www.yourcompany.com 1 WELCOME CROESO

Overview Are you ready for an epic mountain adventure embracing rugged mountains of Snowdonia in winter? Covering 7 of Snowdonia’s renowned mountains, this journey will take you through spectacular landscapes and test your mettle on a tough 3-day adventure. While the winter conditions can add extra challenges in the mountains, it also offers a great opportunity to develop your knowledge of the environment and experience the raw beauty of the Welsh peaks amidst a serene and stunning setting.

Previous winter walking experience is not essential, however a good level of fitness and mountain trekking experience is recommended. The weather can be extreme, so you’ll need to be prepared for all conditions. Please note, some routes and mountains may become impassable and unsafe. On these occasions an alternative route will be taken. The aim of this trek is to experience Snowdonia in winter in a safe and enjoyable manner plus get an understanding of the environment, the local people and way of life and learn some winter trekking skills. It’s not a winter mountaineering or skills weekend per se. Due to the shorter daylight hours, we aim to finish around 3.30pm and enjoy a hot tea & cake in a local cafe. So whether you’re a solo trekker or part of a small group, we're really excited to welcome you to Snowdonia and showcase the very best of this amazing environment in winter time.

We’re here to help, support and guide you as much as you need. TOP TIPS Winter trekking

• Dress the part and layer up – base layer, insulating layer and shell. Base layer that wicks perspiration away from your skin (merino wool base layers are ideal), a mid layer that insulates you from the cold and a shell layer that keeps wind and moisture out • Ensure you have water-proof stiff soled hiking boots that are well worn in • Wear synthetic or merino wool socks that fit well. Thicker socks provide more insulation, but make sure they don’t cause your boots to fit too tight. It’s also important to keep your feet dry, so have an extra pair of socks to change into. • Train in your trekking kit. Including your hiking boots & socks and wearing of your daypack with weight inside, in varying weather conditions so you know your kit is both suitable and comfortable for your big challenge • Have two bags – a daypack for the trek with your trekking kit (waterproofs, warm layers, packed lunch, snacks, water, first aid, factor 50 sunscreen & any medication). And your main luggage/duffle style bag with all your other items which you can leave at the hotel • Pack your kit inside a dry bag just in case • Wear lightweight or midweight fleece gloves under waterproof shell • When it’s cold, you might be less inclined to stop for food and water. Make it simple by keeping snacks and water within reach so you can eat and sip regularly throughout the trek • Bring your favourite high calorie snacks. Remove as much packaging as possible before taking it on the trek (less litter to carry) • Bring your own water bottle, a Water-to-Go bottle is ideal, plus a camelbak./platypus that you can refill and avoid plastic bottles • Be respectful of the local communities, the people, the weather and the environment • Most importantly……SMILE & ENJOY THE ENTIRE EXPERIENCE www.yourcompany.com 11 WHY ADVENTUREOUS EWE
