It's worth saying that every year Snowdon claims the lives of numerous people who tackle it in foul weather, with no proper planning and without suitable equipment. You were fortunate to have perfect conditions and a long summer day which made it look relatively easy, if tiring, but snow, ice, strong winds and low cloud can make it a treacherous mountain for the unwary.
Yes, we were very blessed with beautiful weather! And we agree, always do your homework before taking on a long hike. Thanks for sharing what it’s like in other seasons!
Thank you! That's very impressive. If you plan on making your way to North Wales, we highly recommend Snowdon, as the view from the top is definitely worth it!
You were so lucky to get such a beautifully clear day and get to experience the views. I've been up twice; each time it was cloudy and, on the second occasion, thunder & lightning on the way down.
Very lucky indeed! I (Andrew) actually got sunburned as I wasn’t expecting such a beautiful sunny day in Wales, but was grateful for it! As they say, 3rd time’s a charm, so hopefully you’ll get a clear and sunny day the next time you hike it 🙏
That was some hike!! We may need to try that one day 😄 And it sure looks popular, as that was a LOT of people on the trail 😅 can't really blame them though, the day and weather was perfect 👏 🤩

That was great. I’ve climbed most of the mountains in southern wales but never the north - enjoyed that 👍

Well done. Been 35 years for me.
Thanks! Hope you had a great experience as well!
As usual, I’m impressed. I love that dog.

Great weather since we arrived… we’re starting to think it’s the best kept secret of the UK 😂
