Llandysul and Pont-Tyweli 2020 Walking Weekend

Saturday 26th and Sunday 27th September 2020

Walkers walking uphill in woodlandBelow is the programme for our 2020 Walking Weekend.
There are less walks this year and no evening entertainment, as we aim to keep ourselves as safe as possible during this time.   We were uncertain if we could hold a walking festival but the walk leaders have done a great job to put together four walks during a very challenging time.

When you come to book on the walk you will need to confirm that you have read the Information below and will need to complete a Covid-19 Self Declaration on the booking form. You will also need to do this at the start of the walk.  We will keep your contact details for 21 days after the end of the festival for Track and Trace purposes.

Thank you for your support.
