A walk around Carnedd Moelyci
The route is 10km (approx 6 miles) of footpaths, some of which are a section of the North Wales Pilgrims Way. We will tour the perimeter of Carnedd Moelyci, which stands at 396m, but will not summit. There are lovely views of the Glyderiau, and Anglesey, and some sections of enchanting forest. Dogs are welcome. It is expected to take 3 hours with an optional stop at the café and farm shop at the end. There are 8 spaces on the walk. It will be chatty and relaxed.

Walk Leader - Rachael H.
Rachael is a qualified Lowland Leader & she’s also qualified in First Aid for Mental Health & Outdoor First Aid – so you know she’ll keep you safe and make your Wellness Walk a safe and supportive space.
Rachael is based in beautiful North Wales – she’s also a qualified Open Water Lifeguard so you’ll often find her combining two passions and heading out for a walk & a swim 🙂
Rachael’s favourite local walk is from Ogwen Cottage up to Llyn Idwal as the views are stunning and it’s super accessible. Her favourite walk anywhere is just down the road from Idwal – an exciting wander up Tryfan – from where you can see three different lakes and far into the surrounding hills and countryside.
Living in North Wales Rachael’s top tip is to invest in the best waterproofs you can afford – then you can always go for a walk – even in liquid sunshine.

Informed Consent - we want you to know what risk is involved
While we take every precaution to ensure your safety on our walks (physically, psychologically and emotionally), all outdoor activities involve an inherent and unavoidable risk of an accident occurring that could lead to personal injury. All of our Walk Leaders are qualified in First Aid and carry emergency equipment to deal with emergencies. Walk Leaders are also trained to dynamically alter the route or plan for the day based on numerous potential factors - any decision to do so is fully authorised and expected by Wellness Walks. All participants should take an active role in minimising risks - so if you have a concern please speak up, if you feel unwell or unable to continue tell the leader.
Lowland Walks
These walks will follow paths, trails and lanes that are clearly visible on both the ground and the map (with the exception of very minor alterations). The risk on these walks is low - but traffic, waterways and other hazards may still be encountered.
Participants are required to read the walk description and kit list and may not be allowed to take part on the walk if they do not have suitable clothing or footwear.
