Fundraising - 8th May 200808/05/2008
Please join us at Abergwyngregyn on Sunday, 1st June for the St. David’s Hospice Twin Falls Walk. This will be the first time we have used this route for a sponsored walk, but are confident that it will prove every bit as enjoyable as the very popular Two Lakes Challenge. This is a moderately challenging walk, of about 6 miles. Good footwear essential! Registration will take place in the community tea rooms above Yr Hen Felin Caffi between 10am and 11am. There is free parking at the entrance to the village (more or less opposite the old Aber Falls Hotel), and if that’s full we have permission to use the forecourt of Aber Original Pine workshop. For those who don’t wish to look for sponsorship, there will be a registration fee of £10 for adults and £5 for children. The views are stunning, and the cakes at Yr Hen Felin Caffi, are pretty good too!
For an information pack contact Beth or Marie on 01492 879058.
