Book details

Book description

A guidebook to nearly 70 hillwalking routes throughout Snowdonia in Wales, including the central areas of the Carneddau, Glyders and Snowdon, as well as outlying areas of the Moelwyns, Eifionydd, Rhinogs, Arenigs and Cader Idris. Each area has its own peculiar charm and the areas also vary in terms of popularity. Snowdon attracts a lot of first-time visitors and is in constant use during holiday and weekend periods, while venturing into the lower and less rugged mountains outside the three main areas will mean meeting only a handful of people. Steve lived in Snowdonia for 20 years, during which he gained an intimate knowledge of walks and climbs in the region. Among a number of mountaineering books he wrote at this time, the best known is his highly influential and now classic Scrambles in Snowdonia, which was largely responsible for reviving interest in this esoteric sport. For several years Steve was a columnist for High Mountain Sports and Country Living magazines. He currently works as an actor and playwright.
