Climbing Snowdon!
I knew I would want to climb Snowdon on our trip to Wales. But not in rain or fog: too dangerous for me + it's the view from the top I enjoy most. Because of some problems with my back I'd been having, we tried to book the train to take us up, and then we would descend on foot. Luckily (with hindsight), the train was fully booked till the end of August (more than a month ahead!). The disadvantage of booking the train that far ahead is that - of course - you have no idea what the weather will be like.
So we studied the 6 walking routes up Snowdon and decided to take the Pyg Track up and the Miners Track down.
And yes, the weather was fantastic on the day of our choice: a bright blue sky and not too hot to climb! Here we had been climbing for a short time. This is the view down the Llanberis Pass in the direction of Llanberis, and of the Glyderau mountain range.
