North Wales walking club seeks volunteers for sight-loss walks

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 14 Nov, 06:08 · Archive

Clwb Cerdded Eryri Walking Club is recruiting volunteers to lead monthly walks for people with sight loss across North Wales.

Clwb Cerdded Eryri Walking Club, operating since 2007, is seeking volunteers to guide its monthly walks for people with sight loss across North Wales. The walks take place on the third Wednesday of each month and are organised from the North Wales Society of the Blind's offices in Bangor. Routes cover trails across Ynys Môn, Gwynedd, and Conwy, with free coach transport provided to the walking location.

Each walk is carefully planned and can be up to five miles long. On average, 20 to 30 people participate, including walkers with sight loss, volunteer guides, and guide dogs. The club stressed that volunteers do not need to be experienced hikers. A spokesperson said: 'If you enjoy walking, meeting people, and helping others, this could be a rewarding opportunity to make a real difference in your community.'

For many people with sight loss, independent travel is challenging. The club's walks offer opportunities for social interaction, exercise, and connection with nature, all vital for physical and mental wellbeing.
