We made it
January 4th, 2003 | Filed under Outdoors.
Today we went up Snowdon via the Pyg Track, and then down the Tourist Track.
Once again it was really icy and slippy, but the path is slightly more worn going up the Pyg Track so we were OK. There was one point though where the track disappears at the bottom of a steep bit of rock. We went around it and started climbing up towards some metal pegs poking out the rock. Don’t go that way, there’s a deep mineshaft right below you!
Arrived on the top, staggered to the trig point then huddled behind the cafe trying to eat sandwiches with frozen fingers. After a short stop it was off down the railway and then onto the tourist track.
The tourist track is so long and boring! It’s like walking down a flat road! It takes twices as long as going any other way. Did bring us out next to the car though, which was alright (we caught the bus from Llanberis to the Snowdon Carpark at the beginning) since there’s nothing worse than having to trudge miles along the road.
If you’re ever going up the tourist track, stand at the bottom. See Snowdon way off in the distance? That’s where you’re going.
