Mixed weekend trip with Uni of London M.C to Snowdonia

Our first trip of 2019 will, excitingly, be our first joint trip for a while. We’ll be taking 20 members to join 20 University of London mountaineering club members at their hut, Caseg Fraith, in the heart of Snowdonia.

The hut has three big dorms, an open fire, a fantastic view of the Ogwen Valley, and is perfectly located for rock climbing, bouldering, scrambling and walking. We'll be offering all manner of such activities throughout the weekend, along with classic LUMC shenanigans and a fantastic social atmosphere! If it’s cold enough there may even be some exciting winter activities on the books.


Remember you must have LUMC membership to come on the trip!

We will be asking which activities, you would prefer to do. Please be aware that because of the weather and leader availability we are not able to guarantee that you can do all the activities you wish - but we'll try our best!

If you wish to climb on this trip you must have attended an Awesome Walls session/ be confident at lead belaying and have climbing shoes to wear.
