3 Nights at Trefeglwys Hostel 26 to 29/08/2022

 11 members stayed at a 300 year old Timber framed hostel at Trefeglwys in Powys. We had excellent sunny warm bank holiday weather. We walked every day and unfortunately  had to modify routes due to too many footpaths missing and closures but also new ones not on the OS. We ate out Saturday and Sunday evenings at pubs at Lladidloes.

There were too many complaints about the accommodation. It was dirty, too many insects, arachnids and mouse shit. The wood burner and fireplace were unusable (nest in the flue). Despite all this we all got on and had the best time that we could.
