Gwern Gof Uchaf (camping next to Tryfan), 17th-18th Sept

[DavidPonting]

I missed the trip to Snowdonia/Eryri back in July, so the only logical thing to do is to repeat it... at this time of year, assuming we have good weather*, you can stand on the slopes of Y Garn and watch the sun rise along Llyn Ogwen, or stand outside your tent at night and watch the Milky Way soar over Tryfan, knowing that the next day you will be climbing on it, on some of the best mountain multipitch routes anywhere in the UK just a short walk from the campsite - or an epic scramble over the north ridge, or even a walk!

So. Gwern Gof Uchaf, the nights of the 17th-18th Sept**. We'll phone the campsite and try and book (they can be hard to reach, as a working farm) when we have a rough idea of numbers closer to the time, so get excited and get your name down now otherwise it might be too late. £7/night, pay in cash when we're there. https://www.tryfanwales.co.uk/

Usual COVID stuff applies - even though it's a camping meet, it would still be great if you could take a lateral flow test before coming (then obviously don't come if it's positive, you're showing symptoms, or you are legally required to self-isolate), do please get yourself vaccinated if you haven't already - which as well as protecting you and reducing transmission risk also now helps reduce the risk of having to miss out if you get contact traced, and please bring a mask since we might end up in a pub that might enforce them!
*weather not guaranteed...
**I can't actually make the 17th, will be there lunchtime on the 18th and almost certainly going to do a lap of Tryfan NR and Bristly ridge in the afternoon; a route I try and do annually but haven't done since 2019

Hi David

I'm hoping to come on this meet if the weather's OK.

I will be looking to do some easier grade climbing.

Put John McMahon and Cath Kelly on the list please. I would like to do some scrambling and Cath wants to do some mountain walking. Let's hope for good weather.

Cheers

I’m up for a car share if anyone wants picking up.

Is there activity on the Sunday or just the Saturday? I’d love to get to this (will confirm for sure) but possibly won’t be able to arrive until later on the Friday. Thanks

People will be out both Saturday and Sunday (possibly even Friday if weather is good and people have time off work) - the dates just refer to the nights that people are staying on the camp site. People tend to split into groups depending on what they want to do each day - often organised in the pub on the Friday night or on here once the forecast for the weekend becomes obvious

Perfect! Thanks Lindsay. In that case please pop me down to attend! Love Wales!! Do I need to do anything else in the meantime to secure my place? Otherwise I will check back in nearer the time to synch any travel plans. Exciting!!!

Camping meets are always the easiest to book on to, once David sees this he'll pop your name on the list and you just pay the camp site directly when you get there.

Thank you Lindsay
