Many years ago when on the Horseshoe we met a couple of lads descending close to the summit of Garnedd Ugain. They asked if they were on the Pyg Track, as they were intending to descend this, having walked to Snowdon summit from Llanberis. Their only ‘map’ was a plasticised card (about A6 size) showing a black outline of Snowdon and a thick red line for the path. Somehow they had missed the standing stone at Bwlch Glas and the hundreds of scouts in bright orange waterproofs having their photo taken in the mist. I wouldn’t venture high in the hills without a map and compass and some knowledge of how to use them. Those guys were poorly equipped and dressed for the hill and lucky they had us to redirect them.
