This weekend I was once again in the Ogwen Valley where I stayed overnight in the van. The weather was so bad I seriously thought it was going to tip. Gale Force winds and torrential rain swept through the valley but that did not deter me, I live for this kind of stuff. My plan was to hike up to Glyder Fawr Summit via The Devils Kitchen then return via the summit of Y Garn. Although timid to start, the weather took a turn for the worst once I started Glyder Fawr, but it was all worth it. I met Alwyn, a 74 year old fell runner who was manning a post on top of Glyder Fawr Summit in the torrential rain and we had time to share a coffee and chat about what he was doing there. After leaving him at the top, I descended to wish the runners good luck as they past me on my ascent of Y Garn. These runners were on another level. The race was called Pedol Peris which is a gruelling 28km race around the Peris Horseshoe, I will link the route so you can see for yourself below! Anyway the whole day was really interesting, and the rainy, windy weather really added to the dynamic of hiking this route. Thanks again to Alwyn for being the fittest, most active 74 year old I am yet to meet, hopefully he got down safe! Im sure he did!

Have done similar route but camped at the top of Devil's Kitchen. Enjoyed watching your film as I recognized the place :)
Oh great how did you find the camp, there's some decent spots on the top where it plateaus near the lake. It's one of my favourite places to hike in all Snowdonia to be honest. Thanks for watching!
Solid vid dude, looked wind as fook up ont tops!! stoked i got to watch it all before my shift kicks in!! buzzing to see what you start bringing out when ya get ya drone!! happy trails bro!
Thanks mate, it was crazy windy and I forgot the adaptor for my mic, but I used the gopro and it held up well. have a great shift, if you can on nights! I have a week of night shifts next week. urghh.
@@qualitymountainday gopros are dope man love mine but could really do with a better cammera for the vlog stuff as my gimble screws with the mic. nights are sound means i get paid to edit haha
Yes mate. Was a crazy weekend. Looking forward to watching.
it was mate, i saw you abandoned camp, did it get that bad!
@@qualitymountainday Yeah dude, the wind was ripping our tents out of the ground.
@@thetrailhunter4469 blimey, it was like that the night before, i thought it was gonna tip my van at about 2am and id be waking up in Llyn Ogwen
@@qualitymountainday Freakin' mental. Awesome edit mate. Really enjoyed that.
@@thetrailhunter4469 thanks a lot mate, we're getting there slowly, i'm stoked you enjoyed it though, im looking forward to getting to grips with this drone now, I really thing it will add a new dynamic and help lengthen the videos, without repeating the same sorta shots! ONWARDS & UPWARDS!!
Ah man sorry I couldn’t catch your premiere. Sick sick video! Amazing edit. That opening was so dope. Looked bloody ruff! Some bloody beautiful scenery once you dropped down out of them clouds. ✌️ Ben
Thanks for watching mate, it's one of my faves to walk that. the editings still new to me but we're getting there, trying to think outside the box. It was a rough, but great day still and it's always a treat to meet decent people en route.
Outdoors With Dave looked bloody epic man. Haha your Rab jacket took a bloody good soaking ey. Did it perform well ? Am expecting a ton of rain this weekend
It did mate its probably the best jacket I've bought, I mean I still got wet cos the rain was sideways, however it kept the wind out a treat, I wasn't cold at all and I only had a base layer and t-shirt on underneath.
Yes mate this was a mental hike about the elements looked crazy!!!! Really cool video, great editing and music.... and when your camera fell over i was like aaahhhhhh....nice one Geeza love it peace out!!!
Thanks for your comment mate, it was a hell of a day, tough wind and rain but nothing broke 👌have a fab weekend!
The Devil's Kitchen is that steep gully at 2:40 with the waterfall coming from it.
I know mate, but to most, the hike is usually considered the devil's kitchen hike, even though you don't actually enter it.
Great video, Allan's a good sport too and those runners are crazy but very brave. Amazing landscape aswell!!!
Thanks Darling x
That’s a very moody morning in Snowdonia. Wow the weather got bad! It’s dangerous up there at the best of times. Glad you got down ok. Anyone who runs up those mountains - is a nutter in my opinion! Thanks for sharing, it was a fun video 🍻
Yea mate it can change rapidly, lovely towards the end though, thanks for watching 👍
Great video, particularly loved the music which fitted the change of weather on the summit! Doing my first ever Walk of to the Summit in a few weeks, I am so excited!
Awesome Grant, Have a great time. and thanks for the feedback on the music, I usually take some stick for my music choices so im glad you brought that up, cheers !
Awesome snowdonia and exercise there ,nice videos
Thanks 👍
Great stuff this, can't wait to do this walk in a month or so!
Thanks for the great feedback 👍 I hope you enjoy your trip
Looks amazing! I've only been up to Llyn Idwal. Never been up to the devil's kitchen, but it's on the list!
