14km walk/hike/climb to the summit of Snowdon over the challenging Crib Goch.
The
first stretch. Start as you mean to go on (up!). The first part of the
hike ended up being a 2½
mile hike up the road to the start of the route up Snowdon.
The start of the trek up to the summit.
At this point we get given a choice which way we want to go. Obviously the only way is up!
Looks like a decision has been made
Its off to the top the hard way, over Crib Goch!!
The start was easy, with a great view. The following are just a few of the photo's taken on the way up.
Are you sure that is the right path Uncle Neville? Yes Lincoln this is where we sort the men from the boys!
It was the more of a climb than a walk/hike! No wonder this was where sherpa Tensing and Hilary trained before their assault of Everest! This looked like Everest.
These are what we were able to take on our way up while we were trying to catch our breath.
For god's sake don't tell your mum which way we went!
Just sit still Lincoln!
As we started to near the top the clouds started to come over the top. We were soon to lose our great view. Waterproofs out and gloves and hat on.
The summit is in sight!
People come from everywhere, up the pig track, the miners track and of course the easy route by the train track! Some of these people really need to learn that Snowdon is a mountain and therefore should wear the right clothes!
Lincoln is first to touch the trig point at the summit of Snowdon. His first major trek and he manages the 2nd highest mountain in the UK. What an achievement!
Well done Lincoln!
The summit conquered now time for the trek down, in the rain!
Why is coming down always so more painful than going up?
At last the end!
