Winter Walk

Posted by Martin Wynn

Early in January 8 adults and leaders from Girlguiding Shropshire took part in a winter shamble in the hills above Llangollen. The group enjoyed fine blue skies and crispy snow under foot. The snow made the walk interesting but hard going so it was decided to shorten the planned 10km and take a shorter route back into Trevor where we enjoyed cakes and hot drinks.
