Newsletter - Llanwonno 11 miler, 12th November

Hello Everyone,
Thankfully the firework season is coming to an end and we can go outside without feeling we are living in a war zone!
It's that time of the week when we start looking forward to the weekend ahead, and this weekend, I am leading a walk in Llanwonno near the Rhondda, and a Lis is giving a talk about environmental art at the Environment Centre.

Llanwonno walk - 12th November

This walk takes place high on the ridges between the Rhonnda and Cynon Valleys. There are fine views, the potential to view a variety of wildlife, the odd waterfall or two, a variety of woodland, both coniferous and deciduous alongside the historical artifracts.

Meet point - As usual, County Hall East Park at 9.30. and then at 10.30 at ST 03338/95943, the start point of the walk - a car park set in woodland. Easiest approach by car is probably via Penrhiwceiber. We should be at the start point of the walk by 10.30

Dogs - As usual, if you have a hairy member of your family you can bring them along, as long as they keep their owners under control!
Refreshments - The Brynfynnon Hotel in Llanwonno for a post walk drink.

Please remember to bring along apporpritae equipment on any walk we organise. Please don't wear jeans, when they get wet, they get cold and horrible, and if you trip and sprain and ankle (or worse) , at this time of year you will soon start to suffer the effects of hyperthermia. So please take time to read the equipment list located at the end of the programme.

Martin is always on the look out for pictures of walks, if you have any that you think would be suitable for the gallery, then send them to martin via his email address martin@wwtl.co.uk so they may be posted on the website. Possibly, if you are a frustrated writer, you may want to report on a walk for the newsletter. If so, get creative and send it along to info@tawetrekkers.org.uk.
