On Friday 7th October 2022, the adventurers of Firemind headed off on a weekend trip to the Snowdonia National Park, in search of the summit of Snowdon. Standing at 1,085 metres (3,560 feet) above sea level, Snowdon is the highest mountain in Wales as well as being the highest point in the British Isles, outside of the Scottish Highlands.

Rather than taking the train route up, our intrepid explorers began their ascent, taking the Snowdon Ranger path. This route is quieter than many alternative paths to the summit, but offers a challenging set of weaving zig-zags that steadily climb in angle and difficulty.

The challenge defeated a few of our brave team, due to injury and unwanted factors, but the remainder battled through aches, pains and loose gravel to reach the summit! This was our first organised weekend away as a company, and it certainly won’t be our last.

Between the hike, evenings by the fire pit, meals in the local pub and camping games, the entire team had a fantastic trip away, one that won’t be soon forgotten.

Be sure to watch our highlight video below as well as scroll a little further to see some of our favourite pictures from the trip.
