Guided by the light of our headtorches\, we’ll steadily gain height as we make our way towards the upper mountain. Eventually the darkness begins to fade\, the horizon starts to glow and the mountains surrounding us slowly appear\, giving a chance to pause\, reflect\, remember and celebrate the people who means so much to us. \nAfter taking in the morning views\, we’ll continue our journey before descending back towards Rhyd Ddu – with the rest of the day still ahead of us. \nYou can walk with your family\, bring a group of friends\, or take on the challenge on your own and find comfort in being part of a supportive group. \nWe ask that everyone who joins the trek pledges to raise a minimum amount. For adults this is £200 and for those joining us who are under 18\, £60.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space height=”20px”]\n		\n            Sign up today                    \n\n	[/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row theme_background=”theme-row theme-stroked-edge” full_width=”stretch_row” css=”.vc_custom_1760610385531{margin-bottom: 0px !important;background-color: #d3efed !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1790674548525{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”] \nThe challenge\nThe Sunrise Trek will take you to the summit of Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa)\, standing 1\,085m above sea level. \nWe’ll be guided throughout the trek by experienced mountain leaders\, alongside the Acorns team who will be joining. \nThe trek is suitable for a range of experience levels\, from regular walkers to those taking on a mountain challenge for the first time. You will need to be reasonably fit\, as the full experience takes around seven hours. \nYou’ll be supported every step of the way.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text] \nMake your walk personal\nThere are lots of ways to make your Sunrise Trek meaningful.

This helps cover the cost of the event such as the trek leads. \nWe ask that everyone who joins the trek to pledge to raise a minimum amount. For adults this is £200 and for those joining us who are under 18\, £60. Your fundraising enables us to continue the work of the charity\, supporting families when they need us the most.[/vc_toggle][vc_separator el_id=”add-calendar”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
