Last week we had a great bunch of students in from Tudor Grange Academy. They were a really worthwhile group who put in loads of effort to make the most of the opportunity having won the Alpkit Foundation competition for a free residential with us.
The students went rock climbing, canoeing, gorge scrambling and climbed Snowdon with us.
The last two weeks of January have seen Boulder Adventures delivering six Prince’s Trust Team programs. Intended to challenge the teams and the weather has certainly added to that challenge. With the temperatures dropping and the snow coming down the teams have had some spectacular scenes for the adventures and worked hard to prove what they can achieve together

It’s been a busy start to the year with plenty of guests staying at the centre already. Last week we had the first school trip of the year visiting Llanberis taking part in Rock Climbing, Raft Building, Gorge Scrambling, Canoeing and a Snowdon Day. If you are still looking to book an adventure to Snowdonia in 2019 please get in touch as we have some slots remaining.
At Boulder Adventures we have a number of transport solutions for our customers. We like to walk if possible, certainly the greener option. You can walk to our water sports centre or up Snowdon from the Bryn Du Mountain Centre. Other times we need to use a minibus or van. Many customers drive to us so have use of their own transport for the trip in which case we can allocate an instructor or kit van to your course. Many school groups will turn up by coach, if this is the case we can then provide minibus transport to get to the activities that require it. We are a licensed transport operator so you can trust our staff are fully qualified and experienced for driving as well as instructing. Having our own vehicles on site means we can also offer pick-ups from Bangor Train Station for those that require. Being a licensed transport operator means we can be pre booked for journeys without being on one of our courses. So if you are staying in Llanberis and need a drop off to start a mountain walk please get in contact.
We recently had the pleasure with assisting on the Countryfile BBC Children in Need Ramble in Padarn Country Park. The day started and finished at the National Slate Museum and included a ride on the Llanberis Lake Railway as part of the journey around Llyn Padarn.
The programme was shown on Sunday evening and can now be viewed on iPlayer.

They are taking on the challenge to help St David’s Hospice. More on the adventure can be viewed on the donations page.
