Description

17.5km, 1240m. Snowdon, North Wales.
Broken cloud above 3400ft, cold on the hills. Two school friends and my cousin Neil and I. Bryn Gwynant YH, Watkin Path to Bwlch Ciliau, Y Lliwedd, Snowdon, Beddgelert Path to Rhyd-ddn, followed old rail track to Snowdon Ranger YH. What a let down the summit is – a mess.
