Here the route crosses over the river bridge, leaving Glyndwr's Way for the return section which initially joins the Ann Griffith's Walk, and then re-joins Glyndwr's Way  and finally arriving back in Dolonog.  The walk includes one steep section on the return part of the journey along Ann Griffith's way from Pontrobert.The route may need to be slightly adapted following the the final recce during the week prior to the walk taking place. Please bring lunch and snacks  for the 2  stops we will take.
