    Great vid - thanks for taking us along. Respect ✊ for doing the litter pick. Liked and subbed for that very reason. ATB Mark.

      Thanks so much buddy, I imagine snowdon gonna need a few litter picks after the latest influx. So I'll have to plan another one 👍

    Fantastic walk up Dave. I couldn't agree more with the litter code and the madness of plastic. I don't take plastic bottles out with me - I refill a compressible one all the time for this reason partly. I've been up once with my twin Paul and a friend on such a day as this, The views are awesome. Good going on the clean up. All the best. Mark

    Thank you for the video. Is wild camping allowed in Wales and if so, are there designated areas ?

    • @qualitymountainday
      @qualitymountainday  ปีที่แล้ว

      Wild camping is not legal however allowed with permission of the landowner. However if the correct practices are adhered too most of the time you will never encounter any pushback. There are no designated wild camping areas however I would recommend set up later in the day, leave early, leave no trace and make sure your camp in wild. That means aim to camp above the highest fell wall. I'm glad you enjoyed the video, and hope you enjoy your wild camping journey 👍

    Came to see what the Llanberis path is like for an upcoming family hike but absolutely love that you did some litter picking on the way. Shame careless people leave their little though 😕

    • @qualitymountainday

      Yea it's a great path but it definately accumulates litter being a major tourist path.

    I came here to get an understanding of this route, I have maps printed out but need to 'feel' it. I hope the weather is great as I plan to hike over the May bank holiday (not too hot or cold).
    I am worried it's going to be extremely busy but as it's my first time I have to do this as advised - taking the easier route first. Thanks for putting this out there, if I was experienced I'd throw in litter picking, or maybe I might do this on the way down 🤔

    • @qualitymountainday
      @qualitymountainday  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @qualitymountainday  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Ah man thanks, I'm actually a total novice at editing and only record all this on my Huawei P20 phone lol I'm still learning and trying to add another editing aspect to my vids everyweek. But that means a lot so cheers pal. I use the free version of Davinci Resolve as it allows for more creative control. But can get intensely confusing as I quickly found out. I just follow the tutorials though and it seems to work. What do you use?

    • @OutandaboutwithSpencer
      @OutandaboutwithSpencer 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Outdoors With Dave I use a GoPro hero 6 and Nero video software but struggle with time (and patience) to use most features. I usually end up just trimming a few clips and putting them together. The opening driving sequence and stopping for coffee at the beginning of your vid was awesome.

    • @qualitymountainday
      @qualitymountainday  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks Spencer. The beginning is just quick clips really. Cut down. You do a good job with what you got mate, I find that TH-cam has the best tutorials on all these editing programmes so I really just follow those. But most of mine are like yours just cut to music or simply on their own. I honestly don't think you need all the best gear anyway nowadays there's not much difference in any of this stuff!

      I mean that the music is hugely louder than the rest of the audio. The effect is that when the speaking, I turn the sound up to hear you but then when the music comes in it blows the speakers out, then rinse and repeat.
      It's otherwise a great video. I don't know what software you use but in most there is a rebalancing equaliser effect that you can use to bring the loud and quiet parts to similar volumes to address that.

    If you're going to upload videos on youtube, then :
    1. lower down the music volume a bit - the difference when you talk and when music plays is too big. We have to lower down the volume when music plays and turn the volume up when you speak - cuz we can't hear you if we leave it on LOW (due to music).
    2. invest in a noise cancelling microphone - the one with a foam membrane/casing cuz the wind ruined the video.
    This 2 reasons made me press the dislike button.
    All the best and hoping to see an improvement over your next videos.
