Friday - Sunday: Pick up in Bangor.. A strenuous weekend climbing all of the peaks over 3000 ft in Snowdonia.

We will cover the Snowdon range one day, The Glyders the next and the Carneddau on the 3rd, although the order may change to make the most of the weather.

Accommodation is based in Beddgelert, a pituresque village in the heart of the Snowdonia National Park.

Friday - Pick up at Bangor railway station at 8:45.  Then we drive into the National park via the spectacular Ogwen Valley, from where we will walk one of the ridges in the Carneddau Range. This is the highest plateau area in the UK outside of Scotland, and offers some wild and exciting walking, with the possibility of some basic scrambling. We walk for 6-7 hours, then drive to the overnight accommodation in Beddgelert.

Saturday - A big day today as, weather permitting we will do the Snowdon Horseshoe. A demanding but very satisfying walk, with some scrambling and a notorious narrow ridge to cross. This requires a head for heights, but is well worth the effort. If the weather is not suitable, we will either do a ridge walk in the Glyder range, or find another route of interest on Snowdon. The days walking will be between 6 and 8 hours.

Sunday - Today we visit the beautiful Nantlle Ridge. This is on the Western side of the Park, with views out towards Ireland. The walking is varied, and includes some steep downhill sections. This must be one of the most interesting walks in Snowdonia, and we will take up to 6 hours.Then we will return to Bangor, aiming to arrive late afternoon/early evening.         

Friday - Pick up in Bangor at 8.45am.  Drive to Snowdonia National Park where we climb Cnicht.  Known as the "Matterhorn of Wales" for it's appearance, Cnicht or the "knight" looks impressive from the valley as we ascend and involves a scramble to reach the summit.  Overnight in Beddgelert.

Saturday - Today we walk in the Carneddau.  This is the highest plateau area in the UK outside of Scotland.  We will climb Pen yr Ole Wen, Carnedd Dafydd and Carnedd Llywelyn.  Today is a big day with spectacular views.  Overnight in Beddgelert.

Sunday - We start today lakeside at Llyn Dinas and ascend Moel Y Dyniewyd with fantastic views of Cnicht and Snowdon. Descending down past various mine workings, the path then follows the river along the beautiful Aber Glaslyn Gorge and into Beddgelert.  This route is a lower level walk which takes in many elements of spectacular scenery often missed.  Return to Bangor late afternoon.
