- 🏞️ *Hiking Adventure in Snowdonia: Unexpected Snowstorm in the Glyderau! ❄️*
This was an unforgettable hiking and wild camp up the stunning Glyderau in Snowdonia, Wales in the Fjallraven Abisko Lite 3. Despite a clear and sunny weather forecast, nature had a surprise in store for us - the mountains covered in a blanket of snow, turning our hike into an epic winter wonderland experience! What an awesome place for the first wild camp of 2024.
Our trail led us alongside the foot of Tryfan, a mountain known for its distinct profile and challenging ascent up the North Ridge - my favourite! It was just a fleeting visit this time passing by but hope to return there soon for another scramble.
Shout out to @itsmescottp for the help with the route 🤙🏼
⛺ ** Wild Camping in Winter Wonderland: Glyder Fach Summit **
We quickly tagged the summit of Glyder Fach, the second-highest peak in the Glyderau range, standing proudly at 994 meters above sea level. Then as the weather closed in, I searched for the perfect wild camping spot for the Abisko Lite 3. Had a bit of a mare pitching it this time as you'll see in the video but hopefully sorted for next time.
🌨️ ** Winter Wonderland: The challenge packing up camp **
Awakening to even more snow, I then faced the challenge of packing away the Fjallraven Abisko Lite 3 tent with the wind and snow blowing in. Just about managed it haha.

Brilliant video kris. I can totally relate too your not getting out without motivation. Easier said than done.
Cheers Dave. Yeah it’s a strange one as absolute love being out I thrive of it and need it but not sure what stops me. I’m going to change things up and start putting dates in the diary and going regardless of weather and anything else. Think it’s the best way as leaving to the last minute to decide often doesn’t work for me
Awesome vid mate. Goos to see you're back out again. Looking forward tovsee more rhis year pal 🤙🏼
Thanks for your support as always fella
Nice to see you and Kaye again. I'm glad that you enjoyed yourselves, despite the unexpected snowstorm. As long as both of you stay safe. Hopefully you will be getting out hell of a lot more in the coming months.
Aww thanks as always and yes, definitely needed that. I headed out less than a week later solo on another snow summit camp in the Lakes which was ace too and that’ll be out next Monday.
@@krisgleave I'll look forward to it.
Hands down one of my favourite camps to date. Proud of you for getting up and out. Love you lots Mountain Goat 💚✨🐐
Haha mountain goat 🐐 😂😂. Yeah it was a great camp and you did really well as know you had to conquer some fears on that one. Still gutted you fell and hurt yourself 😖 x
Nice video and great weather 👍❄️
Thanks for that. We don’t get much snow but when we do it’s great to be out in it.
@@krisgleave Yes I see. Still waiting for a chance for my first winter hike this winter 🙂👍❄️
@@stigfloberghagenphotography I’m sure there will be more opportunities. There is some snow forecast this Thursday in the Lake District and Wales
I can sympathise with your pitching woes, I always solo camp and always used small single pole tents but decided to treat myself to some more space so got an Abisko Light 2. A couple of pitches in the garden to see how it goes and then time to hit the snow covered mountains, the wind didn't do what it was supposed to and decided to blow at 40mph with gusts over 60 whilst changing direction. The tent was going everywhere in every shape, the ground was frozen solid making pegging out a slow process and when I got one pole fitted the tent turned into a stunt hang glider rolling over a few times while levitating several feet in the air on the end of a guy line, at this stage I decided I would scrap the pitching attempt and spend another considerable amount of time trying to get the unruly brute back into its bag before heading down. Hoping for better luck the next time.
At least you have a new subscriber.
Haha I shouldn’t laugh but can literally picture that camp. Can be a nightmare pitching some tents can’t it. I’ve found the trick with this one is to pitch the pack 3 points first. Just make sure they’re good and the rest follows suit.
As my last camp the tent was wet I separate it all apart (ground sheet, inner and outer) and put it all back together but must’ve missed a couple of clips. It made it a nightmare to pitch and the back wasn’t great. And when it was pitched I noticed the ground sheet wasn’t attached properly and couldn’t rectify especially as it was windy so left it.
The tent was still solid which was good. But definitely need to pitch the back first then it’s good.
