Snowdon hike


Sorry if some of the photos are repetitious, just say subhanAllah. When I was looking at the rainbow I thought : then what beauty is there in Jannah ? The more you look at the rainbow the more beautiful it is.

The rest of the photos are from the hike to the top of Snowdon and back down again ( no way! ). I took these photos on the descent, just as the view opened up before us under the clouds. Some photos show the trail we followed down.

It was very windy, especially near the top, and you could literally see frail standing walls of water vapour blowing around in the mist ( or cloud ). I was also extremely cold and soaked throughout my legs, and water was squelching in my boots. Altogether it was five and a half hours walking, including the half-hour rest at the cafe at the top.

The last two photos are of Snowdon itself, taken from the coach on the way back to campus.















P.S Snowdon is the highest mountain in Wales at 1085m above sea level.

  1. Breath-taking views MashAllah and yes, I'm a teeny weeny bit jealous. I do recommend that you make it clear to the reader exactly what Snowdon is and why you wrote about it.
    Someone who's knowledge never encompassed it previously would not now be able to describe it with any degree of certainty as a mountain or a hill or a knoll or even a mole.
