Fund Raising for our Scout Group

Anthony (Scout Leader) will be attempting to complete the Welsh 3000's Challenge on 8th June 2013.

In order to complete the Welsh 3000's Challenge you are required to have been at the top of all 16 of the mountains over 3000 ft in North Wales within the space of 24 hours, without using any form of transport.

The length of the walk is just over 26 miles, but if you include the walk to the start point and down from the finish point it is over 30 miles in total. The route starts at the top of Snowdon and finishes three mountain ranges to the north later on Foel Fras. Around 13,200ft / 4023m of ascent is covered over the route. In order to make the most of daylight hours we will have to start our ascent of Snowdon at around 03:45am on the Saturday morning having travelled from Manchester the previous evening.  The route is:

Snowdon Massif

Snowdon/Yr Wyddfa (1,085 m) Garnedd Ugain/Crib y Ddysgl (1,065 m) Crib Goch (923 m)

Glyderau

Elidir Fawr (924 m) Y Garn (947 m)Glyder Fawr (1,001 m) Castell y Gwynt (972m) Glyder Fach (994 m) Tryfan (918 m)

Carneddau

Pen yr Ole Wen (978 m) Carnedd Dafydd (1,044 m) Carnedd Llewelyn (1,064 m) Yr Elen (962 m) Foel Grach (976 m) Garnedd Uchaf (926 m) Foel-fras (942 m)

A just giving page has been created for on-line donations. (link to page) Alternatively sponsorship forms are available from any of the leadership team - this really is a tough mental and physical challenge, think of it as completing a marathon over 16 mountains in under 24 hours!

All proceeds given to this link will go to Scouts UK, and i have requested that they be passed on to our group for use with future planned trips to the Yr Hafod (Wales) Activity Centre and for some much needed kit!

Please spread the word and encourage people to give generously!

Thank you very much for your support and kindness.
