Notice for our next walk on Wednesday, November 6, 2024

Llanberis Circular Walk

Due to an unfavourable weather forecast we had to cancel last week's planned walk to Aberffraw, Ynys Môn.

Seeing that our walking group's Christmas lunch is on Wednesday, December 4 (details and menu to follow in the next couple of weeks), we've decided to bring our next walk forward a couple of weeks to Wednesday, November 6.

Eurwyn Thomas, a volunteer in the group, is to lead the walk around Llanberis.

It will be a circular walk of around 4 miles on what will be mostly tarmac surfaces.

We will start our walk in the car park by the the 'Llafn y Cewri’ ('Blade of the Giants') sculpture at 11:00am.

Skirting around Llyn Padarn, we'll make our way towards the National Slate Museum where there are picnic tables and toilets.

This is where we'll have our lunch break.

After lunch we will continue our walk passing the old Ysbyty Chwarel Dinorwig Quarry Hospital making our way past the listed Grade 1 Dolbadarn Castle built in the early 13th century by Llywelyn the Great, completing our walk in the car park where we set off from.

Transportation will be provided by Cymdeithas Deillion Gogledd Cymru - North Wales Society of The Blind leaving Bangor at 10:30am returning to Bangor at around 15:00pm.

Will you be as kind as to inform us by mid-day next Wednesday 30 October if you plan to join us in Bangor or if you will be making your own way to Llanberis.

By letting us know by this date, we can make arrangements with Dilwyn's Coaches to what size coach we will require.

Our mobile contact on the day is 07949 996405

Looking forward to seeing you all.

We will postpone the trip in the event of bad weather.

If we need to make a decision to cancel, we will let you know by email and text by 6pm on the evening before the walk.

Responding to this notice, could you include a mobile number where we can send text messages please.

It is important that if you intend joining us then you let Bethan know as soon as possible so we can organise the appropriate coach on bethan@nwsb.org.uk or 01248 353604.

We would be grateful if you could let us know:

1. Will you be joining us on the walk?
2. Is there anyone coming with you?
3. Do you need a sighted guide volunteer?
4. Your mobile phone number.
5. Where will you be meeting the group?
