Welsh 3000ers Challenge - Includes return train travel from London!

**BANK HOLIDAY WEEKEND!**
**Just two spaces now available**
*Current Group: 5 female, 1 male (all solo travellers)*

Join an exclusive club to reach the summit of all mountains in Wales above 3,000ft in a single weekend.

--------
Replacing the National 3-Peaks Challenge (As a part of our mission to organise environmentally sustainable mountain adventures, we aim to minimise traffic congestion and road pollution) we introduce to you the Welsh 3000ers Challenge!
FACT: Driving the National 3-Peaks Challenge, in one weekend, emits over 9% of the carbon that a typical person uses in an entire year!
--------

This is a tough challenge that is aimed at people with good mountain fitness.

This trip is limited to a small group of just 8 people, supported by 2 qualified and experienced mountain leaders.

Starting on Snowdon, you’ll traverse the mighty Crib Goch ridge before descending to your campsite for the night.

On day two you will head up and over the Glyderau range, reaching the summit of the highest peaks (including the mighty Tryfan!) before descending to your second campsite for a night of rest (your kit will be trasferred to the next campsite for you, so you wont need to carry heavy packs)

Waking up early on day 3, you will hike up a ridge to the summit of Pen yr Ole Wen before continuing along the Carneddau plateau.

The challenge is complete when you reach the summit of Foel Fras followed by a descent to the valley floor.

As always, we’ll sort out the travel, accommodation and most of the food (the pubs can do the rest!) so just meet in London and leave the rest to us.
