Adventure weekends in Wales

It’s the most amazing coastal exploration adventure involving scrambling, swimming, climbing and jumping your way along the rocky Welsh coastline. No experience is required, everyone can do it, and as you’ll be wearing a flotation jacket, you don’t even need to be able to swim. You’ll be amazed at what you can do, and its so much fun!

When do the weekend trips start?

The programmes start on Friday evening. Typically students arrive into our local train station at 18.45, but later trains are available. You are welcome to arrive on Thursday evening which is an additional cost of £49 including delicious evening meal plus breakfast Friday morning. There are loads of lovely experiences and exploring to do on Friday, from local walks to discover hidden beaches to opting into extra adventures £49, or extra excursions £45.

How to I get to Wales?

Your travel to Wales is not included in the weekend cost. We recommend taking the train, and ticket discounts are available if there are 3 people or more. We offer a free train station transfer at 18.45 from our local station of ‘Fishguard and Goodwick’. From Paddington station in London this train departs at 13.45. Don’t worry if you need to leave later as there are other trains, with the last one leaving London at 20.15, and for later trains you may need to pay for a taxi. If you are travelling from Ireland, the Fishguard – Rosslare ferry is just 5 miles away. On Sunday we take you back to  ‘Fishguard and Goodwick’ for the train at 14.23. To purchase tickets use The Ticket Hut on 01554 830188 (before 2.00pm) or email thetickethut@pembreystation.co.uk

How does the rooming work at the eco lodge?

We have 11 different bedrooms of different sizes from rooms for 2 people, double rooms for couples, up to larger rooms sleeping 6 or 8. We allocate separate male/female rooms taking onto account friendship groups, so please do request a specific room when you book.

Do I need to be able to swim? Is this suitable for beginners?

All our adventures are open to everyone, you don’t need any previous experience, you don’t need to be active or outdoorsy, just a “go for it attitude” is more than sufficient! You don’t even have to be able to swim as the flotation jackets are super floaty. For the water adventures, you do need to be able to pull on a wetsuit and we have a huge range of sizes. Any queries regarding physical ability please do contact us.

Are all the meals included? Do you cater for vegetarians and special diets?

Yes, all the delicious home cooked meals and Welsh dishes are included and we are very happy to provide food for special diets including vegetarians, and those with allergies and food intolerances. Make sure you let us know your requirements when you book.

Can we book for a longer mid-semester break?

Yes, we have 4 night/5 days longer student programmes for your mid-semester break. Why not continue your travels over the Irish sea to explore Ireland – there is a cheap ferry from Fishguard, just 5 miles away, over to Rosslare in southern Ireland.

Is this trip open to friends who want to join me?

Yes, of course, friends and family are all very welcome! If they are travelling with you, they can also pay the student rate.
