January | January | January | January | January | 1 - Craigallan Winter Climbing
All day 01/02/2025-02/02/2025 Co-ordinator: Rob McGuiness Winter seems to have got off to a better start than the rest of the seasons this year, so what better time than to put your name down for a late Jan early Feb winter climbing meet? It definitely won’t all melt, have a little faith baby, believe in those clickbait internet news articles from the likes of The Express that regularly assure us of a cold, snowy winter with absolutely no scientific basis whatsoever! Hell they’ve got to be right some of the time eh? You don’t have to go winter climbing; you can walk, run, ride, canoe (something that regularly seems a better weather odds activity, I know) or bravely go all Wim Hof and do a bit of skinny dipping in the Ogin if that’s your thing. Just be back for a hearty evening meal. Let me know of your veggie or other dietary requirements and I’ll do my best not to offend your palette.

| 13 | 14 - Beudy Mawr Running Meet
All day 14/02/2025-16/02/2025 Co-ordinator: Dan Calverley In reality more of a do-as-you-please meet, all welcome! If there are any takers for a run, I’m happy to suggest and lead a route of about 7 hours on Saturday at an easy pace. Some attendees have already indicated a preference to hike – so that’s an option too. If the weather is fine, I might even bring my gravel bike and do the Bwlch Maes Gwm / Snowdon Ranger loop on Sunday; if the weather is more wintery, then another shorter run or a hike/scramble. I’ll prepare a communal meal for Saturday night, which will be veggie and gluten free. Let me know by the Tuesday before if you want in! Contact as per 2025 Handbook or: outdoormeets@rucksackclub.org

We’ve booked one bungalow at the campsite; there are currently three more available to book, each sleeping 4 in a double and a bunk room. There is also space for tents and vans. It is a great site where the owners are friendly, we’ve been able to socialise in the unused bar/restaurant space above reception and there is a bar in the village. Book by email (they speak good English) and mention the Rucksack Club. Ivan and Mari will offer you a discounted rate of 420 Euros for the week for a bungalow.
