Braf cael croesawu rhai oโ€™n cydweithwyr o Gymdeithas y Beibl iโ€™r ganolfan heddiw wrth iddynt dreulio ychydig o ddyddiau yn y Bala.

It was great to welcome some of our Bible Society colleagues at the centre today as part of their time in Bala this week.

If you're looking for a challenge, how about the Mary Jones Walk? A 28-mile journey from Llanfihangel y Pennant to Bala, with stunning views of Meirionnydd along the way.

Recently, a launch was held for the Mary Jones Walk book, which would be an essential guide to have with you while walking it. Weโ€™re also in an exciting period as we work with a local signage company to install new information boards along the route. These will act as milestones along the way and will complement the booklet.

We would love to hear from you if you have completed the Mary Jones Walk or are planning to walk itโ€”and donโ€™t forget to finish the journey at the centre with a well-deserved coffee in the cafรฉ!

The link for the PDF version of the booklet is below.

Cafwyd noson arbennig iawn heno yn lansiad llyfr Mary Jones. Cafwyd sgwrs hynod o ddifyr rhwng Mary Thomas ac Alun Puw wrth iddynt drafod yr hanes sut oedd Mary ati i lunioโ€™r daith. Diolch i bawb gymerodd ran yn ystod y noson - y rhai gymerodd rhan ac i bawb wnaeth gynorthwyodd yn y cefndir.

Diolch arbennig i Mary Thomas am ei holl waith mae wedi gwneud ac yn parhau i wneud i gadw hanes Mary Jones yn fyw ac i alluogi eraill i ddilyn รดl ei throed.

Mae llyfr ar gael oโ€™r ganolfan, y caffi a drwy wefan Cymdeithas y Beibl.

The book launch of the Mary Jones Walk Guide tonight was a very special evening. The conversation between Mary Thomas and Alun Puw was amazing and insightful as they discussed the story of how Mary went about creating the route. Thanks to everyone who took part during the eveningโ€”those who contributed and everyone who helped behind the scenes.

Special thanks to Mary Thomas for all the work she has done and continues to do to keep the story of Mary Jones alive and to enable others to follow in her footsteps.

The book is available from the centre, the cafรฉ, and via the Bible Society website.
