Haha, it took me nearly a year to finally pen down this story. In recent months, the idea of continuing to write on this blog has been nagging at me. But what can I say? I have the intention, but no willingness due to being swamped with work, moving to a new country (more on that later), and endless scrolling, and so on. However, tonight I'm making myself sit down and write because I know I'll treasure these writings when I'm older :')
In the previous episode, "Journey to Snowdon, Episode 1: The Car," you'll recall that we encountered some drama that slightly messed up our Snowdon schedule. The plan was to drive from London to Snowdon in the Northwest and make a midway stop somewhere in Hereford. However, it was already 3:00 PM when we finally got the car and hit the road. So Junda did his best to get us there before dark.
Driving to Snowdon by car can be a bit tricky because you can't just park anywhere you like. There's one car park in Pen-y-Pass, right across from the hostel we booked, which is at the very starting point of our hike. But it costs a fortune to park there, which was around £40 for overnight parking, and you have to reserve it days in advance due to limited space. There are other car parks available, but they're a bit farther from our hostel. Actually that's not a big issue because there's a sherpa bus running around the Snowdon area. However, since Snowdon itself is a remote location, therefore the bus schedule is limited, which is why we were worried about running late since the last bus leaves at 7:00 PM.
