adventure – Walks With Olly

Planning for Snowdonia – March ’23

In a few weeks’ time, I’ll be heading north to Snowdonia for a few days, just as I did in this same month last year. In this post, I’m going to share some of the walks I’m looking to embark upon. Each of which will be new to me.

Fairfield Horseshoe (Part 1)

Friday 16th September 2022

It was time to begin my final walk of this wonderful week up in the Lake District. I drove north to Ambleside and settled upon the Rydal Road car park – and its familiar charge of £8 for a full day’s stay.

Crossing St. Sunday Crag

Thursday 15th September 2022

Striding Edge had been crossed and Helvellyn was now in the bag. After lunch, I would continue my circular journey heading back towards Glenridding.

Helvellyn via. Striding Edge

In another two-part write up, I’ll share my experience of the one walk I was most looking forward to in this week away – climbing Helvellyn via. the scramble of Striding Edge.

My morning began in the town of Glenridding, to the east of the mountains.
