    I a always glad to find YTrs that "dare" to produce long videos! Concentration is replaced by brief look and wipe...? Very interesting video - thanks. Guess yo are a professional photographer and would be more than pleased if you could let me have your comments on perhaps my "stories" about Venice where I went for the first time. Must admit that it is easier to catch memorable moments on film but I still prefer using my camera for good photos and that's why I always combine it. If you find the time - thank you. No doubt your shots are excellent ! Waiting for what is to come next.

    Harry -- The stunning photos you took made the "Watkin Path" really worth it, not to mention the beautiful waterfalls en route. What troubles me is the descent. Going down, you feel as though you are going to fall, supported by the fact you can see how many hundreds of metres you can fall. If I made the ascent by the Watkin Path, I would choose an easier route down, eg, Miner's Track, Pyg Track ( as in pyg iron), or Llanberis Pass. Am I allowed to ask how old you are, as you seem so fit for a man above 60?

If however you were dropped off at one car park, the driver could have a pleasant day driving to a nearby town to do some shopping, and then on to the second car park for a pick up. Car parks fill early, so a pick up only is probably the best you could do, as the second car park is likely to be full..

You could have followed the Stert of the Rhyd Ddu path and gone down the South Ridge and turned left back into Cwm Lan and rejoined the Watkin path Lowe down. Brilliant stuff. Great video ❤❤❤, Jules 👍. I'm yet to do the 2nd half of the Watkin path. I did it years ago and turned left to the base of the South Ridge and went up Yr Aran many years ago. Then recently went up to the waterfalls before entering Cwm Lan, and went over the stone footbridge and up to Gallt Y Wenallt. 👍

    I was intrigued by your struggle on the Watkin Path if you've climbed to base camp at Everest ? I did the Watkin Path twice in June 2019, I was 75 yrs old. There were no steps, but scree towards the summit. Also, I find your comment re the "4000ft drops either side" whilst climbing Angels Landing in Zion Nat Park in Utah.. It must have grown since my hike up in 2002. The drop either side is 1000ft. Admittedly a very narrow ridge, so not for the faint hearted. It should be tackled first light before the crowds arrive. People do die on this ridge, but not as many as you have suggested. More people die in Grand Canyon every year, average 14, through various means, heat exhaustion, dehydration, foolhardness, wrong gear, suicide. I've hiked both rims since 1994, last time 2012, a total of five times, no exaggeration. I'm now 80 yrs old, so do know my facts from a lifetime of hikes in the US and UK.

    Probably the cheapest camper van to buy, build and run, the simplicity of the boot box makes these usable for up to 5 people (if you put a roof tent on it), anywhere a car can go, these go. Great video, super photography in a super location with its velvet covered rocks and towering rock faces, the latter I believe were cut rocks from at least 1 millennium, subscribed and ready for more.

    Live there Harry, the Peak is wild and lovely, but the Derbyshire dales have a beauty all of their own as well. I have a V.W Caddy, but it was bought for my wife who was disabled. you can get a tent for the rear end of these things as well for £120 or less. The wheelchair ramp comes down at the back giving me a lot of options, I will be looking into that this summer. Rocks and skys are so dramatic in B&W, but if you are photographing mossy woodland then it looks like colour is the way to go. Just my opinion looking at your great shots, keep up the good work.

    You've just been shooting in my back yard. Your image worked well, but take it from me there's wealth of photographic opportunities across Lincolnshire from the coast, wolds and idyllic villages and characterful market towns. Where the tank is, it's part of an air weapons range used by jet fighters, helicopters and other military aircraft. There are also some fascinating tidal creeks.

      Really not as hard as they make out. Just focus on the aperture to start with . A small aperture number 2.8 for example means very little in focus, large number like 11 or 22 means everything in focus from foreground to the distance. There you go, try that In aperture mode.

    Basically, I hiked up solo snowdon, never done it before by myself on the 2n Jan. And thats what I found, no clear path and the incline is insane, it was testing my mental ability and I really struggled. I took a osmond route up. I only made it to clawdd Coch 931m - because the icy ridge and fog was in and my energy didnt change the last 100m elevation. This relieves me to see that I wasnt insane and its crazy! haha dont recommend this route for the first time going up snowdon and your an inexperienced hiker.

    Yours is the second video I've seen covering this walk. On both occasions both have referred to it as the WATKINS Path. It is, in fact The WATKIN Path, named after Sir Edward Watkin. Having climbed it many times, the first time in 1960, apart from Crib Goch, it's my favourite path to Snowdon. I was fortunate to climb in a time before widespread erosion when the paths were lightly worn by the boots of not so many walkers.
