Summary: Just a quick note to say thank you to our amazing guide Hywyn. He guided three of us on our sunrise hike up Yr Wydffa (on 10/10/25) with the perfect mix of encouragement, enthusiasm, stories so we could catch our breath and give our legs a break and belief in us. We were three very different people and he successfully got us all up to the summit as the sun rose (with a stunning inversion !) There were times on the way up when i thought i would have to stop…but Hywyn was positive i would make it and i did. Thank you for your support and belief and for enabling me to have such an amazing experience Hywyn!
