Before attempting Snowdon we decided to go for a trial walk.
We stopped at a small empty carpark a few miles from where we had been camping. The walk through a the woods also hid several tunnels, now home to bats, that have an interesting past.
The tunnels were formed by the extraction of the stone which was used in building both in Bath the surrounding area and London. During the war these workings were used as a large underground ammunition store.
We found several entrances during our walk but these were all barred and locked.
The walk was pleasant and an easy stroll and it seemed we were all alone. However on return to the carpark we found that it was full with people waiting to park.
I’m not sure if this 2.5Km walk will prepare us for Snowdon but at least it’s a start.
