As part of the Snowdon Horseshoe. | alunrees40 | 18/04/2023 |
Parked on A4086, just east of the county boundary. Walked back along the road and up the permissive path to Pen y Pass. Took the PYG track to Bwlch y Moch, then followed the fence up to Craig Fach. Back to and along the PYG track up to the top of the zig zags, then right to Crib y Ddysgl, then back along the corrie rim to Snowdon. Very busy on top, with an hour's queue for the pillar. Above 800m, it was quite snowy, with those only equipped with trainers doing much sliding! From the summit headed down the steep Watkin path, which thankfully was fairly snow free. Along the west ridge of the horseshoe, visiting Y Lliwedd (W+E peaks) and Lliwedd Bach. Then down to the Miner's Track, with a quick diversion to bag Clogwyn Pen Llechen. On reaching Pen y Pass went up and over Moel Berfedd, dropping down to the A4086. 19km in total with 1400m ascent, taking me 9 hours. | silverwolf_alan | 15/04/2023 |

Snowdon horseshoe. Amazing day in perfect weather | Barns150 | 09/07/2022 |
Paked at Nant Peris park and ride for £5 where there is toilets and caught the sherpa bus £3 to Pen y pass. Intended to walk the full Snowdon horseshoe but it was too windy for Crib Goch, so climbed via the Miners track to the 998 point and turned right for a quick ascent of Crib y Ddysgl, continuing on from here to snowdon and around to Y Lliwedd, Lliwedd east top, Lliwedd Bach and Gallt y Wenallt, caution should be taken on descending off snowdon to the south as its very loose. Ten and half mile in Seven and half hours. | WAYNE ROWLETT | 25/06/2022 |

A traverse of Snowdonifrom Pen y Pass to Llanberis including Craig Fach, Gallt y Wenallt, Y Llwedd, and Llechog. Weather improved throughout day. Rain cleared and clouds lifted. Eventually some sushine. Quiet on our route until we came upon the Watkin Path. But good to see so many folks having fun on the hills. With B and R. | jenx | 22/05/2021 |

From Nantgwynant via Watkin's Path. Onwards to Snowdon summit. Descend from Snowdon via south ridge and climbed to summit of Yr Aran. Return via path making a descending traverse north of the east ridge, pausing to look at disused mine workings (marked) from which old mining tramways were used to return to the valley bottom and return to the starting point. With Mike Raffe. | raffemeister | 28/08/2019 |
Round of Yr Aran, Snowdon and Y Lliwedd from Bethania CP. Looks intimidating from Snowdon and is rather craggy and stony but following some helpful cairns avoids any serious scrambling. | Topographer57 | 01/08/2019 |
