I've had a few people asking me about the walk for Max on the 29th March, so me and Tony went to do it today to get more details π
We done the steep walk on the way up, which took around 45 mins with a few stops on the way to catch my breath and avoid having to call mountain rescue π₯΄
On the way down we decided to do the easier route so that we could compare and that took around 40 mins down, so im going to say about an hour up. But that took us to another car park a bit further up from where we had parked. It was an extra 15 mins from there to the car park we had parked at and on the way back it started to hail stone the biggest stones I've ever seen, definitely our Max playing with us π It really made me smile and then we were greeted by a little robin when we got back to the car π¦π
Unfortunately we have had to cancel the coach transfer, as we don't think it would be able to get up there. There are a few places up to the car parks that are a bit tight and one track roads, so apologies for this.
So the details for the walk on Sunday 29th March are...
Meeting at Bwelch Pen Barras Car Park at 11am.
We will then do the easier route round the side and up to Moel Famau so that its a bit more accessible for everyone.
The path up/down can be unsteady in places and there is a lot of loose slate, so make sure you have decent shoes on for this.
Although we did see kids walking up in wellies and trainers.
It was also alot colder going round the side than it was going up the middle, so layer up.
To finish off we will be meeting back at for a well deserved drink which will be around 2.30/3pm
Things to remember..
Bring snacks and water.
Suitable clothing
Dogs need to be kept on a lead in certain places due to wildlife and farm animals. So please read the signs.
Also the clocks go forward the night before, so dont forget to set your clocks to the correct time so we dont miss you.
Looking forward to seeing everyone and raising awareness for The Mighty Max Johnson Foundation π
Please dont feel that you need to raise money just to be apart of what we are doing, your presence and helping us to make awareness is more than enough π
