Hello everyone!

We’re heading to the stunning Tal y Fan in Wales! Tal y Fan is one of the northernmost peaks of Snowdonia, offering breathtaking views of the Conwy Valley, the Carneddau range, and the coast. This route is not only rich in natural beauty but also steeped in history, with ancient standing stones and remnants of hill forts along the way.

The hike is around 15km with 650 meters of ascent and is a moderate route with some undulating terrain and a couple of gentle scrambles. It’s the perfect way to enjoy the start of Spring, offering a chance to enjoy Snowdonia’s charm and reflect on our hiking adventures together!

We’ll be meeting at Lime Street for 8.00am and aim to arrive at Penmaenmawr station by 10:30am. Please ensure you’re on time so we can maximize our time on the trail.

Equipment:

• Footwear: Sturdy hiking boots are essential due to uneven and rocky paths.
• Weather gear: Welsh weather can be unpredictable, so please bring waterproofs and a warm jacket or fleece.
• General items: Pack enough water to stay hydrated and bring snacks and lunch for energy along the way.

This hike is a great opportunity to challenge yourself with slightly varied terrain while taking in the spectacular scenery Wales has to offer. Let’s end the year on a high note—literally!

A quick reminder: Only purchase a railcard ticket if you have a valid railcard.

Looking forward to seeing you all there!
