Southport Ramblers welcome all age groups from 8 to 80+ for fortnightly worry-free walking (travelling by coach) with like-minded people throughout the year.
This seaside resort on the north coast of Wales, overlooking the Irish Sea, offers us the opportunity of walking up, or around, both Great Orme, and Little Orme. Whilst our coach may not park up all day in Colwyn Bay, but head for Llandudno giving us the possibility that linear walks could be on offer. We will have to see what our Walk Leaders come up with.
Three walks will be available with details circulated on the coach, and will range from easy to strenuous depending on the walkselected.
A Walk Leader - Dave White. 10 miles with 1800ft of ascent. This is a linear walk starting from the junction of the A55 and A547 near Abergele, and following the North Wales Path west to Llysfaen. Then via Pendared and Tan-y-Llan before taking the Groes Road to Colwyn Bay Leisure Centre.
B Walk Leader - John Slatcher. Todays B Walk is 7.5 to miles with just 120ft of ascent. Starting from the Leisure Center we walk along the coast turning west to just pass the chapel at Rhos. From here we turn inland to Bryn Euryn before making our way to Pwllycrochan Woods. Finally making our way back to Colwyn Bay Leisure Centre.
C Walk Leader - Janet Loines. 8 miles with 133ft of ascent starting from the Colwyn Bay Leisure Centre and walking along the newly rejuvenated Promenade to the Little Orme. Passing a number of interesting places with a chance of some seal spotting (bring your little binoculars if you have some). We return along the same route back to the leisure centre where the coach will be parked.
Bus Stop at the Plough Roundabout in Crossens, Southport, and calling at all pick-up points going south.
