Was on holiday in Wales in February 2008 with my wife and another couple so we decided to walk up Snowdon, Britain’s 4th highest peak at 3500ft. We opted for the ‘easy’ path from Llanberis and set off at 9am when it was sub-zero and perfect, sunny weather. It took about 3 hours to walk up and another 2 to come back down again. The Halfway House cafe was shut when we went up there as was the station at the top which was undergoing refurbishment. Take plenty of your own supplies and refreshments… I got through about 1.5 litres of Powerade.
Fantastic views all the way up and from the top we could just make out some mountains in Ireland at a distance of 108 miles!! Apparently this is a rare sight. Well worth it… a great sense of achievement but you must do research before attempting it.
