On Friday 18th of September 2009, a number of University staff completed a sponsored walk up Snowdon.
The walk enabled 15 members of staff to take on the challenge of the Rhyd Ddu route, which they started walking at 9.20am and they reached the summit at 12 noon. The weather was wonderful and allowed panoramic views of North Wales, and after spending an hour in the visitor's centre for refreshments, rest and relaxation they began a slow descent, reaching ground level at 4pm, via the slightly longer Snowdon Ranger route, and recovered with a well earned drink at a local hostelry.
The event raised over £600 for the Ty Gobaith children's hospice.
Many thanks to John Charles for videoing the walk, which we hope you enjoy viewing.
