This Sunday's walk in Glyncorrwg and other goodies!

Hi Folks,
Here’s some details for the next walk this Sunday, and some other motley morsels ranging from the Snowdonia trip to local bands to parachute jumps(!)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Glyncorrwg Walk – This Sunday, 9th July
The walk will be led by Graham and will take us into little-known territory north of Glyncorrwg. This route will take in secluded forest tracks, stunning views of the Cynon Valley, an ice-cream stop (hurrah), industrial archaeology and a minewater treatment system!
There is also the option to stop off at the Glyncorrwg Pond and Mountain-Bike Centre on the way back, where there are bar facilities and a cafe.
Contact Graham on 07770 435341 for further details.
Length of walk: 11 miles
Difficulty: Moderate
Meeting Times/Places: 9:30am at County Hall Carpark in Swansea, or at the start point of the walk in Glyncorrwg at 10:30.
Directions to start point: Get off at junction 40 of the M4, follow A4107 to Cymmer, and then take the minor road that leads to Glyncorrwg (it should be signposted). In Glyncorrwg village, there are some parking places by a row of terraced houses by the River Corrwg. Grid ref; SS 878 993. These directions are only rough, so if you’re not sure or you get lost, give Graham a ring.
There may be some midges on this walk; not with little tiny rucksacks and boots (what a bizarre thought), but flying around our heads, obviously. However, don’t fear because Graham has enough insect repellent to go around for everyone!

Snowdonia Trip – 11th to 13th August
We now have 14 people going to Snowdonia, but still have some spaces left. If you want to come but haven’t told me yet, please call me on 07766652837. Just to remind you, it’s £30 for three nights accommodation in Llanberis, which is very cheap, and what’s more, the Snowdonia scenery will be priceless!

Message from Rob. W - Thursday’s Bands at the Tavern
There are two good bands on in the Uplands Tavern this Thursday:
King of Despair - http://www.myspace.com/kingofdespair
Gethin Pearson - http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=22828528
I like them, but there are snippets of their songs above if people want to check it out first!
8 pm meet for anyone who is interested.

Message from Sacha – Charity Parachute Jump
As some of you already know, I've foolishly agreed to throw myself out of a perfectly good plane 10,000feet above Cirencester on the 29th July. I'm scared of flying and I'm not that good with heights either - so why am I doing this?!
My aim is to try and raise £500 for Marie Curie Cancer Care - an organisation that provides high quality nursing care, totally free, to give terminally ill people the choice of dying at home. They also work to actively promote quality of life for people with cancer and provide support for their families. If you would like to support this very worthy cause or if you just want to see me thrown out of a plane(!), you can click on the link to make a secure online donation.

The webpage doesn't show the cash sponsorship I have already received which currently totals around £180. It would be great to hit the £500 mark, so please dig deep!
Many thanks in advance.

Thanks for those items guys. Incidentally, Rob or I won’t be at this Sunday’s walk because we’ll both be doing a bike ride across Wales.
But that's another story.
All the best and happy hiking!
