Snowdon For Beginners

Q. Hi, I am planning on walking up snowdon on the llanberis path this weekend for charity and have never done anything like this before. I am planning on wearing leggings, lots of layers, a waterproof coat and summer walking shoes. Does anyone have any advice on anything I need to bring with me or what the walk is like? Thanks
