"It's not advisable to drink too much strong liquors while climbing in the Alps. If, however, you are going to fall over a cliff, it's advisable to be thoroughly intoxicated when you do so. - Anonymous English alpinist"

This year we'll be following on hot on the heels of last year's epic trip to Snowdonia.
We have selected a slightly less remote location for our base this time. We will be staying at the ULGMC, (University of London Graduate Mountaineering Club) Hut called “Caseg Fraith” GR 684 601 for anyone who wants to check it out on a map. The hut is along the lines of the IMC Hut, so be prepared! click here to read about the hut and its facilities
The location is very good for both hiking and climbing in the area, the most obvious options being close-by are Tryfan and The Glyders. Both Milestone Buttress and Bristly Ridge are super-accessible from the hut offering some hard scrambling and easy multi-pitch climbs given a little imagination. To top it all off, there is bouldering in the back garden of the hut, (link)
For those of you who haven't been away to these parts at this time of year be prepared for cold weather. Last year there was snow on at least one of the days. We'll be traveling to Wales by ferry to Holyhead. Transport from Holyhead to the Hut is being organised with a shop stop in Aldi/Lidl along the way. There will be 25 places, the trip is usually very popular with both grads and undergrads so book early to avoid being left out in the cold, (literally).
