Crug Hywel and Pen Alt Mawr with Kate. Another sunny day for a beautiful walk up from Llanbedr to table mountain, along the ridge and back down to Llanbedr.

Wye valley to Gaer Hill with Dave. Last minute change of plan due to rain, wind and low cloud. A wet walk but a nice change.

9th, 10th September: Beacons way – last two sections. The forecast was awful but in the event we only had a few showers and quickly dried off. Eight of us completed these last two sections

Leaders: Kay and Brian. A very sad day as 14 people joined Kay and Brian for another amazing walk before they move to Devon. Everyone has looked forward to their walks, as being so interesting and varied, always slightly different from our regular walks. Kay and Brian will be missed so much as leaders and companions on our weekly walks, and we wish them every joy in Devon discovering Dartmoor with their family.

Beacons way section 7 from Tafarn y Garreg to Llanddeusant. About 9 miles high above Llyn y Fan Fach and Llyn y Fan Fawr.

Olchon Valley and Cat’s back with Paula. Lovely sunny walk – a great favourite of the groups.

Beacons Way section 6 from Storey Arms to Tafarn y Garreg. A wonderful 14.5 mile hike over unfamiliar territory for some of us, on a sunny day with a gentle breeze. A perfect walk.
