Snowdonia walking weekend - Friday 25th to Sunday 27th November
The event
The trip takes place over the weekend of Friday 25th to Sunday 27th November. We will be staying in Hafod Scout Mountain Centre near Capel Curig in Snowdonia. The weekend offers you the opportunity to walk in some of the most beautiful hills and mountains in Wales with experienced leaders.
The trip has been running for many years and is open to all Scouts (over 13) and Explorer Scouts (including Young Leaders) in the District. It's a great chance to meet other people from around Bristol South, get away and have a relaxing and rewarding weekend.
We will put you in groups of 5 Explorer Scouts with 2 leaders. You can do as much or as little as you like - however, the more you put in, the more you will get out.
The programme
The adventure begins on Friday night. We will leave Bristol at 6:15pm and head north. Everyone must meet at Cheddar Grove with their kit. We will be travelling by minibus and have a trailer for all the food and equipment.
We expect to arrive at Hafod at about midnight. Supper will be available and then off to bed ready for an early start!
Our dedicated chefs will prepare a breakfast for you on Saturday that will be beyond your wildest dreams to start you off in the proper fashion. Your group will then be dropped at their start point for your day in the mountains.
After a great day on the hills, it's back to Hafod for a "home cooked" dinner before the evening entertainment begins.
After breakfast on Sunday morning, there will be a chance to explore the local surroundings, play games behind the hostel or brush up on some navigation skills. Lunch will be at about 1:00pm before we clean up, clear out and head back to Bristol
We usually get back at about 7:00pm
The cost
The cost is £50 for the weekend. Some groups offer a discount to their members so don't forget to check with your leader. Members of SuperNova will get a £5 discount.
The cost includes transport, food and accommodation for the whole of the weekend
What you need
Just a positive attitude! No experience is necessary as you will be walking with leaders who are used to area.
You will need to bring a sleeping bag, clothes to walk in (including waterproofs and good walking boots) and a small rucksack. Don't worry if you don't have everything, we have a stock of equipment and clothing we can lend out.
