Snowdon Expedition 2013

We will be taking some of the Scouts to Snowdon on the weekend of 28th - 30th June. This trip will involve a expedition level walk into the mountains and a sleep on the hills for the older Scouts and a couple of walks in the valley for the younger Scouts. There are only 12 places, so allocation will be based upon capability and then a first come first serve basis.

The cost of the weekend will be £75 and the Scouts will also need £15 in a wallet for food at the service stations on the way up and back. This is a rare opportunity for Scouts and one they don't want to miss.

Once we received the completed form below your Scout will be registered as interested on the trip. Over the week following the 30th May we will choose the team going and notify both successful and unsuccessful candidates. Those that are unsuccessful will be put onto a reserve list. We will then need payment by the 14th June. Please note, due to the tight timescales missing this deadline will result in places being offered to those on the reserve list. We have to do this due to the popularity of the expedition.

The Programme

Having stayed Friday night in a bunk house, on Saturday the older Scouts will be hiking from camp up Rhyd Ddu up onto Snowdon and depending upon pace either summiting, or walking straight to camp. They will then stay over night high on the mountain, walking off the next day. They will be fully self sufficient and therefore carrying all they will need for the whole weekend. For this weekend it is really important that your child’s clothing and equipment is as light as possible and fits properly. An extensive kit list will be provide to the luck attendees and a full kit inspection will happen the Scout evening before the expedition. Don't worry, though they will have an experienced mountain leader with the and a support team ready should we need them. As you can appreciate the entire weekend programme is weather dependent.

Could you please fill out the form below indicating whether your Scout is or isn't interested and get it back to us (It is very important that I know either way) by the 30th May. Thank you for your speedy responses.
