Walk Weekend Celtic Royal Hotel Caernarvon                      

 
     
48 members arrived on the Friday evening looking forward to good walking on the morrow. Unfortunately the

weather intervened Saturday's weather being just about the worst rain we've ever walked in. Hence the

lack of photos.,

 

All walks centred on Beddgelert in the mistaken hope that the further south and east we got the better the

weather, B- and C led by Roger and Sue followed the same route, one as a linear the other a circular with

such complicated car arrangements that at least 2 people had to return to Caernarvon by bus

B+ didn't try Tryfan and did a circuit of Cwm Buchan but the wet rocks caused one member to slip and

 gash his head nastily. The A group gave up their attempt at Cnicht and also did Cwm Buchan but in the

reverse direction.

  

 
Dried off and the evening was great                            
 
The only thing wet was the alcohol!  
apart from Rog's coffee  
 

Live music and time to boogie

  
 
or chat in the lounge  
 

                              despite head injuries!!

  
Sunday dawned bright and sunny. C&B walks headed for Anglesea  
C walked Newborough Warren

 led by Phil Lally

with copious advice from Mike Higgins

  

straggled along the beach

  
and up to the lighthouse  
then through the trees and .....

picking sloes!!!

This is supposed to be a

walking group you know!

note to chairman...

oh no there he is at the back

  
 

B Group led by Rog and Sue Lewis did a

circular from Moelfre

and wisely kept together to avoid car problems

  
 
pausing to study the map...

There's a signpost behind you....Rog has spotted it...

Sue knows the way anyway

  
 
Through an iron age village and back to the coast.  
A walk , an intrepid 4, the rest having no dry clothes (whimps) led by John Jones

 did the walk we should have done on Saturday

  
up, past wild ponies on to Carnedd Daffyd  
The leaders knees started to buckle.....

to Clive's obvious amusement

higher and ever more steeply
until eventually the summit
Next objective Pen yr Ole Wen, in the

foreground with Snowdon behind
then the long descent with many stops to admire the views
and  back to the cars.
