This is one of my favourite walks, and a surprise that I haven't followed the route since 10 October 2018.
Today's weather matched that in 2018, and Sue and I enjoyed he 12km circuit at a leisurely pace, taking over 7 hours compared with the usual 5 hours taken for this walk. I am slowing down.
It was busy by Llyn Ogwen, but we found a space to park about a 15 minute walk from Ogwen Cottage. At least that enabled us to relish the flat start, with good views along Llyn Ogwen.
This was a visit by Stockport Walking and Outdoors Group.
The hall was partially destroyed by fire in 2016. Repairs funded by the insurers have been completed, but grants are sought for the renovations needed but not covered by insurance.
There's a fairly new website - here.
Visitors are welcomed (£2 entry fee) on one Sunday - usually the last - each month. The current dates of these themed visits are here.
Our visit was recorded on the 'Blog' section of the website as follows:
On Thursday June 1st our Chairman Richard gave Stockport Walking & Outdoor Group a guided tour of the Hall. They raised more than £200 for Friends of Wythenshawe Hall and all said they really enjoyed the day. Thanks also to William (Wythenshawe Park Manager), and Pamela, Irene & Deborah from FoWH for making the visit possible.
Here are my pictures of the visit.
