Dear Blogger
Message forwarded by Ingrid, Oswestry net - Lovely walks for really keen type walkers
February seems to be just as cold and grey as January, but we're still going out walking! Anyone is welcome to come along on our rambles, you don't have to be a member (but we do ask that you join once you've walked 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:

A 7-mile moderate walk from Meifod. Our route crosses the river Vyrnwy and then follows the line of wooded hills beyond. These were the sites of hill forts and settlements and we will see several of these on the way. The first half of our walk is on Glyndwr's Way (a National Trail) via Broniarth Hill, Llyn Du, and Fron-las. The upper lane gives great views to the hills in the west. Then we will climb up through the forestry to one of the hilltop settlement sites for our lunch stop, Our return uses part of the Cross Britain Way through woods back to the valley. Please bring your own refreshments for coffee break and lunch. For full details see https://www.ramblers.org.uk/go-walking/group-walks/hills-south-meifod-valley
