Friend of the coop,\u00a0Ben Smith, has been on another mountain biking adventure! Here he\u2019ll go through part one of his trip:<\/p>\n

Having visited the Lake District last year (you can read\u00a0 part one <\/a> \u00a0and\u00a0 part two <\/a> \u00a0if you\u2019re interested) I fancied taking things up a notch so booked myself a trip to Snowdonia to see what the Welsh mountains had to offer.<\/p>\n

I decided to invest in some new kit to prepare for whatever lay ahead so first of all my old XC helmet was ditched in favour of a\u00a0 modern lid <\/a> \u00a0which covered far more head area with significantly thicker material. \u00a0A new 22 litre capacity\u00a0hydration pack\u00a0provided sufficient space to stow extra clothing and food for the unpredictable conditions and long outings I was expecting. \u00a0An extra Gore-Tex jacket and some waterproof shorts were included for obvious reasons \u2013 and finally an upgrade to twin piston disc brakes with larger discs for increased stopping power and heat dissipation to help cope with what I\u2019m hoping are going to be some challenging descents.<\/p>\n

Of course there are many fantastic mountain biking opportunities in Snowdonia but in this blog I\u2019ll be recounting my first visit to Mount Snowdon itself and then covering an alternate route in part two.<\/p>\n

\"ranger-1.jpg\"<\/p>\n

If you fancy visiting Snowdon on a bike it is essential to note that for the sake of walker safety and ranger \/ biker relations, bikes are prohibited on the mountain between the hours of 10am and 5pm between the months of May and October. \u00a0It also makes sense to avoid weekends if possible and also to keep group sizes to a minimum in order not to intimidate the many walkers who visit this famous peak.\u00a0 I certainly wouldn\u2019t attempt this in wet weather either as I\u2019m sure the rocky ground would become dangerously slippery.<\/p>\n

\"ranger-2.jpg\" So, it\u2019s late on Monday afternoon, and I decide to begin by investigating the Ranger Path which starts from the Westerly side of the mountain and is renowned for being one of the quieter routes up.\u00a0 The area at the start of the path is indeed very unassuming save for a small youth hostel with a car park and as I start my climb I pass just a handful of people walking the other way.<\/p>\n

The trail starts smoothly enough and despite being a bit of a test remains a nice gravelly surface which zig-zags slowly towards the summit. \u00a0Although the muscles are already burning, there are a few relaxing stretches where one can admire the stunning scenery in relative comfort.<\/p>\n

\"ranger-3.jpg\" As the middle section of the climb approaches it\u2019s clear things are about to change \u2013 you would have to travel hundreds of miles to find a higher peak to climb and unsurprisingly that means there is going to be no easy way to the top.<\/p>\n

Time to get off and carry the bike! \u00a0The gradient is steep, the smooth track is a distant memory and the rocky steps up the boulder strewn trail are large and irregular. \u00a0What\u2019s more, the 5pm start adds another dimension to the climb. \u00a0In normal circumstances I would have taken a well earned rest at this point but the fact I need to get up and down the mountain before dark means I must keep moving if I\u2019m to enjoy any time at the top.<\/p>\n

\"ranger-4.jpg\" The path continues to zig-zag but where the chicanes at the base of the climb were a pleasant novelty it becomes quite disheartening having to walk in the opposite direction to the summit!<\/p>\n

As I move into the third quarter of the climb I\u2019m able to switch from carrying the bike to pushing and encouragingly it looks like this section of the path is going to be rideable on the way down despite it being quite loose underfoot. \u00a0The structures located on the summit are visible but it\u2019s clear I still have a lot of work to do to get there.<\/p>\n

Approaching the top, the path merges with the other routes, I reach a signpost pointing to the summit and it\u2019s time to cross the railway track.\u00a0 It\u2019s nice to be able to get back in the saddle again for a while and the adrenalin does a good job spurring me on to the finish.<\/p>\n

\"ranger-5.jpg\" Psychologically however, the final stretch turns out to be particularly brutal. \u00a0The sign to the summit gave the impression I was a lot closer to the top than I thought and this fact paired with the increasingly punishing gradient catches me off guard \u2013 but of course there is no question of turning back now and with one final push I finally make it to the top!<\/p>\n

On reaching the very top I\u2019m subjected to the kind of changeable conditions I had been expecting. Having had a reasonably calm ascent, as soon as I reach the top I am immediately battered by incredibly strong wind.\u00a0 My larger back pack demonstrates its value now and it\u2019s time to dig out my extra layers of clothing and some food.<\/p>\n

\"ranger-6.jpg\" I\u2019m acutely aware that I\u2019ve no idea how long it\u2019s going to take to get back down so I decide not to hang around too long despite the incredible view and get going with the descent, the first third of which is mostly about picking my way down carefully.<\/p>\n

The middle third \u2013 well, it\u2019s time to get off and push again although the relative ease with which I traverse this section makes me wonder how it felt so hard getting up it. \u00a0That\u2019s gravity for you I guess!<\/p>\n

The final third and it\u2019s back on the gravel track. \u00a0The combination of the evening time and the Westerly facing trail make for a great sunset cycle and you should be able to see by the look on my face in the final picture what kind of time I\u2019ve had cycling down!<\/p>\n

This was such a great ride I feel I could h \"ranger-8.jpg\" appily repeat it daily but decide to return in a couple of days to give my legs a chance to recover before I try it again and in the second part of my blog I\u2019ll be taking a look at the Llanberis Path which turned out to be very different.<\/p>\n
