Happy 2026 MMC! Our Ogwen Valley Winter Meet is coming up, offering a great opportunity to get out into the mountains of North Wales for winter climbing, mountaineering and scenic hill walking, well suited to a range of abilities.

This meet is open to both newer and more experienced members. It is a good chance to build winter confidence, climb with others, and enjoy a sociable weekend in a fantastic setting.

We will be staying at the cosy Ogwen Valley Bunkhouse, which provides a warm and sociable base surrounded by dramatic mountain scenery, excellent nature walks, and easy access to a wide range of mountains and hills.

Please do get in touch with us as soon as possible if you’re interested in joining us and have any questions.

To our Prospective Members – we support our members in showing the ropes to new hikers, however please recognise if you haven’t had any summer hiking experience or lack the relevant winter related gear, you may be requested to reconsider your hiking plans to areas more suitable to inexperienced winter walking / walk on flatter ground if the members do not feel comfortable to take you out. This is a decision we will support.

The BMC recognises that climbing and mountaineering are activities with a danger of personal injury or death. Participants in these activities should be aware of and accept these risks and be responsible for their own actions.
