Llanberis Path  
This is probably the most famous descent in the area. It is also the most popular route for walkers, heading for the summit of Snowdon! Obviously, all possible precautions should be taken to ensure your safety, and the safety of everyone on this trail (as mentioned above)! Take the Path in ascent along with the walkers. This starts at the top of Victoria Terrace, near the Snowdon Mountain Railway. Pay close attention to all the obstacles as you ascend (2 hours 30mins). These are mostly rough-cut rock steps, and water-bars. Other possible obstacles are large herds of sheep, and equally large herds of school children from the West Midlands. You will be able to spot the sheep, by their lack of ill-fitting cagoules, and trail of litter! From the summit, this is a truly remarkable descent, marred only by the locked gates (on a bridleway?) that you noticed on the way up! There are rumours of descent-times of around 8.5 minutes, to the bottom of the path, but these descents were completed at sunrise, midweek, just after the end of the voluntary ban! Mmm! Interesting& Anyway, after this one, you’ll really be hooked. THe path is restricted to bikes from 10am to 5pm from the first of june til the thirtieth of september.
