The grand prize package includes round-trip airfare for two on Virgin Atlantic, two nights lodging in a luxury yurt at the Graig Wen resort, a BritRail Pass for transportation to Snowdonia National Park, and two nights at Escape, a luxurious seaside bed and breakfast, prior to flying home.

My mother was born in Wales and I was fortunate enough to visit Wales many years back. What a treat it would be to back pack through this lovely countryside.
