Snowdonia Easy Grade Walking

• The Easy walking grade

Your profile
You don't do much regular walking or exercise. You are either a beginner and want to get started or you may be used to do some walking in the past and want to make a comeback. Our Easy walks are suitable for you.

They are comparatively short and are all taken at a comfortable pace (always able to chat) with as many rests as required by the party. They range from:

a) Easy gentle strolls for a distance of no more than about 6miles. These routes will be on easy woodland, country or coastal paths over gentle terrain that has no really rough or rugged sections and will not involve any really steep uphill walking. Time spent walking will be about 3hours. These walks are ideal for the people in the group to warm up and get to know one another.

To:

b) Easy Walks subject to the groups wishes these walks can be up to about 10 miles in distance with some gentle hills to climb. Time spent walking will be about 4 hours.

As the walking time on these easy walks only take up half the day there will be plenty of time to look at or visit points of interest along the way - or after the walk is completed. It will be the groups decision whether they carry a packed lunch or stop off at a nice café or local pub for lunch. You will of course have the company of a guide who is well informed about most aspects of the landscape and culture of the area where you are walking. The guide will suggest places of interest to stop off at or to visit.

Walking holidays in the Easy grade will mainly explore the woodland paths and lower hills within walking distance of the hotel. However an ascent of Snowdon can be made by easy grade walkers. The route we use is at the limit of what we would expect on an easy walk but at a comfortable pace in our experience easy walkers can do this in 5 hours and most people beilieve it is worth the extra effort to do the highest peak in Wales and England.

Snowdon climb - Easy grade

Everyone who wants to climb Snowdon (the highest mountain in England and Wales) will get the opportunity to do so by an appropriate route.

Easy grade walkers will take the easiest route to the summit of Snowdon, starting from Pen y Pass Y.H.A. via the PYG path to the summit and then down to the hotel in Llanberis. Total distance approx 11km (7 miles) with approx 900m (3,000 ft) of total height gain. At an easy pace the walk will take approx. 5hrs.
