Camping Trip - pt.7 After 2 hours of walking from the campsite we finally reached the start of the Watkin Path up Snowdon. The path started out as more woodland, with lots of small streams. As the woodland cleared, we found ourselves at the base of small mountains; it was very open and started to get more windy. (at Snowdon)

Camping Trip - pt.6 As we continued through the wood it decided to rain again. We still weren't sure if the weather would let us make it to the Watkin Path, but we carried on, as we had to at least get to the road to return to camp. The path led us over lots of rocks at the side of the lake which were quite slippy from the rain. Luckily it had stopped raining as we climbed across them. The path was pretty much straight forward from then on, with a few fields and a small bridge to cross until we reached the road. It still wasn't raining so we decided to follow the road to the Watkin Path. #summer#camping#trip#holiday#llyngwynant#nature#walk#lake#Snowdonia#fields#mountain#farm#rocks (at Llyn Gwynant)

Camping Trip - pt.4 We continued along the path which led past a field and through some woodland. To the left was the lake (Llyn Gwynant), which we wanted to see more of. We weren't sure how long we would be out, or how much further we could go as the sky was getting more cloudy and it started to rain slightly. #summer#camping#trip#holiday#llyngwynant#nature#woodland#walk#lake (at Llyn Gwynant Campsite)

Camping Trip - pt.3 We woke up and checked the time on my watch. It was past 12, so we quickly had showers and got ready to go for a walk. Whilst cooking breakfast we checked the time again.. Turns out it was only 7:30 am and we had read the time on my watch upside-down. Feeling very relieved we set off for our walk. There was a small stream/river that ran through the campsite where we met a family of around 11 ducks. They weren't bothered by us, although they would quack and waddle off if we got too close. After a good 10 minutes watching ducks we waddled off ourselves until we found a small cave. This was the first time I'd worn my new hiking boots, but I decided I'd try climb the side of the cave anyway. I pretty much fell right away and we moved on. #summer#camping#trip#holiday#llyngwynant#nature (at Llyn Gwynant)

Camping trip - pt.2 We managed to set up camp just before it decided to rain and had a pretty good thing going (I took this photo inside my tent, the one shown was just for storage). We had arrived quite late so it didn't take long for it start getting dark, or for the migies to turn up (I got bit a lot). That was pretty much it for the first day; although the sleep was great. (at Llyn Gwynant Campsite)

Camping Trip - pt.1 One of the first views we saw at the Llyn Gwynant campsite. The area was breathtaking; the photo doesn't do it justice. (at Llyn Gwynant Campsite)
