Overview
Colleagues of Redlynch Agricultural Engineering Ltd, trek Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa), the highest mountain in England and Wales, in support of Men’s Minds Matter – men’s mental health suicide intervention & prevention specialists charity. The trek is timed perfectly to catch the golden glow of sunset across Eryri’s sweeping peaks and valleys. Setting off in the late afternoon, you’ll follow the gentle Llanberis Path with fewer crowds on the mountain, giving you space to soak in the changing light and colours of the national park as dusk rolls in.
As darkness falls, descend beneath a canopy of stars – Snowdonia is recognised as an International Dark Sky Reserve, offering spectacular views of the night sky. It’s a chance to experience the mountain in a completely new way, from day to night.
Led by our friendly and experienced local Mountain Leaders, you’ll be in safe hands every step of the way. As a locally based, family-run company and proud Snowdonia Ambassadors, we’re passionate about sharing our home in a way that’s meaningful, respectful, and rooted in community.
We also kindly ask all trekkers to respect local residents by keeping noise to a minimum when passing through Llanberis village during the evening descent.
This is more than just a mountain – it’s a warm Welsh welcome to our beloved Eryri.
Registration fee: £20 per person payable on booking and non-refundable
Sponsorship: £300 per person for Men’s Minds Matter
Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa) Sunset Trek
In support of Men’s Minds Matter
Join us for an incredible evening adventure to the summit of Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) – all in support of Men’s Minds Matter, a charity dedicated to preventing male suicide through specialist psychological services and support.
Meet your local Mountain Leader at 17:30 outside Snowdon Railway Station, Llanberis (LL55 4TY).
As the afternoon light begins to soften, you’ll set off on the Llanberis Path, the most gradual route to the summit of Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon). This steady ascent gives you time to soak up the wide-reaching views and ever-changing colours over the Eryri (Snowdonia) landscape.
Reaching the summit in time for sunset at 20:41, you’ll have the chance to pause and celebrate your achievement while watching the mountains glow and fade into dusk.
As night falls and stars begin to appear, you’ll retrace your steps down the same path – this time under a blanket of darkness. Snowdonia National Park is one of just ten International Dark Sky Reserves in the world, so if skies are clear, expect a dazzling show: the Milky Way, constellations, nebulae, and even the odd shooting star.
At the end of the trek, you can either return home if you’re local, or enjoy a well-earned night’s rest and explore more of the area the following day.
This experience is ideal for anyone new to mountain or night trekking – or for those wanting to experience Yr Wyddfa in a whole new light (and darkness!).
