Snowdonia Weekend Trip

17 May - 19 May (end 4th week)

Area: Snowdonia

Snowdonia is a destination not to be missed by any avid walker. During Trinity Term this year, we will set out to explore some of the mountains known as the biggest and boldest of England and Wales.
We will be based in the Oxford Mountaineering Club bunkhouse situated in Snowdonia and will attempt, weather permitting, two longer hikes during the weekend. We will plan our routes together in the evenings in order to make sure everyone will find the trip challenging and enjoyable at the same time.
The cost includes: accommodation, transport and meals, except for Friday and Sunday evening. Bring money for these two meals, which will be taken in a pub or at services along our way. You may also like to bring some money for if we go to the pub on Saturday evening.

Equipment:

Even though it’s May it may be extremely wet, cold and windy, so you must come prepared for bad weather. You must have (1) a pair of well worn-in walking boots with ankle support, (2) a waterproof jacket and trousers, (3) warm clothing, (4) hat, (5) gloves, and (6) a change of clothing. You can borrow waterproofs from the club.
If you arrive for the trip without the right gear, we will have to turn you away from the trip, sadly, for your safety and that of the group. If you have any questions about equipment, please ask us.
Extra Equipment: You will need: a sleeping bag (the club has some sleeping bags which you can borrow)
Please read the club’s “Equipment List” carefully and then complete and sign the “Participation Statement” to confirm that you are happy with it. This should be pidged to Joseph Delo (Magdalen College) before the trip.
