Just feeling very proud so thought would post on here that climbed Mount Snowdon this weekend and was diagnosed Type 1 Diabetic nearly 4 months ago! With the aid of a few bits of fruit and nuts it was easy peasy- just have sore legs!

Well done Claridge.
You deserve to post your achievements on here as an inspiration to all those newly diagnosed.
What can be achieved when you put your mind to it.

Do you need any advice for the sore legs ? :lol:

How fantastic! Well done you. Which route? I haven't been up a mountain since diagnosis last May but I was thinking about doing Snowdon this year and now feel really encouraged thanks to your post!
I envy you. We've just had to cut short our break to the Snowdonia area, as I got a really heavy cold/flu-y thing. Hubby was determined to go up Snowdon but even climbing much smaller peaks, my legs felt like lead and I was having trouble breathing, so hubby decided we'd go the lazy-man's way up Snowdon.We drove to Lanberis to get the railway only to find it was fully-booked, so we never got to the top of Snowdon at all,by foot or train.Out of interest, had the cloud cleared enough for good views? It rained nearly the whole time we were away, which didn't do much for morale but the little I saw of Wales looked beautiful. Aber falls was really pretty.
We went up the pig route which was very good fun! But had to come down the railway due to the weather- torrential rain for most of it- cloudy pretty much whole way and at one point we had hailstones! But it was great fun though- and sorta scared of hights so maybe a good thing l couldnt see anything haha. Looking forward to doing it again in summer though.
My pre training exercise was spinning class, running machine up hill and walking up stairs at work.
I was so pleased with my Blood sugar! And l got to eat yummy fruit!
Not sure what the cafe was like before but l thought its really good now.
Although take your own food- all pastries and cakes!

Thats just admirable
I hope that gives others inspiration, that not only does life go on after diagnosis of type 1 but a fulfilling future lies ahead. My son was diagnosed 5 months ago now- Zac continues with all his activities his favourite being ice skating.
Much respect

It depends how fit you are.
It is usually pretty busy and has a very clear path so definitely not the most dangerous hike in the UK.
