Country High Point #3 – Wales – Snowdon (1085m)

Third 3rd and final country highpoint on this trip was Wales, this was part of my National 3 Peaks Challenge and it was the first time I had proper views over Snowdonia on my 6th attempt of Snowdon.

Again I won’t go into major detail on this individual post.

You can see the route information and hiking data below.

Up one route and down another kept it interesting on the way back to the Pen-y-Pass car park.

Route Overview

Arriving at the Pen-y-Pass carpark at around 3:30am-ish. With us starting in the dark, out came the headtorches.

A really varied route ascending the Pyg Track which I’d not done before, this was fun.

A few pics at the summit before heading back via the Miners Track, I do remember doing this one back in the day. We rocked up to complete the National 3 Peaks challenge in 23 hours and 11 minutes.
