INTRODUCTION

This guide brings together the best ridge walks in Snowdonia. In describing them I have tried to be both readable and accurate, which explains the unusual ordering of the text. A summary of route information is given first, followed by a route description. The main routes are accompanied by a route profile and a map. The numbered points on the route profile are referred to in the route description by a small number (e.g. 1). General chit-chat follows, and this means you have the option to glance through one or the other section according to need, and without having to plough through an unnecessary amount of verbiage.

Because the book is designed primarily for the hill-walking enthusiast, I have comandeered space traditionally reserved for introductory notes and lengthy topographical descriptions (using photographs to help compensate in this latter respect) in order to explore the hill-walking experience beyond what is normally allowed or admitted in a guide book. The resulting descriptions are progressive, to a certain extent, so that they can be read one after the other like chapters in a book.
