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.

Fitness Level

Couch-to-5kUltra machine
Steady day of activity: a Moderate 8–10 hr push. Comfortable hill-walkers will be fine.

Comfort vs Grit

Hotel duvetSleeping in a ditch
Hotel bed, hot shower and pub grub – but expect Welsh weather and sweaty effort.

Adventure Buzz

Chilled strollFull-throttle
Multi-sport, summit views and a kayak finale – enough adrenaline without needing tech skills.

Team Vibes

Me-timeBig crew energy
Private booking only – you bring the crew, we supply the adventure.
How to Prepare
Get out walking on hilly ground; back-to-back 4–5 hr hikes are ideal. Add a weekly spin-class or cycle commute for leg stamina, and short rowing-machine bursts for paddle fitness. Break in boots, pack light layers, and arrive well-fed, well-hydrated and ready to smash it.

Sorting a group trip feels like herding cats?

We handle beds, bikes, boats and guides—just name the date, gather the gang and turn up.

Take it at your pace
You’ll never be pushed faster than the slowest happy walker. We finish as a team – together.
