July 3, 2022,Llanberis Path (Snowdon)

Otherwise considered the Tourist Path this route takes you directly from the village to the summit and back.

The longest route up with the least steep sections.

July 8, 2023,Snowdon via Llanberis Path

A walk up the highest mountain in England and Wales. The Llanberis path essentially follows the railway track up to the summit of Snowdon.

For the 950m climb, you should choose the right footwear and bring alternative clothing. In the clouds and with a lot of wind, it was only 6 degrees today.
For those who are less fit, there is …
