We had two days for walking and split ourselves into small groups so that everyone could choose a route s/he liked.
| It was a weekend trip. We stayed in a bunkhouse in Gwern Gof Isaf.
From there we had a nice view at Tryfan (915m) which can be seen in the
background to the right.

| First Day: Glyder Fawr (999m)
Here is the route that I joined on the first day. It is marked by a blue line; we were going anticlockwise; grid lines are drawn at 1 km distance. The round blobs on the route (in this case four) denote the places where the photos were taken. |
 |
| First we drove along a road and then we had a walk southwards along lake Llyn Idwal. |  |
| As you see it was quite windy even at the bottom of a mountain. |  |
| Enrolling the trip I didn't know what `scramble' means in English;
I thougt it is some derivative of `ramble' so hadn't paid attention to
the word scramble in the route plan. Suddenly I was told by Hilary that
to `scramble' is to climb a wall like the one on the photo.
It is a hard way to learn English but very efficient: now I will never forget this verb! |

| Second Day: Snowdon (1085m)
Here the route of the second day: we were walking clockwise and on our way back we used a part of the same path as coming. |
 |
| We arrive at a path-fork... The map will show us the right way! |  |
| No, we don't choose the right way: we turn left... |  |
| With a bit of luck we climb Snowdow! Unluckily the mist is so thick that nothing can be seen from there. |  |
| Nobody fancied a swim but we found a more exciting entertainment: throwing stones into the water! |  |
