For anyone going to Snowdonia make sure you have some good gear and waterproofs, it most certainly will rain. When I did the three peaks back in 2014 Snowden fell on the sunniest day and the skies cleared coming down, I gotta say that half an hour jog down felt so easy. Can't say the say on the two other days with their torrential rain.

Great to see you enjoying our islands, guys. I love the genuine excitement and pleasure you exude. But please be a bit more careful when hill walking or climbing here in future. The weather can change very quickly and you need to be prepared for that. Strong footwear, layers, hat, waterproofs and some food and drink are the bare essentials. Especially if you head North to do The Ben. Our Mountain Rescue Teams are volunteers and they get called out far too often because people (including us natives!) just aren't prepared. Thank you for posting your lovely videos of this weird and wonderful place.

I mean for rainy Wales... you had it good! lol We went up Pen Y Fan (Brecon Beacons) on a day that started with hail in Cardiff and low lying cloud, ended up being one of the hottest days of the year and the day some soldiers in training died from heat exhaustion. I've climbed many places in the world, but Wales has got to be the most changable I've experienced. Having said that, awesome shots of the Welsh hills!

Eric and Allison, I highly recommend you look for KZfaq videos of the Mach Loop which is in Wales. The Mach Loop is a set of valleys, situated between Dolgellau in the north, and Machynlleth in the south (and from which the Mach Loop gets its name), which are regularly used for low level flight training, with flying as low as 250 feet (76 metres) from the nearest terrain. The RAF and the USAF train there. The videos of the jets along with the breathtaking scenery are really fantastic. I've never seen them 'in real life' but regularly watch on KZfaq. Great video btw. I really enjoyed it, thanks.

I can't believe you guys went up the Pyg track (and with minimal gear!) The Pyg track has some really steep and difficult parts. If you do visit again, come in summer on the clearest day you can, because the view from the summit is breathtaking. I highly recommend the Llanberis track. It's the most gentle route to the top, unless you count the train of course :) loved the video and have subscribed

Never seen one of yours before and I don't normally subscribe to big channels but I have to watch your Helvellyn video, (as I love that climb) as well. At first I was like... What, it this amature hour, late start, no proper equipment but continued watching and it was a real fun, well produced and edited watch. I have done the 3 highest peaks in the UK and Snowdon was the one that left me totally underwhelmed. To be fair, we were forced (due to a friends bad knee) to take the tourist (Llanberis) path and the weather was pants all the way to the top, so we never got a view either lol. Good to see you got down and eventually, back to your digs safely. Great watch, cheers Alan

@ynys_mon6928 3 жыл бұрын

I watched this when you first posted. Really appreciated that you visited North Wales and enjoyed all those vlogs. On rewatching, I’m thinking you would have been better just doing the ‘trail’ up Snowdon from near where you parked. It looks like you were near the Watkin Trail in Nant Gwynant. Yes, it’s more of a climb, as you start at a lower altitude, but it’s not that much more difficult than the trail you took, and you wouldn’t have had the problems with transport that you experienced. We’ve done most of the Snowdon trails, our favourites being the less busy routes from the Snowdon Ranger (there’s a YHA hostel at the base) and the Rhydd Ddu route. Having grown up in North Wales I suggest that anyone wanting to walk up Snowdon check out weather reports before setting out. It’s a mountain that is notorious for casualties, even in summer. In other seasons it claims a lot of lives. I guess people think it’s not that high and it has a touristy train to the summit, so must be pretty easy? Out of the summer season a combination of ice and gentle slopes above precipitous cliffs can make it lethal.

Hi again. o/ Main tip for things like Snowdon, Cadair Idris, Blencathra et cetera: get there to day before, sleep there and set off early. The sooner you get up there the longer you get to spend at the summit waiting for a gap in the clouds and that perfect view before you *have* to come back down and the more likely you are to be back before everything shuts down ... ... including the sunlight. Being back down before the sunlight shuts down for the night is quite important. Minor tip: if you thought that bit you showed was vertical and scary you'd find the Scale Force path exciting. It has ... moments.

My wife and I made the mistake of climbing snowdon one autumn when the weather was nasty. Took us a few hours to get up there but then my back and legs gave way and I couldn’t see myself getting back down and it was getting dark. The last train down was full and we were starting to worry about how we would get back. Thankfully the staff took pity on us and let us ride the staff train down for free. I’d love to hike it again, but sadly my body has other ideas.

If you can get there early there are some spaces in the lay-bys. On the road down to Llanberis. And can walk up along side the road to the carpark where you started or it is open access land so you can track up the side and find the path. Be careful thought you don't want to end up on Crib Goch unless you are a very experienced walker/climber. If you are really experienced thought this is a really good route. On a knife edge at some points.
