During the recent "indian summer" here in the UK I went back to Snowdon to walk to the summit from Llanberis. This route is the longest to the summit but less demanding. It follows the route of the rack and pinion railway which runs right to the summit. Although the weather was fine the wind speed and gusts were a problem especially alon the exposed ridges. After 11.00am the wind moderated slightly and the temperatures rose to 26 degrees C in the valley. Hundreds of people were making their way up as I was going down. I started up  just 20 minutes after sunrise!
