Mountain Walks Yr Wyddfa/Snowdon by local mountaineer Kate Worthington is a brilliant guide to the variety of walking routes to the summit of Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa). As well as the traditional Snowdon summit routes, there are also lower-level alternatives for mixed weather or shorter days and for those new to mountain walking. All with a ‘Snowdon’ theme.
The pocket-sized book details 15 inspiring routes on and around Snowdon including all the classics such as the Snowdon Horseshoe which takes you over the grade one scramble of Crib Goch and the popular Snowdon Skyline which gives a stunning circular walk from the village of Llanberis.
If you’re after something a bit easier, there are routes as short as a couple of miles like an easy three mile walk around Dinorwig quarries or you could take on ‘The Horns’ from Pen-y-Pass, both of which will grant you views of the summit of Snowdon (assuming you’re out on a clear day!)
Even those who know the area around Snowdon well will find new route ideas to discover. Whether you aspire to climb Snowdon via one of the more straightforward routes or you’re up for a bigger adventure, this well presented guidebook is just what you need.
Each route features impressive photography, clear Ordnance Survey maps, easy-to-follow, detailed directions as well as essential information about public transport and important safety advice. You’ll also find details about the terrain and navigation; local facilities, refreshment options and other points of interest.
