Unusually large numbers of hill walkers on Saturday make their way to the summit of Snowdon, catching the last of the summer weather.
About 360,000 trekkers ascend the 1085m peak - the second highest mountain in Britain - every year. Queues have been known to form at the summit in the busiest summer months. The mountain’s appeal as a major tourist attraction is bolstered by the Snowdon Mountain Railway that makes it way to the summit, travelling 7.6 km from the nearby town of Llanberis.
