**WEEKEND DESCRIPTION**

We are off to an exhilarating hike up Snowdon where surrounded by cirques, narrow crests and rocky cliffs our trail leads to the summit (1,085m). Snowdon is a serious and tough mountain offering a great challenge for anyone who dares to explore its rugged terrain and beauty. This spectacular mountain attracts around 600,000 walkers a year and was famously used by Edmund Hillary in training for his 1953 ascent of Mount Everest.

On a clear day the views from the summit are spectacular - spanning across 18 lakes, 14 mountain peaks and as far as the Isle of Man, Ireland and the Lake District.
