Hiked in winter. 1st December 2022-7th February 2022. Amazing and varied. Pembrokeshire and Anglesey and the Llyn Peninsula were the most rewarding, but the North Wales Coast, South Wales Coast and Meirionnydd were less do. The lack of scenery in Carmarthenshire is made up for by the excellence of the people. The map is 99% good. There are two instances; once in the Ceredigion and once on the SWC where it indicates a long walk along an A road for no discernable reason as both the waymarks and other maps disagree and will take you on the real trail.
Welsh 3000s (Precision Traverse)
Jacob @ Mountain Craft · reviewed 6 days ago
The definitive Welsh 3000s traverse. This verified route follows the classic line starting at Pen y Pass, tackling the famous Crib Goch ridge first, crossing the rocky Glyderau, and finishing on the remote slopes of the Carneddau above Aber Falls. It’s a massive 50km endurance challenge covering 14 summits. While we often use a Bethesda finish on our guided events for logistics, this GPX represents the 'Gold Standard' traditional route. A true test of mountain fitness.
