Great-Britain, Wales: Return to Snowdonia
Great-Britain, Wales: Return to Snowdonia
This is the tale of my return to the spot where my enthusiasm for mountain hiking was born, bringing my daughter this time, who has a rather different view towards mountain hikes. Our exploration of North Wales with its mountains, lakes and fascinating coastline offers a recreational view on national park Snowdonia, rather than nature oriented.

'Hotel Pen-y-Gwyrd.'
We seek shelter in the Pen-y-Gwryd hotel, the most famous mountaineers hotel in Wales, lying at the foot of the Glyders. It served as the training base for Sir Edmund Hillarys Everest team. The interior consists of alcoves, finished in wood. The weathered climbing shoes of famous mountaineers hang on the ceiling. Photo Paul Smit. [BRITAIN.WALES 2434]
