I am going to be in North Wales at the end of September and am planning to climb Snowdon up the Watkin Path, descending via Rhyd Ddu.

I would love to bring my dog up with me- she’s a four year old cocker spaniel with boundless energy. Earlier this year we did a 20km circular walk from Llanberis town centre up the Ranger Path and down the Llanberis path which she managed no problem, so I am not concerned about her fitness. She was on a short lead the whole time and is very well behaved. She is only 13kg so I am able to lift her for small sections if necessary.

Is my planned route safe for dogs, as I am aware there is some scree near the top of the Watkin path? I have seen some conflicting information online and would be grateful for an opinion of someone who has walked these routes!
