As is traditional, the club hut in North Wales has been reserved for the Easter weekend.  The plans are flexible, and weather dependent, but would hopefully include anything from walking and scrambling to climbing and mountaineering. You could even bring your bikes for a bit of on or off-road riding.

Any help would also be appreciated with hut cleaning and maintenance - we will almost certainly be doing a "spring" clean and several jobs have accumulated since the last hut maintenance trip.

As usual, check the message board for more information and to sign up.

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!

Box Bay 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.

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!
