MEND OUR MOUNTAINS UPDATE
Thanks for all your support – please keep it coming
NEW LIVE SNOWDON CONDITIONS MONITOR Get live updates about conditions on Snowdon from your couch
When Snowdon reopens, you will be able to tune into live weather and conditions information beamed directly from the summit of Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa), thanks to a ground-breaking project from the BMC, with funding from the BMC Access & Conservation Trust, and support from Visit Wales, Snowdonia National Park and Natural Resources Wales. This will help you plan your day and hopefully also reduce some unnecessary call-outs to the UK’s busiest mountain.
How does it work? DataCymru Ltd was contracted to design and install a simple weather station on the mountain’s summit to provide live 24- hour weather information, including temperature, wind speed and direction, humidity levels and ‘feels like’ temperature.
While designed primarily for hill-walkers, this weather station will also enable climbers going to

Cloggy (Clogwyn Du’r Arddu), Cyrn Las or Lliwedd a better chance of grabbing their classic routes in both summer and winter.
Also check out our live Winter Weather Conditions Information pages for winter climbers heading out in Snowdonia or the Lakes, so you know when conditions are suitable for winter climbing, and can avoid damage to internationally important alpine vegetation.
The BMC’s Mend Our Mountains campaign is continuing to do some great work. In the Peak District, £175,000 was raised to repair two of the most popular and heavily eroded routes – a kilometre-long stretch of the Great Ridge footpath, between Mam Tor and Lose Hill, and various boggy sections of Cut Gate, on the Derwent Moors. The MoM appeal also succeeded in raising £40,000 to install a sustainable path on the steep route up Ben Vane in the Arrochar Alps, and £60,000 to repair the wide and extremely visible scar on Carn Liath, part of the Beinn a’ Ghlo massif. You can find more success stories online.
