The Go21 Challenge was launched in 2020 to celebrate our 21st birthday, this is your challenge designed by you!
You could run, walk, dance or cycle in your garden, local park or even in your kitchen! Designed with social distancing in mind, Go21 can be done alone, with your bubble, or virtually.
If physical activities aren’t for you, why not bake, DJ, or do an old-fashioned sponsored silence!
You can take on your challenge at any time of the year, but we’d love to see you having fun and celebrating on May 19th, our 22nd Birthday!
Visit nwaa.net/go21challenge for full details, or contact fundraising@nwaa.net. We’ll be there to support you every step (bake, or stitch) of the way!
Fancy watching the sunrise from the top of one of the UK’s highest mountains?
Join us on Saturday 22nd May for our first overnight trek to the summit of Snowdon! By the light of the moon (and head torches) we’ll follow the Llanberis path in a 3-4 hour climb to the top (1,085m), and we’ll descend into daylight as the sun rises across the mountains of Snowdonia, before enjoying a celebratory breakfast.
With a walking distance of around 9.5 miles the trek takes between 6-8 hours, depending on your fitness level and how often you stop to take photos! This is a fully guided tour with snacks and breakfast included in the price, however you will need to make your own way to the meeting point in Llanberis.
