0:02:43 > 0:02:47- The special mountain ridge - goes from one summit to the next.
0:02:47 > 0:02:51- Every other trek in the book - is a circle...

0:03:17 > 0:03:20- Below there are many lakes.
0:03:21 > 0:03:25- In the Nantlle Valley, the slate - would form in a certain way...
0:03:26 > 0:03:31- ..which meant they needed to burrow - down into the earth to get slate.
0:03:32 > 0:03:37- Without the working pumps, - the lakes have filled with water.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41- Naturally, you'll find a chapter - about Snowdon in the book.
