Coastal path south of Aberystwyth. The T5 and T1 buses run alternately on Sundays so there's an hourly bus back to Aberystwyth. If we get the bus back from Llanrhystud it would 10+ miles or from Llanon 13 miles or there's a footpath from the coast path to the A487 inbetween the villages and a bus stop for an 11+ mile walk so we can be back in Shrewsbury 6 PM if we go for the shortest option. To be decided on the day, depending on weather etc.
Distance: 11-13 miles

Most walks are for a full day of 6 to 8 hours, and are graded as follows:
C - walks that, while often involving mountains, are usually on obvious footpaths and with moderate gradients. This grade also covers lowland walks, and would not normally exceed 12 miles.
B - Mountain or moorland walks which don't include scrambles.
A - Any walk including a scramble.
For Sunday walks, we meet at north side of Abbey Foregate, Shrewsbury (200 m beyond the Peach Tree), at times shown above. We'll see how many cars are required, and who's happy to drive, then travel to the walk start. People wishing to meet at the walk start may do so if agreed with the walk leader.
