2002 Summer Walk Welsh Peaks

2002 Summer Charity Walk in the Welsh Peaks in Aid of the West Cumbria Alzheimers Society


Every year the Rotary Club of West Lakeland undertake a sponsored event for charity which also, bearing in mind the requirement to have fun, allows the club and partners to enjoy a few days together. Therefore on Friday 5th July 2002 about 30 members and guests of the Rotary Club of West Lakeland went to Wales on the clubs annual sponsored event. Organised this year by Vice p Terry Dixon and his wife Eileen.

 

Leaving early on the Friday the coach arrived at a layby somewhere in darkest Wales and the club disembarked to start the adventure with the notorious Crib Goch, this was wreathed in mist much to the relief of the vertigo sufferers. This was followed by Carnedd Ugain, Yr Wydda, Snowdon and the bar of the Royal Victoria Hotel, Llanberis where we heard the notable comment
