Long weekend away based at a cottage in the village of Rhyd-Ddu on the Western side of Snowdonia. Snowdon itself via the Rhyd-Ddu path is on our doorstep along with the Welsh Highland Railway. The long weekend will run from Friday to Monday and will be co-led between myself and Andy Lock so plenty of options of walks and activities will be available. There will be walks led by either Andy or myself on each of the days possibly including an ascent of Snowdon and an exploratory linear walk in Western Snowdonia. Also there will be the additional option to enter any of the events that are occurring over the weekend in nearby Llanberis: For swimmers on the Saturday morning there is the Big Welsh Swim occurring at Llyn Padarn lake - http://loveswimrun.co.uk/thebigwelshswim/. I have already entered this and can provide transport to the start. For runners on the Sunday there is the Snowdonia trail 10km, Half Marathon and Marathon - http://alwaysaimhighevents.com/snowdonia-trail-marathon/welcome-snowdonia-trail-marathon-2019. You may need to make your own way there if entering. You will need to organise your own entry to these events and you undertake them at your own risk as specified in the event details on the respective websites. The accommodation is a large cottage with 2 doubles, a triple and a twin. We therefore have the option to accommodate 9 in total if the mix is suitable however at present I have set registration to 7. There is also additional accommodation if there is sufficient interest. The cost for the 3 nights will approximately be between £75 and £95 per person however this depends on final numbers. I will provide further information about the weekend upon registration, also you may wish to stay longer in the area and there are a number of options but you will need to book this yourself.
