I attempted to run it which ended up turning into a hike very quickly lol. Be careful of the wind, I nearly got blown towards some sharp drops also be wary of rocks that stick out of the grass which is a good reason to stick to the paths and have a good flashlight when it gets dark. Walking down Jacobs Ladder was a pain, literally gave me cramps walking sideways all the time. I couldn't find a path that wasnt too steep in the dark and I didn't have hiking shoes so I went to the very steep hill slightly northwest of the lake and tried to slide down on my backside which actually turned out to be much quicker and more convenient than zigzagging my way down lol. Beautiful place though, it felt like I was in Lord of the Rings.

My favourite mountain out of all of them in wales,...have climbed cader a few times now, never ever gets boring. Keep the videos coming, you're doing an amazing job ❤

This is fantastic and so glad I found this. My first ever trip to South Wales and looking for a lake and a nice hike to a ridge. I am struggling to find a video that has this lake then a walk up to the ridge, to the trig and not take in Lyn y Fan Fach? I can see a route splitting the two. Is that ok or best to retrace steps? Also where did you peark please. Thank you

Would you like a walking companion from time to time.

Thank you for this,I have just come across you and must say what I lovely video you have made.A real joy to watch! I tried this wall clock wise last year (Winter) and it was soo brutal we had to turn around.I am back there in a few weeks and I will try again with my son and Mrs.

Hey Christine I’m new here with a like and a comment and subscribe. Looking to do this walk real soon with a camp somewhere. Just me and dog ❤

Really nice video! Thanks! Happy New Year 2025!

Catbells is such a great walk with beautiful views over Derwentwater,one of our favourite walks in the Lake District in the summer months

This video appears to have been flipped horizontally in a short section in the middle. At 4:02 she is walking towards the reservoir with it on her left shoulder (as it should be). Then at 4:12 she is still walking towards the reservoir, but now on her right shoulder...? Normality is restored at 4:51. All very curious! :-)

Great video! This is a walk we really want to do. Does anyone know the route, or have a map or GPX file of the route?

What is the name of this route

Hi Christine I was delighted to meet you unexpectedly in Waterstones , Bath, yesterday! 😃 I really enjoyed this video and despite misty conditions it's a pleasure to watch. I always appreciate your choice of music and I notice you are using the music very intentionally (eg at 2.50, 3.40 - dramatic moment! , 6.27) like having music scored for the film. Well done. It's great to see how your channel is growing! Sasha x 💕

Beautifully filmed and presented a great watch i absolutely love Brecon roll on 2025 back up those hills ✊🏽 just subbed keep up the great content 😎

What month was it? Seems quite warm. Im planning to get there when its all be covered in snow.

Garnedd Ugain is the second-highest peak in Snowdonia 👍

I climbed red pike yesterday them steps are a killer and even worse going down very slippery this time of year, great video loved it thanks for the upload. Glad you had good weather it was very very windy and very cold when I reached the top.

Nice video! Came here looking for the views because my climb yesterday gave me none :)

Thank you for sharing this video, it is so nice

Wow this took me back, used to spend a lot of time in Snowdonia in the 1970's and go rock climbing at Cwm Silyn. Love the vids 🙂.

Ive been getting into camping for the past couple years now and more recently hiking. I went on a couple canal walks and ended up doing kinder scout starting at grindsbrook following it around and finishing at jacobs ladder back to the train station took me and my mate around 3 hours 30 minutes. absolutely beautiful the video doesnt do it justice.

Found your channel while looking up Red Pike. I got your comment that there is a section there that is vertiical. Did you have issues with the scree that is up there? Buttermere is my favourite part of the Lakes.

I loved the ice cream parlour in Beddgelert

A really good video Christine. That is an awesome walk. I completed the same route, but in the reverse direction, last May. I also inlcuded an 'out and back' to Yr Elen (making the walk just over 12 miles). I was lucky with the weather, a sunny day, so I had the views. Definitely worth another visitfor you (if you haven't already been back).

A good video of a great walk. I had planned to walk the same route in September. I was camping in the area. However, the weather turned pretty awful. I thought that I would save it for another, better, day. I am glad now. I need to see, and take in those glorious views. Thanks.

Great video, looks like a good, challenge, is there a car park on that stretch or are you in the lay bay?

I try again😂 Always enjoy your videos Christine. You walk and talk with a smile on your face. What a beautiful mountain. Stunning views at the start and then cloudy. Often the case😁 I'm camping by a waterfall now💚👋

Seems remarkably uncrowded for such a well known walk 🤔 so go midweek and avoid weekends and school holidays?

This walk is definitely on my bucket list too. Wow those views, worth waiting for a nice day! And I'll be getting some of that fudge next time I'm in Beddgelert!

Hi Christine, I have a teenage memory of walking across Llyn Ogwen (no, I'm not a God it was February). What, no cake at the first stop, what is happening 😂. Do you have a no view no cake rule? No others doing the same route so you were spoiled there, I've done Tryfan as well, now just the sight of it makes my knees ache. Cheers Graham

What a awesome hike in the beautiful Eryri National Park, shame about the clouds ☁️ rolling in . Still beautiful though 👌👌

Hugely enjoyable video. Inspiring as ever. Thank you.

Another brilliant video 🤩 Class 😎

Very nice, great job 🙂

A lovely video, I'm heading to snowdonia soon I hope, I can't wait to see those mountains and hike in a new area.

Cracking views of Tryfan Christine, such a shame the weather didn't allow you to look down on it .....🫶

Now that looks a very nice hike with awesome views, might have to go do that one and take my camera with me, seen plenty of great shots to get in your video. and i never knew that fudge shop was there, i know where it is now, i just went past it two weeks ago and never saw it! a good reason to go back now 😃 great video as always 😊

Great video again, that little scramble has had a few people turn back that i know of over the last few years. i first found it 2 years ago but was going the other way and had to down climb it in heavy rain, quite scary 😳 but other than that its awesome up there when there is a view and hardly another person about ☺looking forward to your next video.

Love the Carneddau and it's usually not too busy which is always a bonus.

An expertly filmed video Christine, I was thinking to myself at the beginning how lucky you seemed with the weather, always that way until you get to the top and then...clouds! Couldn't agree more on picking a day with good weather, I've done that little scramble section myself, not long but the rocks are slab-esque, not like Tryfan's South Ridge across the valley which is a much more stable climb. I was there recently and witnessed mountain rescue helicopter onto Pen Yr Ole Wen for a rescue (did notice a lot of people going up with what seemed a lack of equipment...) Sad to see no baked goods, but looking forward to your next adventure all the same.

I've done that route a few times, always in reverse though. It's often misty up there, it seems to hold the cloud more than other tops. The direct route down to Ogwen Cottage is a real knee cracker, I think you took the best route. Great video.

Love Oggy valley. Great walks.

It's interesting that Idris is also an ancient Arabic name which makes you wonder what connections there were in times long ago.

Very nice

Yes I did enjoy your vid, immensely so thank you. Those views into Mickelden are just awesome. Well done 👏

Thanks Christine. A ridge I'd like to try. Looks family friendly. You always seem to get reasonable weather. Dave Y.

Wow, lovely weather. So thats what it looks like without low cloud ! Great video, thank you 😀

Thanks for showing me this beautiful place where we were yesterday but didn't see anything due to the fog. But we did see mud instead of the landscape!
