Walkabout Flintshire

Monthly Walks

Latest Updates..............

Hello everyone,

This is to confirm that this month's walk will be led by Arwel. As usual the meeting point is in the Coop car-park, off New Street, Mold; free parking, toilets available, in time to leave at 10:00am. This time there will be no driving as the walk will start from there.

Arwel tells me he plans to walk up Weary Willy and over the Hafod Moor and then through the Twmpath in Gwernymynydd to Ffordd Las at the side of Fron Hall and thus back to Mold via Bryn Coch Lane

Please feel free to pass on the details to anyone else who may be interested.

Hope you can make it.

Best regards,

Neville Howell, Volunteer Walk Leader
