Talybont Circuit- Brecon Beacons



On Sunday Dave returns to the Beacons to lead a strenuous but enjoyable walk around the Talybont Reservoir. The route will cover a variety of scenery including lake, forest and stunning ridgeline vistas. There will be some steep ascents and some exposed conditions, so walkers must be of a reasonable level of fitness and ensure they bring plenty of layers and adequate weather protection. Call Dave if unsure.


Date: Sunday 22nd November

Difficulty: Strenuous

Distance: 10 Miles

Meeting: County Hall at 0930, or the lay-by by Talybont Reservoir at 1030.

If you're planning to meet at the start point, please let Dave know. For more details, or directions to the start point call Dave on 07828 621311.

Lampeter Lampoonery - 27-29 November

The time is fast approaching for the Lampeter winter warmer weekend. All the places are booked on this trip but if you want to find to join us you may be able to find a last minute B&B in Lampeter.

I think most of you know who you are grabbing a lift with. If not, please give me a call (07791089942). I know some of you are planning on arriving early to Penty Cottage (please see http://www.walesdirectory.co.uk/holiday-cottages2/WALESOVB.htm for details of the cottage and a map) but I think the majority of us will arrive aroud 6.30 - 7pm. We are planning to eat at the Cwmann Tavern for 7.30pm.

The walk on Saturday (Soar y Mynydd) will be 6miles and is easy to moderate. Please bring some sturdy walking boots as it is was quite slippery underfoot a couple of weeks ago. On Sunday the walk will be around 5 miles starting in Aberaeron .

Anyway I will be calling people over the next week to check everyone is happy with lifts etc.

Thanks,

Christian

Christmas Meal Update - Garuda, 3rd December

Most people have sent their orders in for Garuda, thank you, but there are still some outstanding. Please could you send them to me, if you haven't already, as it will help Garuda in ordering ingredients, and save time on the night in terms of the restaurant having to prepare such a big order. I asked them about rice and noodles, etc, and they said we are fine to order those when we arrive, so I will give the order to them without rice/noodle choices (as not many have specified) and then you can order these on the night.

Thanks,

Doug (07766652837).
