While in Bangor we got the opportunity to climb some fantastic mountains that Wales has in abundance, namely Snowdon (3,300 ft) and Mynydd Mawr (2,290ft). Funnily enough Mynydd Marr translates into ‘Big Mountain’ even though it’s a good 1,oooft shorter than Snowden!
We met up with Paul Sandham of Geosho at the Inventorium event and climbed Mynydd Friday evening. Paul then recommended we take the Watkin path to avoid the masses – and boy was he spot on. On Saturday we climbed Snowden in glorious sunny weather as did 100o’s of others – thankfully they all took the easy path while we took the hardest . It was tough going but we managed to get up in just over 2 hours. On the way down Iano transformed in some kind mountain goat.. he would have been down in less than hour if I hadn’t slowed him down!
If you ever get the chance you should climb Snowdon – the view is just amazing..
