Ads Ventures -walk and explore the UK and Europe

THERE ARE STILL PLACES ON THIS WEEKEND DM ME IF YOU ARE INTERESTED.
On this weekend in North Wales we explore the beautiful coastline around the seaside town of Llandudno.
Llandudno’s appearance has remained unchanged for over a century leaving an attractive seaside resort with a promenade of Victorian pastel-coloured hotels and an elegant pier.
However, the real joy of Llandudno is its location. It is perfectly framed by 2 headlands, the Great and Little Orme which offer excellent walking.
We stay at the Marine Hotel in the heart of Llandudno's promenade all rooms are comfortable and ensuite and have tea and coffee making facilities. There is a hotel pool available for guest use.

Friday October 31st
Arrive at the Marine Hotel and check into your room. Meet at 7:30pm for dinner in the hotel restaurant.
Meal included: dinner

Saturday Nov 1st: Deganwy and the Little Orme
We walk from the hotel to pick up the North Wales path along River Conwy before heading inland and up to Deganwy Castle and cross country to the Little Orme. From here there are views out over Llandudno Bay and, hopefully, down to the seal colonies below. From the little Orme we follow the bay and walk the length of the promenade back to the hotel.
16 km (10 miles) ascent/descent 300 m
Meals included: breakfast and dinner

Sunday Nov 2nd: Conwy Mountain
We drive the short distance (approx. 5 miles) to park in Conwy for a walk that combines sections of the Cambrian Way, and the North Wales path. We follow the waterfront out of town and then gradually climb to the summit of Conwy Mountain (244 m) to take in views across the Great Orme and sea beyond as well as along the Conwy Valley. We cross the Sychnant pass and pick up moorland paths across to Llechwedd and then a series of quiet country lanes and tracks to return back through the walls of the old town to our starting point.
13km (8 miles) ascent/descent 500 m
Meal included: breakfast

Once again we will be combining this walk with Pathfinders. This is an interesting walk which features tranquil woodlands, pools, an old quarry and a nature reserve. We will also see two old lime kilns.
Walking boots are recommended that will give you good grip and ankle support because there will be uneven and rocky surfaces to walk on. There are four gradual inclines of around 200 metres long. There maybe a locked gate to get over. This gate has only ever been locked once before in all the years that i have walked this path. But just thought to mention it just incase it happens to be locked.
Note: All dogs are to be kept on a short lead at all times during the walk. This is for the safety and comfort of everyone. There are no stiles on this walk.. There might be mud in places especially after rainfall.

Walking from Church Stretton we first follow a valley route to the neighbouring village of Little Stretton before heading up to the ancient hillfort of Caer Caradoc. Descending to the south side we walk around Hazler Hill and then up onto Ragleth. The ascent to the very top of Ragleth along the long sweeping ridge is optional, but well worth it. From the summit of Ragleth we descend back to Church Stretton by my newly discovered, but now favourite route back into town. (Walk will be adapted in the event of rubbish weather!) bring lunch, decent boots, waterproofs, an extra layer and walking poles if you use them.
Refreshment will be taken at the end of the walk either in the Kings Arms or possibly the Bicycle Shop.
Dogs on short leads welcome.
Parking in Easthope car park -next to the Co-op. £4.80 for the day.
14.5 km (9 miles) ascent/descent 625 m
