Where is the president taking you this year?
We can finally reveal that he'll be taking you to the beautiful Dolgellau in South Snowdonia, an incredible part of Wales in which the club has spent far too little time. From YHA Kings, where we'll be staying, you will find beaches, lakes and big mountains within a 30-minute drive, and a beautiful ruined abbey within 15.
For climbers, Cadair Idris features the legendary Table Direct (VD ***) followed by the Cyfrwy Arete (3/D ***), rewarding challengers with dramatic views and exhilarating exposure.
Walkers have superb choice abounding, while the nearby Rhinogs offer multiple scrambling options to the walker seeking a little more technical thrill.
Our Saturday evening plans will feature a break from the traditional, with local Neapolitan-style pizza, salads and sides on offer. This satisfying mozzarella-laden feast will be followed by a thought-provoking (and hilarious) Rockhoppers Pub Quiz with, if there's time and it's dry, outside Rockhoppers Hide & Seek (the headtorch edition). Quiz prizes will be announced alongside our granting of the Rockhopper of the Year Award and commiseration prizes for the runners-up, and will all take place under the watchful eye of Penny the Penguin, our much-loved but a little creepy club mascot.
For what are you waiting? Sign-up for the best* party of the year before places go.
BYOB!
* Realistically the best party of the year will have been the 70th Anniversary Dinner in May, but we reckon this will be a very close second.
(If you want to bring your children to this event, please message the steward, Dan Oatley, so appropriate arrangements can be made.)
