Itinerary
Friday:
Welcome get together with dinner around 8pm.We'll have a bite to eat and then go for a drink at the local pub for a chance to get to know each other better!
Saturday:
An option of one of two walks:
1) An easy-going 8 mile social walk. Starting from the lodge across the local hills down to a stunning valley, walking around the lake and back to the lodge through the forest. Taking in some of the breathtaking Snowdon scenery along the way, this is the perfect Saturday walk, and we end up at the local pub where we can toast our achievement with a well earned drink.
2) A more challenging walk. Snowdon. If you feel like a bit more of a challenge the walk up the highest mountain in England and Wales will push you, but the sense of achievement when you reach the summit is well worth it. This area also benefits from some of the most beautiful views in all Britain.
Sunday:
After a lazy start reading the papers and having had breakfast we will set off a few miles up the road to the Ogwen Valley for five mile circular walk around lake Idwal. Taking in the spectacular sights of the Glyderau and Carneddau mountain ranges.
Nestled amongst spectacular scenery, between a river and a network of mountain footpaths, the lodge is uniquely positioned for outdoor enthusiasts. It has a patio area with fantastic views overlooking a mountain river and waterfall, a large drying room and a welcoming living room with fantastic waterfall views and real fire, perfect for cosying up in after our walk! The Mountain Lodge is comfortable bunk accommodation with ensuite shower and toilet in each bedroom.
Price Guarantee: If you find a cheaper package* then we will refund twice the difference.

Please note the planned walks are dependent on local conditions and the itinerary may change due to weather conditions on the weekend. Rest assured though that we will still find walks to suit the conditions and provide you with a fun packed social weekend.
I would recommend this trip to anyone as a great way to spend your weekend! This was my first event and I wasn't sure what to expect, but I was made to feel relaxed from the moment we arrived at the lodge - everyone was really friendly and genuinely interested in meeting new people. On top of that, the location was beautiful - a definite contrast to the Manchester landscape! I'm definitely glad I went and will sign up on more Social Circle events for sure.

Weekends away are great social occasions and a great way to meet new people so don't worry if you are coming on your own or need transport as more than enough people to car share.
