Forthcoming walks - please check the programme for time and 'E' or 'W'
W/c 12th July 2026
C Walk, Tuesday July 14, Canal & Offa's Dyke from Llynclys, 7 miles / 700 ft
Meet at E. The walk is in three parts. The first is across Crick Heath. Next a longer section over Llanmynech Hill along Offa's Dyke - on the actual dyke on this walk, not just a path named after Offa. The path starts on the top of the Dyke. Later a section is in the ditch. Some severe drops.
Leave the OD path to descend an inclined plane, lots of industrial archaeology. Can view the Hoffman kiln and large conventional kilns for making lime. The next section is along the Mongomery canal, which is undergoing, rather slowly, restoration. We pass some more kilns at the end of a tramway. Finally cross two fields, arable hopefully, not cattle.
Surfaces are unremarkable, but rough and with tree roots - one point for terrain - a 9 to10 point walk. One easy stile. On the Offa's dyke section there are a few severe drops to the side of the path.
Directions: At Llynclys, leave the A483 and turn right onto the A495. (The White Lion is on the junction). After a short distance, park in a lay-by on the left-hand side of the road. /// decorated.chose.cloud ///

A Walk, Thursday July 16, Tryfan via the south ridge, 5 miles / 2100 ft
Start ref: SH 659 602 W3W: flask.twilight.haircuts
From the car park we make a steady climb to Llyn Bochlwyd, and then on to the summit of Tryfan (3,009 ft). The last few hundred feet of the climb involve a scramble over rocks / boulders, and particular care is required as there are some very steep drops. We return to the Bwlch, and then follow a gentle descent into the valley of Tryfan’s east side and back to the A5. The route down involves crossing a couple of small streams, and there is scree on paths in part, so again care is required.

B Walk, Thursday July 23, Moel Eithinin from Llanarmon-yn-lal, 10 mls / 1517 ft
This is a circular walk to Moel Eithinin starting from Llanarmon-yn-lal. There are no real hazards as it's mostly on Offa's Dyke pathways; a few styles, nothing difficult. Unfortunately because one of the paths through woods was totally blocked I've had to detour which involves about a mile of quiet roadway along the B5304.
Meet W, Start at SJ190556 - /// repeat.reactions.alley ///
