Latest Routes.

	new May 9th Ben Nevis via the Carn Mor Dearg Arete. One of the absolute classic ridge walks! (18km, 1550m ascent, 8 hours) Strenuous - In Progress
	new May 5th 2008 Garn, Glyderau and Tryfan from Ogwen. Get up early to get these wondrful hills to yourself. (12km, 1200m ascent, 7 hours) hard
	new Apr 26th 2008 Moel Siabod and Carnedd y Cribau from Pen y Gwryd. Some remote and quiet terrain, with unexpectedly good views to Snowdon (if you're lucky!. (21km, 900m ascent 7 hours). hard
	Apr 16th 2008 Mynydd Mawr from Rhosgadfan. Straightforward half day's walk with great views for relatively little effort.. (10km, 550m ascent) Moderate
	Carn Dearg. Easy pull up from Corrour. Ideally coupled with the neighbouring Munro Sgorr Gaibhre.(10km, 600m ascent, 4 to 5 hours) Moderate
	Chno Dearg. Hard, knackering and challenging if done from Corrour. If this seems too much, do the easy route from Tulloch. Ideally including Stob Coire Sgriodain in your trip. (28km, 1060m, 10 hours) Strenuous
	Rannoch to Corrour via Road to the Isles. An old drovers track that contours the hillside above Rannoch Moor. Ideal mid/low level route that's reasonably easy going. (20km, 400m ascent, 5-6 hours) Moderate/hard - In Progress
	Helvellyn from Glenridding. Circuit from near the Helvellyn Youth Hostel, up to Helvellyn and across Dollywaggon pike to Grisedale Tarn and Grisedale. (17.5km, 1050m ascent and 6 to 7 hours) hard
	Raise and Stybarrow Dodd from Glenridding. Makes an ideal longer start to Helvellyn. Gusts of 130kmh slowed us down a bit. (10km, 680m ascent and 5 hours). Moderate
	Beinn Nan Lap and Loch Ossian. Easy munro that's not too taxing after the sleeper train and a circuit of the loch. (maximum of 24km and 750m, 7 hours) Moderate to hard
	Leum Uilliem. Merely a Corbett but all mountain. Well, the mountain isn't that treacherous but the bogs that surround it and block your way certainly are. (16km, 800m and 6 hours) hard
	Corrour to Staoineag Bothy. This was my low level route. Easy estate road for most of it, but the final path was wet. (22km, 400m and 6 hours) Moderate to hard
	updated Feb 21st 2008 Elidir Fawr, Foel Goch, Garn, Glyder Fawr and Y Gribin scramble. Hard day across these superb summits followed by a tricky, but doable down scramble. (13.5km, 1150m ascent) Hard
	updated Feb 21st 2008 Routes up Snowdon. A Free contour map of Snowdon showing all the ascents. Not suitable for navigation, but print it off and use it to plan your walk.
	updated Jan 27th 2008 Moel Eilio and Snowdon via Ranger Really long way up Snowdon. Makes a satisfyingly challenging longer day. (21km, 1400m ascent) Strenuous

Explanation of how to import the GPS data into you'r machine is given here.

This page has a map of the entire Eryri area and may replace this index in the near future.

NOTE!! The Digital mapping files are just as guidance, a means of showing the route on the map and are NOT GPS Logs unless STATED AS SUCH. You should always rely on your own planning whatever the source of the walk data, as errors are a statistical definite (remember the Ben Nevis and Trail fiasco? For those who don't, they published a shortcut off the summit of Ben Nevis, directly over a nearby gully.) And don't get me started on the accuracy of their Snowdonia Place names!! GRR! Although, I must admit, that recently their spellings have been OK, and i have spotted more errors in TGO.

Digital Mapping

Tracklogs IMHO the best mapping for PC.

MemoryMap Still good, but route handling clumsier.

Viewranger mapping for smartphones.

Fugawi and Anquet are also popular.

Quo The new kid on the block.

Multimap - Free online mapping.
