Default View from the top

A friend of mine invited me for a walk on Saturday and we ended up hiking up the Watkins path right to the top of Snowdon. I never done anything so painful in my life and half way up I am sure I had a near death experience lol. Well... in hindsight it was worth it... just look at that view. Enjoy xxx

What a gorgeous view from up the top of Snowdon. Once upon a time I would have been able to climb up there but sadly no more. Thanks for showing me the spectacular view. yes, even though you had a near death experience. It was worth the view. Hope you are ok.

Jake.

I cycled it many times as a kid and always without fail the view took my breath away and made me forget the fire in my legs lol

That is a great photo!! Makes me miss the mountains, there is nothing here in Iowa but corn. I am sure the hike did you some good and we all benefitted from the photograph! Thanks for sharing!!

Wow! That's a rare sight ... most times we've been there the only view to be had has been shadows of other hikers in the mist. Never managed to take a photo up there!! Great shot.
