Ty Hafan Welsh 3 Peaks

In 1998, Ty Hafan staged the first Welsh 3 Peaks challenge.  Teams of 4 were tasked with climbing three Welsh mountains in just 15 hours.  This involved covering 20.35 miles and ascending 9,397 feet.  The event is made possible by GE Aviation (Nantgarw) who provide the support teams to manage the event.  Without GE Aviation, staging the event would be impossible.  I’ve taken part as a walker on two separate occasions and now photograph the event.  It is a great day in the mountains, although the weather is not always the best.  It is also one of the best team-building activities I have ever been involved with and I recommend any company to consider participating.  Find out more about the Ty Hafan Welsh 3 Peaks

Ty Hafan 2022 Welsh 3 Peaks

The original and best Welsh 3 Peaks challenge organised by <a href="https://www.tyhafan.org/">Ty Hafan</a> in conjunction with GE Aviation returned in 2022. On 11th June, intrepid hikers laced up their boots and climbed Snowdon, Cadair Idris and Pen-y-Fan in a single day. Thank you to everyone who took part - hikers, drivers, marshals and the support crew - from my family and all those who have and still do receive vital help and support from this amazing charity.  Ty Hafan relies on charitable donations to exist and people participating in events such as Welsh 3 Peaks is so important.  And please contact me if you wish to have any of the photos - which are free to all those involved.  Hope to see and photograph you all next year!  Paul

Ty Hafan 2023 Welsh 3 Peaks

Ty Hafan 2023 Welsh 3 Peaks

2023 marked the 25th anniversary of the Ty Hafan Welsh 3 Peaks, only made by possible by the employees of GE Aviation Wales who organise and marshal the whole event. Once again, I was on hand to photograph the brave teams taking on the challenge of climbing Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon), Cadair Idris and Pen-y-Fan. The challenge never gets any easier and the hot and often humid conditions pushed everyone to the limit. Thanks to everyone who took part and raised previous funds for Ty Hafan, a charity very close to my heart, and all the volunteers who made this possible. You're all heroes!  All the photographs taken are to thank you for taking part and so please download from the site or email me for logo-free high resolution copies.
