Over Easter I walked up mount Snowdon in Wales with my dad. We camped at a local camp site for £5 a night each. Then walked up the mountain early Saturday morning. We thought that we got there early, but at 9am the car park was full at the base station and so we had to walk from the very bottom. It took about 3 hours to walk to the top and then we took the long (easier) way down. My knees were screwed on the way down.
On Saturday night though we went to the pub instead of cooking crappy camping food and i had a nice lamb shoulder.
Definitely a great experience and we plan to walk up skegness pike or go up to cumbria and walk up the mountains up there. We got a parking ticket from the welsh police for parking at the bottom of the moutain, so did about 300 other people. a £35 fine or £70 if you don't pay, didn't ruin the trip, but what a way to greet tourists. fools.
nice pictures btw.
