Y mis diwethaf aeth 34 aelod o Lanelli Ramblers i Cumbria i gwblhau’r Dales Way ar ôl eu taith gyntaf ym mis Mai.

Er gwaethaf y tywydd gwlyb a gwyntog, gwnaethon nhw gerdded o draphont Ribblehead i Bowness-on-Windermere, diwedd y llwybr. 🥾

Cafodd bawb amser gwych, er gwaethaf y tywydd gwael! 🌧️

A group of ramblers walk away from the camera, waterproof hoods up. Green hills obscured by the mist.

Last month 34 members of Llanelli Ramblers travelled to Cumbria to complete the Dales Way after their first trip in May.

Braving wet and windy weather they walked from Ribblehead viaduct to Bowness-on-Windermere, where the trail ends.

A great time was had by all, despite the inclement weather!

Cafodd Heather a Liv amser gwych yn cwrdd â phrosiect RNIB Cymru Golwg Gwahanol ar Gymru i glywed am eu gwaith yn mynd i’r afael â’r rhwystrau sylweddol y mae pobl ddall ac sydd â golwg rhannol yn eu hwynebu wrth iddyn nhw yng nghefn gwlad prydferth Cymru.

Heather and Liv had a fab time meeting with the @rnibcymru.bsky.social project See Cymru Differently to hear about their work addressing the significant barriers blind and partially sighted people face in accessing our beautiful countryside.

We’re looking forward to working together in the future!
