If you were looking for a spectacular walking adventure this Bank Holiday weekend, then look no further!
2 PLACES LEFT.
Snowdonia to the Gower is one of the most spectacular long distance paths in the UK, covering all the mountainous sights of Wales. The Snowdonia section of this path stretches from Colwyn Bay to Porthmadog, offering amazing views of Snowdonia National Park and tremendous sense of achievement, bypassing Tryfan and encompassing some of the stunning Glyders and Snowdon itself.
We will cover this path in 3 days on our walking holiday and finish in the pretty town of Porthmadog with a well deserved Sunday roast and a pint.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: This walk requires a certain level of fitness. We will be walking between 5 and 7 hours every day in a mountainous terrain. The majority of the walk is in remote areas where mountain rescue without actual emergency will be very costly; please make sure you are fit enough before booking on this challenge.
Kit list: hat, gloves, warm clothes, waterproof jacket and trousers, gaiters, walking trousers, well broken in walking boots, a few pairs of walking socks, comfortable day pack, watter bottle, tea flask, slippers or sandals for the hostels, personal first aid kit, walking poles (optional). A detailed kit list will be emailed closer to departure date.
