Snowdonia

Managed to "bag" Mt. Snowdon yesterday, along with literally hundreds of other people! We didn't get off to an alpine start - had a 90 minute drive to get through first, but got underway about 11 a.m. I couldn't believe the number of people with us! The Welsh are great walkers, I must say. We had good weather, but the distance views were not superb so didn't get to see the Isle of Man from the top of the peak. There were so many people on the peak at any given time, my summit shot will look mighty crowded. We chose the "tourist route" which was extremely busy, but any other routes we observed looked busy as well. It's not quite a highway, but that's pretty much how I'd have to describe that route. No snow, at least, but hordes of people! Now have a triumvirate - Ben Nevis, Snowdon and Snaefell in Isle of Man for "big" peaks in this area.
