RAMBLING WEEKENDS
LLANDUDNO WEEKEND
8th- 10th April 2011 What glorious weather we had for our Llandudno weekend. The weather was hot and sunny for the whole weekend. It was just like summer. Llandudno is a lovely seaside place with lots to see and do. The first day we walked from Rhos-on-Sea into Llandudno, with some of us going up the Little Orme where we had lovely views. Day two was at Betsw-y-Coed where we had three different walks in this beautiful area - the 'A' party going up Moel Siabod, the 'B' party, Swallow Falls and the 'C' party walked in the Betsw-y-Coed area and visited the Visitors Centre. Day three was spent in Llandudno with many of us going up the Great Orme, either walking, tram or cable car. Lots to see and the shops were great! ALL PHOTOS ARE NOW ON THE WEBSITE - I HOPE YOU ENJOY THEM!
