Each year there is an annual “walk off the mince pies” walk in the Snowdonia National Park organised by the Walking For Pleasure Facebook group. This year the walk started in Llanberis and took in Moel Eilio (726m), Foel Gron (629m), Foel Goch (605m) and Moel Cynghorion (674m) and Susan, and I decided we would do it!

Walking For Pleasure is a facebook group that has been running now for several years and, each year, there is a social meet-up to walk up Mount Snowdon on or near St Davids Day and 2019 was no different.

Susan and I were very fortunate to have been in the area when this walk came up. The weather had been completely rubbish in the week leading up to the walk and it was only at the end of Friday that the forecast showed any signs that, if nothing else, it might not rain on the day of the walk, Sunday.

The weather had been difficult over the past few days to say the least and the forecast for today was not much better. In the hostel, the talk over breakfast was about the heavey rain and strong winds forecast for today.

It was raining when I left the hostel, I was planning on catching the bus from Capel Curig to Idal Cottage but when I reached the bus stop the time table told me that I had about an hour to wait for the next bus.

Having had a great wild camp in the Brecon Beacons I made my way to Snowdonia stopping briefly for lunch in Betws y Coed.

Today’s objective was Snowdon and after the terrible weather yesterday the MWIS forecast seemed to be in our favour with clear skies, no rain, 15mph winds, a wind chill of only -1 to -3, and a 90% chance of a cloud-free summit.

Overnight snow had fallen across Snowdonia and the MWIS weather report forecast winds over 40 mph and a windchill of -20 on the summits so we knew would be doing a low-level walk to avoid the worst of the weather.

Today was the first of our three walks and we were heading to Cnicht. I had never heard of this mountain and didn’t have a clue where it was located. Not far from Beddgelert as it turns out!

Are you tired of being stuck in the office? Bored of being chained to a desk? Counting down the days until retirement?
Me too!!
