Climbing Snowdon via Pyg and Miners Paths | Featuring Sarah Williams, Tough Girl Challenges

[@steventhomas231]

Loved that as ever. Your walk videos have become like my TV programmes. I said to my wife the next Abbie Barnes episode is on we'll watch it tonight😊

[@ranbirsingh7666]

What a lovely Video , wasn’t sure if I was watching a Vlog OR one of those Julia Bradbury walking programmes, your presentation and commentary was excellent 👌. Looking to do Snowdon next couple weeks as a training session for Yorkshire 3 Peaks .

[@elashfoxart]

Lovely to watch one of your films again Thankyou so much for a great watch 😁🤩

[@paulplace4721]

Hearing the start of that music is always a good feeling. You know you're in for a great and informative video, stunning views and a huge smile😁 Following you on insta during your trip, i know you were up and down with in yourself, it was hard to see, knowing you battle like that most of the time...your videos are amazing to watch and i hope you get as much enjoyment as we do watching. Great to see you back, look forward to the next one. Peace be with ya🤘🏞

Way back when my father was in his youth he would climb up Snowden around Easter and slide back down the railway sitting on a block of ice. The ice would go on the centre channel and a foot on each rail. He and his friends would slide untill the ice fell apart. Lovely video of your climb up the mountain, it's always nice to see Snowdonia :)

🤣

[@searchingforwonder]

I have to admit I find it impossible now not to high five my van when I get back from a trail. Loved the video as always, thanks.

[@RosaLichtenstein01]

Great video, Abbie! Thanks for posting. Climbed this amazing mountain in 1993. The paths were nowhere near as clear back then! The area around the summit is unrecognisable, too. Looking forward to your Crib Goch video. :-)

[@thetrailhunter4469]

Boom! So good. Looking forward to the Red Comb! Love a bit of the Crib.

[@elisekennewell2205]

Enjoyable video of your climb, cheerful, delightful and as always informative and inspiring. Thanks Abbie for all you do for promoting getting outdoors for physical and mental health!! 👍👍

[@toughgirlchallenges]

SO good!!! What a great film - loved our walk and loved watching this back - so many great memories!!!!! xxx

[@crazypoppy1]

Fantastic weather. I've been up there three times and never been able to see more than 100 meters. Can't wait for the Crib Goch video. Did it in winter in the snow. beautiful and quiet.

[@michellefairbrother3070]

Abbie you are an absolute diamond! I'm watching your Crib Goch video at the moment. I've climbed many peaks including a lot of the Black Cuillin, this ridge is on a par! I can't do them anymore due to losing sight in one eye, so no depth perception now, it makes me sad but you are now my eyes for these kind of traverses, still makes my palms sweat and my heart beat faster, bless you, go girl!! Michelle.

[@timhopkins9659]

Great to have you back. This was the very route I used many years ago to take my two young sons up their first mountain! Since then we have hit a few hundred tops! including Crib Goch. I now show your walks to my Grand Children who get what you are doing. Please keep up the walking.

[@meredithaprobert]

Always love your thoughtful, appreciative treatment of the places you visit. Thank you for another amazing and inspiring video!

[@grahambarker8129]

the caged rocks are whats known as gabion cages, they are used as retaining walls, and are still used in construction, quick and cheap method, great vid again 👍

[@Luvr-wv9hv]

Abbie, Thanks for taking us along with you and Sarah on a beautiful walk!

[@hikermikem8]

😁👍 Loved the video and brought back memory's for me also. Good to see you both had a clear day with fantastic views along the way as well as on the summit. It really is a special place so for so many reasons. Can't wait to see the Crib Goch video as that is a truly good hike and scramble 🏞️🥾🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@mattropolis76]

You are so inspirational. Did Snowdon for the first time on Saturday after watching this video last week. Thank you for your content and stay safe.

[@Karen-dq8nw]

Once Covid is behind us - consider hiking the Chilkoot Trail in Alaska and Canada. It is short and not very challenging for you probably, but if you like cultural archaeology, it is rich! And beautiful mix of habitats and climates, vegetation etc. Lots of variety. Thanks for your video - it made my Monday!

[@nicwp7320]

Great Video Abbie love seeing your videos and your Cumbria way walk with your mum inspired me to do the Cumbria way next year in my old age

[@ElaineMurphy66]

Brilliant video. This made me feel quite homesick. I will head there in the Summer of 2022, and, all being well - head up to the top of Snowdon on the train with my Mum. We have both had joint replacements so walking and climbing is not an option. However, the fact Snowdon is accessible via Snowdonia Mountain Railway is a gift. ❤ Thank you for sharing your experiences, looking forward to your Crib Goch (Red Ridge) video. Good luck.

[@MeTheRob]

Nostalgia for me. Thanks. I climbed Snowdon a lot in the 1990s, but have only ever used the Miners' and Pyg tracks on descents, so that was interesting. It was a lot wilder then, with the paths much less built up. My favourite ascent was the Watkin Path, and the complete horseshoe is quite a walk. Looking forward to the Crib Goch video.

[@dianeiles6348]

Great video ladies, thank you! Did this myself Yesterday, fabulous!

