Dear Blogger

Message forwarded by Ingrid Knowles Oswestry Net

The leaves are out, everywhere is looking green and beautiful. Come and walk with Oswestry Ramblers and make new friends! You don't have to be a member, you're welcome to try us out (but we do ask that you join once you've been out with us 3 times). We're a friendly group and we like to chat as we go along. Here's where we're off to in the next couple of weeks:

Saturday 23 May
THIS IS A SATURDAY WALK

Everyone welcome

You are welcome to join the Trefonen Hill Walk see the web page or facebook link for further details. You MUST register with the organisers to enter. There will be the usual choice of routes: 16 or 10 miles. Both routes start and finish in Trefonen and check in at Llansilin. The shorter route is circular, the longer route adds another circle to make a figure of eight with Llansilin at its centre - choose your route on the day, or even on the hoof. The routes follow delightful rights of way and also paths for which we have been granted permission for the day.
The route will be well marked and supervised; written directions given as back-up. https://www.sientries.co.uk/event.php?elid=Y&event_id=17279 for entries, https://www.trefonen-hillwalk.com/ for further details
