Sunday 21st Sept - The Giedd Forest Walk





Now in case you weren't aware, Alex is commonly known as the 'Rain Man' due to his uncanny ability to induce torrential downpours on all of his walks so far;-)! We are all hoping that Alex will be able to buck the trend this weekend on his latest attempt at the wonderful Giedd Forest walk.



This is a walk around the upper Swansea valley which includes the Giedd forest along with some open stretches of hills and moors. There will be some sections of broken ground and potential bogginess so come prepared! Don't let that put you off though as this walk is a winner; bleak, peaceful and atmospheric (in the right conditions!!), with a good variety of landscapes.



Meeting Times: 0930 at County Hall Carpark or about 1015 at the walk start point; Cwmgiedd Picnic Site at GR792128.



Difficulty: Moderate with some rough terrain in patches



Distance: 10 Miles



Contact: Alex N on 01792296685
