North Wales Trip!
Come and join us on the second trip of the term to North Wales, arguably the best climbing destination in the UK, if not the world. With quality climbing of all disciplines, there will be something for everyone on this trip, no matter your level of experience.
We will be staying in Caseg Fraith hut (with beds!!), in the Ogwen valley with both trad and bouldering crags right on our doorstep.
Ticket release: Drivers tickets will go on sale at 6pm on Monday the 10th of March for £40. Non-drivers’ ticket will go on sale at 6pm on Thursday the 13th of March for £50
You must be a UBMC member to buy a ticket
Tickets will include accommodation, breakfast on both days, a big dinner on Saturday as well as travel and any of the equipment you might need. Driver’s fuel will be reimbursed as per usual.
What to bring: Sleeping bag and mat (we have some spare), warm layers and waterproofs, sturdy shoes and any climbing gear you might have. It’s important to note that we are not staying within walking distance of a shop, so make sure to bring plenty of snacks and lunches for those long crag days!
Whilst the climbing in North Wales might be top notch, it does not boast such great weather on occasion, and so please make sure to bring waterproofs. If the rain does decide to come in, there’s plenty of dry climbing on the coasts, as well as beautiful walks/scrambles around the valleys, and a very nice climbing shop in Llanberis…
Here’s some crags to get you excited, albeit a very short list. We hope to see lots of you there!
