A new event for our 2009 adventure portfolio, The Red Dragon Raid involves summiting 14 of the Welsh peaks over 3000ft over a two day period. Teams will be guided by one of our local Mountain Leaders throughout.
This event was developed for the Anthony Nolan Trust and takes place in Snowdonia on September 4th - 6th 2009. Bespoke events are also available on request.
Day One
Teams will be transported to the start at Pen y Pass, before ascending the Pyg track to the summit of Snowdon (1085m). The route then takes in Garnedd Ugain (1065m), past Clogwyn Station on the Snowdon railway, before descending down Cwm Hetiau to the village of Nant Peris, where food and refreshments await! With the Snowdon Massif under your belt you will cross the A4086 where the Glyderau await.
Elidir Fawr (924m) is the first challenge before contouring round Bwlch Y Brecan to Y Garn (947m). The route then takes you past Llyn y Cwn to the summit of Glyder Fawr (999m), then Glyder Fach (994m) before heading towards the final peak of the day, Tryfan (915m).
A challenging descent takes you down to the road where transport will be waiting to take you back to base camp, where a hot shower and food await. Teams will overnight here under canvas.
Day Two
Transport will take teams back to the base of Tryfan, to tackle the Carneddau section of the Raid.
From here the first challenge is Pen Yr Ole Wen (978m) before heading over to Carnedd Dafydd (1044m). A slight detour from the ridge line takes you to Yr Elen (962m) before heading back to summit Carnedd Llewelyn (1064m). The route then takes teams over Foel Grach (976m), Garnedd Uchaf (926m) and Foel Fras (942m), before dropping down from the ridge line to Aber, where your transport awaits!
