Description

Group: 11 for Large Outdoors. Conditions: dry, chilly, clear skies, sunny. Fellow leader: Rob.
Route: started in Nant Gwynant, up the Watkin (stopping to explain about the mining, hydro schemes and Gladstone rock), returned via south ridge. One client with arthritic knee meant pacing the group up. Screes at top required management, with one unsure and needing support and motivation. Excellent day with a keen group.

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.
