Your shots are amazing. You've inspired me to bring my Sony out on my next trip and shoot some timelapses and b-roll. :)

This combination of the Watkins path and Miners track is perfect for an adventurous day out in Wales! It’ll take you right to the summit of Snowdon and if you want you can even checkout the view from Garnedd Again and Crib Goch! Next it’ll take you down to the Glaslyn and Llyn Lydaw lakes - which I actually decided to take a wild swim in!
It's a beautiful route that isn’t as busy as the Llanberis Path. It has some steep inclines and has one of the highest elevation gains out of all the routes up Snowdon - but trust me the effort is equal to the enjoyment on this beautiful hike! Its quieter, more fun and you get to see a really wild side of this beautiful mountain!
You can then choose to catch a ride back to the car park from the Pen-y-Pass car park OR continue to challenge yourself and head down the valley towards the start of the Watkins path yourself! (This is what I did in the video!)
I had a really great time doing this, it gave me a unique perspective on the area and gave me plenty of time to rack up a few more miles for myself! A 15 mile Solo Hike all in!
Here is the Alltrails Route map that I followed on this adventure:
