Women's Adventure Club - Carneddau Horseshoe

Women’s Adventure Club- Carneddau Horseshoe

Saturday Septmeber 19th 9:00am | 5:00pm

Join our Women’s Adventure Club for a lovely day hiking in the Carneddau. 

This guided walk takes you over the often over looked but very beautiful Carneddau mountain range and on this journey you will summit the peaks of Pen yr Helgi Du (833m), Carnedd Llewelyn (1064m), Carnedd Dafydd (1044m) and Pen yr Ole Wen (978m).

Walking alongside an experienced and knowledgeable mountain guide and a comfortable pace, you will complete one of the best, but often unseen, circular walks in Snowdonia. This walk will take you away from the busy touristy areas and show you one of the more beautiful sides to Eryri National Park.

The company is always lovely and the environment always supportive.
