Guided Adventures | The Welsh 3000s
The key to succeeding with a challenge as tough as the Welsh 3000s is knowing the entire route beforehand. Not only does this ensure that you ascend and descend in the most efficient ways but if the weather blows in, or night draws in you are still able to confidently find your way.
I will show you the best way to get up on to the Carneddau, find each peak even in very low visibility, and then once we reach the last one, make sure you know how to descend down to the car park without getting lost (when you do the actual challenge you will be exhausted by this point, and it'll probably be night time).
I will make sure that you're able to pace yourself properly over this long, sprawling section and avoid potential injuries and problems so that you can hopefully get a really good time when you come to do the whole thing.

Just the fact that you are reccying a Welsh 3000s attempt suggests that you are already in pretty good shape and have adequate experience on the mountains but just in case, it's worth saying that to make the most of this day you should be in decent shape and have adequate experience on the mountains.
Basic map reading skills are a must as well.
