Events Calendar

AC Pembroke Weekend
From Friday 15 June 2018
To Sunday 17 June 2018
Friday 15 June 2018

Choose hot sunny weather; choose low spring tides in the middle of the day; choose beautiful red and purple sandstone slabs rising out of an azure sea; choose multi-pitch coarse-grain gabbro; choose wild scenery, coastal paths, cream teas, archaeology, and the smallest cathedral; choose Pembroke, or more specifically choose Porthclais Campsite, St David's Head, over the weekend of June 15-17.

No need to restrict yourself to the weekend; the organizers will be there from at least Thursday night (14th) till Monday night (18th), and will bring a big family tent to use as a communal eating and meeting area. Pembroke North offers a huge selection of quality climbs in all grades, and remember that it is a little less than one hour's drive to the car parks of St Govans and Stack Rocks above the more populated South Pembroke white stuff.
