Opportunity for 4 members per day to go on a day of subsidised instruction with an instructor from Plas y Brenin. The emphasis will be on safe climbing and how to deal with the unexpected if it does not all quite go to plan! Very useful skills to have. One day could also be safe/confident lead climbing coaching if required.
Best book in quick!
Time to get your overalls on and attend to much needed maintenance of the cottage and barn to keep them nice for everyone to stay in.
DIY skills welcome, but jobs for all - last year it was quite a social affair, especially in the evening(!) and much fun was had!
(Yes this is the same weekend as the instructional weekend - learn one day, clean the next! :)
The dinner will be at to Manorbier YHA in Pembroke, scene of the very successful annual dinner a few years ago. We will have the whole hostel to ourselves. The hostel is literally minutes form the Pembroke sea cliffs and we hope to arrange for a ceildh band in case the climbing isn’t exhausting enough.
The annual Christmas Curry. The club will be getting together in London for some tasty food and appropriate levels of merriment.
The Banff Mountain Film Festival returns to London this February. A group of NLMC members are going on the 23rd of Feb. If you fancy coming along please contact Rachel at membership@nlmc.co.uk for further details of our plans.
The annual working meet to maintain the barn and cottage – always with its fair share of comedy, especially in the evenings.
This is a meet for aspirant and current new members to come to North Wales, climb, and get a flavour for what the club is like.
