Welcome to Walk Eryri, a website about walking and hillwalking in Eryri (Walking in Snowdonia ) Wales.

 Site Centred Maps from Aqua 3 10% OFF all OS Maps and FREE POSTAGE, includes the best map search engine I've seen on any website. Makes picking your map a doddle.

It includes hill walks/ hillwalks and walking in Snowdonia and North Wales, photo gallery, walking routes and GPS logs (Tracklogs and Memory Map). I promote quiet walking holidays in the less frequented areas of Snowdonia, wilder, more remote walks. Go off the beaten track, ease the pressure of footpath erosion on Snowdonia's overcrowded PYG and Miners Tracks. Above all, Go Your Own Way!

What's New?

15th May 2008 Some new routes added, Garn, Glyderau and Tryfan from Ogwen and Moel Siabod and Carnedd y Cribau from Pen y Gwryd. No photos yet though, too busy packing for a wild camp tomorrow night. Don't forget the Snowdonia Mountain Weather Outlook on the blog.

22nd April 2008 New tool added to our Navigational Skills page. The Pacing and Timing Creator allows you to put your pacing rate in and automatically produces a timing and pacing grid suited to your pacing rate. It's not rocket science, and the Excel skills needed are those of a five year old, but it's not something i could find online so decided to make it myself.

19th April 2008 Added a new Snowdonia route Mynydd Mawr from Rhosgadfan. A new section for Scotland and the Lakes have also been added and the Routes page has had a redesign as there's just so many routes on here. Route profiles are also no more as they're just a hassle to produce and you can tell reasonably enough from the maps which parts are likely to be steep or not.

What else is new?

Best Mountain Walks

Snowdon South Ridge at Dusk. Amazing quick assault onYr Wyddfa after work. Recommend evening walking to anyone with the exeperience to descend in dark if needed. (12.5km 950m ascent) Hard	Glyderau Range Traverse. Strarting from Deiniolen, over Elidir Fawr, Y Garn, Glyderau and down over Y Foel Goch to Capel Curig. Makes an excellent hard day's walking, or a nice 2 day wild camp. (21.5km, 1600m ascent) Strenuous	Carneddau from Aber to Trefriw. This is almost a mini LDP as the terrain you pass through changes so much from the forest at Aber, the high Carneddau and Llyn Cowlyd. (27km, 1500m ascent) Strenuous	Nantlle Ridge Circuit from Rhyd Ddu. An excellent way to get the best out of the Nantlle Ridge without having to worry about all those transport hassles associated with a linear traverse of this excellent walk. (16km, 1200m ascent) Hard
Dolwyddelan Circuit - Moel Meirch and Ysgafell Wen. Another similar walk over what can be quiet hills. (30km, 1050m ascent).Strenuous	Moel Eilio in Snow (11km, 710m). This easy ridge walk takes on a new perspective when tackled in the snow. Moderate	Carneddau from Ogwen to Aber (19km, 1050m ascent) Complete traverse of these mountains from the scramble up Pen yr Ole Wen to Aber.Hard	Carneddau from Rachub A Quiet ascent of the North Carneddau avoiding the usual busy sections and long walk in. Cuts the ascent down, and you're immediately on the hill. (21km 950m ascent) Hard

Some Easier Family Lowland Walks in Snowdonia.

Aber Circuit. 7.5 km A straightforward ramble around Aber Falls and returning to Aber via a path, high above the valleyside. Easy gradient, steep descent at walk's end requires care.Easy Moderate	Llyn Parc. 6km This trip in the forest passes a couple of lakes, and mine ruins. Easy walk, but the navigation in the plantation can be a headache. Easy	Around Llyn Dinas. 5 km Picturesque walk around this gem of a lake. Path is not suitable for pushchairs, but is nevertheless easy terrain. Easy	Llyn Padarn from Llanberis. 8km Another straightforward walk with stunning views and beautiful woodland. Easy
Anglesey Coast Path Malltraeth to Pen-Lon 14km A walk that's a bit longer than others in here, but can be cut short if needed. Easy/moderate	Around Llyn Crafnant. 5.5 km Slightly longer walk around Llyn Crafnant, Trefriw. The paths are excellent and wide, except for one awkward and steep part.Easy	Mynydd Sygyn Revisited (8.5km, 410m ascent) Easy Moderate or Mynydd Sygyn From Beddgelert (6km, 390m ascent) Easy Moderate	Llynnoedd Crafnant and Geirionydd (15km, 600m ascent) A longer circuit from Capel Curig that makes an ideal longer low level day. Moderate
