Snowdon (Welsh:Yr Wyddfa, pronounced[əɾ ˈwɨ̞ðva]) is the highest mountain in Wales, at an elevation of 1,085 metres (3,560ft)above sea level, and the highest point in the British Isles outside the Scottish Highlands. It is located in Snowdonia National Park (Parc Cenedlaethol Eryri) in Gwynedd, and has been described as "probably the busiest mountain in Britain". It is designated as a national nature reserve for its rare flora and fauna.
The summit can be reached by a number of well-known paths, and by the Snowdon Mountain Railway, a rack and pinion railway opened in 1896 which carries passengers the 4.7 miles (7.6km) from Llanberis to the summit station. The summit also houses a cafe called Hafod Eryri, open only when the railway is operating and built in 2006 to replace one built in the 1930s. The railway generally operates to the summit station from Whitsun to October. The daily running schedule depends on weather and customer demand.
The station opened on September 7, 1981 with service on the Orange Line only, though the Blue Line platforms were built at the same time. At the time it was the western terminus of the Orange Line, taking over from Place-Saint-Henri; it is thus the only station to have been the terminus of two different lines. Service on the Blue Line began on January 4, 1988.
Overview
The station was constructed as an anti-directional cross-platform interchange, with three lateral tunnels containing two stories each, joined by four cross-tunnels; both lines therefore have stacked platforms. This layout was intended to allow rapid transfer between a future extension into Notre-Dame-de-Grâce and service to downtown; this service never opened, and the station's layout means that most people who transfer between the Blue and Orange Lines must go down stairs.
Ascending up to Crib Goch, Snowdon Massif, Snowdonia. Up to the knife edged ridge.
One of the most fantastic mountain ascents I’ve ever witnessed, from a moderate start at the pen-y-pass car park to a relentless uphill scramble holding on with some exposed areas. The views looking down are amazing especially on a clear day. Crib Goch is not for the faint hearted but if you’ve got the stomach for it, it may well be your best ever mountain outing in the UK.

Stunning Sunset Over the Snowdon Massif, Snowdonia
Taken on Wednesday 22nd January 2020. Snowdonia shows its majesty with a golden sunset reflected in Llynnau Mymbyr, just a minute outside Plas y Brenin National Outdoor Centre.
Although we’ve already done the Welsh 3000s we thought we would head to Snowdonia in Wales to recce the Snowdon Massif and Glyderau ranges in preparation for another traverse in June.
Starting from the car park at Pen y Pass we set off for Snowdon before heading to Garnedd Ugain and finally over Crib Goch to complete the Snowdon Massif range.
From there it’s a short run down the road to Nant Peris before turning right and heading up to the Glyderau. Mountains in this range are Elidir Fawr, Y Garn, Glyder Fawr, Glyder Fach and Tryfan. We made this route a circular by heading down the Miners Track from Bwlch Tryfan and back to the car park.

Llynnau Mymbyr with views of the Snowdon Massif - Jan 2019
http://historypoints.org/index.php?page=llynnau-mymbyr-viewpoint
From Wikipedia:
Llynnau Mymbyr are two lakes located in Dyffryn Mymbyr, a valley running from the village of Capel Curig to the Pen-y-Gwryd hotel in Snowdonia, north-west Wales. The A4086 runs along their northern banks.
Strictly speaking this is one lake, originally called Llyn Mymbyr, with a maximum depth of 30 feet. About 3/4 mile long in total, a delta has built up midway along the north shore, and this has to all purposes cut the lake in two - hence the plural name.

A Week Traversing Snowdonia's Highest Mountains | Thru-hike Wild Camp
Me and Drufus went backpacking across Snowdonia national park the hard way. We traversed as many of the highest mountains as we could en-route. This thru-hike took us from Dolgellau to Aber falls with the final night in Conwy. We spent the week wild camping through the route with a hostel or two on the way.
We crossed the Rhinogydd, Moelwynion, The Glyderau, The Snowdon Massif and Carneddau with a total of 6800m climb, 17 mountains and 74 miles or 120 kilometres distance.
If the shear amount of distance and elevation wasn't enough we got soaked for 3 or 4 days running, had to wade through waist deep grass, had a flysheet rip completely off the tent in the middle of the night, obtained mega blisters and muscles on fire. We carried everything we needed for our time on the trail which too...

If the shear amount of distance and elevation wasn't enough we got soaked for 3 or 4 days running, had to wade through waist deep grass, had a flysheet rip completely off the tent in the middle of the night, obtained mega blisters and muscles on fire. We carried everything we needed for our time on the trail which took us a full 7 days. We camped most of the route and stayed at 2 different hostels.

#snowdonia #thruhike #backpacking #camping #wales
One of the most fantastic mountain ascents I’ve ever witnessed, from a moderate start at the pen-y-pass car park to a relentless uphill scramble holding on with some exposed areas. The views looking down are amazing especially on a clear day. Crib Goch is not for the faint hearted but if you’ve got the stomach for it, it may well be your best ever mountain outing in the UK.
Taken on Wednesday 22nd January 2020. Snowdonia shows its majesty with a golden sunset reflected in Llynnau Mymbyr, just a minute outside Plas y Brenin National Outdoor Centre.
Although we’ve already done the Welsh 3000s we thought we would head to Snowdonia in Wales to recce the Snowdon Massif and Glyderau ranges in preparation for another traverse in June.
Starting from the car park at Pen y Pass we set off for Snowdon before heading to Garnedd Ugain and finally over Crib Goch to complete the Snowdon Massif range.
From there it’s a short run down the road to Nant Peris before turning right and heading up to the Glyderau. Mountains in this range are Elidir Fawr, Y Garn, Glyder Fawr, Glyder Fach and Tryfan. We made this route a circular by heading down the Miners Track from Bwlch Tryfan and back to the car park.

From Wikipedia:
Llynnau Mymbyr are two lakes located in Dyffryn Mymbyr, a valley running from the village of Capel Curig to the Pen-y-Gwryd hotel in Snowdonia, north-west Wales. The A4086 runs along their northern banks.
Strictly speaking this is one lake, originally called Llyn Mymbyr, with a maximum depth of 30 feet. About 3/4 mile long in total, a delta has built up midway along the north shore, and this has to all purposes cut the lake in two - hence the plural name.
Location Snowdonia, North Wales
Coordinates 53°5′53″N 3°55′47″WCoordinates: 53°5′53″N 3°55′47″W
Primary inflows Nantygwryd
Basin countries United Kingdom

Me and Drufus went backpacking across Snowdonia national park the hard way. We traversed as many of the highest mountains as we could en-route. This thru-hike took us from Dolgellau to Aber falls with the final night in Conwy. We spent the week wild camping through the route with a hostel or two on the way.
We crossed the Rhinogydd, Moelwynion, The Glyderau, The Snowdon Massif and Carneddau with a total of 6800m climb, 17 mountains and 74 miles or 120 kilometres distance.
If the shear amount of distance and elevation wasn't enough we got soaked for 3 or 4 days running, had to wade through waist deep grass, had a flysheet rip completely off the tent in the middle of the night, obtained mega blisters and muscles on fire. We carried everything we needed for our time on the trail which took us a full 7 days. We camped most of the route and stayed at 2 different hostels. I bought most of the meals on this trip from Base Camp Foods - https://basecampfood.com/?ref=y99pNHRoQexZkl
