Route

Those in the hostel will be staying at https://www.snowdoniamountainhostel.com/, which we have booked for exclusive use. If you prefer you can make your own arrangements to stay at a local B&B/Hotel/Campervan and meet us for the walks. The group accommodation has good cooking facilities so we could prepare a group or individual meals. There are also of course options to go out to eat or get take away meals for the local town

There will be 3 full days of walking and a short route on the journey on Thurs. The walks will be led and some may involve a small amount of scrambling. i.e. the day would be mainly spent walking, but there would be short scrambles joining the sections of walk. This however does mean that all the people on the walk would need to be happy undertaking a grade 1 scramble; anybody who has done Crib Goch or any route up Tryfan (other than South Ridge Path) would not have a problem.
If you are unsure of your ability, please drop me an email and I can advise. As most of you are aware Colin is a qualified Mountain Leader and will be able to help anybody who is struggling to get up a particular slope

General Notes

The trip will be open to all Dorset LDWA Primary Members. The Committee has agreed that some subsidy will be provided for members. If there is space other people who regularly walk with the group may be invited, they will not however receive the subsidy
