More Information...
The aim of this event is to hike up Snowdon, the highest mountain in Wales! We will be ascending the Pyg Track which is 5.5 KM long, with 2,600ft of ascent thrown in for good measure! If all goes well we will reach the iconic summit where you will be able to feast on some of the finest views in the UK. We will then descend the easier Miners Path to finish the walk.
There is no doubt about it, this will be a tough challenge, but that sensation of standing on the summit of Snowdon will make it all worthwhile, as well as raising vital funds for charity in the process.
