It was not just my first time in Snowdonia, it was my first time in Wales. I was a bit daunted by the road signs written in Welsh but persevered down the winding roads to Snowdonia National Park.

I was taken in by the amazing scenery and fresh air.  I love hillwalking so I had that sudden feeling of regret that I hadn’t come to Snowdonia 20 years earlier than I did! I saw some climbers here too, with their fall arrest equipment - scaling cliff edges and wragged looking rockfaces.  Not my cup of tea I have to say - I think I’ll stick with the hillwalking.
