Busy weekend

Frosty fence

Saturday 27th February was our Christmas meal at The Kings Head. 22 and a half sat down to a great ‘pub grub’ meal.  Thanks to all who came and to The Kings Head for a good night.  The photograph competition was voted on by all the assembled walkers and by various voting scams and sleight of hand I managed to win with this photo. Taken on the 29th March 2009 in the Arans.  (see the photo gallery for more pics from the same day)

Sunday morning saw 14 of us walking in a new area to the group: to the west of Wrexham above Coed Poeth.  A longish walk with a very cold wind on the tops. A grand day. Thanks to all who came and all who drove. (Pics in the gallery)

Friendly localsDone the recce – Thursday 11th Feb.  Very bright, clear and cold with smashing views. Some pictures in the photo gallery.

On the programme it says its around 7 miles, but it probably more like 9.  Straightforward stuff, no tough climbs either up or down and with a great variety of landscape.  See you all at The Oak for a 9.00 depart.

Record turnout – 22½

A chilly damp day on Llanymynech Hill – but what a crowd – a delight to see.  Welcome to all who walked with us for the first time today, hope to see you all again: thanks to Graham Lewis for leading and to all those who drove.  The next walk – 28th February 9.00 am from The Oak, will be a bit different.  Open moorland, fewer stiles and a bit longer.  Tell you more about it when I have done the recce this week.

Don’t forget to get you Christmas dinner choices to me BEFORE Friday 19th February.  PHOTOS OF THIS WALK ON NOW
