Walk lead by Brian Thorne, 11 miles, 1800ft of climbing.
This is a fine, circular walk which requires a brisk pace to be kept throughout.
Leaving the coach, we begin with a sharp initial climb, up through the woods south of Conwy. Field paths and a little road walking lead us up to and around the Iolyn Park caravan site and on to the village of Henryd.
Climbing up through the woods of Parc Mawr on a steadily increasing gradient, we are rewarded for our efforts with stunning views of the Conwy valley and surrounding mountains, before joining the Pilgrim's Way and reaching our lunch stop at Llangelynnin old church.
A steady walk along high ground on the North Wales Path leads us to the top of Sychnant Pass and then on to the now almost obligatory, "Sting in the tail," our final climb, up Conwy Mountain and then down, to well-earned refreshment.
