Many have climbed Mount Snowdon, but few have scaled the famous Welsh peak overnight.
But that is the incentive for East Cheshire Hospice supporters who sign up to the Hospice’s latest challenge.
The nine-mile trek takes place over the weekend of August 2/3 next year.
An overnight Snowdon trek is the challenge facing East Cheshire Hospice supporters.
The reward for walkers as they reach the summit is a breathtaking view of the sun rising across Snowdonia National Park and the changing colours of the peaks as dawn breaks.
Experienced mountain guide leaders will assist trekkers every step of the way with safety the No 1 priority on a walk described as ‘challenging’ by organisers.
Places can be booked by visiting www.eastcheshirehospice.org.uk/events/trek-2025/
Registration is £45 and a minimum of £330 must be raised in sponsorship.
Participants will get a hot buffet at a hotel in Llanberis before a 1 am registration and briefing.
The ascent using the Llanberis Path starts at 2 am and takes between three and four hours.
