Join us for a relaxed and friendly guided walk along the half of the third part of the stunning Llwybr Llechi Eryri – the Snowdonia Slate Trail. Starting at the National Slate Museum in Llanberis, we’ll wind our way along the slate trail for three miles, heading towards Waunfawr. Then will make our way back to the car park via the disused quarries of Cefn Du. There is an optional dip in the lake at the end if you choose.
The uphill section is steady in the middle of the walk, the end of the walk is downhill. As with all North Wales walks, expect some boggy sections, even on a dry day.
Bring comfy walking shoes/boots, a waterproof jacket and trousers (just in case!), lunch, snacks and a drink. If its a warm day, you'll also need a sunhat and suncream, and extra water (at least 2 litres). Bring a swimming costume and lightweight towel if you would like to swim. Well behaved dogs on leads are welcome.
This walk is free for unpaid carers (people who self-define as undertaking care of a loved one with an illness or disability, no proof required), and a £5 donation for non-carers. Please do book your space in order to attend as numbers are limited.
We will provide walking poles free of charge and tow floats for swimmers.
Thanks to funding from The National Lottery Community Fund, Fund for Wales and the Alpkit Foundation.
We will cover all 86 miles of Llwybr Llechi Eryri - Snowdonia Slate Trail - walking every Thursday. Look out for further events.
This walk is guided by Rachael l Hobbs, Lowland Leader and Open Water Lifeguard at Pen Y Bryn Outdoor Learning CIC
