This page will provide members with updated information on some future walks, and especially mountain walks, when this is necessary. Most walks will not need this and will proceed according to the information in the walks schedule and as shown on the Next Walk page.
Sunday 23rd September: Carog to Llangollen
This linear walk of just over 9 miles and 1440 ft of ascent is a grade B walk. We leave the train at Carrog Railway Station, cross the River Dee and have a steady climb at the beginning for 30 mins. We walk across undulating hills, moorland and then contour down and around to the River Dee at Horseshoe Falls before finishing off along the canal towpath to Llangollen. The route can be followed on OS Explorer 255.
Meet in Westgate Car Park, Bridgnorth at 08.10 am and at Dobbies at 08.45 am this is earlier than first scheduled (Ian will meet you here) or Llangollen Railway Station at 10.15 am. Train departs at 10.40 am for Carrog where we arrive 47 minutes later. Rail Tickets cost £6.40 for seniors or £7.45 for others. Long stay Car Park is £3.50 for all day parking.
It is a lovely walk with spectacular views and a train journey making it well worth the effort and a long day. The Corn Mill by the River Dee Bridge is a nice place for a meal (over-looking the river) but we will need to book it in advance. Please confirm to Ian Kidd if you want a meal at the end of the walk. I am sure we can add to this on the morning of the walk if necessary but I would like to get a booking in early. It gets busy because of the location.
Please could car drivers contact the leader, Ian if you intend to go straight to the start point.
