The annual BMC Meet in Gower is a great opportunity to join other climbers and walkers at a beautiful venue in South Wales. Dave G and Andrew attended two years ago and had a great time. There will be some skills workshops for adults and for children, and a speaker and climbing pub quiz on Saturday evening. The BMC team cook breakfast on the campsite in the morning to raise funds for the South Wales Bolt Fund and local Rescue organisations. If you want to join us, just book into the campsite and mention the BMC. A separate field is set aside for the Festival. Andrew will be arriving early and will reserve you a pitch if you ask.

If you want a better idea of what to expect, have a look at the many photos on our Flickr pages and read the trip reports below.
