Would you like to join #TeamCRW and take on the Abergavenny 3 Peaks Challenge?
Climb Skirrid (486m) Sugar Loaf (596m) and Blorenge (561m) while raising money for world-class cancer research in Wales for Wales. This is a strenuous trek for well-prepared walkers but a great way of seeing the three iconic peaks surrounding Abergavenny all in one day!
Starting from Abergavenny and taking in Skirrid, Sugar Loaf and finally Blorenge you’ll then return to Abergavenny on this walk which will be led and managed by ROC Adventure, with qualified mountain leaders throughout.
Participants should be aware this is a challenging route over varied, sometimes steep terrain – it’s a demanding full-day hike suitable for participants with a good level of fitness.
Regular breaks and support will be provided at designated points.
