Day 9 – The ascent of Snowdon

We have decided to do two paths – Up on the Watkins path and down on the Snowdon Ranger path.

The path up started at quite a gentle incline


and then got steeper.

and then got very steep indeed with everyone having to climb up a slate shale incline using our hand as
well as legs.

Halfway up we stopped on the ridge for a rest and to take in the spectacular views. The weather was good
and we could see for miles.




Finally we made it to the top before the cloud came over.

even Stephen made it !

And Jess's uncle has promised to sponsor her if she did a hand stand on the summit. Cough up uncle!

The journey down was pleasant and sunny.

And every one was happy to arrive back at our hostel for the night.




So out for a meal to celebrate!


Yes it is a chocolate pizza with ice cream, cream, toffee chunks and marshmallow
(ughh)
