Hiking up and down Mount Snowdon is much better – anyone with a decent condition can do it, you don’t have to run up like those soldiers did that passed us (heavy packs on their backs and all)! Just don’t go alone: it’s rather easy to lose the trail - especially if there’s a mist coming up (as we experienced): a good map and compass - and knowing how to use them—are essential, even if you’re only hiking down.

Given that all that, it’s an experience to never forget—and I won’t!
