Llaneffydd, Moel y Gaer and Moelfre Isaf.
Start:Car park by the village hall in Llanefydd, opposite the Buck Inn. Grid ref:SH982706.
Leave Chester 9-00 a.m.
This walk is taken from Lorna Jenner's book "Walking in the Vale of Clwyd and the Denbigh Moors", and is a walk that we really enjoyed last time we did it. This is a refreshing walk over Moel y Gaer, the site of an Iron Age hill fort. Again we will extend the walk to include Moelfre Isaf.

Leave Chester 8-00 a.m.
Start: Main car park in Conwy, turn left under castle wall on to B5106. Grid Ref: SH781773.
This walk is a repeat of the walk that some of us did in February this year when the weather was a little on the wet side. I dropped out after the Conwy Castle walls and Bodlondeb Wood circuit, so I'm looking forward to completing all of the circuit this time.

Distance:10-11 miles. Climb:3100''.
Start: Riverside Car Park in Llandrillo. Grid ref:SJ35372.
Leave Chester at 8-00 a.m.
This walk is taken from John Tranter's book "Walks in and around the Berwyn Mountains". This is quite a strenuous walk, and in the past has been quite boggy in sections. Hopefully that will not be the case this time as last time we did the walk it was during the Winter months. A superb walk in good visibility and the Sun is shining. Let's hope for a good day.
Thursday 15th September 2011.
Tremeirchion, Y Craig, Sodom and Moel Yr Gaer.
Distance:9-10 miles;Climb:1800'.
Start: Off road parking, minor road East of Tremeirchion. Grid ref:SJ095740.
Leave Chester 9-00 a.m.
The walk is based on two walks from Dave Berry's book "Walks on the Clwydian Hills". This is another walk that is one of my favourite walks and one that appears on the list at least once a year. At this time of the year it should give us the opportunity to appreciate the chaning appearances of the trees as Autumn approaches, and there is also the opportunity of a little foraging! We will probably visit St Bueno's chapel on the hill again and climb to the summit of Moel Maenefna.
Leave Chester 8-00 a.m.
This walk is taken from the Pathfinder Guide to the Peak District. Much of the walk is similar to the Mark Richard route that we have done several times before. Whilst it misses out Grindlow and Great Hucklow, it allows us to explore new sections of Eyam Moor.
This varied walk includes deep wooded valleys and heather moors and gives magnificent views all the way.

All Around Llyn Brenig and In Search of Our Ancestors.
Start: Llyn Brenig Visitor Centre car park (Pay and Display). Grid ref: SH968547' .
Leave Chester 9-00 a.m.
This walk is based on two walks from Dave Berry's book "Walks in the Hidden Heart Of North Wales" or "Walks Around the Hiraethrog Moors and Lakes". This is a low level walk, and although it it extends the walk a little it is well worth the extra effort to visit the ancient Bronze Age Cairns, they were quite impressive the last time we visited them, definately worth a second look!
Saturday 24th September 2011.
The Roaches and Lud's Church.
Distance: 9 -10 miles. Climb: 2000'.Start: Roadside parking below the Roaches North of Upper Hulme. Grid ref: SK004621.
Leave Chester at 8-00 a.m.
This walk is taken from the Pathfinder Guide to the Peak District. The Roaches has become one of our annual favourite walks, but this is a slightly new route for us. It includes the main Roaches ridge, but misses out Hen Cloud. Instead it includes a new route back along Black Brook, and if we have plenty of energy left and it's not too late, Hen Cloud may be added as an extension.
Thursday 29th September 2011.
Dunham Massey and Lymm.
Distance: 11 - 12 miles. Climb:300'.Start: Dunham Massey Car Park: National Trust, so don't forget to bring your Membership Cards with You. Grid ref: SJ735584.
Leave Chester at 9-00 a.m.
The described part of this walk is taken from The Pathfinder Guide to Cheshire and includes sections of the Bridgewater canal and the Trans Pennine Trail as does the extension to Lymm. Whilst the walk explores the Deer park at Dunham Massey, it isn't planned to go into the house, but there may be an opportunity to do so at the end of the walk.
