Notice of our next walk on Wednesday, April 15 from Dolwyddelan to Cwm Penamnen
Eryri Walking Club
We have arranged a circular walk in Dolwyddelan - a beautiful village on the A470 between Betws-y-Coed and Blaenau Ffestiniog.
Our walk is just over 4.5 miles long and we will start and finish at Dolwyddelan Railway Station car park (SH 7373 5217).
We will start walking along a Roman Road which now has a good tarmac surface.
There is a pleasant picnic site by the Afon Cwm Penamnen where we can stop for lunch.
Most of the remaining route will be along good forestry roads but there is a short section which could be a little muddy so strong walking shoes or boots are essential and waterproof clothing is also advised.
As well as the normal photos, there will also be some drone filming this month.
Leading the walk will be Eryri National Park Warden Ioan Davies.
Please note that this walk is slightly more challenging than recent walks especially the first part of the route and that our coach will be leaving at the slightly earlier time of 10:15am and not the usual time of 10:30am.
There are toilets at the beginning and end of the walk.
The NWSB are providing us with a coach which will leave the NWSB Bangor High Street offices at 10:15am with a pick up at the bus stop opposite the entrance to the Bethesda Football Ground at 10:30am.
We wil arrive at Dolwyddelan Station Car Park at around 11:15am to start our walk at 11:30am.
For those wishing to drive to Bethesda there is free parking for Blue Badge holders in the football ground's car park.
We should be back in the railway station car park for the bus to pick us up at 15:00pm for our return journey, getting us back in Bangor around 16:00.
For anyone preferring to come from Llandudno Junction there is a train scheduled to leave at 10:25am arriving at Dolwyddelan at 11:06am with a return journey leaving Dolwyddelan at 14:54pm arriving in Llandudno Junction at 15:41pm.
Can you please let Bethan Sage Williams know by 12:00pm on Wednesday, April at the latest whether you are going to join us as we need to book the necessary size coach for the journey.
Having unfortunately not been able to come on the last few walks, I very much look forward to joining you on this one. Mark.
