I’ve only visited Snowdonia once, many years ago, and for too short a time. I recall having a nice hike and wanting to come back to do it again someday.
I have yet to return. Maybe we’ll need to head into the hills of Snowdonia together sometime, Garry. Although at a much slower pace than I would have done so 15 years ago!
Sounds like a plan DrF !
You can get the train to near the summit of Snowdon.
It’s a venture for days when the weather is 100% guaranteed not to catch you out.
Many climbers have attempted the climb on sunny warm days and been trapped by spring snowfalls. Not too serious an outcome in these times of cell phones and helicopters.
The Queen’s grandson – Prince William – flew rescue missions in North Wales for the Royal Air Force.
The Snowdon Railway was forced to close during Easter 2013 when the track was under 30 feet of snow.
Maybe we can carry a thermos of tea, some biscuits, and ask the prince to join us for a break near the summit somewhere.
I did not know you had so much snow in Snowdonia.
Rarely – but it does happen.
