Cancelled Walk 3 September 2016

Saturdays walk from Llanvihangel Crucorney to Abergavenny has been cancelled due to a forecast of 60% – 90% probability of rain from 10am onwards.

Changes to 3rd September Walk

The walk on Saturday 3rd September will now leave Cogan Leisure Centre at 8am and will be led by Barrie. The group will car share to Abergavenny to catch the 9.30 bus from Abergavenny to alight at the Skirrid Inn. We will then walk back to Abergavenny via 4 hills and involves about 3500ft of ascent over its 15 miles. The walk is therefore graded as strenuous.

Walk and Clear 26th August 2016

The first walk and clear will take place on Friday 26 August.

We know it is short notice but hopefully some of you will be able to make it and we only need a few hours of your time.

If you can come we will meet at 9.30am at the Barry Waterfront to share transport and it is our intention to start footpathing in the Wenvoe area.

So if you are up for checking, clipping and bashing your way through some local footpaths please think about coming along and with fingers crossed the sun will shine!
