I've been thinking about going on a little expedition up mount snowden this summer. I've been getting my camping gear ready and I've had to step everything up to be able to cope with the extreme weather and conditions that will be present. I got a new sleeping bag recently and it's soo cosy and warm. It's rated to go down to -8 deg C comfortably and an absolute maximum of -29 deg C. Also a lot of other stuff like thicker clothes, upgrading my first aid kit and buying smaller lighter cooking equipment and a new lighter rucksack. I'm gonna buy a mountaineering tent soon which is so strong it can cope with the strongest winds you can imagine. |

Can you camp on snowdon? I cant think of any suitable place to pitch a tent on the actual mountain.

I think you can camp lower down. I've got water resistant bags to keep stuff dry so phone won't be getting wet. my navigation equipment. Is a compass and ordinance survey map so not relying on google maps.
