Eryri meaning “highlands” is a place of high, rugged mountains created by volcanoes, glaciers and tectonics. It’s a place shrouded in myth and legend and a landscape more recently shaped by man.  It receives 1/5th of the visitors that the Lake District receives annually and these are mostly found in the North of the National Park. That said, it’s pretty easy to leave the crowds behind and find yourself alone in this majestic place. 

 It’s a special area with each of its mountain ranges providing something slightly different for the runner.  It offers a wealth of running opportunities from easy going trails to the high mountain environment including lofty knife edge ridges and scrambles of the Snowdon massif (Yr Wyddfa), the Glyderau and Carneddau.  The hand of man is ever present in Snowdonia, from drovers roads that criss-cross the National Park to the slate quarries that pepper the landscape.

It’s also the home of the Paddy Buckley Round, argued by many to be harder than both the Bob Graham Round but less than the Charlie Ramsey Round in Scotland.  It ascends 47 summits, more than the other two and arguably has tougher navigation (anyone who has run the Moelwynion leg will know what we’re talking about!). 

Like the Bob Graham Round,  we have extensive experience of supporting on successful completions and have completed many recces over the years.   Indeed George has a successful completion under his belt (Dan is still thinking about giving it a go!). 

Undertaking one of the three rounds is a massive undertaking, so why not take advantage of the extensive experience and knowledge of the route that we have. 

If that’s not for you we’re also able to provide guiding running activities to suit your ability.
