work continued
to be| ||||||carried out largely
by volunteers.
With| ||||||regard to more specialist maintenance| ||||||work we continue to seek the services of| ||||||local contractors wherever
possible. The| ||||||work they have undertaken
during
the| ||||||year has included
the regular| ||||||maintenance
ofthe fire alarm, and| ||||||emergency
lighting
systems; fire| ||||||appliances;
the annual gas safety| ||||||checks; and drainage
work. Chlorination| ||||||ofthe water supply took place at both| ||||||hostels.| ||||||Tyncornel
hostel achieved 780 overnights| ||||||during the period, compared
with 668 in| ||||||the previous
year. The
Cambrian
Way'| ||||||long distance footpath
on which the| ||||||hostel is located, provided
an increasing| ||||||source ofvisitors. A new shepherd s hut| ||||||was built in the garden, and it now| ||||||provides self-contained
accommodation| ||||||for families, and small groups. The hut| ||||||has its own shower; toilet; a kitchen, and| ||||||dining area; a double bed, and a bed| ||||||settee. The hostel's electrical supply was| ||||||upgraded
to provide additional
capacity| ||||||for the shepherd's
hut, and for a future| ||||||charging
point for electric vehicles. After| ||||||several months of hard work, the hut was| ||||||ready to open at the end of March 2023,| ||||||with several bookings already received.| ||||||One ofthe charitable

applies to| ||||||individual
bookings,
has been extended| ||||||to the new shepherd
s hut.| ||||||Routine maintenance
and testing ofthe| ||||||hostel s infrastructure,
and safety| ||||||systems were also performed.
Repairs| ||||||were carried out to the eaves at the front| ||||||ofthe hostel. The unclassified
