Book description
The second book in a two-volume series describing walking routes up
every 2000-footer in Wales - all 166 of them. The result is not just a
guide to the mountains of Snowdonia, but a handbook of over 450 routes
covering 21 Welsh mountain ranges - the whale-backed ridges of the Black
Mountains, the Brecon Beacons' precipitous escarpments, the Cwmdeuddwr
uplands, Plynlimon's unknown valleys, the heather clad Berwyns, Cader
Idris, the vast solitudes of the Arans and Arenigs, the Rhinogs and the
wildest land in Wales. For those longer days the author also suggests
over 100 high level traverses. This volume covers: the Ffestiniog hills,
Fforest Fawr, Glyders, Hirnants, Mynydd Du, Nantlle/Hebog hills,
Plynlimon, Radnor Forest, Rhinogs, Siabod/Moelwyns, Snowdon and Tarrens.
Peter Hermon was a frequent trekker in his school days but for most of
his working life was an executive with BOAC and then British Airways.
Despite travelling the world, and the lure of the British hills never
paled and he still explores the peaks of Lakeland, Wales and the
Pennines.
