Background
Following the hugely successful celebration of the Wales Air
Ambulance tenth anniversary at Gŵyl Gobaith Music Festival in 2011,
Rhys Meirion, the international Opera star and member of iconic
welsh trio, The Three Welsh Tenors, is the Ambassador for the Wales
Air Ambulance this year.
As part of his support for the Air Ambulance during the year, Rhys
is determined to bring his friends together to raise significant
money and awareness and particularly to support the 'Leap into
Action' appeal for the new helicopter to be based at Welshpool
Airport.
Over
the past three years Rhys has played his part in establishing a
Music Festival in Northop, Flintshire, called The Gŵyl Gobaith
Music Festival and The Wales Air Ambulance was one of the charities
that was supported last year, nominated by one of the Main
Sponsors, Wind Power Wales. The Festival will be held this year on
August 24th to the 27th and The Wales Air Ambulance will be one of
the charities being supported.
The Walk
The 200 mile walk will be completed over eight days. The project
will be launched with a gala dinner at the Liberty Stadium in
Swansea on Thursday, August 16th, and the walk will commence at
Swansea Airport at 8am on Friday August the 17th.
The route will take us up the Neath Valley, Storey Arms, Brecon,
Builth, Newtown and Welshpool Airport. From there we will travel
via Dinas Mawddwy, Dolgellau, Porthmadog and finishing in
Caernarfon Airport.
Evening Entertainment
The walk will have eight overnight stops at some of Wales' most
iconic hotels and there will be entertainment and fundraising
activities at each evening stop. We will be joined by some of
Wales's top musical acts and some international stars too - have a
look at the events section for the details.
The Walkers
Rhys will be joined by a number of family, friends and
colleagues who will walk the whole 200 miles. Some celebrities and
guest walkers will be with us for sections of the walk, and members
of the public are welcome to join us for a number of designated
off-road sections.
