North Wales Trip

Fri 13 Nov 2026 - Sun 15 Nov 2026

The most exciting event of Term 1 is upon us. No, not SWUPL. No, not Movember. CHRISTMAS. ๐ŸŽ

On Friday 13th November, we will be making the annual pilgrimage to the magical land of North Wales, where rivers flow, Christmas cheer is abundant, and a luxurious bunkhouse awaits us. โœจ

๐ŸŽ„ THE PLAN:

๐ŸŽ… Friday 13th November: Load up the sleigh (also known as the van) and make our way to North Wales (after lectures). Settle into the grotto, spread some Christmas cheer, and prepare for a weekend of festive shenanigans.

๐Ÿ›ถ Saturday: Up bright and early to send some Welsh rivers. Santa's elves may make questionable life choices, but at least they'll be making them in a boat. Then it's back to the bunkhouse for a wholesome Christmas dinner, festive festivities, and absolutely no allegations of minor carnage whatsoever. ๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ—

๐ŸŽ„ Sunday: One final day of paddling (depending on your fragile little stomachs), before we head back to Cardiff on Sunday afternoon, hopefully with all our paddlers accounted for and only a reasonable amount of emotional damage.

๐ŸŽ… Rumour has it the big man himself might even make an appearance. Whether that's Father Christmas or someone who's had one too many festive beverages remains to be seen.
