SUMMARY:Alfie's Hike for Hope
DESCRIPTION:This Mother’s Day\, join Race Across the World winner Alfie Watts on his sunrise Hike for Hope to the summit of Pen y Fan in Wales.  \nThis Mother’s Day\, I’m going to be hiking to the top of one of the most spectacular summits in Wales to watch the sunrise – and I want you to come with me.   \nThat’s right\, after travelling across the world it’s fair to say that some of the best\, most iconic sunrises can be found right here on British soil. Pen y Fan is the highest peak in South Wales and the views from the top are next level! And I want you to experience these spectacular scenes\, right there with me.   \nYes\, it’ll be cold\, yes\, it’ll be early\, but trust me\, it’ll be one of those memory moments you’ll talk about forever. Plus\, you’ll be doing it for an incredible cause.   \nThat’s right\, I want you to join my Hike for Hope and scale the summit for Winston’s Wish\, a charity that helps kids and young adults after someone important to them has died. I’ve been an Ambassador for the charity for a little while now and I’ve seen how their help genuinely changes lives.   \nAnd what better day to take on an epic trek like this than Mother’s Day\, Sunday 15th March. You might want to hike with your mum\, for your mum\, in memory of your mum\, or for someone who has been like a mum to you.   \nWe’ll hike together\, reach the summit together and watch the sunrise together.  \nGood people\, big views\, great cause.    The details: \n\nWhere: Pen y Fan\, Brecon Beacons\, South Wales. Meet at Pont ar Daf National Trust car park\nWhen: Sunday 15th March 2026 \nWhat: The trek is approximately 4.9 miles / 7.8km\, ascending 541m / 177 ft and will take about four hours. You’ll be walking under the stars\, starting at 3am and finishing about 7am. \nCost: You’ll need to pay £25 to secure your spot and commit to raising at least £160 to give hope to grieving children and young people.  \n\nRegistrations have now closed! If you want to get in touch about the hike\, please email events@winstonswish.org and we’ll be happy to answer any questions. \nYou can see our other fundraising trek challenges here and all other fundraising challenges here. \nWho is this for?\nThis trek is for you if: \n\nYou’ve got a decent level of fitness and can handle a 7.8km / 177ft hike.  \nYou can get yourself to and from Pont ar Daf car park in the early hours of Sunday 15th March 2026. \nYou’re up for raising funds to help grieving kids and young people. \nYou like a challenge\, good vibes\, and meeting sound people. \n\nWhat you’ll get:\n\nHiking with Alfie and the Winston’s Wish crew. \n\n\nA charity tee to wear on the day. \n\n\nA pro hiker guide so we’re all safe and sorted. \n\n\nA drink and treat after the hike.\n\n\nAccess to training tips via the GH Training app. \n\n\nFundraising tips to help you smash your target. \n\nAnd don’t worry\, you won’t be winging it.

However\, for our sunrise summit attempt we are walking in the dark so care and attention is needed at all times especially around the summit area and on the descent around Corn Ddu. \nCrossing the Pont ar Daf and picking up the Beacons Way national trail we wind our way up past waterfalls climbing quite steeply before we arrive at Blwch Duwynt which is at 2.5km into our route. \nBy the time we reach the Bwlch most of the height gain has been achieved as we are now at 814m with only 72m left to climb! \nThe final 1km of walking is relatively straightforward as we contour around the cliff face of Corn Ddu (Black Horn) to reach the summit of Pen-y-Fan 886m with its well-preserved Bronze aged cairn. \nDESCENT \nOur descent begins by retracing our steps for 0.5km to an intersection of paths just below Corn Ddu. Instead of continuing down our ascent route we take the path to the right below the cliff face of Craig Cwm Llwch. \nAfter approximately 300m we pick up our descent route heading south west for 1.5km until we cross Blaen Taf Fawr. We then have a short uphill section before our final 1km of descent down behind the Storey Arms. \nOnce back we pick up the path that runs parallel with the road for our final 1km walk back to the starting point. \nWhat you will need – kit list\nRucksack – about 35 litres\nBoots (with ankle support and soles which will grip on rock\, grass and mud)\nWaterproof jacket (with hood)\nWaterproof over trousers\nGeneral trekking trousers (not jeans or cotton material)\nThermal top\nFleece top\nGaiters (not always essential)\nWarm hat\nGloves or mitts\nSpare layer e.g. fleece top\nTorch (preferably a head torch)\nFood & Drink\nFirst Aid Kit (small)\nMobile phone\nSunhat\nSun cream\nSunglasses
