Carneddau Horseshoe
Details
Distance: 19k
Ascent: 1200m
Undefoot: Mountainous, rocks and single-track
Time:6+ hours
Fitness: Good
Our walk will take in some of the highest peaks in England and Wales, starting from Bethesda, and we will walk up onto the Carneddau mountain range. Taking in Carnedd Llewellyn and Dafydd, as well as some minor summits on the route.
It will be a real mountain experience, spending most of the day well above 600m. It won't be an easy day in terms of walking distance. Please acknowledge that a good level of MOUNTAIN fitness will be required, with sustained ascents towards the start of the day, as well as some sustained descents at the end, sometimes with steep sections. This isn't to disuade, but to ensure everyone is informed on what we will be doing.
The focus will be to have a great day, with fantastic views (weather allowing), with no rushing, but consistent movement throughout.
Please dress accordingly, with snacks, food and water for the day.
