What could be better than a walk up the local hills into glorious sunshine or thick cloud in the fantastic Welsh countryside? We can't promise you good weather but we do offer good exercise, relaxation, fun and friendship. You don't have to be super-fit, or even have done any hill walking before, so why not give it a try?
We usually go out monthly on a Saturday morning, meeting in Pontprennau, Cardiff, at 9.15am (some also leave directly from Newport). The walks typically take 4-5 hours with a journey time of 1 hour each way, and are 6-10 miles with 300-700m ascent. We visit a variety of locations in South Wales and England and even North Wales with our 3 Peaks challenge in 2008. We take a picnic lunch and usually stop off at a tea shop or pub after the walk to catch up on each others news and view any photographs from the day. Bring walking boots, thick socks, and Wales-proof clothing (ie waterproof jacket and trousers, fleece, hat, gloves, but no jeans). |
