When you join us you will be able to see some of our donkeys and we will introduce you to Nutmeg, Norman and their friends. Your ‘donkey time’ experience will start with a formal introduction to the adults leading your session and a glance around the home of our donkeys. We will introduce you to some of our donkeys and give you a glimpse of what makes them special. After formal introductions to the donkeys we will introduce you to the ones that will be accompanying you on your walk. We usually walk with one donkey per 2 people so that you get time to chat with your donkey as well as human companions. Keeping safe around donkeys and our procedures for safe walking with donkeys our outlined before we set off on our walk. Our walk will take us over public footpaths and permissive rights of way around the farm and neighbouring area. We'll walk through broad-leafed woodlands and over grazing land to glimpse some most spectacular views of the local coast and countryside. We'll take our walk at donkey pace so will have have plenty of time for sight seeing and getting close to nature. Our circular walk takes us back to the donkeys main shelter where you can spend some quality time with the donkeys that accompanied you on the walk so there will be plenty of time for photographs and selfies of course!

We'll meet for quick introductions and briefing over a brew. Then we'll drive together a short distance to the parking area, where we'll get you kitted up with a Harness, Helmet, and climbing Shoes. Then we'll walk to the crag (climbing cliff), this could be anywhere between 5-30 minutes depending on which climb(s) we're aiming to do. The Climbs will be carefully tailored to suit your aims, ability, experience, the weather, and your desires. We'll aim to learn as we climb, instead of standing around for 1/2 the day talking about it, we'll get climbing and I'll teach you the skills as we progress. You can expect to come away having learned lots of new skills regardless of your previous experience, and having had a good day out with lots of climbing done. Other things to note Guests of any age can come, but under 18's must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Please monitor your health prior to your course and if displaying any Covid symptoms please cancel your experience. Arrive prepared for physical activity rested and fed!

Have you ever wondered what goes on in a beehive? This is the experience you've been waiting for! This taster day at angleseybees is designed specifically for anyone curious enough to want to learn more about the life of honey bees and the beekeeper’s year before making the decision to attend a beginners course. After discussing the aspects below, we will kit up in protective clothing and amble out to the apiary where you will get to see inside a real working beehive and get some hands-on experience of handling the bees under supervision. This makes a great photo opportunity! Why keep bees? – it’s not just about the honey! Bee hives and where bees live Life cycle of honey bees Protective clothing and using a smoker After seeing the bees at work, to conclude, you will learn about the beekeeper's year and try your hand at a blind honey tasting experience so that you can compare genuine locally produced artisan honey with imported supermarket honey. I am more than happy to discuss hosting bespoke experiences to larger groups and families with young children on other dates. message me to discuss options.

You'll be guided to the summit of Wyddfa (Snowdon), the highest mountain in Wales and the 19th highest in the British Isles, by a genuine local. Throughout the hike I will be there to support and encourage you as we travel at a steady pace to the summit. We'll meet in the village of Llanberis at 08:45, catch the shuttle bus to Pen-y-Pass from where we'll hike up to the summit of Wyddfa (Snowdon) via the old Miner's track, once at the summit you'll be able to rest and enjoy the views. We'll then hike down from the summit to the village of Llanberis, aiming to get back around 3pm. The hike to the summit isn't one that I would class as hard but you'll definitely know that you've climbed a mountain and you'll sleep well when you go to bed that evening. I'd encourage guests to book early and remind guests that they can cancel 7 days before the experience and receive a full refund. Also, if the weather is very bad on the day of the experience I will cancel and you'll receive a full refund. Other things to note - I want guests to be able to relax and enjoy their day and let me do all the organising but I do need guests to arrive with the correct clothing and footwear as we will be in a mountain environment.
