🇬🇧 Snowdonia 斯諾登山 🇬🇧

在2013年，我到威爾斯探訪朋友，他帶我到斯諾登國家公園遊覽。可惜那天我們太遲出發，只夠時間走一部分路程，未能登上斯諾登山。
In 2013, I went to visit a friend in Wales and we went to the Snowdonia National Park. Unfortunately we left home too late and didn't have enough time to climb all the way up to the Snowdonia.

當天我們帶同朋友的狗狗 Blodwyn一起，Blodwyn 威爾斯文是白色小花的意思。
That day, my friend's dog Blodwyn came with us, Blodwyn means white flower in Welsh.

在2015年我再度去探訪這朋友，今次我終於登上斯諾登山! 這座全威爾斯最高的山，僅次於坐落蘇格蘭全英國最高的本尼維斯山。相比臺灣的山，斯諾登山其實只屬於小山丘，因它只有1085米高。但對英國人來說，尤其威爾斯人，他們都以這山為榮。
In 2015 I went to visit my friend again, and finally made it up to the Snowdonia! The Snowdonia is the highest mountain in Wales and the second highest in UK after Ben Nevis in Scotland. It is 1085m high , that's low compared to the mountains in Taiwan, nevertheless it is a mountain that many Brits, particularly Welsh are very proud of.

上斯諾登山一共有六條登山步道，全部都需要約六至七小時，但各有不同難道。我走的當然不是難度最高的步道，但上山及下山卻選了兩條不同步道，景觀有些不同。
There are six hiking routes to the top of Snowdonia ranging from different levels of difficulty, each taking about 6 to 7 hours. Of course I didn't choose the most difficult ones. I went up the Pyg Track and came down the Miners' Track, as they each offered a slightly different view of this famous landmark.

上山之路，已走了三小時，很累呀！
We came up the Pyg Track, and by this time I had been climbing for over three hours, it was hard work!

終於到山頂啦！
Made it at last! The view from the top of Snowdonia.

山頂有一個遊客中心，裡面有咖啡店和小商店賣些紀念品。我沒在室內逗留太久，因為外面風景更值得欣賞，而且可以把自己的小小成就盡入眼簾。
There is a visitors centre at the top of the mountain which includes a cafe and a gift shop. However, I spent most of the time outside, admiring the amazing scenery and feeling really pleased with myself.

休息片刻，我們開始下山。沿途上我看到些小山羊在蹦蹦跳跳，看上好像十分輕鬆。
After a little rest, we descended back down via another route. I saw some sheep hopping around the mountains, they make it look so easy!

差不多走到山腳，我回望剛才下山之路，感到真自豪!
Looking back at the Miners' Track that I just came down from, I felt immensely proud of myself that day!

不想那麼辛苦的遊客可以坐觀光火車登山。我登山的步道最後一段是在火車路軌旁邊走，四周真的很漂亮，我想沿途的風景也應該是一樣迷人噢！
For those who don't want to hike, there is the Snowdon Mountain Railway. The final part of my hike ran along side the railway track, so I imagine the view is just as breathtaking coming up on the train.

縱使這樣，我還是覺得我登山時見到的風景必定更加漂亮，因為辛苦得來的東西一定是最好的！
However, I think my view coming up has to be better than the train as nothing beats the beauty and satisfaction when you have worked hard to achieve it!
