We are looking forward to the St. David’s Hospice Twin Falls Walk this Sunday, 7th June. This reasonably challenging 6 mile walk starts from the Community Room above Yr Hen Felin Caffi, in the centre of Abergwyngregyn. Free parking spaces for approx. 20 cars near the entrance to the village (just beyond the bus stop, and more or less opposite the old Aber Falls Hotel). In addition we have permission to use the forecourt of Aber Original Pine. There are two additional car parks, however, both of these involve parking charges and backtracking through the village to register.
Registration takes place between 10am and 11am. A fee of £10/adults £5/children for those not collecting sponsorship. For those collecting sponsorship there is no minimum amount.
For an information pack call 01492 879058 (during office hours).
