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
walk walk walk walk
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

Llyn Padarn from Llanberis. 8km Another straightforward walk with stunning views and beautiful woodland. Easy
