Venue: Varies

The Strollers meet every Tuesday morning, usually at 10am, at a different place each week. We do a variety of short, flat walks with no styles and usually no more than 1.5 miles. People can turn back when they have had enough. There is no compulsion to do more than you want to.

Sometimes we split the group and some people return to the starting point while others go on further. An example of this is The Dyserth Prestatyn Walkway where some return after 1/2 to 3/4 of a mile and others continue through to Prestatyn, a distance of 2.6 miles and get the bus back or even straight home if they have arrived by bus.

11 strollers met at Brickfield Pond for a walk around this small nature reserve in Rhyl. We saw lots of different waterfowl including mallard, coots, tufted ducks, great crested grebe, moorhens, swans, a cormorant, black headed gulls and herring gulls.

Strollers met at Coed Morfa, Prestatyn, for a walk around this lovely woodland. The leaves had turned to vibrant autumn colours which carpeted the area. On our way round we saw a pair of swans, lots of mallard, a few moorhens and about 8 Belted Galloway Cattle, the latter grazing on the newly acquired area.
