Picture Post-card number 7
On the reverse side of this card we read: "This magnificent view clearly shows the path along the thin ridge from Snowdon to Lliwedd.The walk has been described as the 'Finest Ridge walk in Europe'. Llyn Llydaw is seen on the left, to add one of Snowdonia's most breathtaking views."
There are very similar walks in Hong Kong and Kowloon; I am reminded of Tai Mo Shan in particular.
I took this descent after my first ascent of Snowdon. Towards the end, where it goes off to the left of the picture, I was caught in a nasty bog, having to leap from tuffet to tuffet, and not entirely certain where or in what one was going to land. If a little wetter it would be impossible, and one would be obliged to climb all the way back up again, and down the safer way.
