North Wales and Snowdonia
The Glyderau and Llyn Ogwen
WORK IN PROGRESS! Descriptions of favourite routes with detailed OS mapping
Scrambling guides covering all of the routes I've completed so far
In many ways, Snowdonia is more convenient than the Lakes for a hiker without private transport. The mountains are contained within a few compact ranges: Snowdon, Glyderau, Carneddau, Eifionedd and a few outliers such as the Rhinogs. The good news is that the Glyderau and Carneddau can be reached on foot from Ogwen. A base at Capel Curig, with access to a car, will enable you to reach the Snowdon range as well.
I don't walk as extensively in this area as the Lake District, but I plan to make at least one trip per year to North Wales, and eventually (fingers crossed!) I will have climbed all of the Welsh 3000ers. They are listed in the table below.
