Description
A walk from Llyn Padarn heading up Garnedd Ugain using the Llanberis path until reaching the ridgeline that runs up to Garnedd Ugain, following this ridgeline and then taking a bearing due to low visibility to get to the summit.
From here a walk to Snowdon using the path, then on to Moel Cynghorion taking the Ranger path and then Off-Piste to the summit.
Once at the summit the light levels started to fade and mist began to make visibility low.
Moving onto Foel Goch the visibility faded to around 5 meters with a torch, with paths now not available and limited visibility bearing were used to navigate to Foel Gron and then to Moel Eilio, following fence lines.
The descent was again very low visibility until around 300m.
