Thursday And Sunday Walks: All members participate in these walks at their own risk. They should bring with them sufficient food and water and wear suitable clothing and footwear. Stout boots must be worn on all mountain and moorland walks. Leaders have the authority to refuse to take members who, in the leader’s opinion, do not appear fit enough for the proposed route or are insufficiently equipped. Members are reminded that walk leaders cannot be responsible for ramblers going ahead of the group and beyond visual contact. Dogs cannot be permitted. More details of the walks may be obtained from the leaders, whose phone numbers are included. Car Sharing: Members contribute average £3 to drivers towards their fuel costs, less on short rides or up to £5 for longest trips at driver’s discretion. The meeting place is Penmount car park (£2/8 hrs). Walks marked * phone to meet in front of Criccieth Health Centre 10-15 min after the Pwllheli time.
