Currently the UK of Welsh Governments have changed their Covid rules / gudelines to Zero Level which means there are nor restriction in place as far as outdoor walks.
Remember some Welsh Covid Restrictions still apply in Wales, so it is still important to bring face coverings in case we need to use them such as Public Conveniences (PCs), shops, on Public transort and Medical environments.
Remember to let me know that you plan to walk so that I know how many route maps I need to bring and on special occasions how many pieces of fruit cake.
