I am going to start taking bookings for the Betwys y Coed meet on thursday at Brigantes. the Pen Y Clogwyn hut is booked for the nights 1-3rd may. According tto the hut site :
Located away from roads in the forest above Betws y Coed, the hut provides a quiet and atmospheric base for exploring the many mountains and crags in the area.
Basic Information
General The hut is a ten minute walk up a track, in the forest above Betws y Coed. Everything is run off gas, as there is no electricity.
Building Kitchen, lounge, and eating area; bunk room; separate ablutions block.
Sleeping Accommodation Sleeps 18 on alpine style bunks: 12 in the bunk room and 6 on a loft platform in the main lounge. 6 spaces are reserved for members.
Heating Open convector wood fire.
Kitchen Gas rings, grills, oven, fridge, hot and cold running water, pots, pans and crockery.
Ablutions Block Two flush toilets, three basins, shower, hot and cold running water, drying room.
Cost per night will be £6, so £18 for the three nights.
Assuming people think its a good idea I will organise the usual communal meal for at least one night, and we can decide either to do another communal meal or eat out in Betys the other night, leaving people to sort themselves out on the day they travel down.
I will be at brigantes to take bookings this thursday from 10ish (probably climbing somewhere beforehand). lifts and directions will be organised closer to the weekend.
