    This will be more of a hut meet than solely a climbing meet. So whatever you’re into, please
    enjoy what North Wales has to offer and enjoy one of the best huts in the Principality. (I might be a
    little biased.)

    bookings so you just need to turn up! If you are planning to come then please let me know via email
    (details in the handbook). There are adventures for all in the local area, from trail running to
    4000m peaks. It’d be great to get this classic Club Meet back up and running with a good turnout!
