welsh 3000s The Welsh 3000s – a 25-mile walk over 15, 3,000ft-high peaks – is said to be more advanced than other mountain challenges due to a relatively complicated route.

The challenge can be booked online and options for transport, food and mountain leaders are available. Details: www.welsh3000s.com
