Book description
A guide to 40 great mountain day walks and scrambles in Snowdonia,
Wales, UK. These inspirational new routes along the valleys and along
the tops range right across the National Park and are divided into 8
geographical regions: Snowdon and Moel Eilio, the Glyderau, the
Carneddau, Eifionydd, Siabod and the Moelwynion, Rhinogydd (the Harlech
Dome), Migneint and the Arans and Cadair Idris and the Tarrens. All
routes are graded, from moderate to strenuous, and illustrated with
Harvey map extracts, topo diagrams by Mark Richards and lots of stunning
photographs. Inviting the reader to experience less well-known regions
as much as those that are eternally popular, these mainly circular day
walks have been chosen to encourage independent exploration of the
National Park, while offering clear guidance for those who prefer their
walking days to be tailor-made. The author's deep knowledge of and
passion for this much-loved region shines through. Some routes include
mild scrambling or long days in rugged country, and many can be enjoyed
all year round. Terry Marsh is a full-time writer and photographer
specialising in the outdoors. His involvement with Snowdonia began in
1970 when he moved to Bangor, and soon became a voluntary warden in the
Snowdonia National Park. His first book was 'The Summits of Snowdonia',
followed a year later by 'The Mountains of Wales'. This is his seventh
book for Cicerone.
