This is the third video in the series. The other two are linked at the end.

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

3. Where to stay?
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)

5. Walking strategy
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

6. Packing
Travel light, but save
2 liters of water
1kg of food
