Advice for Spectators We like to encourage spectators along the route to cheer on our runners. However, the mere geography of the course can make this very difficult. If you are planning to watch the race, please make sure to be at your location in plenty of time and try to avoid driving on the course when you are likely to encounter large numbers of runners. When planning your vantage point, it is worth remembering that the Llanberis Pass will be closed from 10:00am until about midday (it is a rolling closure following the last runner). There is also diversion in place in Waunfawr and the Llanberis High Street is closed from Capel Coch road to the bypass for the duration of the race. There are a number of cafes and pubs around the route that might be good spectator locations. Caffi Gwynant http://www.cafesnowdon.co.uk/ A variety of options in Beddgelert http://www.beddgelerttourism.com/eat-drink/ Ty Mawr tea room http://www.snowdonaccommodation.co.uk/index.php/Tea%20room The Cwellyn Arms http://www.snowdoninn.co.uk/ Snowdonia Park http://www.snowdonia-park.co.uk/ Lots of scope in Llanberis too http://www.llanberis.org/Eating--and-Drinking.html For those of you planning to stay in Llanberis to wait for the finishers, you will find plenty to do. Try the village website for ideas http://www.llanberis.org/ We don't encourage people to follow the race on bikes. The added traffic can cause problems. We have a number of official support cyclists and they will have special high vis jackets on so will be easily identifiable. We hope you enjoy your day in Snowdonia. If you need any more information, just drop us a line [email protected] www.snowdoniamarathon.com .

Llanberis Path, Snowdon © Crown copyright. All rights reserved. 100022403, 2011 Distance: 9 miles (14½km) (there and back) Ascent: 3199 feet (975 metres) Time: About 6 hours (there and back) Grade: Mountain Walk Start / Finish: Far end of Victoria Terrace, Llanberis, off the A4086 (SH 581 594) Relevant Map: Ordnance Survey Explorer OL 17 (Snowdon & Conwy Valley) Parking There isn’t a car park at the start of the path but there are car parks in Llanberis village itself. In the high season you may descend by another of the Snowdon paths and catch the Sherpa bus back to your vehicle. © 2010 Snowdonia National Park Authority Llanberis Path, Snowdon Llanberis Path is the longest and most gradual of the six main paths to the summit of Snowdon, and offers fantastic views of Cwm Brwynog, Llanberis and over the Menai straights towards Anglesey. This is the most popular path amongst leisurely walkers as it is thought to be the easiest to walk in mild weather, but in winter, the highest slopes of the path can become very dangerous. The path mainly follows the Snowdon Mountain Railway track, and goes by Hebron, Halfway and Clogwyn stations. Before the railway was opened in 1896, visitors employed guides to lead them to the summit along this path on mule-back. A remarkable geological feature can be seen from the Llanberis path, the Clogwyn Du’r Arddu syncline. The syncline was formed over thousands of years, as the earth moved and transformed horizontal depos- its into vertical layers of rock. Safety Note The Llanberis Path and Snowdon Mountain Railway cross above Clogwyn Coch.

Description: 1.1 This is a full application to replace 32 touring caravans with 25 static units that would be available for use as self-catering holiday accommodation throughout the year on the site known as Cwm Cadnant, near Llanberis Road in Caernarfon (following discussions in considering the application, the number of new units has been reduced from 29 to 25). The site currently has single driveways, a play area, landscaping that includes trees, bushes and green areas, a washroom/toilet block, office/reception, bin storage and specific pitches for tents to the north of Cadnant river, with touring caravans and motorhomes to the south of the river. The proposal would entail dispersing chalets/holiday cabins within the area where the touring caravans are currently located. There would be no change to the camping area and its location on the northern side of the river. 1.2 The proposed timber cabins would be in three sizes, all with flat roofs, ranging between 3m and 4m in height, depending on the slope of the ground.

Snowdonia & the Llŷn
© Lonely Planet Publications Pty Ltd SNOWDONIA & THE LLŶN 3 PERFECT DAYS DAY 1 // CONQUER THE MOUNTAIN Check the weather forecast before making an assault on Snowdon (p226). If you’re ﬁt, catch the Snowdon Sherpa bus to Pen-y-Pass and take the Pyg Track (p227). Time your descent via the Rhyd Ddu Path to catch the Welsh Highland Railway (p244) back to Caernarfon. If you’re not up for climbing, head to Llanberis and take the Snowdon Mountain Railway (p227). You’ll be up and down the mountain in 2½ hours, leaving plenty of time to check out the National Slate Museum (p230) and Dolbadarn Castle (p231) before stocking up on mead at Snowdon Honey Farm (p231). Head to Caer- narfon and watch the sunset over the Menai Strait from beside the city walls before dining at the Black Boy Inn (p235). DAY 2 // BE A PILGRIM Spend the morning exploring Caernarfon Castle (p233) before heading for the Llŷ n Peninsula. Ideally you’ll have prebooked a boat to Bardsey but if they’re not running, make do with gazing at the island from Braich-y-Pwll (p239). Abersoch (p241), Cric- cieth (p243) and Porthmadog (p244) are good places to stop for the night, but Harlech (p218) has the best restaurants – along with another World Heritage castle. DAY 3 // A SCENIC OVERLOAD Wherever you ended up, take the scenic A498 through the Pass of Aberglaslyn and back into the national park. Spend the day pottering along the route between Beddge- lert (p228) and Betws-y-Coed (p222), stopping at the lakes, lookouts and falls.

Do It Yourself Trips Snowdon
DO IT YOURSELF TRIPS international Student Support Office SNOWDON DESCRIPTION: Snowdon is the highest mountain in Wales. With a peak of 1085 metres, it is the highest point in Wales and England. It is popular with walkers, climbers and geologists. There are several walking routes up Snowdon, plus the Snowdon Mountain Railway line (see below), along which you can see breath-taking scenery and the unique geology of the area which has been formed and sculpted by ice age glaciers. For more information about the village of Llanberis, see the separate D.I.Y. Trip sheet. WALKING UP SNOWDON: EQUIPMENT: There are six paths up Snowdon. All are classed as hard mountain walks. Make sure that you wear appropriate clothes and footwear, and check the weather forecast before you set off. Even if it is warm and mild in Bangor or Llanberis, it can be cold and very windy at the top of the mountain – so always take extra layers of clothes. The Snowdonia National Park website has some very important and useful Mountain Safety Advice, including what equipment to take with you. Routes: The Snowdonia National Park website has details of the different routes up Snowdon, the starting points are marked on the map (bottom right). The booklet ‘Snowdon Walking Routes’ also has details of the individual routes. The least-demanding is the Llanberis Path which takes around 6 hours in total. The Miners Track is also very popular, it also takes around 6 hours. The Miners Track is ideal if you wish to take a walk on Snowdon without going all the way to the summit – the walk from Pen-Y-Pass to Llyn Llydaw (the larger lake on the route) is along a not-too-steep path and takes around 1 hour each way.

Development here would integrate well with the existing pattern of development in the village. • The site is within easy walking distance of the services and community facilities of the village which includes a primary school, a public house, a playing field and a regular bus service. • There is no previously used land in the village that would be suitable for a housing development on this scale. Physical constraints • It is unlikely that the land is contaminated. to development Development phases • It will be expected for the development of the site to be phased. The logical and gradual release of land will be a way to mitigate the impact of the development on the local area. The exact details of the phased development will be negotiated with the developer at the planning application stage.
