Event Description

Join us for our annual adventure to Snowdonia for a weekend of hiking, stunning Welsh views and plenty of fun!

The trip runs over the weekend of Week 6 from Friday 13th Nov to Sunday 15th meeting on the Friday afternoon and arriving back Sunday evening.

On Friday afternoon we'll meet at Cannon Park Shopping Centre before driving to our accommodation for the weekend (Cornel Scout Centre, Crafnant Rd, Trefriw LL27 0JZ) where we'll settle in and spend the night ready for an early start the next morning.

On Saturday we'll set off to trek up Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa), taking in the incredible mountain views along the way.  Don't worry if you're out of breath walking to Tesco from campus or if you have climbed Everest, Yr Wyddfa lends itself well to cater to all levels of ability.  After a challenging but rewarding day on the moutain, we'll head back for a well-earned, warm group meal: the legendary DofE Chilli!

Finally we get to the last day of our trip, after a good night's rest we begin the day splitting into two groups: those of you who are up for more hiking and eager to get back on the trails will get the opportunity to do so, doing some nice hikes and potentially some waterfall spotting, those of you who had their fill going up Snowdon and would rather a more relaxed day will get the option to go sightseeing and explore some of the nearby towns and enjoy the scenery.

Both groups will meet back at Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch, the Welsh village famous for having Europe's longest place name, before we begin the journey home (ending back at Cannon Park), stopping off at a pub for one final meal together.

If you want to join us, buy at ticket when they're out and head over to the Snowdon channel in our WhatsApp group for more information, updates and answers to any questions you might have.

Whether you're a seasoned hiker or just up for a weekend of adventure with the society, we'd love to have you along.  Bring your walking boots, your sense of adventure and your appetite for chilli!
