The Three Peaks from a unique Perspective! - Part 2

Continuing on with the Snowdon pics from our LAA 3 peaks challenge, we continued on up the remainder of Snowdon (stopping briefly to put a penny in the penny wishing tree) and then made our way to the summit (I had a wobble midway along a very narrow path along the side of a long drop, but once the moment had passed, I pulled myself together and continued my ascent to the top of the mountain by the mountain train platform and the cafe at the top and we all arrived at the top of Snowdon just after 8:00 AM.

At this point, the weather was dismal and the mist was still hampering any views from the top and the wind had picked up considerably.

The very last "summit" of Snowdon was a fairly small area atop a rocky area just big enough for our group to climb up onto (or so I'm told and see from the pics) with one of the staircases on either side to reach it. Unfortunately, given that I'd had a wobble moments earlier and was still feeling the after effects of it, the wind was howling on the very summit of Snowdon above the staircases , and as both staircases appeared to have a sheer drop off one side of the stairs, I decided after some thought that I couldn't bring myself to climb the final 15 or so, rocky steps to the summit, though I am happy in knowledge that I fought against my nervousness of heights and made it so close the the summit that the area I was stood below the few steps could be classed as the peak of Snowdon, so I am in no way dismayed (the nervousness of severe heights against long drops feeling stayed with me in some small part for most of Snowdon and Cadair Idris and a tiny bit on Pen-Y-Fan, but did not hold me back from completing the challenge).

As the cafe was closed for 15 minutes (15 minutes on a sunny day in Cardiff is no time at all to wait, but in terms of us completing the challenge of climbing the 3 peaks in the fastest time possible and ensuring we made it both up and back down Cadair Idris before dark, 15 minutes was too long to wait, so we decided to descend back down the Snowdon and crack on with the challenge).
As we moved away from the cafe, the weather cleared and the mists broke and the landscape very quickly changed from thick fog to beautiful views of the surrounding mountains of Snowdonia and as we started our descent, we passed some mountain bikers , some of which were riding up the mountain in the other direction to which we came and some of which were running up the mountain with holding mountain bikes above their heads.

We travelled down the narrow path I did not like. I let everyone go first and I took a deep breath and went for it and it was slightly better the second time, though I wasn't enjoying it and I completed that section and we went down the mountain with gorgeous views all around us and our soaking wet clothes and kit drying in the bright sunshine.
Much rock scrambling and rambling later, we made it to the bottom of Snowdon and walked for ages along the banks of the reservoir we had admired from above in its gloomy and then beautifully sunny states.

We made it back to the minibus just after 10:00 AM, taking quick toilet stops in the cafe and changing what clothes and kit we felt necessary to change and boarded the minibus (with Ann Davies ready to take us to the next car park for our next part of the challenge to begin on Cadair Idris.
Please see the next photo's for Cadair Idris and Pen-Y-Fan mountains. Cadair Idris photos were a bit less than Snowdon as I was concentrating on the climb more and some of the Cadair Idris photos were taken by other members of the team as I was finding it difficult to walk and take photos at the same time and Pen-Y-Fan photos were very few as tiredness set in by then and it was too dark to take any photos of the views, of which there were little in the dark.
