    Lovely video of my area ... thanks a lot. If I can leave a tip as a local, always use the Rhyd Ddu path. Much much easier access and parking. Always a very much quieter route. A little longer than the Miner's but not hugely steep at all, and some amazing views across Eryri and south-west along Pen Llyn and the sea. 😊👍

    • @Empire92online
      @Empire92online  3 роки тому +1

      Thank you so much! That is a great tip. Next time I'm up I will definitely take that route and hopefully the weather will allow us to see the views! 🙌

      Rhyd Ddu is My favorite route up snowdon, especially if you go up past the slate piles and take the ridge all the way up to the summit.

    Top Tip ,Don't climb it on ya 50th birthday at the end of November in a red weather warning with no training for your first time 😉 It took us 9 hours to the summit and back in rain, hail and snow. Zero visibility and the path was a foot deep in water which was running up hill. Best birthday ever 🤣🤣🤣

Nice photograph composition I must say. Thank you very much indeed for sharing. Stay safe 🙂 LIKE

    Great video and very well broken down! We absolutely love Snowdonia and keep going back. If you have the courage you must try Crib Goch!! It was scary but so awesome. More recently we went back and did the miners trail to the south ridge and it was amazing because we saw maybe like 2 people almost the entire way.. That is until we joined up with the main path headed to snowdon. Every single time we have summited Snowdon there has been a pretty intense storm on the way up. Definitely make sure you take layers and are prepared for that! Cheers!

To start this park at the Rhyd Ddu railways station car park - it used to be £5 to park up. If you are at all apprehensive about routes though and want something a bit different - there are a couple of mountain guides up that way that would guide you safely up and down any of the Snowdon mountains.

    this is very helpful. thanks so much. quick question, how did you get on with your drone footage, was this all ok? looks like you are easily able to fly one, as long as you are careful about your surroundings! cheers

      I had about 30 mins when the weather broke enough to fly it! It's super changeable up there so that was the biggest hurdle. I've got a dgi mini 2 which is below the 250g restriction which means I can fly it around people, have fun!

    YO! I've liked, subscribed and shared! I'm planning on doing Snowden very soon (van camping in my Astramax) and I too, have a husky. Please can you answer me, if I (sorry WE! Woo Roo Woo!) wanted to catch the park and ride, do they accept fluffy Siberians and what time does the last bus go back to where you said to park, finish?
    Basically, how long do we get up walking around, between the first and last bus?
    That info, if you have it, would make you a legend amongst legends if you responded back!! Take care!
