A blog mostly written by Lynsey and sometimes read by Josh (who is usually in the mountains) that aims to document our life in rural North Wales, the homebase for Crashpad Lodges. Here you will find everything from how we manage and run our off-grid accommodation business, our journey to become sustainable, crafting new interior items to weathering the weather!
Each article is around 7 minutes long, just enough time for a panad and a read

Walking up Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon), Wales’ highest mountain.
Last week it was announced in The Times newspaper that according to users of Ordnance Survey’s app mapping system, OS Maps, the busiest 1km2 grid square in Great Britain is to the summit of Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon). At at peak times it certainly does get busy, from Crashpad Lodges you can see a colourful rainbow line of walkers making their way up to wales’ highest peak during the day. When the sunset walkers return back down you can witness the most wonderful lines of lights as the many head torches light the way down.
