3 places left
This is the second of a series of wild camps in North Wales, which will build progressively in their difficulty. This is an moderate two day adventure.
We will be setting off after an early lunch in the cafe, where there will be a briefing about the adventure. We will try to the starting point (approximately 30 minutes away) from where we will ascend onto the Nantlle Ridge.
After several hours of exploring the ridge, including a number of small scramble, we will descend to the Prince Charles Reservoir (disused) and neighbouring mine ruins, where we will set up camp for the night.
The next day we will either return via the forest or Moel Hebog, depending on the capbility of the group and weather conditions.