[@suehillman7189]

Awesome Abbie, great video. Looking forward to 2022 and already planning some new adventures and you have spurred me on. I did same hike a couple of years ago, but opposite way round and sadly weather turned bad, so didn’t have the fab views you had, but I’ll be back. Thanks Abbie, great to have a walking video again from you, they are my favourite. But I did enjoy Abbie bikes Britain, but I’m more a Walker at heart. Look forward to seeing Crib Goch❤️🤪

[@ianrobinson4970]

Fantastic to see you out and about again Abbie x

[@hamwhacker]

Love your GoPro shots at the top showing the amazing view. Looks like Everest base camp with all the activity (other climbers) arriving. Felt like a really special climb ❤️ Your videos are always a relaxed masterpiece. Easy on the eye and the ears, we enjoy being with you on your journeys!

[@mikowineman]

Thanks for this Abbie, I ran the Snowdon Trail marathon a few years ago. Tough! The killer second half was running up Pyg and down Llanberis paths to finish. Remember that flat slab of rock on Pyg- it was a waterfall and the rain was horizontal! We only knew we at the top when a Marshall said run downhill now. Thanks for glorious views and commentary on what I missed! Merry Christmas, keep safe, Stay Wild!

[@lespeacock591]

Lovely Video Abbie. I'm glad that you & Sarah had such a nice day for Yr Wyddfa. Like everyone else has said that opening music always puts a smile on my face. Happy Christmas Abbie-to you and Anna and all thos ewho you hold close. Have a lovely time Girl :-)

[@wjoest6694]

As you can see on my profile picture I love to hike Mount Snowdon. Five times so far on five different tracks just leaving out the Rangers Path so far. Great video which reminds me of good times hiking up Snowdon with my wife and my kids. You are great Abbie!

[@renerauscher3575]

We need more of that!

[@johnalden5821]

From the other side of the Atlantic, I can report large crowds at many of the hiking spots here, as well. This seems to be an effect of the pandemic, maybe, or just a groundswell of people realizing that these places of natural beauty are here -- and no time to waste. We just need to make sure that folks are prepared and knowledgeable about how to enjoy the outdoors safely and respectfully. It's your mission, Abbie. It's coming true.

[@brianconnor1810]

Your best vid for a while, lighthearted but informative👍👍

[@dg4846]

Oh, finally here is Snowdon! I climbed a couple of times and this year again, walking Snowdonia Way (with bigger pack, it was tough). Snowdonia - a land of beauty :) Cheers

[@diannehoworth7658]

Hi Abbie.. haven’t watched your videos for months now as l was planning my walk on the SWCP and the Cotswold way , l had a fun adventurous time on both walks but gee l wish l had a positive, lively, fun person like Sarah to have joined me, you are brilliant .btw. I took inspiration from all your past videos to get me through those tough sections on the SWCP l was thinking out loud…. ‘Abbie would push on ,keep going girl’ . Thanks Abbie love your stuff your down to earth character and zest for a forfilled life. Dianne. Australia

[@WanderFreeWithBarb]

As always a fabulous video! Good to see you climbing again, even if this was an event in the past. Hopefully you manage another climbing adventure soon.

[@robertwright4651]

Great video guys spectacular views

[@_andy_gibb_]

That was great! And nice to hear that everyone was respectful of the environment. How nice to find the purple saxifrage - I found some for the first time this year in BC. Lovely little flower! I hiked Snowdon on a school trip in the 80s and it was my introduction to real mountain hiking. I'm pretty sure we sheltered from a snowstorm in some of those ruins along the Miners' Track :-) Looking forward to your Crib Goch adventure!

[@MrUntouchable69]

Climed it via Crib Goch last summer. Planning to do it again, but this time, nice and easy route to the summit!

[@maheshchauhan9290]

Hi both, did these same routes yesterday 17th Aug 2022. It was nice watching your video and the history. You both seem like down to earth and that came across in the footage. 👍🙏

[@joannemorrall5175]

Hi Abbie, another great vlog. Well how naive am i?? honestly i knew Snowdon was a tourist stop but i was quite surprised to see so many people waiting in line to reach the top. Why i thought it would be quiet i dont know. Also i found it surprising to see so many people just walking up the mountain in just shorts and pumps. This has certainly opened my eyes. God bless Snowdon having us lot walking all over her. Looking forward to the next vlog. Stay safe and well.

[@geoffminter2927]

Great video Abby, I'm planning a trip to Snowdon early next year

[@paulfogarty7724]

Thanks for that Abby. I have a feeling if it was'nt paved and was let go back to natural instead, half those people might not be there ( though I could be wrong - look at Everest ! ) There's a beautifull 6ml walk here that runs parallel with the railway from Bray to Greystones. Back in the 1980's it was all but choked up with briars...but a great " jungle " adventure if the mood took you. Now it's well maintained and paved. I avoid it at the weekends as it is now so crowded like a city main st.

[@Haze1434]

Ah nice, a classic for me! Must have walked up Snowdon a good 10 times. Will be awesome to do it next time and think 'Oh, Abbie was there!' I'd highly recommend Tryfan, too, just next to Snowdon. An interesting and fun climb with great views.

