Hope you had a great weekend?
On the weekend of 30th September, 1st October, we are having a training weekend, staying at ‘Bunkhouse Heaven’, Lake Vyrnwy, North Wales.
The cost of the weekend is £150, which includes 2 nights stay at Bunkhouse Heaven and all activities.
Lake Vyrnwy
Lake Vyrnwy is a reservoir in Powys, Wales. Its stone-built dam, built in the 1880s, was the first of its kind in the world. It was built for the purpose of supplying Liverpool and the districts later designated as Merseyside with fresh water. It flooded the head of the Vyrnwy valley and submerged the small village of Llanwddyn. TheLake Vyrnwy Nature Reserve and Estate that surrounds the lake is jointly managed by the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) and Severn Trent Water, and is a popular destination for days out, and for ornithologists, cyclists and hikers. The reserve is designated as a national nature reserve, aSite of Special Scientific Interest, a Special Protection Area, and a Special Area of Conservation.
Bunkhouse Heaven
At the head of a hideaway valley near the River Tanat, in that charming but little known stretch of mid-Wales lying between historic Offa’s Dyke and the rugged magnificence of Snowdonia, stands the ancient farmhouse of Foel Ortho set in stunningly beautiful countryside.
On the thousand foot contour, nestling into the Powys hillside, this historic home – one of the few remaining ‘cruck buildings’ in Wales – affords spectacular views stretching twelve miles across to the Berwyn mountains while behind the house the pre-Roman track Llwybr Heulen (Helen’s Way) winds up to Clawdd Mawr, the once-fortified Celtic earthwork.
Hidden away in the hillside garden you may discover the Follies – the much filmed, photographed and adored fantasy world of colour, shape and sound, created over the last forty years by jazz trumpeter Eddie Matthews – surely the ultimate escape from all known stresses and strains.
