X-Eryri

The inaugural X Eryri will take place in the heart of Snowdonia, to be held mainly in the catchment area of Snowdonia Sky Sports and gives you the opportunity to fly some of the most scenic and stunning areas in Wales. Based in Llanberis, at the foot of Snowdon, you will have two days to pit your flying skills, stamina, guile and stratagem against other like minded competitors in a race around Snowdonia. The aim is to to gain the most points you can and get back to the start by the end of the second day. The closest mountain tops will hold the least points while those further afield earn more the further you travel. Do you play safe and stick close or do you throw the dice and go big? The choice is ultimately yours and with some side helping of wildcard points you’ll have plenty to think about.

Snowdonia is the largest national park in Wales and contains 9 mountain ranges, including over 100 peaks above 2000ft along with the highest in England and Wales. It’s proximity to the sea sets up interesting sea breeze convergence lines while further inland the bases can get very high on a good day. Mountains, lakes, valleys, moorland, forests, epic scenery and hopefully some awesome flights all await. Whether you want to go full bore or just have a jolly around the hills and soak up the atmosphere, its all waiting for you. Please read the rules of attendance thoroughly!
