Our group of 14 was a mix of experienced hikers and those who had never thought they could get up Snowdon. We did the Snowdon Challenge. The whole weekend was amazing. From the briefing on the Friday night to the finish on Saturday evening. The guides were brilliant and supported everyone to make it up the mountain. They never made anyone feel they were too slow or should perhaps give up. The whole team delivered a fantastic experience for everyone. Several members of our group had profoundly meanful experiences because they were able to get to the top of Snowdon with the help of the team. Packed lunch, bikes, helmets, kayaks, oars, you name it, it was provided. People who have never done an outdoor activity have said they cannot wait for the next one. Thank you to the whole team, it was brilliant.

Mick, Snowdon Challenge
Had the most amazing time this weekend completing the Snowdon challenge. Cycling, Climbing and Kayaking with the most spectacular views! The organisation was superb from start to finish and no stone was left unturned by the fabulous team. Special thanks to the team for giving the 10 of us some amazing lifelong memories. We are already looking at what next years challenge will be and would love to use you guys again. Thanks for having us
Michael, Snowdon Challenge

Hannah, Snowdon Challenge
We had a great day doing the triple challenge; biking, trekking Mt Snowdon and kayaking. The guides were helpful, organised and knowledgeable. Would thoroughly recommend, very good value for money and a great experience, thank you!
Tasha, Snowdon Challenge
The adventure was so well organised, the accommodation, briefing, equipment and by far the snacks and packed lunch was delicious. Sam, our guide was lovely, both helpful and encouraging. We couldn't of asked for more from you
Lisa, Snowdon Challenge
Amazing trip with memories to last a lifetime! Our guides motivated, uplifted, encouraged and pushed us to the point of outstanding self achievement!
Sarah, Snowdon Challenge
Our Snowdon Triple Challenge was a pleasure from start to finish. They made it very easy for me. I had help with setting up my fundraising pages, to finding the right hotels and to advice on the actual event itself. The communication was brilliant. During the event itself the brief was excellent and the Guide was knowledgeable, friendly and got us all through the challenge. The whole experience was fantastic and one I would definitely recommend.

For those taking the train to Bangor, arrive by 17:00 for your transfer.
For the rest of you lovely lot, be at the Celtic Royal Hotel in Caernarfon for the 18:00 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.
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 the 19km cycle leaving the sea at Caernarfon heading to the shores of Llyn Padarn (Llanberis Lake) 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. On a clear day you can see four kingdoms, 24 counties, 29 lakes and 17 islands!
Celebratory selfie in hand, you'll head back down to glacial lake of Llyn Padarn - one of the largest natural lakes in Wales - for the paddle 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.
You'll most likely be pretty pooped after all that so it's a good idea to take a bit of a break before driving.

Most likely yes. Whilst this is a good challenge, it's mostly 'normal' people (not triathletes or the like) who join on this. And all but a handful manage to complete the full circuit each year. We're not saying that to add any pressure but to let you know that it's very likely you'll do it. It's not about setting any records here. We'll be on hand to offer support every step of the way. There's a support vehicle for the cycle so you can always hop in that if you're really struggling. If the Snowdon climb is proving too tough you can always come down. And for the paddle there's always the option to just pull over to the side...or let your partner take over. Whatever happens you'll be fine. Don't let fear of a lack of fitness stop you. Better to have to tried and failed and all that. If you really want to get round you will.
Snowdon's summit is 1,085 meters tall and there are loads of routes up to top. We take the Snowdon Ranger Path because it's quieter than some of the alternatives. It's also non-technical and fairly steady all the way up. Hundred of thousands of people summit Snowdon every year so if you're determined to make it you have an excellent chance of doing so.
Most definitely. More than half of those on our adventures book on solo. Lots of people will be in the same boat and you'll soon all be pals.
Yes, 18.
In a word, yes. Obviously all outdoor activities carry some degree of risk but it's very low on this one. We've carried out extensive risk assessments and have a highly training team of experienced Mountain Leaders supervising and ready to help out if needed.
The last thing you want when doing a challenge like this is for it to be baking hot. Fortunately, summer temperatures stay pleasant at around 18-20 degrees on average.
Temperatures cool as altitude increases though so you can expect it to be between 3 and 10 degrees colder on the summit.
Of course. It's subject to availability but otherwise you're free to stay as long as you like
Yep, so long as theres availability. There's a supplement of about £50.
You can leave anything you don't need back at the hotel.
This is a great option. All the planning, logistics, and safety are taken care of for you and we've got loads of experience in running these for charity fund raisers
