Some years ago you used to be able to park down the pass a few hundred yards in one of the laybys and then cut across the grass onto the pyg track.  They then filled in the laybys and started charging more  at Pen y pass.  It was to encourage use of the snowdon sherpa bus service was one explanation.

Just ripping people off more like.

The car park at pen-y-Pass is now charging £10 for more than 4 hours parking. Crazy.

We DID it!!!

4 hours walking up an down total time 7.5 hours inc 1.5 hours on the summit

Had a view of sorts as the cloud and mist lifted and walked 8 miles in total up the Rhyd Ddu path and down the Snowdon Ranger. We were staying at silver Birches and got the sherpa bus to the car park and back again.

In total we climbed 4 mountains but did one twice, met a group running on the way down finishing the 3 peaks challenge they did it with 5 minutes to spare!.

If you are thinking of doing it ten go for if we can get up there anyone can
