We'll meet for quick introductions and briefing over a brew. Then we'll drive together a short distance to the parking area, where we'll get you kitted up with a Harness, Helmet, and climbing Shoes. Then we'll walk to the crag (climbing cliff), this could be anywhere between 5-30 minutes depending on which climb(s) we're aiming to do. The Climbs will be carefully tailored to suit your aims, ability, experience, the weather, and your desires. We'll aim to learn as we climb, instead of standing around for 1/2 the day talking about it, we'll get climbing and I'll teach you the skills as we progress. You can expect to come away having learned lots of new skills regardless of your previous experience, and having had a good day out with lots of climbing done. Other things to note Guests of any age can come, but under 18's must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Please monitor your health prior to your course and if displaying any Covid symptoms please cancel your experience. Arrive prepared for physical activity rested and fed!

Our guests arrive on site, and after the “human” introductions we proceed to the alpacas, where before entering the enclosure guests are briefed on how to behave around the animals, how to handle them, and a general safety talk concerning been on a farm with loose animals. They will then come and meet the alpacas, hand feed them and learn about the history of the alpaca species with facts and information while they can also get hands on a handle the animals. Then we halter up and after practicing leading the guests then lead the alpacas around the farm, meeting the various farm animals here, depending on the time of year this can include hand feeding, bottle feeding lambs/goats kids, photo opportunities with the pigs/cattle/sheep. Whilst walking any wildlife is pointed out, along with natural features ( mountains, peat bog, ancient oak woodland). We also talk about the various farm animals, benefits of the free range systems of care, and answer any questions. We then continue the walk back to the other alpacas, before letting the herd back out. At this point guests can enjoy a drink, or are welcome to bring a picnic and can watch the alpacas at leisure, grazing and playing. At all points the guide is there to answer any questions, and tell people information about all the animals and nature. Other things to no

You'll be guided to the summit of Wyddfa (Snowdon), the highest mountain in Wales and the 19th highest in the British Isles, by a genuine local. Throughout the hike I will be there to support and encourage you as we travel at a steady pace to the summit. We'll meet in the village of Llanberis at 08:45, catch the shuttle bus to Pen-y-Pass from where we'll hike up to the summit of Wyddfa (Snowdon) via the old Miner's track, once at the summit you'll be able to rest and enjoy the views. We'll then hike down from the summit to the village of Llanberis, aiming to get back between 3pm and 4pm. The hike to the summit isn't one that I would class as hard but you'll definitely know that you've climbed a mountain and you'll sleep well when you go to bed that evening. I'd encourage guests to book early and remind guests that they can cancel 7 days before the experience and receive a full refund. Also, if the weather is very bad on the day of the experience I will cancel and you'll receive a full refund. Other things to note - I want guests to be able to relax and enjoy their day and let me do all the organising but I do need guests to arrive with the correct clothing and footwear as we will be in a mountain environment.

Have you ever wondered what goes on in a beehive? This is the experience you've been waiting for! This taster day at angleseybees is designed specifically for anyone curious enough to want to learn more about the life of honey bees and the beekeeper’s year before making the decision to attend a beginners course. After discussing the aspects below, we will kit up in protective clothing and amble out to the apiary where you will get to see inside a real working beehive and get some hands-on experience of handling the bees under supervision. This makes a great photo opportunity! Why keep bees? – it’s not just about the honey! Bee hives and where bees live Life cycle of honey bees Protective clothing and using a smoker After seeing the bees at work, to conclude, you will learn about the beekeeper's year and try your hand at a blind honey tasting experience so that you can compare genuine locally produced artisan honey with imported supermarket honey. I am more than happy to discuss hosting bespoke experiences to larger groups and families with young children on other dates. message me to discuss options.

We meet at 10 am at my woodland, Coed Obry, 1 mile north of Penrhyndeudraeth where there is secure parking. We carry out medical checks and get to know each other, fit buoyancy aids, paddles and put our valuables in dry bags. We then drive 5 mins to the Afon Dwyryd Canoe access point and unload the canoes. After a safety briefing we paddle upstream for 1 ½ hours (the flow is weak), learning canoe techniques: the J-stroke, turning, trim, poling, and sailing.. We encounter wildlife along this stretch, buzzards, herons, kingfishers, Ospreys in Spring/summer, and a variety of ducks and geese. From 13.00-13.45 we get out at a secluded beach or quiet spot on the bank for our packed lunch. You bring your lunch and I’ll make tea and/or fresh expresso coffee on a stove. After lunch we paddle back to our access point and return to Coed Obry by 4pm to unload canoes and have tea/coffee. You will leave having learned some canoe skills and carried out a leisurely canoe journey in this beautiful part of Snowdonia, you will have encountered wildlife along the river and in the wood and have been guided by a canoe guide who is a retired Professor of Physical Geography & Outdoor Education.
