North Wales Weekend Trip 16th-18th June

Tickets go live at 8:30 AM on wednesday the 31st. 

So we're running a weekend trip from the 16th to the 18th of June, to North Wales, to sample some of the best rock climbing in the UK. We're staying at the Chamois Mountaineering Hut , which is a short drive from Llanberis' slate quarries (such as Australia), and loads of rhyolite mountain crags, such as the Cromlech or Cloggy, so there's loads of amazing climbing options. We'll tailor the crag choice to your experience level and abilities, so all are welcome.

There are several different tickets available for this trip. Passengers pay £44.56 whilst drivers pay £37.87. If you plan on being a 'Free Agent' (accomodation & food only), this will cost £27.50. The price of tickets may change slightly before they go live but this is what we're expecting them to cost at present. See further details on the tickets themselves.

As per as all LUMC trips, Food will be provided over the weekend, with veggie evening meals on the Friday and Saturday nights, alongside basic breakfast and lunch materials to make sandwiches etc. As such, it may be worth bringing some of your favourite snacks of choice to eat when out on the hill (but you'd equally be fine without). If you have any dietary requirements please put it on your info form

We aim to be an accesible, inclusive and welcoming society, so if there's anything we can do to help supporrt you over the weekend please let us know! We'll host a pre-trip info meeting in Fylde LT2 at 7pm Wed 14th,  which will be a good oppurtunity to finalise Friday cars, meet people coming on the trip, ask any questions you might have, and start making some climbing plans. It also helps us reduce chaos on the trip, so please come along!

The hut sleeps 43 across several dorms; so at least one of them will be an allocated quiet space for those of you intent on sleeping / wanting an escape from it all. If you want a space in one of these, say so on the info form.
 

You'll need to bring or borrow:

  • Waterproof Coat and Trousers (expect it to be wet!)
  • Shorts and warm-weather clothes (expect it to be hot!)
  • Hiking Boots or Approach shoes
  • Plenty of outdoorsy layers (not jeans); spare layers a good idea.
  • Headtorch (+ batteries!)
  • Water Bottle (1L+) 
  • Toiletries, towel etc.
  • Sleeping bag
  • Any climbing gear you own (ie. Shoes, Harness, Helmet etc.); see the info form.
  • Rucksack to carry your kit to the crag.

If you don't have access to any of these items, speak to us at the pre-trip meeting and we'll sort you out. Even in Summer, heading into the hills ill-equipped is a spectacularly bad idea and can end badly, so if you come onto the trip without having organised to borrow something you need, we may have to leave you in the hut for the day. Normal climbing kit can be borrowed via the info form.
