reviews

Just returned from a 3 day intro to ski touring. Was some of the best days skiing i've ever had. The guide was great, friendly and knowledgable. I look forward to going on another trip next year to learn more :)

Barny C, Intro to Ski Touring

A number of work colleagues and I did the National 3 Peaks recently, organised through Call to Adventure and we couldn't have asked for a better experience! We were put up in very suitable accommodation and looked after throughout by the support staff and guides on the mountains. Although the weather beat us - it was an unforgettable experience for all involved!

Ben C, National Three Peaks

Was the exceptional experience! Loved the morning view near the lake, Snowdonia is magical. All worth it!

Olga L, Wild Camping Snowdonia

A really well organised trip. Would use Call to Adventure again, they have a great ethos.

Nick R, National Three Peaks

Really great trip. Very well organized and our guide was fantastic. Beautiful countryside. I would definitely highly recommend this trip

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.
