Thank you.. We took it at my wife’s pace which was as really good to be fair, was 3 1/2 hrs up and took around 4 hrs down… She struggled with her knees on the descent… 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We set off walking about 7am and reached the summit about 10.30am, we waited 5 mins in the queue and then sat and had a drink and some bait for 20 mins or so and the place started getting surprisingly busy and queuing for about 25 mins… We arranged it for after the summer holidays thinking all the kids would be back to school and people back to work but got a shock to how many people were there… Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bush Rummager 4,649 Posted September 7, 2021 Report Share Posted September 7, 2021 Well done to you both and cracking pic's there! I did it in June with my 15 yr old daughter. Rhyd ddu path though. Up at 4:30 am. Walking for 5:30 and on the summit for 8:30. It was a right slog for her but she got there slowly but surely. Wouldn't even let me carry her rucksack ha.. Like your summit tipple mate.. wish I'd have thought of that!! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well done to you both, if we ever do it again it’s gonna be the Rhys Ddu path for sure… You must’ve been well proud of your daughter and had a cracking sense of achievement for yourself too An ice cold pint would’ve been preferred but a JD and coke done the job, you’ll know for next time you do it anyways 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
