North Wales Stones Weekend, April 2004

Select a forum:
Next April I am planning a self-catering Hostel based stones weekend
Anglesey, and Conwy.

There are 24 beds, 13 already taken. Left is an 8 bed, and a 10 bed room -
one for ladies, one for gents. 2 ladies, and 5 gents so far. Should it be
necessary, the places will be given on a first come, first served basis, according to the time I receive the e-mail.

The price - actual accomodation for 2 nights for Friday 2nd and Saturday
rd - £14.17; I ask for £15, as I will be doing photocopying for the group,
as well as phone calls, postage, and purchasing some milk etc at the time.
This will help cover my costs.

It is possible that I may need to ask for more money (but not until next
February) should all the places not be taken - so to make it fair, the cost
of the untaken places would be split between those going. If you know of any who might like to come - please let them know, as it would be better for a full hostel!

Should you wish to book, please mail me, and I'll send you my address to
send a £15 cheque per attendant to reserve the place(s). If you wish to
check me out that I am bona fide, there are stones folks out there who could vouch for me :-) I also regularly organise meets - homepage

The proposed itinerary:
More driving on the Saturday than on the Sunday, so as not to do loads of
driving PLUS return trip on Sunday.

Saturday 3rd April - Tour of Anglesey Monuments:
Bryn Celli Ddu burial chamber, Bodowyr dolmen, Barclodiad Y Gawres burial chamber, Ty Newydd dolmen, Trefignath multiple chambered cairn, Penrhos Feilw Standing Stones, South Stack Hut Circles, Lligwy dolmen and ancient settlement, and more besides (as much as can be fitted in on one day! Rock 'til you drop if you like!).

Sunday 4th April - Conwy Mountainside:
Maen Y Bardd Dolmen, numerous standing stones, Cerrig Pyrfaid Circle,
Druids' Circle, Circle 275, and numerous other features yet to be decided
upon! I am investigating trying to do a circular walk on the Sunday - but
this is tentative and being researched!

Arrival: Friday after 5pm
Departure: Sunday after breakfast (vacate hostel)

If you can not, or do not wish to stay at the hostel, this does not exclude
you from joining as little, or as much of the meet as you would like to.

Please mail me - [email protected] to express your interest!

Cheers

Tim
