22 Welsh Local Authorities with 22 Peaks to Reach

Over just four-days, the team of Dads and Uncles will hike and off-road cycle to the highest point of every Welsh local authority, finishing at Tŷ Hafan in South Glamorgan.

It is a brutal challenge, climbing many of the highest mountain in Wales.  The logistics of travelling to every local authority increases the complexity of the challenge, with long drives between the physical challenge of reaching another peak.

The 2024 challenge follows previous challenges.  In 2018, the team took on the 5in55, walking all the five mountains of the National and Welsh 3-Peaks in just 52 hours.  In recognition of the achievement, the team were crowned the Just Giving Team Fundraisers of the Year.

In 2022, in a pandemic delayed challenge, the team took on the 10nTaff, climbing the five highest mountains in North Wales, then the five highest mountains in South Wales, before cycling, off-road, from Brecon to Cardiff.  The 10nTaff was completed in just over 55 hours.

The 2024 challenge was regarded as tougher, with the team cycling, hiking and kayaking the length of Wales in just four-days.  The brutal challenge took the team across remote and often uninhabited parts of Wales and pushed every team member to the limit.

The Catch22Peaks is another step up in terms of extreme.
