Mountaineering Meets

Mar

North Wales @ Capel Curig, North Wales

Tickets

Mar 6 – Mar 9 all-day

This Annual trip to the snow clad mountains of North Wales (hopefully) will allow any RoCs member to experience some easy winter-ish mountaineering challenges without having to travel up to Scotland. The trip is a bit later than usual to allow the use of the hut in Capel Curig.

We have now booked the Barn hut at Capel Curig from Thursday 6th March to Sunday 9th March. If you wish to go on a winter hut based meet please say yes so I can add you to the list. The cost is £10 per person per night. There are bunks in several rooms so all you need to take is a sleeping bag & pillow plus all your personal gear, and any food & drink for breakfast & lunch. We can eat in the pub and/or cook in the hut, to be decided nearer the time. Can each person bring up a small bag of wood for the stove as it may be a bit chilly.

Bring with you suitable winter warm and waterproof clothing, a decent pair of mountaineering boots, (crampons and a walking axe are optional in case we get that rare thing called snow). Quite often the snow does not settle (or even arrive) so then it can be a bit wet and wild. Be prepared and bring waterproof trousers and jacket and a set of dry clothes for walking and to walk to the pub in the evening.

Patrick and I will go up Thursday morning and return Sunday afternoon. We may well decide to camp nearby, if it is not too bad weather wise. Travel plans will be confirmed nearer the time depending on who is attending. Post on the Facebook Events page if you are interested in joining the winter crew on this mad adventure full of fun, possibly some winter mountaineering and more than likely a good time in the pub and in the hut.
