Green + Blue + Red
13 – 15 May 2024
No dogs allowed
This trip is suitable for walkers of all grades. 20 members have shown an interest and 8 have booked accommodation (27/10/23)
Day 1 (Green): Aberdaron/Bardsey Island – we take a boat trip estimated cost £45 to bag a small Marilyn (4km/165m) and explore the island. Boat trip depending on tides/weather. Another small Marilyn is planned to be done before or after the boat trip for those who wish.
Day 2 (Green + Blue): AM & PM walks, with a 20 minute drive between, do either or both (Red).
Day 3 (red): Anyone not wishing to do the full walk can either A) omit one of the Marilyns; B) do a self guided walk (4 hr circular); or C) stroll to the Welsh National Language Centre & tea rooms (20 minutes).
We plan to base this trip around Nefyn which is convenient for the start points. There is plenty of self catering accommodation at reasonable prices in the vicinity in May. B&B accommodation has been identified, one of which has 12 rooms, so for those wishing to book early/now, this may enable us to get a group together.
Please notify your interest to John, no commitment, we will just add you to the list for further communications then you can book your accommodation now or when you are ready. Early next year we will ask for commitment for the boat trip and if there is a sufficient number we will organise a private charter(s) which is preferable as the boat only holds 12 people
Further details will be posted here when it becomes available.
