The hut

The hut has toilets, showers, power, bunks, cooking facilities, fresh drinking water. It may not have signal at all on some networks. It may or may not have WiFi. There aren’t big shops nearby. We will have to bring everything with us.

What are the plans? What if the weathers bad?

We'll figure out all plans the night before in the hut.

What should I bring?

Key:
Normal text: things you definitely need.
Italic: optional things you might like to have.

Sleeping things

  • Sleeping bag (mummy-style sleeping bags with a hood are best in the UK)
  • Pillow
  • Slippers? (see below)
  • Earplugs and eyemask (other people can be loud, can snore and this may help you sleep better)

Climbing Gear

If you’re hoping to climb, you’ll need your own gear - there isn’t anywhere to hire it. At a minimum, you’ll need:

  • Harness
  • Helmet (this needs to be a climbing helmet, kayaking, snowboarding, cycling helmets are designed to protect you from different things)
  • Belay device & karabiner
  • Climbing shoes

Really helpful things to have, even if you’re not leading

If you have any of these things, bring them:

  • Extra karabiners
  • Some or all of a trad rack
  • Half ropes
  • A 50m or 60m rope
  • Relevant guidebooks

If you're a trad leader, you should know what to bring (everything!).

  • Comfortable climbing top
  • Underwear
  • Waterproof top and bottom
  • An extra warm layer
  • Hiking boots

  • Gloves + spare gloves
  • A full change of clothes back at camp (for being around the hut)
  • An extra warm layer for belaying
  • Hat
  • Buff / scarf
  • Swimming costume(!)

General outdoor gear

There is often a walk to any climbing, maybe even a bit of a hike. It’s good to be equipped in case we’re outside longer than expected.

  • Small rucksack (25-40 litre)
  • Headtorch
  • Water bottle (at least 1 litre)
  • Tupperware lunchbox for sandwiches
  • Spare batteries
  • Suncream

Where am I driving to?

You are headed precisely to here, but read on for a second.

Precise Hut Location

Dlan Dwr is situated in Capel Curig next to Joe Browns.

Head towards Bangor on the A5.

Once in Bangor, take the A5 South, towards Betws-y-coed (the lodge is approximately 25 minutes drive from here).

After passing through the village called Bethesda there is a long section of the journey through the Ogwen mountain valley (stunning views) and once you start seeing civilisation again, you will enter the village of Capel Curig.

Slow down at this point as the house Glan Dwr is set back from the road on the right hand side just after a bend and just before the Pinnacle café and shops. There is a good chance youll miss the house and have to turn around, but you should spot the Pinnacle café easily.

If you're first to arrive

If you are the first one there, or likely to be - please message The Clan directly for info of how to get inside.

Where to sleep

We're likely to be sharing the hut, so we'll need to stay in our allotted rooms. Put your stuff on any bed in those rooms to reserve it.

Sleeping things

  • Sleeping bag (mummy style sleeping bags with a hood are best in the UK)

Climbing Gear

If you’re hoping to climb, you’ll need your own gear - there isn’t anywhere to hire it for. At a minimum - you’ll need:

  • Harness
  • Helmet (this needs to be a climbing helmet, kayaking, snowboarding, cycling helmets are designed to protect you from different things)

Where am I driving to?

The location/parking situation is somewhat complex - read on carefully.

Precise Hut Location

Parking at the hut is strictly limited, and we have been allocated 4 places, by the somewhat strict hut trustees (one of whom we're likely to meet on Friday night).

If you're first to arrive

If you are the first one there, or likely to be - please message The Clan directly for info of how to get inside.

Where to sleep

We're likely to be sharing the hut, so we'll need to stay in our allotted rooms. Put your stuff on any bed in those rooms to reserve it.

Where am I driving to?

You are headed precisely to here, but read on for a second.

Precise Hut Location

The last 300m to the hut is one car width, with zero passing places.

There are two shut gates (the first one is marked "private", the second appears to be padlocked.. but isn't).

Please close them after you, and behave pleasantly to anyone you meet.

The first gate

The farmer whose land you pass through is not friendly, and whilst should not trouble you, is unlikely to be helpful or friendly.

Outside the hut is plenty of parking, but please park efficiently, and be willing to be blocked in.

If you're first to arrive

If you are the first one there, or likely to be - please message The Clan directly for info of how to get inside.

We're likely to be sharing the hut, so we'll need to stay in our allotted rooms. Put your stuff on any bed in those rooms to reserve it.
