Climbing Mt Snowdon
Back in April, my friend Taylor, his boys Graham and Eli, and Graham's girlfriend Caroline, came for a visit. They came on the ferry from Ireland, and Ellen and I met them in Holyhead, Wales. Since we were close by, Taylor was gung-ho to climb Mt. Snowdon, the highest peak in the UK outside of Scotland. The others chose other activities, so Taylor and I started the climb at Pen-Y-Pass near Llanberis, Wales. We went up the Pyg Track and came down the Miner's Track. It was a great day for hiking, though it got windier the higher we climbed. I took a bunch of videos, which are linked to below. They'll give you a good idea of how windy it was.
We made the climb on the 2nd of April, a Wednesday, but there were still plenty of people on the mountain.
There's a cafe at the summit, and it is supplied by the Snowdon Mountain Railway, which also takes people up and down the mountain, but only in the summer.
