Welsh 3000s Preparation Day

Welsh 3000s Preparation Day 2026 Open Group Dates: • Bank Holiday Monday 6th April 2026 • Sunday 3rd May 2026 £85 per person | Small Group Coaching | Guaranteed to Run Our Welsh 3000s Preparation Days are designed for those signed up for (or considering) our 24-hour or 3-day challenges. While not a mandatory requirement, this day provides a vital opportunity to familiarise yourself with the technical crux of the route and experience a significant day of elevation gain under professional guidance. CORE OBJECTIVES • The Crib Goch Traverse: We tackle the infamous knife-edge ridge, generally considered the technical "crux" of the Welsh 3000s. A 24-hour challenge is not the ideal place to learn scrambling; this day allows you to cross it comfortably and build the necessary confidence. • Vertical Training: We aim for a total elevation gain of at least 2000m. Usually based in the Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) range, this gives you a realistic benchmark for your fitness and a taste of what a major mountain day feels like. • Expert Q&A: You will spend the day with Jacob, the lead guide for our Welsh 3000s events. Use this time to quiz him on everything from logistics and nutrition to kit choice and pacing. EXCLUSIVE ADD ON You have the option to add an exclusive, discounted Casgliad Welsh 3000s art print to your booking. Select this as an Optional Add On during the checkout process to secure this high-quality commemorative piece at our special client rate.
