Awesome Snowdonia Winter Weekend, 16/17 November 2012

[Little Miss Maria]

Once again I have booked Bryn Brethynau Climbing Barn in Snowdonia, at Pont Cyfyng on A5 between Capel Curig and Betws -y-Coed. This time for the weekend of 16/17 Nov 2012.

Details of the Climbing Barn can be found here.

Roll up, roll up, come and join the fun at the bargain price of only £10 for 2 nights stay. Billions of options for walking, for all abilities, Carneddau, Glyders, Snowdon â?? the World's our oyster!

If I decide not to do the 100 miler that weekend then I may pop over but I'll crash in the cottage up the hill as it's free for me, then come and blag food and whisky.

[Metric Kate]

Sorry, up in Snowdonia the previous weekend, and already booked for 18th

Sounds good LLM,

If I can I will, how soon do you need to know to book Barn?

Can you "camp" if not inside?

I'm not sure what way work may be then. Is it possible to just 'turn up' and camp?

I'd bring food and "water of life" if I can make it

[Kelvin]

There's no camping outside Paul - we get grief from the parks people. The hut can hold up the 30 people, which is way too many for the facilities but certainly feasible and allowed

There is however a great campsite just down the road, maybe half a mile and that's £6 a night. So there is a final solution if needed..

[huskyman]

Tnx Kelvin.

I'll try my best to make it.

PS. Does Barn have an Attic?

[orb]

I will join youif possible.I stayed there for five nights in May it's a cracking location .

[Nick the ex Mod]

Sign us up Little Miss

Surely i will be back on my feet by then

Hopefully i will not spend the whole weekend being very sick outside, (day and night), or leave my headtorch above my bunk

[Metric Kate]

lol, Nick! You really did look miserable at times!

Thanks Kelvin.... and I agree re the facilities, so for the comfort of all involved I have restricted this 'Meet' to 20 places only.... so roll up, roll up, get your name down.

I will confirm definite places nearer the time but spaces will be offered to those on the list in date order..... Ican confirmi have already paid the deposit and booked the barn as i have no doubt there will be at least 8 people including myself...... yay!

Just need to swap an on-call now!

[huskyman]

Does anyone know if there is a bus, train, from Liverpool,that goes near by?

That would be the way I'd be travelling from Belfast. Don't have a car and want to check prices to see what's cheapist.

Hire car or public transport.

[Mini Mal]

Is there no ferry to Holyhead from Belfast, Huskyman? If not, I may be able to swing by and pick you up from Scouse. It's the least I could do after the shenanagins in Eire

Mini Mal,

I think I'd have to go to Dublin for the Holyhead ferry.

One more option to think about.

I'll have to start searching for cheap fares.

Thanks for offer of lift, I'll let you know.

BTW. What Irish shennagins? You get upto something after we dropped you off?

[huskyman]

OK, looking at fares to get to Wales, my best option is to go to Dublin and get the ferry to Holyhead.

I need to check how I get to Chapel Curig from there. I'll get back and let you know.

Right I'm baffelled, can't find if I can get to Capel Curig from Holyhead.

The place names are in Welsh, and don't mention CC.

Would I have to travel to some place else to get to CC?

Can our Welsh OMer's help?

[Metric Kate]

That may be because it's Capel Curig, not Chapel!

[Mini Mal]

Huskyman, I was thinking of our automobile adventure

I can pick you up from Holyhead if you like. What time would your ferry get in?
