Itinerary
Day 1: Meet at hotel in Caernarfon
We meet in the late afternoon at the hotel in Caernarfon. Once the whole team have arrived there will be a trip briefing to prepare you for tomorrow’s challenge. Then you’re free to arrange your own dinner, either in the hotel or somewhere else in town, before getting a good night’s sleep.
Dinner not included.
Day 2: Challenge Day
After a good breakfast, we meet out the front of the hotel for 8 00am. Here you’ll be split into teams, allocated your bike and have a final safety briefing before jumping in the saddle to start the challenge. You pedal a stunning route from the picturesque coastline, past the historic Caernarfon Castle before winding your way through the back door into Snowdonia National Park. Your journey takes you along beautiful cycle paths and through the rolling Welsh countryside and quaint villages with the peak of Snowdon looming in the distance.
Arriving at the base of the mountain you’ll swap your bikes for boots, collect your homemade packed lunch and begin your ascent of the highest peak in England & Wales, the mighty Snowdon at 1085m. You’ll ascend via one of the quieter routes, the Snowdon Ranger Path on the west side of the mountain which carves its way through picturesque farmlands, past beautiful lakes and then follows the ridgeline all the way to the summit. On reaching the peak, there’s time for a victory photo and a quick breather before your descent to the northwest via the more gradual Llanberis Path, finishing in Llanberis itself.
The grand finale of the day will see you paddling around Llyn Padarn completing a large circuit of the lake, to smash through the finish line and celebrate with a glass of bubbles with your fellow challengers.
Once all the kit is packed away, we’ll transfer you back to your cars at the hotel for a final farewell before you all depart for home.
Cycle approx 16 miles; Trek approx 9 miles & Kayak approx 2.5 miles
