WHAT TO EXPECT
AAA has been running Hiking Weekend events for over 17 years. With all that experience behind us, you can look forward to well-led hikes guided by knowledgeable leaders and delicious, healthy home-cooked food.

HIKE GRADES
You will have a choice of hikes, ranging from Moderate to Energetic. When we have three or more leaders, we also offer Challenging routes.
Our leaders are experienced in navigation and group leading, and all are trained in wilderness first aid.
Hikes vary in length: shorter options are around 15 km, while longer, more demanding ones go up to 25 km+. We'll tailor the routes to the weather on the day and confirm choices accordingly.

Join the AAA Hiking Mailing List for our Special Offers.

ITINERARY
The event starts at the Kings Hostel at 18:00 and finishes after the half-day hike on Monday, around 1 pm.

ACCOMMODATION
We rented Private Kings Hostel, set in its own wooded ravine, on the river meadow just for our group.
This is a very popular venue; we may hike up to Cadair Idris from a doorstep. There is a fire pit we can sit by in the evening.
Accommodation is in male and female rooms for 6 people.
When we are full, you may camp for half price on a field by the river.

FOOD
All meals are included and prepared fresh on site—our famous AAA home cooking! We always offer vegan and vegetarian options.
Feel free to bring your own alcoholic drinks and snacks. There's no need to budget for eating out; everything is covered—no restaurant trips or pub meals required.
