Thanks for the comments folks
It's always very special sharing a walk with offspring
She's back to doing hiking for her DofE silver for the next six months so we've got an excuse to be out doing something every weekend, although it won't always be big walks.
Never lonely on the top of Snowdon are you!
Only other time I've been up there was in 1992! I was impressed with how well the new café fitted into the surroundings though, on the way up it's actually quite hard to pick out.
The Rhyd Ddu and Ranger paths are said to be quieter than the other routes up and we did find that to be the case. It's quite a shock when you get to the top and see just how many people are up there.
