Plas Y Brenin June 2020
Through the BMC we have found a great opportunity to book the Moelwyn Bunkhouse at Plas Y Brenin for the nights of Friday 26th and Saturday 27th June 2020. Plas Y Brenin offers a great base for climbing and walking, with it’s facilities and bar right next door!
In addition to the two nights we have a provisional reservation for a third night on Sunday 28th if enough members are interested for a three night stay, and we may also have the opportunity of a free short climbing coaching session with a Plas Y Brenin instructor during our stay. As such the club is keen to promote this meet and get early interest so bookings are open for members now, and for guests and provisional members on 27th January. Cost is £16 per night.
Details of the bunkhouse:
The bunkhouse sleeps 16 with rooms of 10, 4, and 2.
Please email the organiser Kara Heald to confirm availability and we will then request payment to reserve your place. At the same time please also let us know if you would be interested in a third night stay (Sunday 28th June) and / or the free climbing coaching session. We will request a separate additional payment for the third night once we confirm if we have enough interest to extend the booking.
Another Thursday Walk for our midweek program
