What equipment is needed for a walk up Snowdon?
Walking up Snowdon you must be prepared for a change in the weather, which means you must take some warm, waterproof clothing with you however fine it is when you set off. Inadequate footwear is also a common cause of accidents – wear a good walking boot that supports your ankles rather than simply trainers, however good their tread. Of course when there is snow on the mountain you need to take special precautions, and you should be aware that the weather can change very quickly and visibility can suddenly reduce. These mountains are not high when compared to mountains in many other countries, but they are classic mountain terrain and have the dangers associated with this. Be respectful of the environment and weather, and take care.
