It consists of three mountains that all overlap to form a ridge. The three mountains are called; Y Garn, Mynydd Drws-y-coed and Trum-y-Ddysgl. The first mountain is Y Garn. It was the physically hardest to climb because we had to get up to the highest average height to stay there because with a ridge you don&#8217;t go all the way down when you switch mountains you don&#8217;t go to the foot of it so after the initial accent then the next three hours are not very physical because you don&#8217;t go up or down very much. It was all very exciting and even those who were not massively enthusiastic to go up in the first place were very happy to be walking after getting into the rhythm of things. The first mountain was the hardest as I said and when we got to the top, we got a little taste of the first scramble as we went to the EAGLES NEST. At the EAGLES NEST we ate our lunch and then we headed on towards the traverse. The traverse was the most exciting part of the walk, with challenging lips, climbs and amazing bravery from the group. We all stood on this rock and took photos of us staring out to the distance.\u00a0 As we took in the amazing views, we saw our progress and felt quite proud of ourselves.<\/p>\n<p>The view was a glittering sea, almost like a giant mirror, to our right and the raw power of mother nature to our left. As Snowdon put on its cloak of clouds like Harry Potter and his cloak, we pushed on to the descent. from the top the steep descent looked like a drop of undefeatable descent. as we got ready from a break and I was ignored by a dog. Dom, Reece and Hayden had a great time rolling through the grass. then Dom found his own Minecraft house. Then we walked through the magical forest and made bear noises and Dom did a scream when we jumped out at him. Then we walked along a road and everyone\u2019s feet hurt and then we drunk from a mountain waterfall and then we trudged back to the coach. Then we got back to the KMC and had dinner and then sat here writing these very words.<\/p>\n<p>By Tom and Rowan<\/p>\n\r\n\t\t<style type='text\/css'>\r\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\r\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\r\n\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\r\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\r\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\r\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\r\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\r\n\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\r\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\r\n\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\r\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\r\n\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t<\/style>\r\n\t\t<!-- see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php -->\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-5299 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail gallery1'><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n\/\/ <![CDATA[\r\n\tjQuery(document).ready(function () {\r\n\t\tjQuery(\".gallery1 a\").attr(\"rel\",\"gallery1\");\t\r\n\t\tjQuery('a[rel=\"gallery1\"]').colorbox({maxWidth:\"95%\", maxHeight:\"95%\",title: function(){ return jQuery(this).children().attr(\"alt\"); }, });\r\n\t});\r\n\/\/ ]]>\r\n<\/script>\n<dl class=\"gallery-item\">\n<dt class=\"gallery-icon\">\r\n<a href=\"http:\/\/indoorsout.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/PHOTO-2019-10-28-18-05-01.jpg\" title=\"\" rel=\"gallery1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/indoorsout.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/PHOTO-2019-10-28-18-05-01-150x150.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\r\n<\/dt><\/dl><dl class=\"gallery-item\">\n<dt class=\"gallery-icon\">\r\n<a href=\"http:\/\/indoorsout.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/PHOTO-2019-10-28-18-05-02.jpg\" title=\"\" rel=\"gallery1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/indoorsout.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/PHOTO-2019-10-28-18-05-02-150x150.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\r\n<\/dt><\/dl><dl class=\"gallery-item\">\n<dt class=\"gallery-icon\">\r\n<a href=\"http:\/\/indoorsout.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/PHOTO-2019-10-28-18-05-03.jpg\" title=\"\" rel=\"gallery1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/indoorsout.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/PHOTO-2019-10-28-18-05-03-150x150.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\r\n<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/><dl class=\"gallery-item\">\n<dt class=\"gallery-icon\">\r\n<a href=\"http:\/\/indoorsout.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/PHOTO-2019-10-28-18-05-36.jpg\" title=\"\" rel=\"gallery1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/indoorsout.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/PHOTO-2019-10-28-18-05-36-150x150.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\r\n<\/dt><\/dl><dl class=\"gallery-item\">\n<dt class=\"gallery-icon\">\r\n<a href=\"http:\/\/indoorsout.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/PHOTO-2019-10-28-18-05-38.jpg\" title=\"\" rel=\"gallery1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/indoorsout.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/PHOTO-2019-10-28-18-05-38-150x150.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\r\n<\/dt><\/dl><dl class=\"gallery-item\">\n<dt class=\"gallery-icon\">\r\n<a href=\"http:\/\/indoorsout.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/PHOTO-2019-10-28-18-05-39.jpg\" title=\"\" rel=\"gallery1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/indoorsout.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/PHOTO-2019-10-28-18-05-39-150x150.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\r\n<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The route we walked today was called the Nantlle Ridge.
