Snowdonia Ridges Weekend

‘When you say ‘hill’ – I could show you hills in comparison with which you would call that a valley.’

Said the Red Queen to Alice. (Adventures in Wonderland).
 

The weekend is suitable for all person with some experience of hill-walking. There is some Grade 1 scrambling – that is scrambling that does not need a rope. There will be some ‘airy’ situations, so its good to have a steady ‘head for heights’. You will need to have a reasonable standard of fitness, and to have with you decent gear for the mountain.
