edited to add - I’ve just noticed the poster doesn’t say where Caffi Kiki is - it’s in Blaenau Ffestiniog.

North Wales based group Anelu - Aim Higher is running guided walks for learners to practice their Welsh!

https://www.northwaleschronicle.co.uk/news/17711599.welsh-learners-and-speakers-take-to-the-hills-to-boost-use-of-the-welsh-language/?ref=fbshr&fbclid=IwAR3Uz-pHjzODiSQdU_AifSKOkng9Suu8GR8WG8ilGps9JwchNIvChEZMqNA

Ifan says that they had a good number of Welsh learners joining them for the last walk, but they’re a bit short for the next couple. They have some first language Welsh speakers ready and willing to chat with learners and give them support during the walk, so it’s a great opportunity.

They’re particularly keen to get a few more people to the walk starting from Tanygrisiau on 8th July, so not long to go. It starts at 10:00 in Tanygrisiau and you walk to Croesor. It costs £5 which includes the cost of the minibus returning you to Tanygrisiau after a cuppa and cake in Caffi Croesor.

[Deborah-SSi]

The walk after that is on the 10th July, from Bethesda to Llanberis. This one also costs £5 including the bus to take you back to Bethesda. The walk is 7 miles and should take 5 to 6 hours, so you need to have some experience of walking in that kind of terrain.

On the first Friday of every month, Clwb Ymarfer meets in Tywyn between 10:30 and noon at the Magic Lantern Cinema (Y Llusern Hud) to chat in Welsh over tea and coffee. The next session will be July 5th. Suggested donation: £2.50. Gobeithio eich gweld chi yno!

Diolch! I’m planning on going to the Paned a Sgwrs bore 'fory. If any other ssiw-wrs are going, say hi. I’ll be the one who looks and sounds extremely American.
