Introduction

Q: Do I have to buy a train ticket?

A: The train ticket and all transportation from Dolygaer are included in the cost.

Q: What do I need to bring?

A: For the walk: A spare fleece, or jumper, 1 litre of water, and snacks. Hat, gloves. (Sun hat in the summer, Woolly hat any other time as it can be quite cold on the hills and gloves all year round). If you own your own waterproofs our qualified instructors will check that the seams are taped and suitable for use in the mountain environment (Waterproofs can be borrowed from the centre). Sun cream is also an essential if you are spending all day out on the hill.

For the paddling: Change of clothes, towel, and a drink.

Q: What do I need to wear? 

A: For the walk: Warm stretchy clothing, jogging bottoms, (man-made fibres) such as thermal tops, football tops and fleeces. A good pair of thick socks.

For the paddling: A swim costume or underwear under the wetsuit, a pair of trainers with a good sole on and a pair of shorts to wear over the top of the wetsuit. All other kit is provided. In summer months, shorts and a t-shirt may be the best for canoeing as you don't get too hot.

Q: What ages are allowed?

A: All ages are allowed to join us, though children under 6 might not be able to do the paddling on the reservoir as they need to fit into our buoyancy aids.
