Heroic walkers raised £10,000 with sunset hike Thirty two hardy hikers hit the top of Yr Wyddfa for a stunning sunset. The team, led by experienced Mountain guide Merfyn "Smyrff" Jones raised a brilliant £10,000 for our hospices in the process. The walkers set off from the picturesque village of Llanberis late afternoon on Saturday 27th July and in wonderful conditions reached the summit plate in plenty of time for a magnificent view.
