Reach the summit with Simon

Our Snowdon trek will take place on Saturday 3rd September. Starting before 5pm, we'll reach the summit as the sun sets. On our route down, we'll 'light up for Simon' with glowsticks and head torches, as we take on the challenge of descending in the dark.

Frequently Asked Questions

How fit do I need to be?

Climbing a mountain is strenuous and you'll need a reasonable level of fitness to take on Snowdon. You'll need to be fit enough to do a full day of hill walking for 8 hours. We recommend checking with your doctor before signing up if you're at all concerned. 

Do I need specialist kit?

Yes. A full kit list will be provided when you have registered, and we highly recommend you carry the mandatory items listed. If you would like to receive a full kit list before registering, please get in touch.

Can I bring my dog?

Unfortunately not. We are not insured for our four-legged friends to join the trek.

What support is there on the day?

We will be joined by experienced mountain guides from Kuta Outdoors, who will fully support and guide us on the day.

How do I get to Snowdon on the day?

Participants will need to make their own way to Snowdon for the event.

I don't want to drive back. Where can I stay in Snowdon?

We recommend the Royal Victoria Hotel, located close to the start and end of the route.

I'm worried I won't meet the minimum sponsorship, any advice?
