We're heading to North Wales for this year's Mountain Biking meet on the weekend of the 10th/11th August, staying at our lovely club hut. With local bike trails through the mountains plus the excellent Coed-yr-Brenin trail centre not far away it's the perfect base for a weekend of MTB. Book your place at the club hut as normal by contacting the Hut Bookings secretary. There is of course the option to arrive earlier or stay longer and make a long weekend of it.
Naturally your going to need a Mountain Bike in good working order for this club meet. It will be up to those attending where you head out to and what level of ride you chose to suit your ability and fitness. If you need some inspiration reach out and we'll give you some suggestions (did I mention that Coed-yr-Brenin is REALLY good). You'll need your sleeping bag and pillow case as normal for staying at the hut, and of course whatever food you want for the weekend.
It makes sense to share lifts for meets so reach out via WhatsApp if you can offer a lift or are looking for a lift share.

We'll decide which crags we head to nearer the time to suit the weather but likely candidates include Harpur Hill, Colehill, Horseshoe, etc as these have something to suit most abilities. If you've not sport climbed before please let us know so we can advise on the kit you'll need.
As with most of our meets there is a dedicated WhatsApp group in the Bowline Community which you can join to be part of the discussion for the meet.
