  • This is a fantastic route up Snowdon and my prefered walk when taking others. We start at the car park at Pen y Pass Youth Hostel.
    Getting to the start point:
    Park at Pen y Pass:
    You can park at the start point but this is very limited and usually full. It is best to book parking on the website before you arrive. www.justpark.com/uk/parking/s...
    There are several laybys with paid parking nearby. There are also some free laybys further out but if you are having difficulty you can get busses from the nearby villages.
    Busses to Pen y Pass:
    There are regular and reasonably priced busses to the car park from the nearby villages. On the day I went, which was a bank holiday Monday they were arriving every 15 mins. snowdoninfo.com/sherpa-bus-se...
    The Route:
    This is my usual route up Snowdon. Although most people will start down the miners track this leaves all the ascent to be done in one go once you pass Glaslyn. The Pyg track splits the climb into 2 parts divided by a long flattish walk and views over the lakes.
    The path is very stable for most of the journey and provides an enjoyable hike to the top of Wales. This is a "must do mountain" for hikers and one I hope you love!

    If you are sure-footed then by far the best route up Snowdon is Crib Goch. I did it in winter, over 40 years ago, on a sunny day, when it was covered in snow. That was really scenic.

    Nice video! I will confess - we took the train up a few weeks ago. We were only in the area for a few days - and I didn’t want to miss the opportunity to see Snowden. Weather was very unpredictable - and I’m just grateful that we were able to visit the summit. The views going up were incredible - when the clouds weren’t moving in. 😊 Would love to hike it someday!

    Tony, I sincerely hope your channel grows and provides you with success. What a great mix of information and entertainment. You have a likeable presentation style and quality post-production. Keep plugging away and the You Tube algorithm will eventually reward you!

    Great video Tony. How on Earth did you manage to get the trig to yourself on a B/H? We were up there mid week in the clag with no train right to the top and they were queuing back down the mountain to touch the trig! We’re there again later this year, so hopefully it’ll be quieter with some views.
