Just a quick update. We got up and back off Snowdon with a 14.5 km route, taking 3 hrs 9 mins. Not the fastest time we could have done. The path was really bad in places and stopped any real speed over ground. Bryn's poor legs were burning up and energy low. It's been a long few days and we'll be starting again at 6 am and heading off for our next mountains.
It was heaven after a cold and rainy Old Man of Coniston speed hike/jog this morning. We got all the kit dry [again] and it was really nice to get Snowdon less the pouring rain we have been having. It almost made it fun!
All the best, we'll try to update again one our last day as we travel.

Heading for the winter hills: should you pack your crampons or micro-spikes?
-
It’s winter, and you want to stay safe on the hills as snow and ice blanket
the uplands. So should you pack your crampons, or will micro-spikes do the
job?
