Walks:
01-Jan Start losing the extra weight gained at Christmas walk
Parking: in The visitors centre car park or if you wish to save a few shillings you can park nearby at the side of the road in the Elan Village. Please let Graham know if you are planning to come along - he doesn't want to turn up and find himself as Billy no mates! This walk breaks new ground in the woods above the Elan Village before visiting some nearby cairns that are rarely visited. There are some excellent reservoir views and the opportunity to nip off halfway round for a shorter walk if required.
Start Point:214 SN 92832 64672
Conditions:6 Miles and 1573 feet of ascent. About half the distance if you go for the shortcut. Some gradual inclines and one rather steeper stretch before elevenses. It is a mix of established paths and some less obvious tracks over open ground. Might be a little boggy in places.
