Due to the side affects of some tablets Ive been on that lower my metabolism Ive banged a bit of weight on, now this seems a good opportunity to work towards loosing the weight as Im on a lower dose tablet now.
My plan is to organise a trip for early June, camping at Capel Curig and walking up Snowdon via the Watkin path.
The Watkin path is by no means the easiest path up Snowdon, in fact its the lowest path to sea level at the start,so when you get to the top of Snowdon you have actually climbed most of the mountain as opposed to starting some tracks that start 1000 foot above sea level.
The Watkin path is by far my favourite path as the views and scenery are to me the best you can get and once you crest the saddle of Llewidd it just opens out magnificently, the path also has quite a bit of history surrounding it.
It isnt a path to be taken lightly either as near the top you enter a scree field known as the zigzags and if misty or not thought out correctly it can be dangerous.
This route can be a lung burster, so be warned
I know Dave Weave was asking last year for a walk up Snowdon, is any one else interested ?
I wouldnt advise it for kids under 13 as you have to be pretty motivated, its pretty steep in most parts and can be a long slog, but a good achievement once you have conquered it.
About 15 years ago I had to call the RAF Mountain rescue out on this part of the mountain to assist a crashed paraglider, a story Ill tell on the way up
This is a good link to pictures, I believe the new summit cafe is nearly finished being built now.
