Our next mental health wellbeing and support event is going ahead this Sunday. Unfortunately after the last two amazing cold water dips and strolls we've had to have a change up this week.

Due to extreme high winds the safe bet is to stay indoors. But that doesn't mean we won't be active on Sunday. Myself and boxing coach Jamie Edwards will be putting on a little team building and light boxing circuit at my old Gym The Pound MMA / Steelworks Fitness

Shoutout to Gaz Stalman and the team for offering us use of the matts & Gym for a couple of hours to keep us moving.

Gaz has only asked for a donation to be made to Mind. We Apreciate the support from a local business 🤍

To confirm you're coming please sing up via my website for all the details. https://www.hikingsnowdonia.co.uk/group-hiking-trips

We need to start taking these mountains more seriously….

I seem to be seeing a growing number of accidents and reports of people just getting lost on the mountains and not being able to find the paths in cloud and fog.

With winter season fast approaching and 2021 being a lot of people's 1st time on the hills, now would be a good time to learn some basic mountain safety and navigation skills.
There are plenty of people running courses in person or online and its finally ML Assessment next week 🙌🏼 so keep your fingers crossed 🤞 for me!

After that I will be taking bookings for 1-1 Hill days, personalised hikes, group days, and everything in between! 👏🏼 Just get in touch and we can put together something special 😊

So last week chris from the North of England got intouch to ask if I could help him complete the glyderau range, after speaking to him I decided this was a perfect night for him to experiance his 1st night hike and wild camp on a Mountain 🙌

We walked through the night from 7:00pm until 2am over elidir fawr, y garn, glyder fawr & glyder fach before finally getting a couple of hours sleep before the summer solstice sunrise and it was a cracker!!

Worth every second and every step in the dark! 🙌
