Beautiful trail. Very quiet in October when we go. Very remote in parts so a bit of careful planning required re accommodation and bus times etc. Can be reached by Train for the most part with Stations along the way. Similar to South West Coast Path but with a few less Tough climbs.
Snowdon via Watkin Path and Rhyd Ddu Path

Fantastic route. Slight shame the summit was in cloud and so busy... The South Ridge is stunning!
Jacob @ Mountain Craft · reviewed 6 months ago
One of the finest ridge walks in Wales, often quieter than most other mountain ranges in Eryri (Snowdonia). This route covers the full traverse including the scramble on Mynydd Drws-y-Coed. Navigation off Mynydd Graig Goch can be tricky in fog, trust the GPX here to find the descent towards Llyn Cwm Dulyn and Nebo. A stunning day out.
Welsh 3000s (Precision Traverse)
Jacob @ Mountain Craft · reviewed 6 months ago
The definitive Welsh 3000s traverse. This verified route follows the classic line starting at Pen y Pass, tackling the famous Crib Goch ridge first, crossing the rocky Glyderau, and finishing on the remote slopes of the Carneddau above Aber Falls. It’s a massive 50km endurance challenge covering 14 summits. While we often use a Bethesda finish on our guided events for logistics, this GPX represents the 'Gold Standard' traditional route. A true test of mountain fitness.
