Popped in here early Saturday morning as my better half's boots had given up the ghost immediately…read morebefore we set off to take on the Watkin Path. We were expertly and enthusiastically aided by a chap who's name I unfortunately didn't catch who found us a great replacement pair (to some very stringent requirements) and went very much above and beyond to make sure we were fully set. I'm glad to report that the boots made it comfortably up the path and back down again and are ready for their next adventure. Many thanks!

Y Warwwwwwwwwwws Beddgelert…read more Some older readers will get that, younger readers probably won't! Y Warws is a pretty famous outdoor gear shop in Beddgelert. They sell high quality walking, hiking, mountaineering etc clothing and equipment. Lots of the clothing sold here is Gelert branded, produced locally, and with a good reputation in outdoorsey type circles. Y Warws is also an excellent place for camping gear, tents, waterproofs, anything you might need to survive an adventure in Snowdonia if you're unlucky enough to visit during the rainy season (50 weeks approx per year, sometimes 52). The stuff sold here isn't the cheapest, but it's quality. I have to be honest and say that the same high quality branded gear can pobably be found cheaper online, but for once I'd actually recommend visiting the shop, discussing your needs with the knowledgeable staff, and buying something from them instead of the cheapest option. They not only sell good stuff, they also provide you with a service, buying advice, and will in my experience steer you toward what you need, not simply the items that make them most profit.
