NACATC Llanbedr Camp
I, myself went to this years Llanbedr
camp and I can easily say that it was
my favorite camp so far. We started
the week by meeting and boarding
the coach at Cosford. Once the register had been checked we started the
engine and headed for Llanbedr. Half
way through the journey we stopped
at Welshpool where we could stretch
our legs and topped up our junk food
supplies for the week.
On arrival, we offloaded the luggage and the camps food and were
shown to our rooms. Before we had
time to unpack we were called into the
dining room for a camp brief and kit
check. After handing over our money
we were allowed the rest of the day
to settle in and get to know each other.
Just before lights out we were called
back to the dining area for our evening brief. We were told that Sunday’s
activities would be mountain biking
and hill walking, given a kit list and
sent off to get a good nights sleep.
for Betwys-Y-Coed. Not long into the jorney
two out of the three buses discovered a mix
tape in the CD player. The tape became the
subject of war between the buses as every
day as it provided the journey's entertainment as people bellowed out the tunes.

When we got there, the walkers were given
their maps and compasses and set off up the
hill. The cyclist were given a quick brief
about how to use the bike properly then, the
first group (my group) had a short walk to
the cycle centre where we collected our
bikes.
Getting to the base of the hill itself was quite
hard work. When we eventually reached it
reached it the gradient increased majorly
and the terrain got rougher. However, we
were all determined to reach the top so in
our own time we rode (and pushed the bikes)
up the hill. Near the summit we reach a dam
where we stopped for some lunch. By this
point we were all drenched from the heavy
rain but it was welcome as it was a nice way
of cooling down.
