Hi Everyone

Just under three weeks to go before we gather at the Mid-Point of Wales and here are some more details.

 We now have the use of the chapel in the centre of Cwmystwyth village from 10 am to 4 pm. This will be primarily for those who are not going up to the actual mid-point, but will also serve as a base for everyone.

 I envisage that the chapel meeting will be similar to that taking place at the mid-point.

 From 10 am   Refreshments

10.30 am   Briefing and prayer.

11 am. Walkers will set out.    

Maps will be available.

 As there are no shops in Cwmystwyth you will need to bring your own lunch etc. Cars can be parked opposite the chapel, either up the lane or on the ‘main’ road.

 Suitable Clothing & Footwear: For those who have not had previous information the route is up an easy incline  and should take 45 min – 1 hour.  The footpath is bumpy in parts but can get quite muddy or boggy after heavy rain.

 There will also be an opportunity to make a donation to the farmer’s favourite charity, Ty Gobaith (children’s hospice) as, towards the end of the walk, we will be gathering on his land.

If you are able to blow or bring a shofar we would be grateful if you could let us know beforehand.

 We look forward to seeing as many of you as possible.

 Blessings
