We had a really great time with our hosts: both professional and friendly we planned our schedule accordingly to our physical condition, level of experience and our moods. It is amazing to see how much effort and enthusiasm these guys put in what they love to do. I am looking forward to coming back soon, enjoy the great locations and the lovely food!

After a very wet first day, the weather certainly improved and overall a great trip. The organisation could not have been better from booking and responding to our concerns and queries and throughout the trip. I love the fact that we were accommodated as individuals to our ability and comfort levels allowing us to feel challenged but not too pressured to affect our enjoyment. I know I wouldn’t have felt comfortable doing the steep scrambles and this was not an issue as we had options of alternative routes. Now looking forward to the next adventure.

the weather was absolutely dreadful. So the fact that I had an absolutely amazing time is all the more impressive!

ITINERARY

DAY 1: ARRIVE AND GET PREPPED

For those taking the train to Bangor, arrive by 18:00 for your transfer.

For the rest of you lovely lot, be in Llanberis for the 19:00 briefing. This is a great opportunity to meet your guides, team mates, and hear a bit more about the plan for your adventure.

Post brief you'll be free to chill the beans ahead of tomorrows big challenge or trundle into town for a wee explore.

DAY 2: BRING IT ON SNOWDON!

Ain't no backin out now!

We'll kick things off with a decent breaky to fuel up for the day then it's off to start this epic.

First up is a cycle 17km from Llyn Padarn to Llyn Cwellyn passing the famous slate mines, rural Welsh farms, and the best scenery this wild country has to offer.

Once reaching the Snowdon Ranger Path it's time for a quick changeover off the bike and into your trekking get up. You and the gang will then pace it up to the summit having earned an unbeatable view (weather permitting) from the highest point in Wales and England. Celebratory selfie in hand, you'll head back down to Llyn Padarn - one of the largest natural lakes in Wales - for the kayaking portion of your challenge.

The final 2.5 mile kayak forms the final push. Emerging from the waters like Poseidon glory is yours. Now it's time for a celebratory tipple and lot's of questioning to try to find out who's idea this crazy challenge was in the first place.
