On this wild camping trip in Snowdonia, you’ll spend two days and two nights in the lesser travelled parts of the Snowdonia National Park, camping out in the wilderness and hiking its more remote mountains. You’ll have a chance to swim in mountain lakes, watch a sunset and, if the weather allows, even camp on a mountain summit.

This is a fantastic introduction to wild camping, something every adventurer needs to try, but we know it but can be a bit daunting at first. Join us on this weekend in Snowdonia for a fully supported introduction and a chance to share our favourite parts of this magnificent landscape.

Friday:

Meet at Euston Station, London to catch the 6 pm train to Snowdonia (included in the price).

We'll camp the night.

Saturday:

We'll head out into the wilderness to explore the best this gem has to offer, traversing beautiful valleys, mountains and even a wild swim if you're keen.

We'll be wild camping under the stars tonight.

Weather permitting, we might even camp on the summit ready for an epic sunrise.

Sunday:

Another day seeking out places less trodden before heading back to the train to ensure we're back to London for around 9 pm.

Is the guide insured?

• Unfortunately not, we offer a competitive and fair price so we can’t offer further discounts.

Is there a discount if I make my own way there or travel from a different starting point?

• Unfortunately not for this trip.
