Description

A long and cloudy day out up Snowdon's ranger path and down the watkin path with four University Students from London. Having covered the basics of nav the day before, we wanted to put it to the test today. The cloud base was around 650m which made it even more challenging. Easy navigating but difficult conditions.

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.
