5th January -- Conwy, N. Wales | |||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
As so often, the weather was better than forecast. We had no more than a sprinkle of rain, and some sunny periods: nice walking conditions. | |||||
The 'C' group walk started at the harbour and continued to Bodlondeb Wood and around to the road leading to Conwy Mountain. Here took a long incline climbing to Sychnant pass. From the pass, we returned to the valley and over farm fields for our pleasant undulating walk back to Conwy. | |||||
