Eryri
At 823sq miles Eryri is Wales’ largest National Park. Home to 15 mountains over 3000ft, including Yr Wddfa, the highest mountain in Wales. A heavily glaciated area with steep sided mountains and a network of lakes, breathtakingly stunning scenery.
Campsite Locations
We use a number of campsites in Eryri and further afield in Northern Wales allowing for a wide variety of routes to suit schools. Teams can explore the valleys, summit peaks and undertake some amazing ridge walks.
Camping in vans for Sam Sykes staff is not always possible due to requirements of expedition. You will be informed if this is the case.
