Base camp will be off the beaten track in Llanbedr, near Harlech which provides excellent access to the Rhinog hills as well as being a short drive from both Cnicht and Cadair Idris. We hope to offer some wild camping (i.e. sleeping out on the hills) for those who fancy it but this will very much depend on interest.
Experienced, authorised adults will be in charge of each walking group (4–8 people) and the informal training will include walking skills, route planning, route choice, navigation, leadership and teamwork. The weekend typically provides a full day in the hills on Saturday and a half-day on Sunday, starting the homeward journey at around 14.00.
This is a self-catering and camping trip. As well as an evening meal and two breakfasts, packed lunches will need to be provided by the participants, as well as food (or money) for the two journeys. The minibuses will stop during each journey at motorway service areas but there are no shops in the valley. Applicants must also provide suitable tents, sleeping and cooking facilities for a valley camp. SUGGESTED KIT LIST
Map required is OL18 Harlech, Porthmadog & Bala
