On Location: Caffi Gwynant

Apologies to all regular readers for the scarcity of August posts. I've been in Snowdonia for eight days now & am due to be away until the end of the month. There were all kinds of grand plans for a post a day of the various activities - but it just hasn't happened. So, here's a first with a catch up from Caffi Gwynant  in the Nant Gwynant valley.

Caffi Gwynant

The reason for this extended visit was: initially to run the first ever In2venture Community holiday along with Alan Rainford & Marion Blakeman; second, to instruct on the CPAS Criccieth 3 youth camp, for which Paul Richardson will join us later today. At the time of writing the holiday is complete & was a success, youth work starts tomorrow:

Team In2venture: Alan Rainford

The visit started with a brief stop off a Llandudno last weekend on a fine evening:

Monday saw the arrival of our guests for the holiday: Brendan & Sarah; Steven & Susie & James.

First night activity was a paddle & cliff jumping from Elephant Rock on Llyn Gwynant:

 

 

Tuesday saw the full group  & Team In2venture all underground in Wrysgan Slate Mine for the full vertical trip - a good day:

 

 

 

Wednesday was gorge day - a first for me in the Afon Merch - a good addition to the repertoire of activities available at Llyn Gwynant. Thursday was more paddling & cliff jumping which concluded the first phase of the visit - as the rains came!

So there is a bit more to say about the weekend in between & posts from a planned Snowdon day on Monday & another water based day on Tuesday which will follow.
