More than 40 supporters of East Cheshire Hospice have already signed up for Trek Snowdon

More than 40 supporters of East Cheshire Hospice have already signed up for an overnight Mount Snowdon climb.

The nine-mile trek takes place over the weekend of August 2 and 3.

Places are still available for the climb to be accompanied by experienced mountain guide leaders.

Organisers describe the walk as challenging.

Walkers are rewarded with stunning views across Snowdonia National Park and the changing colours of the peaks as dawn breaks.

Registration is £45 and a minimum of £330 must be raised in sponsorship.

Participants receive a hot buffet at a Llanberis hotel late on the Saturday before a 1 am registration and briefing.

Snowdon is the destination for East Cheshire Hospice trekkers.

The ascent, using Llanberis Path, starts at 2 am and takes between three and four hours.

Walkers will watch sunrise either at the summit, or on ascent, depending on their pace. Snacks are supplied along the route before a well-earned breakfast at the end.

Head torches are not supplied. The same trail is used for a two-to-three-hour descent. A welcome pack offers tips on training and trekking.

A vehicle provides back up and support and each walker receives a souvenir medal.

Excluded is travel insurance, alcoholic drinks and personal trekking equipment such as boots, poles etc.

The Hospice has run several overseas trips but wanted an event closer to home making costs more affordable for supporters.

More than a dozen nursing staff from the Hospice have signed up for the adventure. * To book visit www.eastcheshirehospice.org.uk/events/trek-2025/
