Snowdon Massif 2013


It has been a few years since I've last done any hiking. After this trip report I can say that I have missed it a lot!
The weather today was dry and hot with little to no wind even on Crib Goch! Fantastic!

Arrived at Pen Y Pass car park at 8am. First time for me that there was no car parking space at his hour in the morning! I had to drive about 1.5 miles further along the A4086 and found 1 space on the lay-by. This increased my hiking time by a further 20-25mins.

Looking back along the A4086, my car parked surprisingly far away from Pen Y Pass car park!


Start of the PYG track, north of the car park. Crib Goch in the background.

The peaks of Y Lliwedd (898m)






Scrambling on some grade 1 rocks on the way up to Crib Goch.

Classic Crib Goch and Snowdon view.

Definitely a T-shirt day!
