Description

Started in Llanberis and made my way up the route towards the Snowdon ranger path. At this point the rain had turned to snow with the cold and altitude. Visibility was practically zero and no features could be seen. I navigated up along towards to Moel Eilio via Foel Goch. I kept following along and then dropped back down below the cloud where the visibility came back and I made a return through the quarries out the back of LLanberis back to the lagoons.
Today was slow going as navigation was tough. Visibility was so limited and no features could be seen, plus the snow was over ankle deep at times but winter walking equipment wasn't needed.

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.
