Range West Briefing Dates for 2024

Posted by Thomas Carrick on 27/11/2023

Castlemartin is on Pembrokeshire Coast National Park (PCNPA) land, and is a popular climbing destination. After one of the busiest years in climbing at the Ranges in Pembroke, the briefing dates have now been published for 2024. _______________________________________________________________ Mae Castellmartin ar dir Parc Cenedlaethol Arfordir Penfro (APCAP), ac mae’n gyrchfan ddringo boblogaidd. Ar ôl un o’r blynyddoedd prysuraf mewn dringo yn y Ranges ym Mhenfro, mae’r dyddiadau briffio bellach wedi’u cyhoeddi ar gyfer 2024.

All visitors to Range West must attend a robust access briefing before entering the area.

Do not enter the danger area when the range is in use, this is a danger to life. Learn more about accessing MOD training areas safely.

Changes to firing times and road closure can happen without notice. Please phone 01646 662367 from 8.15am for daily updates.

2023 saw the the most attendees at Range West Briefings making it a busy year for the South Pembroke climbing scene.

The BMC asks climbers to continue to check for bird restrictions on the Regional Access Data Base (RAD) before climbing and to also assess the routes before hand. The nesting patterns of many bird species are increasingly unpredictable. If you notice a bird nesting without any specified restrictions, kindly report it to the local BMC access volunteer, Steve Quinton or the park authority.


Briefings will continue at Castlemartin base on the following dates:

  • Thursday 11th January 2024 at 18.00
  • Saturday 10th February 2024 at 09.00
  • Friday 29th March 2024 at 09.00
  • Thursday 11th April 2024 at 18.00
  • Saturday 25th May 2024 at 09.00
  • Thursday 6th June 2024 at 18.00
  • Saturday 13th July 2024 at 09.00

Additional Non-Firing Dates:

  • 16th December 2023 – 7th January 2024
  • 22nd March – 7th April 2024
  • August 2024

U18's will not be permitted onto the Range even with a adult or guardian. No pets will be permitted onto the Range either. 

Please arrive in plenty of time to attend. Last year's Easter briefing was full and couldn't accommodate any more attendees.

Rhaid i bob ymwelydd â Range West fynychu sesiwn friffio mynediad gadarn cyn dod i mewn i'r ardal.
 
Peidiwch â mynd i mewn i'r man perygl pan fydd yr ystod yn cael ei ddefnyddio, mae hyn yn berygl i fywyd. Dysgwch fwy am gael mynediad diogel i ardaloedd hyfforddi'r Weinyddiaeth Amddiffyn.
 
Gall newidiadau i amseroedd tanio a chau ffyrdd ddigwydd heb rybudd. Ffoniwch 01646 662367 o 8.15am i gael diweddariadau dyddiol.
 
Yn 2023 gwelwyd y nifer fwyaf o fynychwyr yn Range West Briefings gan ei gwneud yn flwyddyn brysur i olygfa ddringo De Penfro.
 
Mae'r BMC yn gofyn i ddringwyr barhau i wirio am gyfyngiadau adar ar y Gronfa Ddata Mynediad Rhanbarthol (RAD) cyn dringo ac i asesu'r llwybrau ymlaen llaw hefyd. Mae patrymau nythu llawer o rywogaethau adar yn gynyddol anrhagweladwy. Os sylwch ar aderyn yn nythu heb unrhyw gyfyngiadau penodol, rhowch wybod i wirfoddolwr mynediad lleol y BMC neu awdurdod y parc.

Bydd sesiynau briffio yn parhau yng nghanolfan Castellmartin ar gyfer diwedd 2023 ac i mewn i 2024. Ar y dyddiadau canlynol:

  • Dydd Iau, 11eg Ionawr, 2024 18.00
  • Dydd Sadwrn, 10fed Chwefror, 2024 09.00
  • Dydd Gwener, 29ain Mawrth, 2024 09.00
  • Dydd Iau, 11eg Ebrill, 2024 18.00
  • Dydd Sadwrn, 25 Mai 2024, 09.00
  • Dydd Iau, 6ed Mehefin, 2024 18.00
  • Dydd Sadwrn, 13eg Gorffennaf, 2024 09.00

Dyddiadau Peidio â Thanio Ychwanegol:

  • 16 Rhagfyr 2023 – 7 Ionawr 2024
  • 22 Mawrth – 7 Ebrill 2024
  • Awst 2024

Ni chaniateir i rai dan 18 fynd ar y Maes Tanio hyd yn oed gydag oedolyn neu warcheidwad. Ni chaniateir anifeiliaid anwes ar y Maes Tanio chwaith.

Cofiwch gyrraedd mewn digon o amser i fynychu. Roedd sesiwn friffio'r Pasg y llynedd yn llawn ac ni allai ddarparu ar gyfer rhagor o fynychwyr.