Great to have you on board thank you
@@krisgleave feel free to laugh buddy, it was just one of those situations that went from bad to worse so no point in getting wound up about it but just see the humour. I had the rear pegged out and the vent guy attached to a ground anchor when the tent got sucked up by the freaky weather I was in the middle of and released itself from the rear pegs whilst doing several barrel rolls and thankfully still attached to the ground anchor.
My back garden is obviously way to sheltered for trials 😉
@ExploreAboveAndBelow Sounds extreme haha but lived to tell the tail. Ground anchors and definitely worth having. I have them but never take them. Just picked up 4 titanium ground anchors I’ll be taking in future as smaller and lighter
THIS CHANNEL HAS 2.4K SUBS IT SHOULD BE 2.4M
100^
Aah that’s so nice thank you so much
Excellent mate good to see you both out, keep up the good work. Thanks
Cheers I appreciate that and will make sure I keep getting out now
Good to see you back, looked brill.
Cheers Paul it feels great to be back out in the hills again
Nice camp that!!! Weather looked crazy!!!
It was ace thanks and the weather definitely made it!
Great video. Looked a great camp despite the weather. Gotta say I love the tangerine look.haha
Good to see you both out and about again. Look forward to catching up with you both sometime this year 🤙
Haha thank you. Definitely too much Orange in this one so I’ll have to work on that 😂. Thanks again
Great adventure
Thanks Pierre
What a great adventure mate - love that your back online -keep bashin' em owt - love from Vietnam !
Cheers Bilbo it’s great to be back. Next weeks already ready to go for Monday too. Hope you’re well
Great to see you back fella, keep these videos coming and the channel will grow huge without doubt.
Would be good to see one from the Scottish mountains sometime 👍🏻
Cheers Andrew really appreciate that. Already have next weeks video edited and ready for next Monday and hope to get back out this week.
I’d love to get to Scotland and looking at it at the moment actually. Just chatting with another friend on YT who’s heading up there in a week or so do debating joining him.
Nice camp. Looks like a great adventure.
Cheers Joel. Epic up there in the snow, loved it
Good to see you put again Kris 😊
Keep pushing on mate.
Adge
Thanks Adge. Really needed that camp and feel like I’m back on it now. Did a solo winter snow camp in the Lake District just a few days later too and that’ll be out next Monday.
We all lose our mogo mate and now it’s getting lighter in the evening we all start to feel better, love your honesty mate, but you’re definitely still punching.!!!👍👍
Hahaha. I don’t even mind the dark nights to be fair I do still love a long camp. It’s just the rain which is a frustration and obviously we’ve had the strong winds. Praying for the snow to return
Great video kris and kaye 👌
Aah thanks Christian
I use the same Sph2onge wipes on my tents. My mrs gave me some, game changer
Yes they’re great aren’t they. I have loads at home. On camps I often take two…one pink one blue. Pink for the tent and blue for my body. They’re great to dry yourself after a dip or shower etc too 🤙🏼
@@krisgleave definitely a must have, non essential gear item. 😂. Happy hiking 🥾
Some more new gear 😂 looked a chilly one and that steak look scrummy ❤ great vid guys atb daz
I literally buy new gear weekly 😂. New tent in next weeks video too haha. Steak was so good 😋
hey Kris that was a really fun camp. some of that trail was a little sketchy but not too bad. it was great coming along with you my friend. I will see you on the next adventure.
Dwayne
Thanks Dwayne! Yeah sketchy in places but honestly it was sp good up there. Didn’t show much in the video but felt bad for Kay hurting her leg. Should’ve seen it after…literally black 🫣😂
@krisgleave oh damn that sucks. let her know I'm sorry she got hurt and hopefully she isn't in too much pain
@@dwaynestewart6095 will do, thanks for that Dwayne
GOAT
Haha love that 🤙🏼
Cracking vid, new sub here. If you ever go onto glyders again, there is another slightly easier route down which Kaye would find better that leads into Gwern Gof Isaaf campsite. Where u were walking down at the end, if you looked across to your right that's it. ATB Paul 👍
Thanks for that. Thats actually the path we did take up and down which comes out at the campsite I think it’s the same one just had a look on OS maps. Great to have you onboard as a sub too thank you.
