A Weekend Expedition in the Moelwyns, Snowdonia

If you are then I've detailed below some things that you might want to think about:-

First the Goal – what do you want to achieve?

• “Bag” Summits – the Welsh 3000’s, the English 3000’s, Yorkshires Three Peaks
• Explore an area – such as the area around Cwm Idwal, or around Kinder Scout
• Experience remote camping
• perhaps in the Brecon Beacons or Dartmoor
• perhaps in the high mountains of the Lakes or Snowdonia
• Follow a “high level cross country route” such as “Snowdon to Cader Idris” across the Meolwyns & the Rhinogs
• Follow some of Alfred Wainwright’s routes in the Lakeland fells
• perhaps taking in some of his favourite tops & ridges
• Ascents of more “technical” routes
• such as “The Snowdon Horseshoe” & Tryfan in Snowdonia, Striding Edge & Sharp Edge in the Lakes
• Brush up on your navigation

Then the method

• Two or more days walking in an area based in one location and travelling out either by foot or by other transport from that accommodation
• Accommodation could be Campsite, Hostel, Bed and Breakfast
• Two or more days walking travelling between separate accommodation either carrying everything or arranging transport for the “luggage”
• Two or more days “in the wilds”, wild camping overnight, taking everything needed
