Dates and Walks February 2010

Updated 23rd February 2010.
Thursday 25th February 2010.
Moel Fammau via the Leet, Cilcain and Two Reservoirs.
.
Distance: 10-11 miles. Climb: 1800'.
Start: Lay-by opposite the Loggerheads Memorial on the Mold to Ruthin Road. Grid ref:SJ202626.
Leave Chester at 9-00 a.m.
This walk used to be a regular walk on New Years Day, and it is some time since we last did it. The original walk was devised by Michel, but we will probably adapt it slightly, unless anyone is feeling nostalgic. We used to start at the Loggerheads Country park, but if we can we will park in the lay-by to avoid the rather high parking fee charged at the Country Park for leaving a car more than 4 hours. Looks like there will still be snow on the summit of Moel Fammau, so don't expect to linger too long to admire the view! Sections on this walk have in the past been known to be muddy!
Saturday 27th February 2010.
Aber Garreg Fawr, Coed y Nant and Bwlch y Ddeuffaen.
Distance:11.5 miles; Climb:2500'.
Start:Aber Falls Car Park at Pont Newydd. Grid ref:SH662720.
Leave Chester 8-00 a.m.
These two walks explore the foothills of the Carneddau in areas rich with pre-historic settlements and burial sites. Last time we included a slight detour to visit the summit of Garreg Fawr and on the return journey saw a male Hen harrier hunting.
