We ran a successful Open Gold Expedition this summer with 2 teams in Snowdonia.  The practice was in the Brecon Beacons.  The locations are chosen by the participants.  Previous qualifying expeditions have taken place in Brecon Beacons, Mid Wales, Peak District and the Yorkshire Dales.  Planning for the Gold expedition next year will start in December/January.  If you are interested please contact us ASAP.
