Snowdon
...climb the mountain so you can see the world...
Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) stands at over 1000m above sea level. It is, quite simply, one of the most beautiful mountains in the UK; The view from the top has been rated as 'Britain's Best View'. For this reason, it is understandable that Yr Wyddfa continues to be one of the busiest mountains in the world. Fortunately, as a local to Eryri (Snowdonia), I know the park and it's mountains inside-out. Let me guide you to the top whilst distancing from the crowds for as long as possible.

Typically the ratio of instructors to participants is 1:12.

"I wanted to personally say a massive "THANK YOU" for doing such a great job, leading such a diverse group of walkers up and down Snowdon. Everyone was very enthusiastic about the experience, but most of all, they had enormous praise for you and the professional, caring and entertaining way you led the group."
