Snowdon - Bikepacking up for a sunrise summit - Welsh Adventure Day 3

Film by Barry Godin - Snowdon - Bikepacking up for a sunrise summit - Welsh Adventure Day 3
After riding down Cadair Idris that morning, we set off to ride up and camp at the base of Snowdon that night. Andy refusing to try and ride down Snowdon with a tent on his bike took a bin bag to sleep in, and after a restless short sleep we woke at 4.30am. The only reason Andy got me out of my tent was by saying the summit was clear and the stars were out. It was a crisp still beautiful atmosphere, and felt so special to start hike a bike up the rangers path, using just the moonlight to guide our way.
We were chasing the sun rising, but as we started to get closer to the top the clouds flowed in. But still dreaming of that sunrise we pushed on. After the railway line which is a landmark to know you are getting close, as we crested the ridge the clouds parted for a moment and our jaws just dropped to the ground.
This was an once in a life time experience as we spent 45min on an empty summit and watched the clouds ebb and flow around us.
But a little silly to stand there that long, we lost completely our core temperature and with frozen figures tried to start riding down, but it took along time for us to warm up. But for me it was more I was still awe struck from the views and experience I had just encountered.
We nibbled our way down the extreme Rhyd Ddu path along its knife edge ridge, but the bottom half was an incredible rock fest with just reward clearing small sections.
This finished up our Wales adventure, and what a way to end it! Thank you Wales and we will defiantly be back :-)
