Tryfan...or something else

This is both a training weekend for 2025's Welsh 3000's challenge and an opportunity for new people to join us and see what we're about. As a group we average a 50:50 male-female split and aspire to be as inclusive as possible.

The main focus will be Tryfan...or something else depending upon who has done what as well as the Welsh weather.

The outline plan is:

• Car share where possible and meet in a suitable hostelry on the Friday evening (if we get there before they close!)
• Saturday: Tryfan and the Glyders
• Saturday evening: Someone will make a delicious homecooked meal, which will cater to most dietary requirements. Other people will wash up etc.
• Sunday: a shorter walk followed by lunch back at the hut. Everybody joins in cleaning the bunkhouse and then we go home

We will be staying in a bunkhouse close to Deiniolin (tbc).

The cost for the weekend is £85.18 comprising a RSVP fee of £25 through Meet up (plus PayPal fee of £2.18) plus £60 one month before the event. This will cover:

• Shared accommodation in a bunkhouse so you need to bring a sleeping bag and pillow
• 2 breakfasts of porridge, berries and honey
• Evening meal
• Contribution to group costs such as Meetup fees, insurance, group box with tea, coffee and other stuff, equipment, recces, first aid training etc.

We want this to be as inclusive as possible and that means keeping costs down, hence why we stay in a bunkhouse and have shared meals. The shared meals are also great for bonding and learning more about the group/each other.

The weekend will be led by Phil who is a fully qualified and experienced Mountain Leader who runs the weekends/group to Outdoor Industry standards. Phil is also a qualified Outdoor First Aider. Phil is not paid a wage to do this and this is a 'not for profit' group.
