All Covid Restrictions in Wales have been lifted, so it is no longer the law to wear face coverings in any situation, although you may feel more comfortable in some situations to do so. I will still have y face covering with me, you may wish to do the same.
Although it is no longer a law, you may also want to use them in places like as Public Conveniences (PCs), shops or on Public transort.
Remember to let me know that you plan to walk so that it becomes easier to arrange car sharing. in addition it helps me to know how many route maps I need to bring and on special occasions how many pieces of fruit cake will be needed.

Chirk Walk 2.
Chirk, Chirk Bank, Bramble Wood, Ddol and the Llangollen Canal
Distance: 7 miles. Climb: 800'.
Start: Chirk Free parking) Grid ref: SJ29123782
Leave Chester at 09-00 a.m.
David S has suggested this walk for his return to walking with the group, this walk was initially planned for 30th March 2022, but I don't think anyone actually did it!
This walk is one devised by a friend of DS and explores the area mainly to the north east of Chirk. Most of this walk is new to most of us, particularly the section that follows the Maelor Way through Bramble Wood and the area between Ddol and the Llangollen Canal. Exploring new areas always gives added interest to a walk.
Those planning to walk: Martyn, David S., Nigel, Mike, Ed (if LFT negative) .

Leave Chester 09-00.This is another walk from one of Dave Berry's booklets "Walks in the Clwydian Hills".This is a slight variation of the walk that we usually follow, but it also includes one or two new paths for us to explore. On good clear days we should get views of Snowdonia as well as north towards the coast.
The extension, which we will probably complete at the start, explores the countryside to the east of Tremeirchion, some of which we have only used once before.

Clywedog Reservoir and Foel Uchaf.
Distance: 9 miles. Climb: 1800'.Start: Cyffylliog. SJ060578.
There is limited roadside parking in Cyffylliog, so if necessary we will meet up at the Ruthin riverside car park and take as few cars as possible to the start point.
Leave Chester at 08-30.
This walk is taken from Dave Berry's booklet "walks in the Vale of Clwyd". It is a sort of figure of eight walk featuring attractive wooded river valleys, open hills, forest and an upland reservoir. At some of the higher points on the walk we should get some superb views.
I understand that a nesting platform has been set up at the Clywedog Reservoir site and a pair of Ospreys have been seen there, so bring binoculars if you can.
The last time I did this walk major work on the Clocaenog Wind Farm was being done, so I had a challenge negotiating ways around it where the paths had been churned up.

This must be one of the best walks in the Llangollen area, especially on a sunny day. a walk that makes you feel like you're on top of the world with superb views in all directions, including the Dee Valley, Dinas Bran, the Llantysilio Mountains and the Berwyns. This is one of our favourite walks and is always on the list at least once every year.
