This year's meet will follow the same basic format as the two previous meets in 2009 and 2010. We are hoping to be able to camp at Outdoor Alternative at Rhoscolyn again. This is a private campsite at an outdoor centre and camping is by prior arrangement only, so all members wishing to attend the meet are asked to notify the meet coordinator, Andy Gee, so that he can confirm the numbers attending when he makes the booking. The camping fee is £5.50 per night for tents and includes hot showers.
The site is convenient for all the classic crags around Gogarth, in addition to Holyhead Mountain and the sea cliffs at Rhoscolyn. It is approximately seven miles from the parking at South Stack via Trearddur and Porth Dafarch, and it is a similar distance through Holyhead to the Breakwater Country Park for access to Wen Zawn and North Stack.
The nearest pub, the White Eagle at Rhoscolyn, is just a short walk away along the sandy beach at Borthwen. This is usually a very busy pub, popular with the recently married royal couple, and serves good but quite expensive food(main courses shown on their website currently range from £11 to £16). If people prefer, we might be better off investigating other pubs around Four Mile Bridge.
Low tide will be approximately 2:30pm on Saturday afternoon. You can check the tide times for yourself on the Climbers' Club website.
For anyone seeking inspiration, on our website there are lots of photos and reports from previous trips to Anglesey.
For all enquiries contact Andy Gee either by telephone or e-mail to enquiries@sthelensmc.org.uk.
