Very well organised Welsh 3000s Challenge long week-end, from Thursday evening train from London, camping set up, hikes with Katie and Gareth -very knowledgeable guides- meals and amazing time with landscapes I would have never seen on my own! Loved it. To be honest I wasn’t expecting it to be anything new, surprising or even really challenging but it ticked all the boxes and all in such a great atmosphere with the group (we all had a fairly good level of fitness which made it much more interesting) and the awesome guides. I didn’t know City Mountaineering and thought I would give it a try. The fact that all the logistic is handled for you is a massive plus. Very professional while keeping a relaxed atmosphere and really nice organisers. Will definitely be back!

Just back from Welsh 3000ers with City Mountaineering led by Katie and Chris. Chuffed with what we achieved in little over 48 hours. We had some challenges along the way and the leaders dealt with everything smoothly and calmly and we were well looked after. Very impressed as this was the first time they organised Welsh 3000. Overall it made this massive challenge such a rewarding and fun experience. Thank you !
