We walked up the Miner's Walk and came down the Pyg Track. And here's some pics of the weary walkers at the end!

Even though the weather wasn't fab, there were still some amazing views to be had on our walk up Snowdon!

Some photoes of Gerald and I walking up Snowdon. Nice easy terrain! (smile)

Well my father-in-law and I achieved the Snowdon 500 challenge last Saturday - 16th May 2009. It was a charity walk up Snowdon with 500 other crazy people in aid of Prostate Cancer Research. Although it was technically a "walk in the Park" (the Park being the Snowdonia National Park) it also involved a lot of scrambling in atrocious weather conditions. We were turned back from the actual summit itself by marshals as it was clearly too dangerous to proceed - gusts of up to 70 mphs, and low cloud so you couldn't see anything anyway! So we'll have to go back another day and get to the top. Maybe when the weather is better!

But here's some pictures of the day for you to enjoy, starting at the beginning!
