Snowdonia walking challenge sees four complete entire 35-mile course

Filed under Walking News by Walking Stuff on 23-06-2010

A Snowdonia walking and running challenge was recently completed by 15 members of the Mysteruns of Abergele.

The Rhyl Journal reports that Garry Tann, Austin Bell, Julie Yale and John Humphries all ran the 35-mile section that precedes the beginning of the walk up Mount Snowdon.

Others completed the stretch using a combination of other transport, such as Steve Salt, Andy Roberts and James Salt, who cycled one half and ran the other.

The course begins at Abergele and finishes on the Llanberis pass. Some of the walkers also chose to run part of the 35 miles, meaning there was a mix of ages and abilities taking part.

After this section finishes, the rest of the Mysteruns of Abergele meet up with the runners to start walking up Snowdon.

The youngest is 12-year-old Sam Ogden, who reached the summit in two hours and 15 minutes.

Those who are interested in Snowdonia walking challenges might be encouraged by the organisation’s achievements, particularly given that the mountain stands 1,085 metres above sea level.
