DofE Gold Residential
If you're looking to push your climbing to the next level, RAW’s Gold Residentials offer a structured, supportive, and inspiring pathway to completing your Gold Award.
Based in Eryri (Snowdonia), North Wales, RAW Adventures is owned and operated by Kate and Ross Worthington with support from a close-knit operations team. Working with small and large-scale groups of all ages and abilities, we operate outdoor adventures with qualified and trusted Mountain Leaders and instructors.
This includes our popular Climb Snowdon days as well as supporting the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award, bespoke charity and adventure challenge events. We also provide Mountain Training Skills and Leader Qualification courses.
We love to plan bespoke adventures, as well as offering more well-known routes and summit days. Our office base is in Llanberis, underneath the shadow of Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon). It is a hub of activity and always open for a coffee and chat...
We very much look forward to future challenges and won't be looking anywhere else for 5* service, professionalism, and safety.
This is Eryri. This is Snowdonia. A beautiful National Park offering rich rewards to those who stay awhile and are keen to learn more about its quiet corners and cwms, as well as its majestic mountain tops. Visit Wales and let us help plan a unique adventure.
We operate popular Climb Snowdon days, guiding on Welsh 3000s challenges and bespoke mountain adventures in Eryri. RAW also supports all aspects of the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Expedition section and Gold Award Duke of Edinburgh Residential weeks, for young people.
We are a respected provider of Mountain Training nationally recognised qualifications and skills courses: Lowland Leader, Hill and Moorland Leader, Hill Skills, Mountain Skills and Rock Skills. We also offer further mountain skills and winter experiences in Scotland – Winter Mountain Skills.
