Coordinator Helen Pritchard

The Colne-Rowsley has had to be postponed at the last minute, so Helen has agreed to run a ‘local walk’ of around 15mls. Please contact Helen [details as per Handbook] if you plan to attend.

I’ve now confirmed the club booking at the ‘Lazy Crofter’ hostel in Durness and to date, some 15 members and their guests have indicated that they’re up for what could just be the most Northerly UK mainland meet the club has ever organised. Durness is in an area rich in geological and historical interest with excellent walking, cycling, scrambling, and climbing opportunities, in some of Scotland’s most fascinating scenery. Incidentally, it’s also where John Lennon used to spend his childhood summer holidays. Because of the distance, some attendees may wish to break their journeys at Craigallan and John Patrick is aware of this. The hostel sleeps 20 and I need to confirm numbers by the end of February, so please let me know if you’d like to join us. I look forward to seeing you there

Same detail as last year: join me for about a 34 mile circular walk visiting the summits around the Vale of Llangollen with views of Snowdonia, the mid-Wales mountains, the River Dee Valley and the Shropshire Hills (apparently). Highlights will include: “the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct (the longest and highest aqueduct in Britain), Moel y Gaer (Welsh for ‘bald hill of the fortress’), and an Iron Age hill fort on the summit of Llantysilio Mountain” (we’ve never actually found this but apparently it’s there). We might also throw in the medieval Castell Dinas Bran for good measure (though not officially part of the round. I aim to set off from Llangollen Bridge (GR SJ215 422) on the Saturday at 07:30am. For those interested in making a weekend out of it– our home is adjacent to a campsite (Tower Farm, http://www.towerfarmholidays.co.uk/index.html).There are plenty of walking, on and off-road cycling, water sports or climbing options nearby. Please let me know by the Wednesday before if you plan to attend.
