We've teamed up with Visit Wales to give you the chance to win a pair of La Sportiva Trango Trek Micro EVO GTX boots.
 
'Why Visit Wales?' I hear you cry!
 
Well, over the next month the country of Wales is undertaking a mission of epic proportions: Giving one unsuspecting man the holiday of a lifetime.
 
The man in question is Piers Bramhall and, along with his girlfriend Emma, he is about to embark on an amazing Welsh adventure. You can see the start of their trip here:

Where does UKHillwalking fit in?
 
We're asking every single person in the UK to help contribute to Piers' holiday by recommending the best places to visit in Wales.
 
We want Piers to have the full Welsh experience and that's where UKHillwalking comes in. Wales boasts some of the best hill walks in the UK... but which one should Piers be exposed to?
 
Should we send him up Snowdon? Or get him trekking across the Breacon Beacons?
 
We want you, the UKHillwalking community members, to answer the following question:
 
Where is the best walk in Wales and why?

If you haven't been to Wales have no fear; you can still join in and win. Tell us about that place in Wales you've heard about, wanted to go to, or have a look online and tell us which place appeals to you the most.
 
The best answer will be chosen by Visit Wales, and the winner will receive a pair of La Sportiva Trango Trek Micro EVO GTX boots in their size. Entries in by Wed 7th September 2011. Winners announced at the end of September 2011.

Pob Lwc! (Good Luck!)

I haven't really spent much time in Wales so can't recommend a walk however I'd quite like to visit a wild swimming spot in Afon Merc near Beddgelert - an article I found talks of a series of waterfalls and quite plungepools so it sounds like a great place to walk to for some relaxation amongst nature especially on a hot summer day!

Rhinogau - In my opinion it is one of few areas where solitary can still be found. I've spent many days around there, taking in some fantastic views, scrambling over the numerous rock formations, all without seeing another person (well, apart from the people I'm with obviously).

Ynys Mon from Cemaes to Bull Bay. spectacular scenery, quiet bays, wildlife and historical interest and good pint in Bull Bay.

The best walk in Wales? There's so many great contenders - the Snowdon Horseshoe, the Nantlle Ridge, and the central Beacons from the Neuadd reservoirs... But for me, one stands out above these - It has the drama of Snowdon, but without the crowds, and every inch of it is a real Mountain Walk:- Cadair Idris, by the Minfford path. Climbing steeply up the stunning hanging valley, keep left of the stream into the base of the cwm, and the amazing glacial lake of Llyn Cau. Follow the path round the rim of the cwm, with dizzying views down gullies to your right, and follow the path to the top of Penygadair, with views over the Mawddach estuary to the hills of Snowdonia beyond. The summit shelter is a great spot for lunch if the weather's bad, before you cross the plateau to Mynydd Moel. From here, you can head back down easily, with great views into the cwm, and the Tarren hills beyond. And when your reach the car park, there's a handy pub just a minute away...

The best? In my opinion, the best walk in Wales is The Snowdon Horseshoe - but not the one from Pen y pas - the one from Bethania taking in Yr Aran, Snowdon's South Ridge and then Llywedd returning back over Gallt y Wenallt. All the grandeur of Wales's finest summit, but without the crowds. Parking and toilets at grid ref: SH 62792 50693, plus a great cafe/tea shop - what more could you ask?
