Special Interest Rambles

From walks for the visually impaired to Rail Rambles and occasionally Booting it by Bus
we can now do some special walks for some special people....

A small group of amazing volunteers conduct guided walks of 3 - 4 miles long for visually impaired Ramblers (V.I.R.),
usually on on the third Thursday each month (depending on school holidays), starting at 10:30am sharp.
Everyone is welcome to participate and you will be certain of great company.
Contact Tony on 01495 214632 or ken 'dot' bayliss 'at' gmail 'dot' com for further details

The Ramblers Association run a very wide range of Rail Rambles all over Wales.
See their website on the links page for more details.
