Went on the Snowdonia weekend trip with City Mountaineering and had an excellent weekend! Started with a hike and scramble up Snowdon via a path less used by other groups, and only saw 2 other hikers until we reached the summit! Spent Sunday walking up Cnicht, or the Welsh Matterhorn. The scenery was beautiful and the route we went on was fun with some small challenges, I.e. scrambling towards the top of the summit. Hardly saw anyone all day and was surprised how there weren’t more ppl exploring this part of Snowdonia NP! The packed lunches, Saturday night pub meal and breakfast and Sunday afternoon cake stop were were all great – I struggled to finish all my food! Would definitely recommend City Mountaineering for weekend hiking trips from London – everything is organised from beginning to end for you, all you have to do is hike and have fun!

The best group for weekend adventures in the mountains – small, well organised and friendly trips. Also days/evenings out rock climbing – Stuart and his team know the best locations, handles all the transport and logistics while remaining relaxed, helpful and encouraging.

I did a weekend trip, hiking up Snowdon one day and then Cnicht on the next. The travel arrangements, stay and the excellent Mountain Leader made it such a memorable experience. Everything was well thought out and organized, with room for change depending on the needs of the group.

Really good trip to snowdonia. Katie was a great leader and managed the hikes so well for the group. Loved the surprise hike in Sunday so we did two summits in one weekend. Also, great wraps!

Fantastic weekend in Snowdonia with Katie and Lou guiding. Local knowledg, learning about the Welsh language and how to pronounce mountain names from Lou was a great bonus. Great planning, pick ups, drop offs, no waiting around. Accommodation was excellent. Most of all the routes we hiked were wonderful, challenging and remote, away from the tourists, routes I’d never do on my own. Thank you and see you on the next one.

I had a great weekend in Wales with Katie and Gemma as guides. We managed to summit Crib Goch in spite of the rainy weather and felt really safe all throughout. Katie and Gemma were both very knowledgeable, experienced and passionate about the mountains. Will definitely repeat.

David and Simon were fantastic mountain leaders who made the weekend very enjoyable. They have extensive knowledge of the great outdoors and they were very welcoming of our predominantly female group. I will definitely book again with City Mountaineering. Thank you to Stuart too for the coordinating and oversight.