[@Mark.Woodyatt]

It’s great to sse you in Snowdonia, I’d love to see you explore more in this region. There is so many types & varied abilty hikes packed in to a small space. Go Nuts Abbie, bring your talents to more of what Snowdonia has to explore. (Wild camps too???)

[@riccioxborrow1600]

Hi all have a nice time

[@meapantz1983]

U guys are so mellow. I've never done a Scrambble walk like that before and I really struggled. But I did it

[@michellegray4516]

Abbie, you are truly awesome! We have just climbed Snowdon and still ache haha ...we typed in climbing Snowdon and found your videos watching these and really connecting with you as you discuss your mental health and challenge yourself ...keep going you're bloody amazing! X

[@riccioxborrow1600]

We have our own caravan now in great yarmouth. California cliffs.

[@Ratsotone]

You have a new subscriber here, and just have to say that you have a real flair for doing this kind of thing, not everybody is capable of filming a hike up a mountain and make it interesting and entertaining, well done. But I introduced myself to your videos when I watched you doing Roseberry Topping, which is right on my doorstep.

[@burrianaUK]

Enjoyed this thanks Abbie. I’m doing the Nat 3 Peaks in summer and trying to work out the best way up and down… running it if I have enough energy left 🙂

[@maxx5111]

I did Pyg (ascent) and Miner's (descent) track last autumn. It was abominably foggy from the trailhead to summit. Didn't see anything but white. Happy to see the trail from your video (and that it actually looks nice). 😂

[@shaunsprogress]

Nice walk.. Would be good to see some other mountains from the areas, Snowdon has been covered quite a bit.

[@beccahart2087]

Another great vlog Abbie, loved it, when’s the next one out of you going up Crib Gogh? Can’t wait… x

[@TerryMcGearyScotland]

Well done. We're doing it in 3 days time! Maybe livestream it if there's a decent signal up up there? My group will be near the railway.

[@FrappaJacks]

Great Vid Highly Entertaining 🎉

[@stephenreie9847]

Great video again guys, keep up the good work 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@frederickbowdler8169]

great camera work inspiring climbing

[@stevecoombs8409]

Pleased to see you climb a mountain using a OS map ,so many ppl don't ,your friend would struggle doing Crib Goch .Great vlog ......bit busy at the top as usual

[@f1pitpass]

Super inspiring video Abbie! Could you point me to a video where you explain your camera kit please.

[@Yorkshirewild]

Just discovered you Abbie and so happy I have, superb set of Vlogs, so where do I start? At the beginning I think. Looking forwards to looking back through your videos. Take care.

[@daveculshaw5407]

Have you ever tried the 3 peaks 24 hour challenge. I did it with work colleagues in 2010 Early Sept just as the weather is still ok but not stable..... we had 28 mins remaining time.. great videos

[@Bagpuss88]

BBC need to give you your own show.Stumbled across your vlogs,love them, and so informative! Also,love your sunglasses. Which ones are they please?.😊

[@AbbieBarnesWILD]

Haha I would love that! The sunglasses are by Breo :)

[@Bagpuss88]

@AbbieBarnesWILD Thank you,we followed the Pyg path ,absolutely loved it!, and your vlog helped.😀

[@HermioneGranger-eh3sk]

Always enjoy footage of Snowdon, but Yr Wyddfa doesn't mean snow capped mountain. Much too busy for me up there these days so I'm glad to have enjoyed it over the years before the hoards started flocking up there.

[@fujifatbike5793]

"Yomp"...i like that word 😎!

[@juristimma5366]

which camera did you use for filming.....its amazing quality of video

[@Cynowyn]

Hi which path is the nicest to go up the mountain with kids and a dog?

[@AbbieBarnesWILD]

I'd take either the Miners route if you are okay on rocky steeper terrain, or the main Llanberis path if you need a clearer route and easier under foot

[@liale2624]

What sort of time did you get there for to climb? Great video . I want to do this route! X

[@AbbieBarnesWILD]

8am I think!

[@peterallen2904]

Do you really need walking poles along the miner’s track?

[@BritishRacingGreen]

Your videos are great. If you like hot and humid. You might want to try hiking in Hong Kong. There are some great views.

[@АндрейКорсун-м1к]

Tell me please camping near this places, thanks

[@vanhelsing9342]

Great video, but where is Anna?

[@trevorphillips8727]

Too many people for me but looks lovely

[@peterallen2904]

I haven’t claimed Snowden via the pug track for more than 25 years. It seems so sa£ that so many ‘tourist climbers’ there are now. It is being spoiled, sadly.

[@daphned67]

Can't believe what some other people are wearing?! Shorts and t-shirt 😵‍💫. Even in June it was 5C there.

[@riccioxborrow1600]

Hi Abbie and Anna how you

[@riccioxborrow1600]

Hi

[@Abangsaury]

Salam hadir kawan

[@riccioxborrow1600]

[@spleeeen4it]

Preferred your videos from a few years back when there was a little less arrogance about you. Still enjoyable, but your personality seems different.
