And plenty of other adventures to have too!

Autumn is a wonderful time of year to explore Eryri (Snowdonia). 🍁

During this season, you can look forward to lower humidity, fewer crowds and some amazing scenery. However, the Autumn can also bring with it some changes in how we must prepare in advance.

Here's our 6 tips for visiting safely this Autumn. 👇

To all our guests, please take note of the new parking constraints for Snowdon. There is a bus that stops outside the cottage so maybe plan on using that.

🅿️ 🚗 From today onwards anyone who wish to park in the Pen y Pass car park on the foothill of Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) will need to pre-book via the new JustPark booking system (link below).

It’s worth noting that we expect spaces to sell out quickly. If you’re unable to secure a space then you can use the regular Park and Ride service from Nant Peris. 🅿️+🚌

*Please note that travelling restrictions in and out of Wales remain in force until 12th April (subject to the public health situation).

Enjoy some great MTB guiding!

If we’ve been quiet over the last few months, we can only apologise - it’s been an odd time to be in the package tour business so we’ve taken some time and done some thinking (and of course, done some riding 🚵‍♀️🚵‍♂️)

So we’re pleased to announce that we are definitely back! Albeit in a slightly different shape for the rest of 2020.

So what’s new?

The big news is a series of guided day rides on most of the classic trails and loops that we usually enjoy on our all-inclusive trips.

These are now up and running and you can join us for a single day or for linked days to make a weekend or long weekend. The riding will be as awesome as ever (as will the company of course 😉), the only difference is that we’re unable to provide accommodation, food or transport (we can, of course, make recommendations).

If these are popular, we will continue them into 2021 alongside our all-inclusive breaks.

The full programme is on the website https://tomhuttonmtb.co.uk/guided-rides/

So please book here, or let us know if you have any questions or want any accommodation recommendations.

On top of this, we have been expanding our range of tailor-made trips to groups of friends, clubs etc. we can now offer any of our holidays, weekends or even day rides on a bespoke basis and this seems to be an area that is definitely growing...

Finally, we’ve amended our homepage www.tomhuttonmtb.co.uk to better reflect the 4 different strands to our business. And we’re making arrangements and keeping our fingers crossed that we will be able to run our trademark all-inclusive, guided packages again in 2021. The full schedule is also on the site and remember that all bookings are fully protected so full refunds will be available if we are forced to change anything...

Hope to see you all soon

Good news for mountain bikers. Have fun and please respect the advice.

We can announce that NRW have today confirmed that following the relaxation of travel restrictions by Welsh Government, most MTB trails and trail centres will reopen from 6th July.

From Monday 6th July, Coed y Brenin, car park, trails, visitor centre(limited services) and bike shop(limited services) will reopen. Beics Brenin hire services will return from Monday 13th July.

Behind the scenes at Beics Brenin we have been busy making preparations for reopening and are pleased to announce that the store will return to normal opening from Monday 6th July with bike hire services opening from the following weekend of 13th July (booking is open now).

Visitors will find new Covid19 safety measures in place and should expect some changes to layout and available services at the site.

SHOP
On reopening, we will be limiting the number of persons in the store at any time in much the same way that visitors will already be familiar with. A queuing system will be in place for busy periods and a member of our staff will be positioned to direct customers at store entrance. Additional sanitation measures are being taken and we are currently not allowing customers to try on clothing before purchase. To assist with sizing clothing purchases, additional assistance in the form of size charts and disposable tape measures will be in place and our normal return policy applies.

BIKE HIRE
Our hire services return from Monday 13th July with some important changes in place to make things as safe as possible, the most important being that We are currently unable to supply loan helmets with hire bikes due to difficulties in adequately sanitising these between users. Anyone hiring a bike from us MUST SUPPLY THEIR OWN HELMET. Helmets remain mandatory for use with our hire bikes and anyone hiring will be asked to show a suitable, well fitting helmet before hire bikes are issued. A limited range of helmets is available to purchase from our store but we strongly advise customers to purchase or bring their own to avoid any risk of disappointment.

Bikes should be booked online via beicsbrenin.co.uk and our hire day will now run from 9.30am to 4pm.

Book Online: https://www.beicsbrenin.co.uk/shop/bike-hire/
**[YOU MUST SUPPLY YOUR OWN HELMET]**

WORKSHOP
Our workshop services are suspended at present in order to allow our staff the time to undertake the additional tasks that are now required to keep our shop, hire and work area Covid Safe. We will keep this under review and hope to restore normal service as soon as we can. We advise anyone planning on visiting Coed y Brenin to thoroughly check their bike or have it serviced professionally before visiting to in an effort to avoid any mechanical issues as we regret that we will not be able to attend to these in store at present.

Loan tools will be available on site and anyone using these should sanitise them appropriately before use.

Natural Resources Wales have issued some helpful guidance to assist people in planning and making the most of their visit:

For a safe and enjoyable experience, follow these six steps:

1. PLAN AHEAD
Be aware that our visitor centre buildings, cafés, play areas and some toilet facilities are not open yet.

2. KEEP YOUR DISTANCE
Make every effort to maintain the required social distance on our trails.

Take time to read the guidance for each site on our website.

Follow the advice on signs at each location – this will differ from site to site.

3. PARK RESPONSIBLY
Respect the local community by parking responsibly at designated car parks.

Do not park on verges or block emergency access routes.

4. BE PATIENT AND RESPECTFUL
Some sites may be busier than others so be prepared to return home and come back at a quieter time.

5. TREAD LIGHTLY
Respect the plants and wildlife which has thrived over recent weeks.

6. FOLLOW THE COUNTRYSIDE CODE
Follow paths where possible, keep dogs under control, take litter home, leave gates as you find them and don’t block entrances or gateways.
