Snowdon April 2004 Trip Report

Sunday 25th April 2004

Despite being so close to the start of exams, 36 people turned up. A shorter-than-usual Hike 1 went up Snowdon along the ranger path, and descended via the Rhyd Ddu path. The hike was split up with a group of three alcoholics who wanted to finish the hike quickly to get to the pub (they got there at 3:20!), and a more sensibly paced group behind. A third group went the opposite way round, and made it back to Rhyd Ddu with five minutes to spare having taken a "short cut". Hike 2 did a scramble on Nantlle Ridge, and Hike 3 climbed Moel Eilio and Foel Gron. Everyone had a great time, and the only complaints were about the sunburn.
