Overview

This is a short 3.5 mile, pre-AGM, walk starting from Llanellen Village Hall, passing through the village and then a short climb to the Mon & Brec Canal.

We will then follow the canal, stopping for a short refreshments break, before retracing our steps along the canal and back down to the village hall.

The walk will be followed by a light buffet and then the AGM.

The footpath up to the canal is boggy in places.
