Snaefell 621m, Isle of Man, UK. World Country HP.

After a two year absence due to covid and the obvious lack of travel it’s good to good to get out to the Isle of Man to do Snaefell. At 621m it’s not only an isolated 600m peak but listed as a world country high point on Peakbagger. This makes it no 25/256 for me.
Not the hardest of hikes and a bit novel having a coffee shop at the top and to see tourists getting off the electric tram. Hey ho but a great hike on a stunning day with beautiful views and other interesting things to see on route.

Route Statistics: 14km, 676m of ascent in a carb fuelled 5hrs 45min with two Mochas, a Meringue slice and a cream and jam scone!

The Old Norse definition of Snaefell is Snow Mountain and at 2,037 feet (621 m) above sea level, it's the only 'mountain' on the Isle of Man. It is serviced by the Snaefell Mountain Railway and it is possible to get a tram up to the summit of the mountain. On the day we ascended, we walked from Black Hut to the north east and descended to the Millenium Way in the west. There is a local saying that you can see seven kingdoms from the summit of Snaefell - 'Mann, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, England, Neptune and Heaven'.
