Snowdon Attacks! 2 June 2012


The sun was shining, and the midges starting to nibble, as we boarded the bus to Pen-y-Pass – and before we knew, we’d all worked up a light sweat and were contemplating the climb up to Crib Goch.  It was not an entirely un-gruelling ascent – at least one of our number chipped a nail – but we made it, and the red ridge provided its usual mix of heady spectacle and occasional mild terror.  Up to the cafe on top for cups of tea and/or Purple Moose, down the Watkin Path and a tired slog through a lazy valley to Beddgelert, serenaded by a cuckoo for about quarter of an hour.  A long day but, as always, Snowdon proved unforgettably awesome.