Great, you'll have to head up there next time, it's a great place to hike 👍
A great walk Dave..although it didn’t look like shorts weather to me! Maybe I’m just nesh. 😂 some cracking footage of one of my favourite places. Looking forward to some drone footage. ATB Spencer
It lashed it down Spencer, thought my van was gonna tip the night before! Yea I'm also looking forward to getting to grips with this little flying robot! Gonna be interesting!
Cracking video here, mate! Can't get enough of these outdoor walking hikes especially in North Wales. I'll be there for a break next week so looking to redo Glyder Fawr. Last time I went there my North Face resolve jacket was ripped out my hands as I tried to put it on and it quickly blew away. It's still somewhere in Wales or, I hope, has got a new home. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for the feedback mate, it was a good day that, the weather really added to the dynamic of the day cos it cleared up which is so often the case. I hope you enjoy your hike wherever you end up in Snowdonia, have a great trip 👍
Afternoon Dave,
Been watching all the videos and they have been giving me inspiration to take hiking back up and continue my journey through Snowdonia and what it has to offer rather than Snowdon itself..
Finally conquered Snowdon via Lanberis path and will be doing the miners and Pyg track next.
Also please can you tell me the best starting route to Glyder Fach and Glyder Fawr.
Thanking you.😀
Hey, thanks for the message, I'm glad they've inspired you. Depending on your level of experience depends on how you conquer the Glyders,
less experience then I'd head up devil's kitchen, up Glyder Fawr, then Glyder Fach, then either return the same way or head down the Miner's Path near llyn Caseg-Fraith if your looking to turn it into a circular hike
More experience, I'd head up the North Ridge of Tryfan, onto Bristly Ridge, then across Glyder Fach, then Glyder Fawr, then down devil's kitchen.
There are many ways, I'd just find the best for you and your level of experience really, hope this helps, or maybe head out with someone so your not solo and can support each other 👍
Thank you so much for the feedback it is much appreciated
and for answering my question in detail as it is great and in-depth information.
As it’s my first time up the Glyders and not very experienced i think I will take the devils kitchen route.
Thank you once again.
May see you up there one day😂
👍😊
@@bethlester-bedford3134 good choice, I'd say that's the best route, its also a faveroute of mine too, enjoy the hike. I'm sure our paths will cross out there someday 👍
😊😃
Serious weather, great video, this has encouraged me to go and do this :-)
Great, enjoy yourself when you do go and hopefully the weather holds out.
@@qualitymountainday Thanks , I've been twice in past years and although the weather was great for my journey the hike was abandoned due to persistent torrential rain.. ...so maybe 3rd time lucky
This weekends weather is looking good for it 👌
Great video - I am hoping to do this route next week. It will be my first time in Snowdonia. Where did you park and is the route easy to follow / clearly marked? How long did this take for you? Can you share your route with me?
brilliant you'll love it, what a great for a first trip to snowdonia. I hope the weather holds up for you. Parking can be free along the A5 (if you get there early enough) or there is a pay and display at Ogwen Cottage. The route is pretty clear, but I always recommend being prepared if your'e unsure of the way. I don't know your level of experience so its always hard to tell. If your unsure, go with somebody else or maybe with a group, or if your'e confident in the mountains then crack on solo! Its a nice mountain day, I cant say how long it'll take as we all hike/walk differently. I would aim to be out for 6-8 hours. You can make it a lot shorter however by only heading up to Ygarn and not Glydr Fawr (That'll save almost 1.5hrs) Have a great time, and thanks for the comment.
if you have OS maps then here is the link for the route. explore.osmaps.com/route/11800034/boldadventures-glyder-fawr--y-garn-loop?lat=53.113202&lon=-4.037676&zoom=13.6604&style=Standard&type=2d&overlays=&placesCategory=
As far as I can see, you didn't venture into the Devil's Kitchen.
Technically, your bang on John 👍
Really fancy this walk - where is best place to park?
Where abouts is that path with big rock wall ASgt start and end of video?
You can park for free in the laybys on the A5 or pay and display in the car park near the cafe.
The wall is immediately to your right after heading up the small amount of steps near the cafe. You go over a small ladder and your there. Enjoy the hike 👍
Hi, I'm taking my granddaughter for her first mountain hike up 'y garn' in August, do you think the route you took in your decent is suitable for a 14 year old girl
Yes it should be fine, obviously the weather will be a factor, but I see family's complete the route all the time 👍
How meny hours does it take roughly
It's a good 6-7 hour day of steady hiking doing both summits with a few breaks.
Do you think this is doable with a dog?
Yes absolutely, in fact I've taken the dog before, she loved it!
@@qualitymountaindayamazing ty I’ve done Helvellyn and crib coch on my own but will have my two dogs in tow this time
@@jessicajames-burr9623 devil's kitchen is definitely doable, molly is very good off the lead with a great recall so its easy & stress free, if in doubt you can just keep the lead on. Either Ygarn or Glyder Fawr ascents are fine for dogs, she's done both 🐶
Why the effing annoying music! Just talk more
