  • Paragliding & Hang Gliding in Snowdonia
    Paragliding & Hang Gliding in Snowdonia Introduction Hang gliding and paragliding are well developed adventure sports worldwide. Nowhere is this more evident than in Snowdonia, an area where many well known pilots have honed their skills. The complex geology and meteorology of the area make flying its world class sites both a pleasure and a challenge. Essentially paragliding and hang gliding are the simplest and lowest cost ways of flying free, hence the term 'free flight' used to describe both arms of the sport. With portable equipment, a pilot can take off from a hillside or be towed into the air. From there it is possible to soar and thermal like birds, travelling along ridges and circling up to the clouds to travel XC or 'cross country'. This is as close to being a bird as humans can presently achieve, open to the elements with no engine noise to destroy the peace. Hang gliding is the oldest arm of the sport and uses a rigid structure to maintain the wing's shape and integrity. The pilot 'hangs' prone beneath the frame generating very efficient flight. At present very little hang gliding takes place in Snowdonia because of a combination of the weight of the wing (about 30kg) and a lack of easy access to suitable take off points. Paragliding is the baby of the sport and is still rapidly developing, flying slower than hang gliders, paragliders are relatively quick and easy to master. A paraglider is essentially a twin skinned parachute which, when inflated during takeoff and flight, takes up a classic wing shape.

    WIRRAL RAMBLERS SUNDAY 9th NOVEMBER 2008 MOEL EILIO (LLANBERIS) A WALK Start Llanberis and we take the Llanberis Path towards the summit of Snowdon but stop for lunch where it joins the Pyg Track. We then descend the Ranger Path before climbing Foel Goch, Foel Gron and Moel Eilio, and head back to Lanberis. There was snow above 2000ft on Snowdon last Saturday so sticks are recommended if not essential. This walk is only suitable for ‘A’ walkers experienced in the hills. DISTANCE: 19.3km (12 miles) 20 POINTS ASCENT 1250m (4100ft) B PLUS WALK Starting from the car park on the A4086 (GR 581601) we make our way on minor roads, passing the Youth Hostel to head north west to reach the track to start the ascent of Moel Elio (2,382’). From the summit, heading south east we follow the ridge over Foel Gron/Foel Goch to descend steeply to Bwlch Maesgwn. Continuing ahead we reach the Snowdon Ranger Path and then head east along the path as far as Llyn Ffynnon-y-Gwas. Turning north we make our way back to Llanberis via Helfa-Fawr. DISTANCE: 16.1km (10 miles) 15 POINTS ASCENT 760m (2500ft) B MINUS WALK From Llanberis we climb gradually via minor road and track to the Bryn Mawr Gate (557559) and part climb Moel Eilio via Bryn Mawr to 520m, descending northwest to the trees and a track northeast around to Cefn-du quarries (554599).

  • Hill Walking & Mountaineering
    Hill Walking & Mountaineering in Snowdonia Introduction The craggy heights of Snowdonia are justly regarded as the finest mountain range south of the Scottish Highlands. There is a different appeal to Snowdonia than, within the picturesque hills of, say, Cumbria, where cosy woodland seems to nestle in every valley and each hillside seems neatly manicured. Snowdonia’s hillsides are often rock strewn with deep rugged cwms biting into the flank of virtually every mountainside, sometimes converging from two directions to form soaring ridges which lead to lofty peaks. The proximity of the sea ensures that a fine day affords wonderful views, equally divided between the ever- changing seas and the serried ranks of mountains fading away into the distance. Eryri is the correct Welsh version of the area the English call Snowdonia; Yr Wyddfa is similarly the correct name for the summit of Snowdon, although Snowdon is often used to demarcate the whole massif around the summit. The mountains of Snowdonia stretch nearly fifty miles from the northern heights of the Carneddau, looming darkly over Conwy Bay, to the southern fringes of the Cadair Idris massif, overlooking the tranquil estuary of the Afon Dyfi and Cardigan Bay. From the western end of the Nantlle Ridge to the eastern borders of the Aran range is around twenty- five miles. Within this area lie nine distinct mountain groups containing a wealth of mountain walking possibilities, while just outside the National Park, the Rivals sit astride the Lleyn Peninsula and the Berwyns roll upwards to the east of Bala. The traditional bases of Llanberis, Bethesda, Capel Curig, Betws y Coed and Beddgelert serve the northern hills and in the south Barmouth, Dinas Mawddwy, Dolgellau, Tywyn, Machynlleth and Bala provide good locations for accessing the mountains.

You should use the most recent version of the relevant Ordnance Survey map (see below) when walking the route. Distance: 8 miles (13km) (there and back) Ascent: 3071 feet (936 metres) Time: About 6 hours (there and back) Grade: Mountain Walk Start / Finish: Llyn Cwellyn Car Park, off the A4085 (SH 564 551) Relevant Map: Ordnance Survey Explorer OL 17 (Snowdon & Conwy Valley) © 2010 Snowdonia National Park Authority Snowdon Ranger Path, Snowdon This path up Snowdon is thought to be the earliest of the six main routes to the summit. Before the road through Llanberis Pass was built, men lugged copper ore from the Britannia Copper Mine on Snowdon up the eastern side of the mountain to Bwlch Glas. Horses would then draw the ore down on a sledge along this path to the shores of Llyn Cwellyn to be transported by horse and cart to Caernarfon. The path was named in English after a mountain guide called John Morton who called himself the ‘Snow- don Ranger’. At the beginning of the nineteenth century he built an inn on the site where the Youth Hostel stands today, opposite the car park. The inn was known as the ‘Snowdon Ranger’, ‘Snowdon Inn’ or ‘Glanllyn’ (meaning ‘lakeside’), from where he would guide visitors to the summit of Snowdon along this path. The path climbs gradually up to, and around the slopes of Moel Cynghorion to Bwlch Cwm Brwynog. It then climbs steeply over the shoulder above Clogwyn Du’r Arddu before merging with the Llanberis path, and then the Pyg and Miners’ tracks at Bwlch Glas, and then on to the summit.
