I haven’t been approached recently, but years ago I came across a pair near the summit of Garnedd Ugain while walking the Snowdon Horseshoe. The proceeded to ask if they were on the Pyg Track. It turned out that they had walked up from Llanberis and were ‘navigating’ using a white plastic card which contained an outline of Snowdon and a red line showing the path. They were equipped in trainers, jeans and t shirts - no rucksack, map, compass or waterproofs. They started in sunshine and ended up in a cloud, somehow missing the obelisk at Bwlch Glas and the 100+ scouts in orange waterproofs having their photos taken there. We turned them around and pointed them in the right direction with some advice for future excursions. We didn’t think they would enjoy the descent of Crib Goch.
Earlier in the day at the start of the Crib Goch ascent, we were asked for help by a man who was following a parish boundary on the map and hoping to follow the Pyg Track. He was with his 8 year old son and suffered from vertigo. He didn’t want to retrace his steps and asked if we could help him up the scramble and across the ridge. We politely declined and someone descending the ridge took him back to the car park. This was before the warning signs at Bwlch Y Moch.
