Mr Gregory and myself would like to wish everyone all the best over the festive season. To those who have stayed at Beudy over the last twelve months, thank you – we hope you have enjoyed your stay. To those who haven’t stayed (either this year, or at all), you’re missing out on the best hut in North Wales, situated in the heart of Eryri. Just a reminder of what the hut has to offer – 17 bunks in two upstairs heated dorms, with an extra 3 sleeping spaces in the lounge, two woodburning stoves, comfy lounge, fully equipped kitchen, washroom, drying room, showers and toilets. Camping available on the lawn and ample space for campervans. Families are welcome. Within walking distance of the best climbing and hillwalking in the area (and not too far from Tremadog, Gogarth and the North Wales limestone crags), what more do you want? Ah – maybe the internet. We have made enquiries of the company that supplies wifi to the three Climbers Club huts (two in the Pass, the other in Ogwen). It is possible, and we will be starting the process in the New Year to obtain Committee approval.
Just to remind you, the hut is completely empty over Christmas and New Year, the first booking being Gareth Llewellyn’s Meet on the weekend of 17th-19th January. As ever, just let me know if you’re going.
I have posted a version of this comment on Facebook, so, apologies for repeating myself: on the subject of internet and, especially, keyless door entry (mooted on the FB post), could you please consider the fact that not everyone owns a smart phone and, furthermore, not everyone wants to own a smart phone (contrary to popular belief, life can go on without one). I would be very concerned if not owning one of those infernal contraptions would in the future prevent me from gaining entry to the hut(s), Sam (aka ‘That dinosaur in Cornwall’!)
