Hopefully we will be fortunate with the weather this Saturday, cold and cloudy but with some sunshine breaking through being the forecast - though it is still three days ahead and things can change.
Guto is leading the Stroll walk, which in the main will follow the Lon Gwyrfai trail through Beddgelert Forest back to Rhyd Ddu. My plans for the Stride walk came unstuck when I did a rece a few days ago and found that felling operations have started in the higher parts of the forest. With tracked vehicles involved there is a lot of mud and sludge about, very messy and to be avoided on Saturday with some alternative routes.
At the end of the walks the idea is to meet up in either the Cwellyn Arms or Ty Mawr Tearooms in Rhyd Ddu, depending upon your preference. When we tried this last year, with two walks from Llanfiarfechan, the Strollers beat us back and left the café ten minutes before we got there, having finished their drinks and chat. Let’s see if we do better this weekend!
Look forward to seeing you at the Rhyd Ddu car park in time for the 11.05 bus to Beddgelert.
