Snowdon
by James on Jul.13, 2009, under Pre Departure
Saturday afternoon – decided to climb Snowdon so Matt and I set off, got to North Wales and found a campsite around 2030.
The Camp Site
Weather was pretty bad along the way, almost turned back at one point. Set up camp and enjoyed a meal, bottle of wine and some cards.
Broke camp and set of down the A5 looking for snowdon. We were aiming to do the Watkin Path. See here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snowdon#Watkin_Path
The Watkin Path
The route would take around 6 hours and is the hardest route; climbing the greatest altitude – 1015m.
Walking up we could see the cloud coming in.
Path to the clouds
A hard scramble later we were up at the top, surprisingly we found it to be rather crowded. Aparently there is a train that runs to the top, and now it is complete with a cafe. A welcome cup of coffee later we headed down the ridge back towards the car.
The Ridge
Here is Snowdon viewed from further down the ridge covered in cloud.

I was pleased to see my tent functioned well and kept out the hardest wind and rain.
All the more excited about the off now!
