    Grace , you did amazing! Have just done it myself although my times are not as good as yours. Solo hill walking is a challenge in itself, but one that is so satisfying. well done

    It’s awesome that, not only did you complete the challenge which is a feat in itself, but you must have had to retrace your steps several times to retrieve your camera!

      I just started doing wild camping and hikes myself now, it’s amazing how much you can push yourself more, not a scary as I thought. Outdoor heaven love it 😍 will see more of your adventures, thanks for sharing xx

    Mount Snowdon did that once. We got lost in the poring rain and couldn't quite get to the top, then we had to slowly climb down again. That would have been around 21 years ago, I think. Good memories 😁.

    @wildernesstraining1957 3 года назад +2

    Loved this! What an amazing challenge, and all by yourself. Most admirable!
    Having to drive between mountains makes it seem almost harder. Psychologically at least. Well done lady.
    I’ll be attempting for the third time tomorrow, to jog continuously for one mile. Stem cell transplant six months ago has left me with the greatest of challenges to get fit again. Never known anything like it it in my life.
    Great stuff!

  • @marka.denham6858
    @marka.denham6858 3 года назад

    So we did it anyway. Our total time on the mountains was 6 hours 52 mins (think it is a new record from what I can tell) total time of event with entire driving was 12 hours 15 mins. We were quite impressed with that, but also well done to you again Grace. After doing this you also know how it feels and how deep you have to dig. I n truth it was magnificent and the views and weather was ace. Cadar was tough though.

      Watkin path is definitely the biggest slog of all the routes up Snowdon, it's no Sunday stroll that's for sure!

    @hsaurid 3 года назад +7

    Good hike, Grace! On the sore knees, consider using hiking poles which will offer more support for your legs. This may also help alleviate or reduce sore lower back. How you’re packing and strapping on your daysack may also help towards reducing any potential back pain. Thank you and looking forward to vicariously participating in your next excursion. Cheers!

Great vid again Grace :-)

    Views from Snowdon reference
    One year I did Snowdon 14 times and only got a view from the top once.
    You can sometimes be in pelting rain on Snowdon and drop down to Llanberis where its bone dry.

    How funny that I'm just getting into walking/hiking and this video pops up! We (me and the dog) are doing Snowdonia in September so we're getting some practice in before then, doing our first hill tomorrow (too small to be a mountain apparently), but you never know this could be me one day! Fab video can't wait to see more.

    • @GracesAdventures

    @maggi666 3 года назад

    Wowwww well done girl 💪💪💪 We did 2 Snowdon tracks in July and were 70 & 72. One on that hottest day of the year, phewwww and the second 3 days later in heavy rain! Were now avid mountain peak hikers and have just bought a small tent & gear to start basic camping, then onto wild camping! We used to do big tent camping when our kids were little but basic camping is so much more fun! Plus the tents are now so light! Were so excited! I have subscribed to your chanel and will catch up on your past adventures!

I’m 48 and will have to get in better shape but I want to do this next year. Thank you!

    @hendrikvanzyl3923 3 года назад

    Wow very beautiful mountains I'm from south Africa in the western cape mountains are alot different and also love doing some solo hikes but I like the lakes and the grass pastures here it is very bushy and Rocky and challenging but every mountain has his own individual beauty. Did a 4 peak challenge myself once heights from 1450 to 1500m and 35km later. It was grueling but very nice so happy that you made it and love I love the scenery alot. Have a nice day

  • @jamesgreen1561

    gggaaaaahhh!! So wonderful! I've been in Spain for quite a few years now and there is nothing I miss more than those misty, cloudy, squelchy and soggy mountains. Thanks for letting me see them again like that, and here's hoping my deteriorating hips and knees will get me up them again some time soon. (and you definitely don't look 3.5m tall in the videos. funny how that works...)
    Anyway... well done you.

    Good job on the 3. All you need to do now is, the Welsh 3000s. The 14 Peaks Challenge in 24 Hours. It is the Snowdonia extended ridge adventure. Traverse the three main mountain ranges, the Snowdon Massif, the Glyderau and the Carneddau. Summit all of Snowdonia's peaks over 3000ft in 24 hours, from Snowdon to Foel Fras. Its good fun and a great challenge.
