I took on The Welsh 3 Peaks Challenge which involves summiting Pen Y Fan, Cadair Idris and Snowdon in a 24 hour period. There is also around 7 hours of driving involved so it is quite an intense challenge - especially Cadair Idris and Snowdon which are tough mountains.
The weather was good to me and the rain held off on both the Saturday and Sunday. I first made my way to Pen Y Fan on the Saturday morning and started the challenge at 11am - so I had until 11am on the Sunday to get it nailed.
I parked at the following place for Pen Y Fan at a cost of £7.50 for the full day - unfortunately there is no option for lower amounts of time - postcode is LD3 8NL:

Cadair Idris parking costs £2.70 for 4 hours and the postcode is LL40 1TN:

For Snowdon the cost is £20 if you wish to park at the Pen Y Pass car park for 8 hours - postcode is LL55 4NU and pre-booking is required:

In between Cadair Idris and Snowdon I tried to get a few hours rest at this campsite which costs £13 per night:

I took on the challenge to raise money for Dementia UK in memory of my Mum. I managed to raise £70 so thanks to all the people who donated. The charity can be found below:

Pen Y Fan, Cadair Idris & Snowdon stand at a height of 2,900 feet, 2,930 feet & 3,560 feet respectively.
Note: I had a copyright issue at the end of the video so I had to remove the song that was on the radio on the drive back using the video editor on RU-vid which isn’t the best so it never masked it all - but the copyright has been removed now.
