How will we start our day and what routes are we taking to hike up Snowdon
Our hike up Snowdon will take place on February 19th, 2022 after our 4-day journey from Portsmouth. We will be leaving our accommodation at 7:30 AM at sunrise to make the most use of the sunlight for the day but not proceeding too early so we can get good footage of the hike. We want to take a route up Snowdon that is neither too easy nor too dangerous. For this reason we have decided to take the Watkins path to reach the summit and then the miners track to return back down the mountain. The entire hike should take us between 7 and 9 hours. Sunset is at 17:30 so we will aim to be back down by 17:00 latest to ensure we don't risk limited visibility and being trapped up the mountain in the dark.

What is CALM?
The Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM) is leading a movement against suicide. Every week 125 people in the UK take their own lives. And 75% of all UK suicides are male.
CALM exists to change this.
Their aim is to help people with their mental health and to stop the idea that for some people suicide is their only way out.
They provide a completely free phone and webchat service to help support people in the UK who are down or have hit a wall for any reason, who need to talk or find information and support.
With Covid and isolation, they are supporting more people than ever through this challenging time and taking more calls and webchats than usual. This might mean there is a delay when getting in touch with them, but rest assured they're here and ready to talk.
Services Include:
Webchat and helpline (0800 58 58 58) from 5 pm-midnight every day.
The line is free, confidential, and anonymous, and staffed by trained professionals.
Bereavement support through the Support After Suicide Partnership (SASP).
