Well done Joss.As always superb.The cliffs by the side of you,was where the Legend Joe Brown did a lot of new routes 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

And not a soul climbing on it which is sad. Glad you enjoyed it up at Cloggy.

[@outdoorslifestyle2900]

Well mate that made for some fantastic viewing really stirred up emotion and certainly inspires me to get out. Loved the drone shots too 👌. Great to see you nack out and looking well my friend, take care and look forward to the next one. ATB Steve

Great to see you back there Joss. When you unzipped the tent in the morning and we saw the view........ Thank you for taking us along, greets from fairly tropical (but cloudy🙄) Aberystwyth. Dave G.

It takes me back to A level Geography field trip in the 19_0s, when us Sixth Fomers camped in the late October half-term week by that very lake (Llyn Du'r Arddu) about three-quarters of the way up Yr Wyddfa. It rained the whole time and there was no sleep that night, all dressed in our wet clothes in our sleeping bags all night and some very unkind banter directed at myself for having been slow on the walk up. The lake rose in the night so some of their tents were in water by morning - serves them right. I surged ahead on the walk down, glad to be returning. We had already been up Twll Du and in the Carneddau earlier in the week. I was refused the last trip across Crib Goch, thank God. Been back quite a few times and loved it. Schooldays are the worst of your life.

[@jossthomas123456]

Thanks for sharing your adventure Phyllis! The mountains can be a sobering place. A very special place. All the best, Joss

[@AndyMorfett]

Excellent video Joss. Really great to see you back out in the area you love so much. Liking the drone footage and the music compliments the aerial views. Stunning location ideal to be your first back after lockdown. Like the transition too 🙂😎 nice touch! ATB Andy

I've booked some time off to come to North Wales for a few days will be looking to do some wild camps and set my sights on some scrambling in the day. Let's hope the weather is reasonable, you hit the jackpot on this one.

Hi Joss I'm heading down to Snowdon on the first week in July, I'll be camping in that spot on my first night , do I need to use my filter for the water there or is OK to drink ...cheers Wayne... Ps love your vids , got a few planned camping spots around there for a few days ... got the MSR Elixir 2 V2 I have others well another 4 🙈🙈 but I'll be trying this one out ... keep on posting your vids .. hopefully I'll get my KZbin channel showing more vids soon 👍😉🍺🍺

[@jossthomas123456]

Yes definitely use a filter. Its a chance you take but Ive seen lots of dead animals lying in watercourses.The strangest one was a wild pony that had died with its decomposing head lying in a stream.

[@DaveOutdoors]

Great video joss, captured really well. Seems like you've got the hang of that drone down to a 'tee' Could tell you were happy to be out 👍 ATB Dave 👍

[@BurtonOutdoors]

You got a new toy Joss? Cool drone shots, love it. Hard man going for a dip, way too cold for me. What boots you rocking? Salomon GTX? Stunning scenery, I need to make the effort to come to Wales. It's funny looking at your bright green cup... I lost mine for 5 mins on the beach the other day, put it down by the waves... lost it because it's black!! Like tbe other 3 black ones I've lost!! Should have got the green ones. Cool viddy, so pleased you had great weather too.

[@jossthomas123456]

Burton Outdoors thanks Lee, the water was fkin freezing as you can imagine but the glowing feeling you get after is something else! Yes have had a drone since April but not a lot of time to fly it yet.. still learning👍 Yup mate Salomon GTX. Im on my second pair in 10 years. Good boot though the build has changed a little over the years. Not the only boot I wear but a good light boot if the fit is right. I love those mugs.. far nicer feel on the mouth than Titanium👍 thanks for watching mate. Would be great to show you around Snowdonia👍

[@northernmonkeydan1940]

Beautiful stuff, Joss. Great drone shots as well. Slightly bizarrely, I've never been up Snowdon from that side - seems really quiet where you are considering how close it is to the tourist track. Nobody at the lake either? Love it mate. All the best, Dan 👍🏻

[@jossthomas123456]

Thanks Dan.. Ive been up Snowdon quite a lot of times over the years and have always avoided the Llanberis path and this was the first time Ive walked it. It was nice to get away from the hordes on the path and get into the quiet seclusion of the cwm below. Its classed as the easiest way up so the tourist path is full of people who, at that point are so knackered that they wouldnt dream of dropping down lower, to a lake! Its a great spot.and the cliff is a classic rock climbing venue. Atb buddy and thanks for watching, Joss

[@northernmonkeydan1940]

@@jossthomas123456 Yeah, Snowdon is incredible - but the thousands of people on it are a real downside. Last time I went up camped at the old quarry at the bottom of Allt Maenderyn the night before and set off up at 4.30am - deserted then! 😄👍🏻

[@jossthomas123456]

Northern Monkey Dan nice one. Ive camped near there too. Just at the Bwlch near the lake. Had a very quiet night with a thunderstorm raging, 30 miles away, was really cool👍

[@BenHolbrookWeddingFilms]

Amazing Joss, I'm SO chuffed to have found your channel! Exactly what I needed. I'm trying to plan a wild camping couple of nights in Snowdon but having a nightmare trying to work out where to leave my car... All the official carparks have a 24 hour limit, which isn't even useable if you're doing a single overnighter. Any tips? Thanks Joss! Looking forward to binging all your videos!

[@jossthomas123456]

It depends which way you are going up but you might be able to get away with an overnight car park below the Watkin Path, (very scenic) in Rhyd Ddu and on certain parts of Llanberis High St- thats where I parjed when I filmed this (could also get the Sherpa Bus up to Pen y Pass) Hope that helps and thanks for watching! Much appreciated
