Welsh 3000s in May

Hey Gang!

Planning a big hike early May. I'm going to do the Welsh 3000s.

Taking it easy, not a race and i will probably wild camp 1 or 2 nights.

I'm coming from Jersey and I'm not bringing a vehicle. Plan is to get to the foot of Snowdon, do the 3000s and then it's likely I'll turn around and do it back again. Then bus/train back down to the harbour and home.

I'm fairly experienced. Done a lot of hiking. Last year completed the Jersey all island walk in the top 200. Took around 16.5 hours. And I have done a little camping but this will be a pretty big trip.

Looking for some advice on what kind of load I should carry on Crib Goch and any other dodgy sections.

I'll have a 1 man tent, basic kettle and gas bottle, 2 days food + some water. Then all the other gear. Phone, spare cloths etc.

Concerned that my backpack is going to be a nightmare at the more risky areas.

Anyone got any tips?

Have you carried a 2-3 day pack on the 3000s?

What opportunities are there to restock water and food?

Any hints or words or wisdom greatly appreciated!
