Description

Day one of my Mountain Leader Summer assessment with Steve and Helen of Snowdonia First Aid
We encountered heavy rain and poor visibility all day.
The day was spent testing our navigation, safety on steep ground and general leadership skills.
This all took place in Cwm Glas and around Cwm Glas spur and Clogwyn Mawr.

Area : Snowdon Massif

Snowdon (Welsh: Yr Wyddfa) is the highest mountain in Wales, at an altitude of 1,085 metres (3,560 ft) above sea level, and the highest point in the British Isles outside Scotland. It is located in Snowdonia National Park (Parc Cenedlaethol Eryri) in Gwynedd, and has been described as "the busiest mountain in Britain". It is designated as a national nature reserve for its rare flora and fauna.
