Clyne Farm Centre and Clyne Estate are situated on the gateway
to The Gower Peninsula. Once the Home Farm for the Clyne Castle
Estate, the centre offers self catering accommodation in converted
cottages and barns (2- 51 persons). On the main site there are
seven cottages sleeping from 2 up to 14 persons in each. There are
also three camping fields accommodating 30-40 pitches. Camping
prices are:- ages 6 to adult £5.00 per person per night, under
5s free. Sorry the site is unable to take caravans or motorhomes.
Please contact the centre to arrange your booking.
Dogs are allowed but due to the resident animals must be kept on a
lead at all times.
Available on site are a wide range of activities such as horse
riding, archery, climbing, canoeing, rock hopping (coasteering),
gorge walking (canyoning) and team building courses. Home of the
muddiest assault course in the world! Activities are open to
residents and non-residents alike. The centre enjoys stunning
panoramic views over Swansea Bay and Mumbles. With Clyne Valley
Country Park and Clyne Golf Club framing it's borders, the centre
has easy access to the city of Swansea and the old fishing village
of Mumbles, together with Gower's spectacular and beautiful
beaches.

During the event we will be
encouraging the use of a specific channel on PMR 446 walkie talkies
so that groups and individuals can keep in touch with each other
both while out and about and also at the event location itself
where we will be monitoring the channel throughout the
day.
The channel used for the event will be channel 3, CTCSS (privacy
code) 33. In order to be able to join in, you’ll need to have
one of the commonly available 8 channel walkie talkies that can be
bought in many locations from supermarkets to electronic hardware
stores. It is important however that you ensure that the
radio you use is also equipped to provide the 38 privacy
sub-channels as some of the cheapest radios don’t have this
enhancement. Other than this, almost any of these radios will
do. Unlike many radio platforms, there’s no formal protocol
needed to use these radios – no call signs, CB slang or any
other “radio talk” is required, though some may adopt
their caching names as identities!
If you’re unsure about investing in a radio (typically they
can be bought for upwards of £30 a pair), but would like to
have a go to see how useful these can be when out and about with a
group, I have a couple spare radios that I can lend to people to
try out during the event.

An informal “bring your
own” barbeque will be held at the campsite on Saturday
evening, giving everyone a chance to chill out and catch up stories
of the days activities over a drink or two.
Some of the text and Images used in this listing have been
shamlessly stolen from the listing for the 2008 event and I would
like to Thank Jonathon ( Zetetic ) for this. |
