What a varied and fun weekend we had! Just wish that I had written the meet report straight away, as the paper I wrote my notes on has also been used as shopping list etc.....So I hope that names of routes are all correct! Saturday looked to be a promising morning.....Craig, Susan, Colin, Thomas, Phoebe, Roisin all head for Newborough Warren for walk and play in woods and the beach, but at the point when we are furthest from the car the rain started.....swift retreat to the Beacon. Sue had a bracing if rather wet walk around Llyn Padarn and back up to the hut. Meanwhile Gogarth was the destination for Kevin, Al, John, Dave, Fiona and Jenny. Café first to plan routes, but dry later for routes at Castell Helen....Blanco (everybody), Pel (Dave & John, Fiona & Jenny), Rap-VS** (Fiona & Jenny), True Moments/ Freebird-E1***(Kevin & Al). Andrew and Dave went along to capture events on film. The evening was given over to curry, wine, entertaining conversation and wine bottle opening demonstration.

Sunday was truly a beautiful, sunny day. Little Tryfan provided good climbing for Thomas, Roisin and Susan. Phoebe achieved first route on rock! Brief chat with John Sanderson on his way up Tryfan for a solo walk. Sue went for a walk over the Carneddau in the sunshine. Al, Kevin, John, Dave, Fiona and Jenny head back to Gogarth.

Only one child actually bitten by horse in field next to hut, the others ran away!
