I am so, so upset that my dad is travelling during these times,
you can't imagine how sad I feel that I'm likely to miss out not
only on a CacheWalker event, but a hike up a mountain. :'(

Shame it looks like you can't make it :(

If you managed Bredon without too much trouble then I would say
that you will be OK on Snowdon, I can assure you we won't leave
you behind.
As Walk Tall says clothing is important, it can be 20 degrees
colder at the top than at the start of the walk. Personally
(probably over the top) I take enough kit to spend the night on
the mountain. Probably the Scout Leader coming out in me.

There is a cafe at the top but the prices are high and could be
busy.

BUT they sell Welsh Oggie's

John, how long would you guess it will take to get up there, 3
hours or so?

I was going to say we should start at 8:30 and have a gentle
stroll up to the top, that way there should be plenty of
photo/refreshment breaks

Was just looking at the train for those who are taking it.In the
essential info section it says you only have 30 min on the
summit before you have to board and go back down.Will this be a
problem for the event?,that is of course if i have read it
right.

Yes, you have read it right. You have to return on the same
train otherwise they might get a backlog of passengers on later
trains. The walkers will just have to wait if the train
passengers aren't there quite on time. I think it will be a case
of planning it on the actual day.

Thanks for the comparison walktall.Have to say,barring one or
two short steep bits,there is not too much between them,i'm more
relaxed after seeing that! ;)
