Barkingmad Snowdon Trek

Trekking Snowdon for the Ghost Dogs of Greece

Please join us for our Snowdon 2025 Trek on 14 July 2025.

The Snowdon Challenge was inspired by Jack, a rescue dog who village post lady, Sophie, met on her rounds. Jack grew up in a Greek shelter and spent the first 3 years of his life incarcerated 24/7 in a tiny cell. He came to the UK in 2019, severely traumatised, and over 3 years Sophie watched as Jack slowly learned to trust humans. Powerless to change his past, she was determined to fundraise for the dogs left behind in hell.

In 2022, the hottest UK day on record, Sophie and 6 friends trekked Snowdon 3 times in one day and raised a massive £10,687 for Jack’s shelter.

The trek is now an annual event and since 2022 has raised over £32,000 enabling us to make major refurbishments to Lemnos Shelter by increasing kennel space and creating social areas so the dogs can live in small packs.

For 2025 we hope to raise another £10,000 with the dream of finally building a new shelter.

Enormous thanks to our doggie sponsors for caring about their friends left behind. If your dog would like to sponsor please click below.
