Snowdonia Mountains

Just some photos of Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa) and Snowdonian Highlands (Eryri)

 

what a stunning scenery!

 

Superb photos of a beautiful part of the country Stephen. Thanks for sharing.

Done Snowdon a couple of times and those pictures certainly do it justice. Did I spot a couple of shots of the Crib Goch in there? Still have nightmares about the time I tried that path.

 

Wonderful pics, thanks for sharing

 

Thanks guys! Indeed Crib Goch and Y Lliwedd, which look similar and make up the Snowdon Horseshoe. I didn't do Crib Goch, though I might next time, but did have a hairy, very steep descent down to the valley below Y Lliwedd which, had I not hung on, would have been curtains for me (don't know what possessed me to take the sheer face down) but even that was fun!

 

Lovely scenery and shots Stephen.

 

The only time I did Snowdonia, I did Crib Goch and without training. I swear I can still feel the lactic acid in my thighs. Mind you, I was trying to beat my brother who's a mountaineer up there and I just, only just, managed it. My overriding memory is of looking down on top of a helicopter flying below.

 

Crib Goch isn't technically difficult it just puts the wind up you.. and can be psychologically daunting.. that's why I want to do Lliwedd first, because it's like Crib Goch/Crib y Ddysgl but less psychologically daunting.
