Walkers

Status:Active, open to new members
When: On Thursday mornings
2nd Thursday 10:30

Weather permitting we go walking once a month, usually on the second Thursday. We enjoy healthy exercise in the fresh air with the emphasis on enjoyment and companionship as we explore the beautiful countryside in the North Wales area. Each member of the group volunteers to lead the walks in turn with Derek Williams co-ordinating our programme.

You will need boots, with a good tread, no smooth soles; not trainers nor similar very lightweight shoes which won't cope with the rougher or wetter ground very well and could be dangerous in some places. Walking poles would be an advantage on some walks as would something warm and waterproof to sit on in the colder weather.

We will almost always walk on paths or tracks or quiet roads. There will be some steeper sections, but not consisting of hundreds of feet together.

We don't expect to walk for longer than 3 hours. Occasionally we have an all day leisurely walk, bringing a packed lunch. The Leader will have either reconnoitred the walk the week before or know the route well.

If you enjoy walks of between 4 miles and 8 miles and would like to join us please do contact Derek Williams on 01492 514267 for further information.

We enjoy beautiful scenery, good company and walk places we’ve never been before.
