Looks like it was a good walk. Those hills are so green. You are very lucky to live where there is so much history.

Richard_Irwin from Belper, United Kingdom
I know that feeling well, having recently climbed Snowden, but hey, what a fantastic place, the joy of being pleasantly knackered by a hard days walk can't be beaten. Beautiful location you chose for the shot by the way.

@Richard_Irwin: You are very right, there's no feeling like it. Cheers Richard

What route up Snowdon did you take Alun? I have been up a few times by different routes but can't remember ever seeing that tower.

@grouser: We walked up the miners track and back down the pyg track. This was taken in Llanberis when we got back down, just before going to Pete's Eats for tea.
Peter Miller from Lichfield, United Kingdom
They all look knackered but a great place to be knackered in
