Led by Charlotte herself alongside Deborah Coughlin, who is trained in Gestalt, the immersive journey is designed to help you explore your story – past, present, and future.</p>

<p>During this adrenalin-filled adventure, you&#8217;ll hike the highest and toughest peaks in Snowdonia. While the famous 14 Peaks is a 24-hour challenge for only the bravest (and perhaps the craziest), this version unfolds over three days, giving you time to soak up the spectacular views (and catch your breath). The experience includes four nights&#8217; accomodation, guided hikes with an experienced local leader, plus the chance to take part in a voluntary trail clean-up. As an added bonus, every booking plants a native tree in Adventure Tours&#8217; woodland.</p>
