I will definitely be doing more challenges with these guys!” Paul, 2018 ​ Tackle all fifteen peaks in Wales above 3000 feet in under 24 hours - this is the Welsh 3000s, one of the ​ ​ most iconic challenges in the UK. This incredible 42km adventure is an unforgettable journey on two feet through the wild landscape of Snowdonia National Park. The official challenge is completed in under 24 hours, but we think completing it in any time should be on everyone’s bucket list! It is a fully guided and supported event, allowing you to focus on the epic scenery of this unique region of the UK. Highlights ● The breathtaking mountain scenery of Snowdonia National Park ● Embracing the physical challenge of tackling fifteen mountains ● Experiencing the awe-inspiring wilderness and beauty of North Wales ● Sharing the adventure of a lifetime with your other team members ● Completing a unique iconic mountain challenge ● Encountering the wild ponies of the Carneddau, our favourite mountain residents Itinerary Our route begins from the popular Pen y Pas car park at the top of the Llanberis Pass.

  • Yr Wyddfa I Foel Fras Mewn Diwrnod
    Yr Wyddfa i Foel Fras mewn diwrnod Challenges can be considered a bit naff, and I’d agree being in the hills isn’t just about proving or conquering. But sometimes the thought of doing something just gets in your head and gnaws away. Shane and I had our first go at the Welsh 3000s last year and after all it is a magnificent line. You simply start at one end and string together all the 3000ft tops until you’ve got to the top of all 14 (or is it 15), following a meandering but satisfying succession of ridges and whaleback plateaus. Everyone knows the Snowdon horseshoe, the round of the Glyders and the Carneddau, each a straight forward day walk so linking them appeals just as a logical thing to do. Our first attempt got us to Ogwyn. That was the point when we both realised that perhaps it wasn’t that easy. Forty kilometers is fair enough, but actually you need to go up and down 4000m and then also add on a couple of 6k walks at the start and end. What Finlay Wild does in 4 hours translates into considerably more of a challenge for most middle aged punters. The frustrating thing was that after the first go at we both knew we had got pretty close. Although in terms of distance Ogwyn is only half way, you realise that once at the top of Pen Y Ole Wen the major difficulties are over. And that’s why it was gnawing away, we were keen to try again.

    THIS LIST MAY BE FREELY DISTRIBUTEDAND REPRODUCED PROVIDING THAT THE INFORMATION IS NOT MODIFIED , AND THAT ORIGINAL AUTHORS ARE GIVEN CREDIT . N O INDIVIDUAL OR ORGANIZATION MAY MAKE FINANCIAL GAIN IN DOING SO WITHOUT EXPRESS PERMISSION OF MUD AND ROUTES MOUNTAINS OF WALES A L IST WELSH AND SIX HUNDRED IN STATURE (WASHIS) PB7 2 What are the WASHIS? Well, Scotland has it’s Munros (among others) and the Lakes have their Wain- rights. Wales doesn’t have a list of summits in it’s own right. While there are hills known as Nualls, they are not specific to Wales and include an ever in- creasing list of summits with 30 metres drop all around, making for a long list. It is also rather patronising for the Welsh and English hills (which I do not con- cern myself with here) to be included with that of a neighbouring country. Some lists also sck to the old imperial figure of 2000 feet making a mountain, or 610 metres, which really is rather clumsy in metric. Washis are all the hills in Wales that are over 600m and have at least 50 me- tres drop all around. Some notable tops have not made it into the main list, including some of the tradional ‘3000 Footers’. There are some other sum- mits missing from the list. Y Garn on the Nantlle ridge for one, an excellent viewpoint or Bera Mawr, an excellent lile scramble to the summit tor. Fan Y Big in the Beacons fails to make it too. Just because they’re not on the list, doesn’t mean they’re not worth vising.
