After a few weeks away from the mountains, we will be back in one of the UK's most famous mountain areas, in Nant Peris at the base of Snowdon.
For walkers, there are the magnificent peaks, ridges and scrambles of Snowdon and the Glyders. The classic Snowdon Horseshoe can be accessed from just up the road at Pen-y-Pass, with the option of the iconic Grade I scramble Crib Goch for those with a head for heights. Or you could walk up one of the routes up the Glyders which begin from near the campsite; alternatively, other routes up Snowdon and the Glyders (from Ogwen Valley for Tryfan) are a short drive away.
For climbers, the Llanberis Pass has the highest concentration of classic routes in North Wales. The main attractions are the crags of Dinas Cromlech, Carreg Wastad and Dinas Mot, with loads of great routes from VD upwards. Or you could go to the high mountain walls of Clogwyn Du’r Arddu or Lliwedd. If you are in more of a mood for sport climbing, you will find bolted routes in the Dinorwic slate quarries. There is plenty of great scrambling around too.
If you are feeling especially fit, this meet is at the weekend with the longest days of the year, so ideal for tackling the "Welsh 3000s" challenge walk, starting at Pen-y-Pass.
We will be staying at Ty Isaf campsite in Nant Peris which is right opposite the Vanyol Arms and directions can be found on the website:

The cost is £10/night payable (cash) direct to the campsite. It is recommended you bring your own toilet paper, just in case.
WHATSAPP GROUP: We will set up a WhatsApp group of all meet participants, to use for keeping in touch on the trip and sharing virtual route cards. The trip organiser will set this up a few days before the meet. If you'd prefer to opt out, just contact the meet organiser (Simon).
