Save Our Cardiff Reservoirs Walk - Saturday 7th July 2012

Dear Reservoir Supporter

Following the success of the first 'Save Our Cardiff Reservoirs Walk' last September its planned to repeat the event on Saturday 7th July, starting at Pontcanna Scount Hall. With regards the event if you are able to volunteer and help out even for an hour then that would be great – there are lots of tasks to do on the day from checking people in at the Scout Hall to helping on Checkpoints.


If you want to take part and walk there is a choice of five routes:


· Gold Route: across to Roath Park then along the Green Corridor (which includes the Cardiff reservoirs) to Caerphilly Mountain. From there they will go over the ridgeway to the Garth Mountain and back to Pontcanna on the Taff Trail. This is a circular walk of about 21 miles and 2000 feet of ascent.


· Silver Route: This is a circular walk of about 17 miles and 1000 foot of ascent. It follows the Gold Route to the summit of Caerphilly Mountain then descends to the Taff Trail back to Pontcanna.


· Bronze Route: This is a linear walk of about 12 miles. A bus will take walkers from Pontcanna to Taffs Well. Walkers then go to the summit of Caerphilly Mountain then along the Green Corridor to Roath park and back to Pontcanna.


· Copper Route: This is a linear walk of about 6 miles. A bus will take walkers from Pontcanna to Cefn Onn Park in Lisvane. Walkers then go along the Green Corridor to Roath park and back to Pontcanna.


· Zinc Route: This is a circular walk of about 3 miles. From Pontcanna the walk goes towards Llanadaff on the west side of the Taff then returns along the east side of the river. and back to Pontcanna.


On completing their selected route each walker is given a Certificate and refreshments.
