Likely Itinerary
(We do change activities to suit the group and weather, so everyone gets the most out of the experience)
We are super flexible on pick-ups and drop-offs. In fact, we’d encourage parents/carers to leave their car at Bryntysilio and have a walk themselves – it really is stunning.
We ask for Saturday drop-offs between 1pm and 6pm and Friday collections between 1pm and 3pm (we’ll feed the young people lunch before they go)
