Caseg Ffraith, 9th-11th October 2018

Unusually the Caseg Ffraith trip this year did not fill so we took a slightly reduced number of 35 people to the Ogwen valley for the second weekend trip of the term. Changeable is the best description of the weather for the weekend, with hail, rain, high winds, low cloud, and bright sunshine all making an appearance. A good variety of walks was had on the Saturday, with many opting for excursions into the Glyders and the Carneddau, whilst one group decided to drive to Snowdon to bag it in the name of CUHWC. Special mention has to go to Andrew Wa for his 40km run with nearly 2500m ascent, taking in the Snowdon and Glyder massifs. On the Saturday evening mulled wine was enjoyed by most and two cats persisted in their attempts to gain entry to the bunkhouse, succeeding several times before being confined to the outdoors.
