Joan
Children in Need Walk
Joan Lang
9 mile easy walk or a shorter 6 mile walk.
The walk starts from Llanyrafon Square through Bath Road and orchard to the boating lake, where we will stop for a coffee by the model boats. Then walk along the river to Sebastopol, with maybe a liquid stop at the Open Hearth. We will then have lunch at Fishpond Park Panteg, then walk back along the canal from Sebastopol. Alternatively for anyone that wants to skip the last 3 miles of canal walking they can catch the X24 Newport bus from Panteg which stops at Llanyrafon Square.
Meet at Wickes Car Park 09:30 NP10 5GN or 09:45 at Llanyrafon Square (shops) NP44 8HR.
Suggested voluntary donation of £5 to support Children in Need
