£4.95 each + FREE where-wolf card

Snowdon at its most spectacular. This popular guide-map describes the classic ridge scramble - the Snowdon Horseshoe - one of the finest ridge "walks" in the country. This demanding and exciting route requires a head for heights and good weather.

The guide-map also covers the well known PYG Track and the Miner's Track starting from Pen y Pass. The detailed 1:25,000 map also covers the Watkin Path to Nant Gwynant in the south. See Guides No.11 and 11L for the Llanberis Path.

Each Beacon mountain guide-map contains the following:-

A specially prepared 1:25,000 scale A4 sized map of the route or routes based on the award winning HARVEY Superwalker Maps (as used by many mountain rescue teams). This map covers the routes on the mountain and all the relevant access points.

Clearly numbered National Grid lines on the map for GPS users.

Key information about the routes and how to find the starting point. Any special mountain safety issues are clearly stated.

A numbered list of National Grid (GPS) waypoints on the route or routes. These are specified to the nearest 10 metres and can be a real help in locating descent points, junctions in paths etc. Even if GPS is not being used, these key waypoints are a great help in describing and following the routes. They take the guesswork out of locating positions on the map based on vague descriptions in a guide book

Other useful information for walkers and climbers, including useful local telephone numbers. Each guide contains the telephone number of a local "walker friendly" private taxi that can be a great help in organising the logistics of your trip, or just getting back to the car if you decide not to return directly to your starting point.
