Welsh 3000s

There are 15 peaks in Wales over 3000ft (914m), all of them in the Northern part of Snowdonia, and close enough together to do a long walk over all of them. This is about 50km, involving about 3500 metres of ascent.

The peaks are spread across three mountain groups, or massifs: the Snowdon massif, Glyderau and Carneddau. With each massif requiring ascending, and then descending, ~1000 meters.

The club runs a trip each year for people attempting this challenge, normally around Easter-time. On the trip we run two check points, the first at Nant Peris, and the second at Ogwen. At these points we provide supplies of food and water, along with moral boosting encouragement to help the walkers on their way.
