This video will help you plan your trip. It is a bit more dry and lengthy ... but hey, planning is rarely sexy.
What is it all about?
The Welsh 3000 is a challenge to be on top of the 15 highest peaks of Wales (all above 3000 feet) on foot within 24h.
1. When and how long?
Around 21 of June
3-5 days to allow for flexibility with weather and acclimatization
2. How to get there
Easiest from abroad, plane to Liverpool or Manchester and take a rental car
Easiest from within UK with your own car

Multiple YHA in the area. I recommend snowden pass or ranger
4. About the route
Walk SW to NE
3 sections
3 difficult bits (Crib Goch, down before Triffan, Triffan)
Take a GPX track with you (if you cannot find it, I have one .. or extract mine from Strava)

All in one go, starting at 02:30 at Snowden car park (recommended)
Sleep on top and start early
Take the train, start around 14:00, sleep at camp ground or YHA after section 2 and then finish the next day

Travel light, but save
