Have you ever heard of the Welsh 3000s? If not, these are the highest 15 mountains in Wales over 3000 feet, spread across three mountain ranges: The Snowdon Massif, The Glyderau, and The Carneddau. On this hike you'll be ticking off 2 of the 5 on the Glyderau range: Glyder Fawr (3284ft) Glyder Fach (3261ft) and the famous cantilever stone (yes, that’s where I’m standing in the photo!) We will start in Ogwen before heading up towards Llyn Idwal. As we start to steepen we will pick up the infamous 'Devils Kitchen' before heading up on to the Glyderau. When you get up there, it really does feel like walking on another planet. Jagged rock formations, endless views… and this photo? It’s taken from Glyder Fawr, looking out toward Snowdon. This is a Welsh 3000s hike — so you’ll get to tick off two peaks in your Hiking Passport (which I’ll give you on the day) as part of your 3000s journey. Hike Details: Distance: 7 miles / 12km (approx) Start: 8:00am Duration: 6-7 hours (approx) Elevation: 2,815ft Terrain: This is a rocky route with some scree paths Price: £49 per person MEETING POINT: Ogwen Valley Snack Bar and Toilets What3Words: ///duplicate.suffix.applies Parking: Google Maps Pin: Ogwen Valley Car Parking There are several car parks along this road (this is the last free one - you can park in Ogwen Valley car park which is chargeable if preferred - follow Ogwen Valley YHA for this car park). If you cannot get in this lay-by any of these are sufficient, and we will meet by the cafe. Signal is very poor in this area. We will meet at the dropped pin above. About your guide: Hi, I'm Emily and I'm a qualified and insured Mountain Leader and Level 3 Outdoors First Aid certified. If you know me, you will probably know North Wales is one of my favourite places to go and explore, and there is still so much more I have to do there. I am hugely passionate about bringing women together in a safe space in the outdoors. I know first hand what it can feel like to be overwhelmed by huge groups of new people, that's why my aim is to keep these group walks small, so you can take the time to get to chat and meet likeminded women.
