Hikers climbing Snowdon complain about 'urine smell' and views of 'ugly rocks'

As one of the biggest mountains in the UK and just over 100 miles from Greater Manchester, Snowdon is an extremely popular hiking destination for Mancunians.

With an elevation of 1,085 metres (3,560 ft) above sea level and stunning views across Snowdonia National Park and the rest of North Wales, around half a million people make the trek to the peak every year. However, it is seemingly not for everyone, as North Wales Live reports.

Although it attracts an impressive five star rating on TripAdvisor, with 98pc of visitors ranking Snowdon as 'excellent' or 'very good', 21 people have left a 'terrible' rating. Some of the complaints are bizarre, with people complaining about its smell, lack of toilets and even how "exhausting" the ascent is.
