Sam and I have been determined to climb a mountain for months. From base to summit. No help or trains. Just our legs. Walking. We nearly did in July in Scotland but weather prevented us. Again in Norway we tried twice. The first time we couldn't find the path. The second time the snow was waist deep on the path. So when planning our Easter break, mountains was a top priority. We decided to drive to Wales and climb the biggest mountain in Wales - Snowdon. We did very little preparation for this as we are already pretty well seasoned walkers and hikers. And so we climbed the mountain.
We started on the Rhyd-Ddu Path which is apprantly the 'secret path' as it is the least used but it boast some amazing scenery and some very dramatic cliffs and rocks formation the nearer you get to the top and it does get your heart racing just a little bit.
I took us about three hours to get to the summit which is about average. We ended up in the clouds and the thin air did make me feel a bit queasy and the steep uphills were pretty painful but we made it to the top where we enjoyed our Adventure Food ration pack. Such a huge sense of achievement knowing that we finally did and now are looking forward to hopefully climbing Ben Nevis at some point!
