    THANKS SO MUCH for sharing this!
    I had no idea how beautiful Snowdon could be, having only ever taken the Llanberis path (I’ve only climbed it 4 times ). I can’t wait to not only walk this route and experience all this glorious scenery, but also to make some very special memories with my adult daughters too. I may be 50, but I’m determined to reach the summit again AND bathe in all of those waterfall pools 😁 Thankyou again for all your help and extra information, I feel the Welsh tourist board should be paying you something for your time !! Take care , Zoe from Warwickshire x

    To answer your question, I guess it depends what you want from the mountain.
    Crib Gogh is by far the most spectacular IMO (especially for a winter assent), Miner's is the quickest to ascend, but you get some great views, and the Pig is good fun.
    It's a great mountain to be on from any path, and even if you take the train up! Looks like you had perfect conditions, nice video. Cheers.

    I've done Crib goch to Snowdon and came down the pyg track. The visit to Snowdon before that I went up and down via the Watkins Path and loved the waterfalls on the ascent, and the fact on the way down you can basically walk down the grass and follow the stream back cushioning the knees in the process.

    Hi mate can you get parked near the watkin path?

    • @exitthehouse
      @exitthehouse  3 года назад +3

      Yes there is some free off road parking along the slip road just before the cafe 'Caffi Gwynant' if you get there early enough, we got there about 8:30 am and got the second to last space. Then there is a pay and display car park on the other side of the a498 road which also has a small toilet block (6 pound for day I believe). When I was there people were also parking on the nearby main road grass verges but you have to be careful with this as the police have been clamping down this year with cars parking in certain none designated parking areas around the starts of the routes up to Snowdon.
