SNOWDON TREK – MONDAY 14th JULY 2025
Our Snowdon Trek will take place on Monday 14th July and we would love if more of you would join us this year!
Your past kindness and generosity has made an enormous difference to the lives of the dogs from Lemnos Shelter. Thanks to you many of the dogs are now living in more sociable open pens in little family groups. There’s still so much work to be done so if you are able to please donate again the dogs and the stressed-out volunteers will be forever grateful.
This trek is not just a fundraiser, it’s also about raising awareness for the plight of shelter dogs everywhere. We will be taking banners with photos of the dogs looking for adoption and hope we might see more dogs re-homed.
Some of the trekkers will be in optional fancy dress, some will be dressed as dogs. We hope several more shelters will send someone to represent them and raise money for their shelter.
We are arrring in Betws-y-coed on Sunday 13th July and will meet up with everyone that evening. There are many hotels and B&Bs for all budgets right in the centre.
On Monday 14th July we plan to leave Betws-y-coed on the 10am bus for the short ride to the start of the Pyg-Miners track.
At the end of the trek we will be waiting with celebratory drinks for you in the centre of Betws-y-coed.
The trek is approximately 7.5 miles and should take experienced trekkers around 4 hours in good weather and for those less experienced 6/7 hours plus.
If the trek sounds a bit daunting and you’d like something more relaxed then please join some of us on the train to the summit where we will meet the trekkers as in previous years.
Last year Aris flew the flag for Lemnos Dog Shelter and made the trek look effortless, but please note that all dogs joining us need to be very fit and used to hikes like this.
