Previous Anglesey Walking Weekends were praised by participants for the organisation and facilities and we are once again pleased to announce the organisation of the Anglesey Walking Weekend. This provides an excellent opportunity to explore Anglesey and North Wales.
Accommodation is a bunkhouse with full board in a coastal part of Anglesey near Holyhead. This provides an excellent base to explore the countryside around North Wales.
A number of breathtaking rambles are planned, giving the opportunity to explore the Isle. The terrain and weather is varied so please bring walking boots and clothing layers to cope with a rainy summer.

Another update from Paul Catterwell, WASH 2013 Bookings Officer
Hi all
Only 22 days to WASH!!!!
With the pledges we have and bookings already in we are only 3 short of last year! If you are thinking it’s too late to book – IT ISN’T
Sunday daytime is now confirmed. Sunday is Remembrance Day and anyone who wishes to join us at the short service at the memorial in Hunstanton is very welcome.
Upon our return from paying our respects, don your leggings and baggy T-shirts for a spot of Fitness Yoga. Don’t ask me what this entails, but I am told it won’t kill us!
Once first aid and oxygen has been administered, there will be the WASH Quiz, produced and hosted by the Manor Park Entertainments Team
More to follow…

This from Paul Catterwell, WASH 2013 Booking Officer.
Hi guys
Only 36 days to go to WASH 30. Come and join the spectacular weekend we have planned
We had a meeting at Manor Park last night and were amazed to see that beer prices are DOWN!!! They are also doing loads of 2 for 1 meal deals and a rather rather cheeky burger and a pint for £5.50.
The themes are: T-shirts with slogans on Friday night, posh frocks and suited and booted for the casino on Saturday afternoon and 80’s for Saturday night.
Numbers are amazing this year and we may well ve up on the last 2 years. With the extra bodies we are ;looking at booking an extra act for Saturday evening.
Never too late to book – we have taken bookings on the night before!
