    Club Hut, Deiniolen

    The traditional club trip to the hut over Easter. The plans are flexible, and weather dependent - climbing, scrambling, walking etc. On previous Easter meets there's even been some winter conditions.

    The hut will also be in need of some general maintenance activities - cleaning etc so all help will be welcome.

    Box Bay,

    Description

    This meet will be primarily a way to meet members of the club, either due to not climbing for the last year or to welcome new members!

    As usual we will be going to Box Bay. If you’ve never been before this is a great venue to try out trad climbing as there is easy access and the routes tend to be beginner friendly.

    The climbs are tidal but can be accessed at around 3 hours either side of low tide.

    For parking, the easiest place is Rest Bay pay and display car park. Head back along the coast line towards Porthcawl town centre and you should find the crag.

    Location

    Box Bay, Porthcawl

    Southgate National Trust car park

    The second meet and greet event of the year, or “turn up and tie on” as BMC like to call it.

    As tides aren't favourable the decided crag is Foxhole Cove, a non-tidal sport crag with a mix of grades.

    Meet time is 11am at the National Trust car park in Southgate and we’ll walk down together

    Location

    Foxhole Cove,  Gower

    Three Cliffs Bay, Gower

    Description

    A relaxing day’s climbing at a popular friendly venue

    The idea is to have a relaxed, sociable meet at a well-known venue with something for most climbers, including those with families

    Parking is at the National Trust carpark in Southgate (see the Wiki for directions). There is a conveniently located cafe next to the carpark for breakfast and/or post-climb cake and ice-cream.

    For those that want to make a weekend of it, there is a campsite overlooking Three Cliffs Bay (with an amazing breakfast view): www.threecliffsbay.com. It is popular, so those thinking of camping may need to book ahead. For those wishing to overnight in luxury, they even have glamping Shepard’s huts and yurts!
