MY WALKING WORLD David Preston

The Snowdon Horseshoe

 
 
14/09/03 - This walk around the Snowdon Horseshoe included Crib Goch, Crib y Ddysgl, Snowdon, Y Lliwed, Lliwedd East Peak,Lliwedd Bach, Gallt Wenallt-

Although only around 8 miles this was one of the toughest walks I have done for a long time. Crib Goch was exciting but scary and I would be cautious about doing this ridge again  except in very good conditions
