Edge of the Carneddau -Welsh Mountain Weekend

The Carneddau is a range of mountains on the edge of the Snowdonia National Park and is the largest contiguous areas of high ground in Wales and England. Rowen YHA is nestled on the hillside beneath these peaks and this weekend is a great opportunity to experience a typical hostel event with OutdoorLads and to explore this stunning area during the summer months.

On the Friday night we have a buffet dinner, settle into the hostel and get to know our fellow "ODLers".  

On Saturday there will be at least one local walk/activity on offer - depending on the abilities and desires of the group and the availability of leaders. This could include a mountainous walk (for which we might need to catch a bus or use our cars) into the wilderness on our doorstep. Alternatively, there are gentler options such as Tal Y Fan Mountain, which is accessible to any mountain bikers who may wish to come to event. The event Leader will publish more details closer to the day.

On Saturday night there will be food and fun... we might have a theme for the night or a few party games. Details to follow.

On Sunday we will pack up, clean the hostel and then, after breakfast, head out for another short wal  activity.  There are a number of local attractions to visit including Conwy Castle, Conwy Water Gardens or even some surfing at the nearby Surf Snowdonia.
