Llyn Crafnant is a lake that lies in a beautiful valley in North Wales where the northern edge of the Gwydir Forest meets the lower slopes of the Carneddau mountains and, more specifically, the ridge of Cefn Cyfarwydd.
Crafnant takes its name from “craf”, an old Welsh word for garlic, and “nant”, a stream or valley. Even today the valley of Afon Crafnant smells of wild garlic when it flowers.
The lake can be reached by car only from Trefriw in the Conwy valley, though many visitors walk there from the village or from the neighbouring lake of Llyn Geirionydd, which runs parallel to it, but a mile distant, the two being separated by Mynydd Deulyn – “mountain of the two lakes”. Walkers can also approach the lake from Capel Curig.
There is a lakeside cafe (open from Easter until late summer) offers car parking for patrons. The lake is a popular fishing spot, and is kept stocked with brown trout and rainbow trout. From the cafe it is possible to hire boats for fishing or for pleasure. Private boating and swimming is not permitted.

8 week beginners course – for men and woman

Tueday evenings running from March 8th – 12th April
(start for 6.15pm arrive at 6pm)

V6 Adventure will be organising an Alpine Adventure week around the 14 – 21 July 2011 (dates to be confirmed and may change) – Seven days of action packed adventure and sightseeing, with camping in a fully serviced campsite yet surrounded by some of the most beautiful mountains in the Alps- If you only do one trip this year it should be this trip…

Planned activities:

Rockclimbing
Whitewater Rafting
Canyoning
Hiking
Glacier walk
Via Ferrata
Abseiling
Camping

We will be located in the Ecrins Massif not far from Briancon. The climate in summer is generally hot and sunny with cool nights which make it the perfect venue for an alpine adventure.

Rising from the valley floor at the side of the campsite are rock walls of over 1,000′ providing superb rock climbing within 5 minutes walk – the crags are bolted and specially equipped for beginners. Many of the rivers can be rafted, and we are aiming to include at least one rafting trip

An activity for those happy with heights is the Via Ferrata, steel cables high on mountainsides which you clip into and traverse along.

Added to this there will be a full range of adventure activities like Canyoning, Hiking and rock climbing to give a full and active programme of activities, including rest periods and sightseeing days off that are built into the programme at the local lake.

Accommodation will be camping – the campsite is beautiful and has all facilities needed, is set in the pine forest on the valley floor.

Costs to be confirmed later watch this space for more info. If you would like to be put on the mailing list and kept up to date on this event, email us info@v6adventure.co.uk and you will be the first to find out about any updates etc.

V6 Climbing Wall meets at Awesome Walls climbing wall, Liverpool on a Sundays from the afternoon to 8pm (Always check with other members thought the members area to keep up to date with whose heading down to the wall)
Turning up to theses meets are the quickest and simplest way for members and prospective members to meet up and to have a go at climbing.

If you have experience of climbing and know how to tie in, belay and lower off safely etc you are welcome to come down at any time free of charge and join in, you just need to pay your entrance fee to the wall and the hire of any equipment you may need, like harness, climbing shoes etc.

If you are a novice we hold introductory sessions on one night per month. During these sessions you will be introduced to the skills of tying in, belaying and lowering off safely, eventually allowing you to answer yes to the questions you’ll be asked on your registration form for Awesome Walls, enabling you to use the facilities without supervision.

An hour’s basic instruction on the introductory sessions for non members are £5 and for member £4 (email an leave a message  below if you think you need some basic instruction, so we can check if someone is available to attend).

We will also be running climbing coaching workshops shortly, so watch this space
