Last Minute Dash - Snowdon Pyg Track

In January the snow started to fall again, and as the newspapers predictably forecast the end of the world, Sam and I decided to take an impromptu trip to Snowdon. As is often the case the 'end of the world' snow didn't quite materialise but we did arrive in gale force winds.

For that reason we decided to take a quick journey to the summit of Snowdon via the Pyg Track. The track runs up the inside of the Snowdon Horseshoe and would afford us some protection from the wind, at least until the final ridge.

We've come to know this track like the back of our hands as it's often our route down Snowdon after a tougher route to the summit.

We wandered up keeping fingers crossed for snow but alas it was not to be. No shortage of wintery conditions up to though!

Well worth a quick dash on a weekend. In the evening we treated ourselves to a Pizza at a regular place in Llanberis and the following morning we managed to get out to Idwal for a cup of tea at the lake.

Here's to next time...
