Bikes and hikes at Dare Valley

Posted on January 9th, 2008 filed in Local News, Rhondda Cynon Taff

Want to get out and get more active in 2008? Then come along to Dare Valley Country Park, Aberdare, on Wednesday, January 23, where there will be guided cycle rides and walks for all ages and abilities – with bikes provided free of charge – from 10am-1pm.

Activities lined up include :

· A guided bike ride to Cwmaman along the old tramway – six and a half miles there and back along the flat – which will take up to an hour and a half.

· Short bike rides around the lake, with people on hand to help those who haven’t been on a bike for some time and would like to try again. Go around once, or as many times as you like.

· A walk of about a mile and a half around the park with an experienced ranger who can tell you all about the history and natural features in the park. This will take up to an hour – and you can have a go on a bike afterwards!

There will be a warming bowl of soup and a roll provided in the cafe between 12 and 1pm for everyone who has taken part. If weather conditions are bad, please come along anyway to find out about forthcoming outdoor activities. Participants will also get a chance to have their say about the type of outdoor activities they would like to join in their area.
