Newsletter - Fan Fawr walk - Saturday 30th September

On Saturday, that temptress Laura lures us on a Beacons walk. We had a cracking walk last Saturday (even if I say so myself!) and you can expect the walk on Saturday to be the same.

________________________________

Back to Nature and on to Fforest Fawr

Imposing crags and rolling moorland with great views as we climb from a couple of miles north of the Storey Arms to Fan Frynych, taking in the impressive Craig Cerrig-gleisiad Cliffs and to the Summit of Fan Fawr. Eyes peeled for peregrine falcons, before heading back to base and on to Libanus for a well earned pint.
Please contact Laura for more info - 07968109145.

Distance 8-9 Miles

Meet Point County Hall at 9:30 or Lay-by about a mile and a half further on from Storey Arms 10:30

Dogs Of course dogs are allowed, but as usual, the owner must take full responsibility for them and ensure they are under proper control.

Equipment Rain gear, good footwear food and drink. Check the website for a full list, remember, this is a hill walk in a remote area.

Weekend in Pembrokeshire - 24th to 26th November


Don't forget to reserve your place and send a deposit of £10 to me (Rob). Cheques are now made payable to Tawe Trekkers.

Cheques to be posted to:

Rob Lewis
89 Gellifawr Road

Total cost as yet unconfirmed, but as I say, if we fill the hostel it will be £8.35 per night/£16.70 for two.

In a bad case scenario and we only get, say 10 people from both groups coming (unlikely), then it will still only be £15 per night.
