Challenge Overview
Congratulations on signing up to Summit Under Stars 2025!
On September 26th we’ll be heading to Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons National Park), for our first ever Summit Under Stars challenge. As a designated international dark-sky reserve, the night sky over the Brecon Beacons is magical – on a clear night you can see the Milky Way, major constellations, bright nebulas and even meteor showers. Star-gazing from the top of Pen-Y-Fan, the highest peak in South Wales, is enough to make anyone starry eyed.
We can’t wait for you to join us for a thrilling experience we are sure you will never forget and help us to support vulnerable young people who are all climbing their own personal mountains.
