Beddgelert Forest + Crib Goch 27th 28th October 2018
I've always wanted to do the Snowdon 'horse shoe' from PEN Y PASS and up Crib Goch. I'm afraid that my camera work was a little shaky, mostly due to the wind and not having too great equipment! I hope I've captured both the beauty and the beast that is Snowdonia. I also hope that you understand my decision to camp at a campsite as opposed to doing a wild camp.
On this trip I visited a few pubs in the gorgeous village of Beddgelert. (Did you know that for every £3.00 a pub takes, £1.00 goes on tax? No wonder so many pubs are closing!)
I don't mind admitting that I found the climbing a little tiring, but I enjoyed every minute of it. I just think I'm a bit out of practice.
Forest of Beddgelert
Gelert (Welsh pronunciation: [ˈɡɛlɛrt]) is a legendary dog associated with the village of Beddgelert(whose name means Gelert's Grave) in Gwynedd, north-west Wales. The story of Gelert is a variation on the well-worn Faithful Hound folk-tale motif, which lives on as an urban legend.
Here, the dog is alleged to have belonged to Llywelyn the Great, Prince of Gwynedd, a gift from King John of England. In this legend, Llywelyn returns from hunting to find his baby missing, the cradle overturned, and Gelert with a blood-smeared mouth. Believing the dog had savaged the child, Llywelyn draws his sword and kills Gelert. After the dog's dying yelp Llywelyn hears the cries of the baby, unharmed under the cradle, along with a dead wolf which had attacked the child and been killed by Gelert. Llywelyn is overcome with remorse and buries the dog with great ceremony, but can still hear its dying yelp. After that day Llywelyn never smiles again.
of Gelert returning to haunt early 21st century Beddgelert
It is now accepted that the village of Beddgelert took its name from an early saint named Kilart or Celert,rather than from the dog. The grave mound is ascribed to David Prichard, landlord of the Goat Hotel in Beddgelert in the late eighteenth century, who connected the legend to the village to encourage tourism.
On the supposed grave of Gelert there are two slate memorials, one in Welsh and the other in English. The latter reads:
GELERT'S GRAVE
IN THE 13TH CENTURY, LLYWELYN, PRINCE OF NORTH WALES, HAD A PALACE AT BEDDGELERT. ONE DAY HE WENT HUNTING WITHOUT GELERT THE FAITHFUL HOUND WHO WAS UNACCOUNTABLY ABSENT. ON LLYWELYN'S RETURN, THE TRUANT STAINED AND SMEARED WITH BLOOD, JOYFULLY SPRANG TO MEET HIS MASTER. THE PRINCE ALARMED HASTENED TO FIND HIS SON, AND SAW THE INFANT'S COT EMPTY, THE BEDCLOTHES AND FLOOR COVERED WITH BLOOD. THE FRANTIC FATHER PLUNGED THE SWORD INTO THE HOUND'S SIDE THINKING IT HAD KILLED HIS HEIR. THE DOG'S DYING YELL WAS ANSWERED BY A CHILD'S CRY. LLYWELYN SEARCHED AND DISCOVERED HIS BOY UNHARMED BUT NEAR BY LAY THE BODY OF A MIGHTY WOLF WHICH GELERT HAD SLAIN, THE PRINCE FILLED WITH REMORSE IS SAID NEVER TO HAVE SMILED AGAIN. HE BURIED GELERT HERE. THE SPOT IS CALLED BEDDGELERT.

Many People Fall To Their Death Here
We got caught in a storm on the 1000 cliff drop ridge where many people die on Mount Snowdon. We took the Rhyd Ddu Path. This path used to be known as the Beddgelert Path since it was from this village that walkers started their journey to the summit.
So....this was my first walk to Snowdon in my life!! It was definitely the top of my scariest hikes I have ever done. Despite getting caught in a huge storm, it was so rewarding to make it to the top!
Distance: 7.5 miles (there and back) - but we got lost so it ended up taking us almost double that distance...haha.
Total Climb: 895m (2,936 ft)
Time: Approx 6 hours (there and back) - once again, we got lost so much longer for us.
Start and Finish: Rhyd Ddu Car Park (SH 571526 / LL54 6TN)
Parking: Rhyd Ddu Car Park (SH 571526 / LL54 6TN)
Sherpa Bus Stop: End of Rhyd Ddu Car Park
Good luck and hope you enjoyed watching our journey!!
