    Christmas Trip 2022

    Every year MMC heads to Snowdonia in late November / early December for the most popular trip on the calendar.

    A weekend camping near Dolgellau was the limit of what we could do in the summer of 2021. A linear walk along the full Cadair Idris ridge on Saturday was followed by a wet Sunday explore of the Mawddach Estuary to keep away from the worst of the weather.

    The annual winter trip of 2020 was based just outside Aviemore.
