Every year, Oswestry u3a members look forward to our special Walking Away Day – a chance to explore further afield, enjoy good company, and take in some of the best scenery our region has to offer.
This year we will be heading to the beautiful Precipice Walk, near Dolgellau. This well-loved route offers stunning views across the Mawddach Estuary and surrounding mountains, all on a good, clear path suitable for most walkers.
Walk Details:
- Start Point: Precipice Walk Car Park, (Toilets) near Dolgellau
- Distance: Approximately 3 miles
- Difficulty: Moderate – good paths with some gentle climbs, however there is some uneven ground, so walking poles recommended.
- Walking Time: Around 2 hours, allowing for plenty of stops to enjoy the views, and take our picnic lunch looking towards Barmouth
This is a circular route, giving us time to take in the scenery at a steady pace, with time to chat and relax along the way.
As is our tradition, after the walk we will head into the lovely market town of Dolgellau. There will be time to enjoy refreshments together in one of the local cafés or inns, before making our way home.
This is always a very sociable part of the day, giving us time to share stories and reflect on another good outing together.
It is suggested that we meet in Oswestry ready to leave at 9.30am. As always, car sharing is recommended where possible, and it would be appreciated if non-drivers could offer a contribution towards fuel costs. The journey to the Precipice Walk car park near Dolgellau takes around 1 hour 20 minutes, nearest Post Code LL40 2NG
We aim to start the walk at 11.00am. Members are advised to bring their own lunch and drinks, as we plan to pause at the viewpoint part way round the walk to enjoy a break and take in the wonderful scenery.
Non-drivers are kindly asked to make a contribution of £5 for this walk to help with fuel costs. This small amount helps support those who regularly offer lifts and ensures we can continue running our walking activities smoothly and fairly for all.
