Walk B, LLANBERIS, 9th September

Walk lead by Mike

The walk begins and finishes near Padarn lake. It is a seven and a half mile walk with some spectacular views. It is mixed terrain with walking through the woods, across open fields / moorland and on road at times. There are both ascents and descents on the walk with some level ground walking in between to give you a breather. We pass some lovely streams and waterfalls which add to the beauty of this walk. There are a few tricky bits of the walk where it could be slippy and the descent from the slate quarry viewpoint back into Llanberis is a little steep down the old slate rail path and some large steps.

Walk C, LLANBERIS, 9th September

Walk lead by Gwyn Jones, approx 5 miles.

This walk goes round the lake.  From the coach park we head towards the lakeside and continue along level ground , mostly on a disused railway track, to the northern end.  From here we head round the end of the lake and walk up a tarmac road. It is a bit steep in one or two places but there will be plenty of time to stop for a breather. We then enter the woods and make our way back down to the lakeside. During this descent there is one short ascent up a rocky path but there are several viewpoints which make it all worth while.
