Description

33. A CMC Snowdon Horseshoe walk. Length: 9.32 miles 15.0 km Ascent: +1388m -1391m Naismith: 5h 19m
No ropes needed for this one! Started the Pen y Gwryd Hotel, walked up the Pass to the start of the Pyg Track, over Crib Goch, Crib y Ddysgl, and up to the summit. A brief respite from the wind in the new summit cafe, then we continued on around Y Lliwedd and back down the remainder of the Miner's Track and on to Pen y Gwryd. Had to issue some of my first aid kit pills to Matt Morrow(?) who was aching a bit. I think the half hour lunch meant that this one was stretched out a bit to the full 6 hours required for ML experience!
