The Best of Both Worlds - The Two Lakes Trail
10 people attending
10 places left
A walk around two of the most spectacular lakes in North Wales, Llyn Alwen and Llyn Brenig
We will follow winding paths around Llyn Brenig and Llyn Alwen. We will be walking mostly on forest tracks so the surface isn't too unforgiving. This may be a long walk but the views, scenery, surroundings and of course, the wonderful company will make this an unforgettable day!
There are lakes, two of them and they're big! But there is also forest, greenery, wildlife, open countryside and escape. It's pretty much everything you could wish for!
In total, the walk is around 14 miles and the course is mostly flat with some undulation
Well-behaved dogs are welcome. However, this is livestock country and you should know how to handle your pet around sheep, horses and cattle. This is also a long walk and you should be comfortable that your pet can manage the distance.
Both lakes are reservoirs and as such, swimming is not permitted in them

IMPORTANT! - Participation Statement
You MUST complete a Participation Statement, here, in addition to booking your event space before attending an OutdoorLads event. You only need to complete this Participation Statement once, not for each event you attend.
What to bring
It might be summer but check the conditions and if in doubt please bring a waterproof jacket and trousers. Conditions can change pretty fast around here and we'll be a long way from your car at times.
Suntan lotion is highly advisable along with a hat. I would recommend sunglasses also.
Walking boots are highly recommended not sandals or your work shoes. Shoes that you are comfortable walking 14 miles in would be best
You may want to bring a plastic bag or alternative to sit on for lunch. I can't guarantee benches or sofas.
Food & drink
Please bring a packed lunch and a drink. You may want to bring some snacks to keep you going on the route
Bring enough water to keep yourself hydrated on what could be a hot day
