"A few years back I managed to climb Ben Nevis and Scafell Pike, the highest peaks of Scotland and England. Both hiking trips were very enjoyable. With time marching on, this year I decided to travel to Wales to go up Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa) the highest mountain in Wales." ⛰️ ☀️

Read "Hiking Snowdon" by Contours team member Gosia:

Hiking Snowdon provides a great challenge and even greater views, with multiple paths to pick from to ascend to the summit (and back again).
