Ceunant News - May 2006

With the; Ice, Snow & Ski season now well behind us and successful meets in Mid Wales, Pembroke and Yorkshire this update on our forthcoming meets might stir some more of us out into the mountains and onto the Rock.

Forthcoming meets:

27-29th  May                                          Skye
Probably the best mountain climbing area in the UK, with late May often providing some of the most reliable weather.  –  Mark Eddy for details.

 10 /11th June                                       Wild camping Cwm Bochlwyd
A 30min trogg up to the lake from Ogwen Cottage, camp round to the right past the outflow. Ref: 654592. Some of the finest mountain routes in the whole of Snowdonia are within easy reach of this site.  The rock is invariably rough, clean and accessible. A selection of excellent routes is enclosed; otherwise see the Ogwen and Carneddau Guidebook. – Joe Brennan for more details.

Saturday 24th June                             50th Anniversary Celebration
An ascent of Snowdon by as many routes as we can think of followed by a party in the garden of Tyn-Lon. Food & several barrels of ale, cider & wine have been organised and we will be entertained by a live band the BALOO-S. A bargain @ £10 per head, each ticket also doubles up as a raffle ticket.

Note: For obvious reasons: No camping in the garden this weekend!

 Wednesday 12th July                        River Severn Canoe Trip
Meet by the riverside at Hampton Loade at 7:00 pm. Canoes provided for the trip downstream to Arley. £9:00 each for hire of the canoes. – Lisa Levick for details.

Wild Camping in Cwm Bochlwyd

 10th June 2006

 From Ogwen Cottage follow the path first towards Idwall and then SSW towards Llyn Bochlwyd. The path climbs fairly steeply alongside Nant Bochlwyd to reach the outflow of the Llyn. Once you reach the lake follow the shore well round to your right, west then south. Camp at Grid Ref: SH654592. Approximately 45 mins from the road.

 Excellent Rock climbing, Scrambling and Ridge walking all within easy reach of the campsite.
