Peninsula
Frances Llewellyn will be
taking us to the Llþn peninsula this year to visit the
hill forts at Garn Boduan, near Nefyn and at Garn Madryn a
further 3½ miles to the south west. Both ascents
will involve an easy climb of some 700ft and we will walk
the distance between them which will mainly be along
attractive and relatively quiet country lanes. It is
planned to visit various places of interest along the route
and the topography of this part of Wales is of particular
note. Two coaches will pick-up at
the usual points on the island before leaving Anglesey at
about 10 am and proceeding to Maentwrog for morning
coffee. We then continue our journey to Dolgellau,
where we shall have time for a picnic lunch and the
opportunity to see recent architectural conservation work in
the company of a Snowdonia National Park Authority
official. At about 2 pm the coaches will take us on to
the early iron foundry at Dolgun, where another S.N.P.
official will guide us. We shall then proceed along
the Wnion valley to Llanuwchllyn, and a ride along the
lakeside railway should bring us to the outskirts of Bala in
time for a meal at the Old School Restaurant. Suitably
refreshed we return to Anglesey by way of the picturesque
Tryweryn and Prysor valleys. Based at the THF Posthouse,
Lincoln. Visits to Lincoln Cathedral, Lincoln Castle,
The Gaol Chapel, The Lawn Visitor Centre, Doddington Hall
and Buxton. Both the church and the
house have close associations with the Tudors and we will
meet at Penmynydd Church at 2 pm. by kind permission of
Canon Trefor Evans. Follow the B5420 road either from
Llangefni or Menai Bridge (Four Crosses) and turn in
Penmynydd village. From Llangefni turn first left
after Penmynydd sign; from Four Crosses first right
after Penmynydd sign. Both signs marked with A.A.S.
signs. Follow narrow road to church (MR 517750) for about
half a mile. After a talk at the church by Mr. Eryl Rothwell
