Snowdonia to be exact in North Wales, UK.

Any foodie advice?? I'll take plenty of water, but any tips what I should eat on my way up?

    Try dried fruit, cerial bars that kind of thing. Easy to carry & eat. Enjoy!

    Yay! I used to hike a lot of high peaks in colorado. Bring tons of food, string cheese for protein, trail mix with nuts and dried fruit, water in a Camelback. We used to bring lots of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, they pack really well if you wrap them in foil. Have fun, take photos for us!


    PS, don't eat much on the climb, save it after halfway up and at the top. It can kind of slow you down if you consume a lot of food early.

    Thanks for the replies. Well, I made it to the summit :) took around 4.5/5 hours and was a hard slog! Burned over 1000 calories.

    I have pictures but I've no idea how to put them on here :(
