Climbing trip to North Wales

Depending on weather there’s Slate, mountain crags, winter routes and endless walking/scrambling possibilities.

We’re booked in to the Bowline MC club hut in Dinorwig Mill Cottage, close to Llanberis with its selection of pubs and facilities/shops and really convenient for the slate quarries. It’s a nice hut, and sleeps 12 so if more than that want to come we’ll have to try camping (there are spaces outside the hut). The cost will be £10 per person per night, including all the heating costs etc, and use of the fully equipped kitchen.
