Bala Lake Challenge
Good luck to our 14 supporters taking on this challenge
at the weekend!
- When: Saturday 12 May 2012
- Where: Bala, Gwynedd
- Distance: 7, 8, 14 or 20 miles
Organised by the Rotary
Club of Bala and Penllyn, the Bala Challenge is a series of
walks around Bala Lake / Llyn Tegid - the largest natural lake in
Wales.
Starting at Bala on the north side of the lake, you will climb
the surrounding hills, with views of the lake and the Arenig
mountain range. Open moorland, forestry, tracks and roads - the
Bala Challenge has it all.
20 supporters took to the shores of Bala Lake in May 2011. A
fantastic £700 was raised to help fund our vital work in Wales.
Stephanie Streat, who has Parkinson's, and her husband Martin completed
the 8-mile course in 4 and a half hours.