Next time we head there I’ll take her up from the other side near devils kitchen too. Need to get her up Tryfan at some stage as I love that route and of course Bristly Ridge
@krisgleave It looks like u came down at the campsite near Tryfan Gwern Gof Uchaf, there is one further up called Gwern Gof Isaf. Bit of a longer route back to car but not as steep coming down. ATB Paul 👍
@thatunfitbloke Aah brilliant I’ll make a note of that for next time cheers Paul
Brilliant video mate in excellent conditions ! threw this on as soon as I got in from work the abisko just laughed at all those winds !
Haha cheers bud. Yeah it handled the winds great but the pitching…nightmare. Normally fine but as the inner and groundsheet wasn’t clipped together properly (probably from drying at home) I had to mess for ages my hands were freezing.
The inner is great in this tent though compared to the Hilleberg Nallo. It doesn’t really flap inside but that Nallo is awful
yeah ive heard that about the nallo that one seems to look almost as tight as the fly !
haha funny to see you thinking about a soulo here then the following week we knoe what happens !!
@@krisgleave
@@BooniesPeaks Hahaha foreshadowing! 😂😂. I was almost going to edit a little of next weeks video into this one as if I was dreaming about it haha. Decided against it. It stuck with me about the Hille and then spotted one on marketplace so had to buy it. So happy with it though they’re ace aren’t they
@krisgleave it will now become a part of you and you will have to Tey hard to convince yourself to use another tent haha
@BooniesPeaks For the price you want to get the use out of it so I know what you mean. Still have to use my Southern Cross 2 so at some stage I’ll have to take that over the Hille
Have you ever seen outdoor boys? Great outdoor winter camping guy
I think so but I’ll check them out as love watching everyone on YT thank you
@@krisgleave Let me know what you find of them
The pants are rab torque. Have five pairs. Fantastic pants
Yes that’s the pants! They’re are aren’t they. Mine are the ones with the cord waist but I see they do the ones with buttons too and slightly different, which do you have? If you have the one with buttons, do they have a way to tighten too with cord or do they need a belt? I need another pair so debating which to get but I definitely want some I can tighten
All mine have the elastic cord waist. I also have the rab spire pants which have a belt. But it's forever coming loose. So prefer the torque.
@caryhughes2155 Aah got you. The do a Torque Pant which we have and then the Torque Trouser. The latter also just have the button. I’ll avoid those then.
Great video ❤ the attachments for your water bottle and phone, are the part of the rucksack or have you bought them separately? If so what are they TIA ❤
Cheers Peter. Yes the pockets are part of the bag on the Atom Packs which are great. Although companies do make some attachments you can add to other bags if you don’t have any on yours that can do the job.
I do have a couple that add on for an old bag which are the 3F UL Gear Water Bottle Pouches. If you google that and even without that brand you’ll see quite a few cheap options.
@krisgleave thanks bud 👍 look forward to your nxt video and will work my way through you previous video ✌️❤️
@petelomaxdronefootage No worries at all. Next weeks video on Monday is a solo snow blustery camp in a new tent in the Lakes
@petelomaxdronefootage. Awesome thank you
not really a snow storm in the night. or did I miss it😐
Lots of wind and snow. Kinda 🤙🏼
"castle of the gwent"? It's not a big deal, but at least try and make an effort to pronounce this Castell y Gwynt. The Welsh ll isn't the same as the English l (admittedly it's tricky) The y in Gwynt is sounded more like i in English, not like an e - it's nothing to do with the county of Gwent in south Wales. Or just play safe and stick to Castle of the Winds, if you haven't a clue about the Welsh pronunciation.
At the time hiking when I’d hit record I couldn’t remember the the name Castle of the Winds but know it’s called that I’ve been up a few times so resulted to trying to remember what the place was even called at all so agree I butchered it but at the time it’s what came out. On the video I actually recorded me saying Castle in the Winds but as I was ermming at the time I cut that. Still
Wrong but closer
Try and make an effort to pronounce the Castle you said. He isn't Welsh you cheeky man. Admittedly its trick, your words by the way. Rude...
glad the route worked out mate. 👍🏻
a couple of pointers; tryfan - truh-van. glyderau - glidd-uh-rye.
and castell y gwynt is castell of the winds 😂👍🏻
Hahaha love it and thanks for the pointers. I’m telling you….Ill always make the mistake pronouncing some 😂😂
@@krisgleave hard work the names innit 🤣🤣🤣
@@itsmescottp Not for you. Always love how in all your videos you just reel them all off haha.
@@krisgleave 😂👍🏻
