The summits of Snowdonia: A guide to the 600-metre mountains of Snowdonia

Directed to the estimated one million walkers who take to the Welsh hills and mountains each week, this book provides a guide to all the 600-metre summits in the Snowdonia National Park and the Berwyn Hills which straddle the park boundary. It enables those who seek to "bag" these peeks to chart their progress, to compare their achievements against the comprehensive checklist and to record for posterity where they have been. As a guide, the book offers useful advice in the route planning, explaining the choice of conventional routes (and some unconventional ones), always bearing in mind some of the potential hazards of hill-walking. Background information on the history, folklore and general interest of the summits makes this an invaluable guide for any walker in Snowdonia without ever diminishing the sense of exploration and adventure in this rewarding pursuit.
