RHIWDERIN CIRCULAR WALK. SUNDAY, OCTOBER 27 GRADE: MODERATE DISTANCE: 3 MILES (APPROX) Join the countryside wardens for an autumn walk around the rolling countryside and woodlands above Rhiwderin. Mostly rural paths, and woodland tracks, there will be some steep climbs with a number of stiles and gates to negotiate along the route, which reward the walker with some great autumn views over the surrounding countryside landscape. Meet at Rhiwderin Community Centre, Pentre Tai Road, ready to walk by 10am and to finish at around 1pm.
CAN I MANAGE THAT WALK? WALKS ARE GRADED ACCORDING TO THE FOLLOWING LEVELS: EASY – no significant obstacles or problems to access. MODERATE – longer walks with some slopes, stiles, steps and uneven ground to negotiate. ENERGETIC – as above, but may involve steep climbs and more extended walking. Please ensure you have a suitable level of fitness to be able to take part in your chosen walk without difficulty. Suitable clothing and footwear is also necessary for these events, especially if the weather is wet or cold. For longer walks ensure you have lunch and a drink. The council would like to thank guest leaders for their assistance in organising these events. The co-operation of local landowners, farmers and those providing parking facilities is also greatly appreciated. All the events included in this programme are free of charge.

HEALTH AND SAFETY The safety of anyone attending the events included in this leaflet is of the utmost importance. However, accidents can happen and people attending the events do so at their own risk. Any children under 16 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Any vehicles left unattended are left at the owner’s risk.
DOGS If dogs are brought along to the events they must be kept on leads at all times and under close control always. Some events are not open to any dogs at all, and in these cases it is stated in the text.
