    I love this run, in particular on a nice summer evening after work. 2.5 hrs up and back down is my best! Never had any negative comments from walkers, only encouragement so it's a shame to see people hating on this video in the comments. A minority seem to have a sense of ownership of the mountains in Snowdonia. I'm sorry but I will continue to shred them on my bikes until I am old and unable. Great vid.

    As a mountain walker I say nice one, this looks great fun! And hat off to you for your courtesy and slowing down when you saw walkers. Maybe I’ll see you on snowdon one day soon!

    It’s not the ride that makes this hardcore. Not by any means. It’s the fact he’s on top a mountain in north Wales with no bloody gloves on! Wow it’s cold up there almost all year round with a breeze. Hats off to u pal👍🏻

    Seeing the grades on this route gave me a new respect for this path that I’ve seen to be distinctly lacking in some forums.
    Still wouldn’t hike it though

    Did you go up that way? Is it doable easily? Looks like some walking is involved.

    • @russelljamescostello
      @russelljamescostello  Před 6 lety

      Yup I went up the same way. There're bits which you can ride up but there's a good chunk that's a push/carry! Fairly doable if you take your time.

    • @philadams9254
      @philadams9254 Před 6 lety

      Are there any alternative routes that allow 100% full riding? Is it feasible to do anything alongside the train line or anything?

    Good on you lad, don't worry about the negative muppets on here, if they weren't moaning about mountain bikers they'd be moaning about something else. I think it's a genetic thing! 😂
