[QUOTE="AdamJames, post: 1793243, member: 459333"] For shorter stuff in Snowdonia, you could do much worse than basing yourself in or near Betws-y-Coed for a weekend. There's camping or b&bs there, or even just 30 minutes drive away there will be the campsites you probably saw when you did Tryfan. The smaller campsite right at the foot of Tryfan is one of my favourites - if you venture over the rocks on the left as you drive in there's a bit of space where you can pitch a tent right by a river. The streets of Betws-y-Coed are usually full of tourists eating ice-cream, but many great shorter walks start there on foot, and as soon as you leave the village things get very peaceful and beautiful. One walk I'd recommend from there is up to LLyn Elsi. You can be up and down in about 3 hours. It's one of the more popular walks, but even so, it's surprising how few people are often doing it in spite of how busy Betws gets. Another one I'd recommend from there is up to LLyn y Parc, another lake but in the hills to the opposite side, and similar distance / time. Basically if you turn up in that area and buy a local walking guide book from one of the many outdoor shops there, I think you'd probably have a very enjoyable weekend! You can fill your time with lots of the smaller walks in that area, or if you feel more full of energy you can be at the foot of Snowdon in 30 minutes drive. Speaking of driving one of the most stunning drives in that area is from Betws-y-Coed to Beddgelert. And Beddgelert also has some very beautiful shorter walks. Anyway I'm rambling (do you see what I did there) but in summary I think if you turn up to that area with a tent or a B&B booked, and get a local guide book, you can't go wrong. [/QUOTE]
