    I love the pyg track. Your film brought back great memories. I’ve climbed it twice using my crutches as I’m disabled. It took me a while but got there in the end. Great film thank you.

    Brilliant memories for the 2 of you and beautiful music as well. I'll be 64 next February and this is on my bucket list along with a tour of the Scottish highlands in my R50 53 reg Mini Cooper. Think I will be best to take the easiest route. Best wishes 2U both.

    Great video! I did this route yesterday for the second time, my first time 2 years ago the weather was poor so I was really looking forward to returning. Had a great day, was up and down in just under 5 hours, 3 hours up, 1 hour 50 down. Serious leg work out.

    Love the video. It's our first time doing Snowdon and out of all the routes I have scoped out PYG and Miners looks good whereby our dog will be fine too. Llanberis has been recommended but it's long and overcrowded. Can I ask, as you get closer to the summit where you stopped filming is it hard to climb i.e. a sharp ridge or is it gradual like the rest of the route? Thanks

    • @JonnyLeeguitarist
      @JonnyLeeguitarist  Před rokem +1

      The end is an intense climb , before the final summit steps it’s a steep walk and a lot of people give up there . If you’re fit and up for a leg burner you’ll be fine . I’ve seen people who are shall we say “ not fit “ get to the top .

I don't fancy Llanberis as it's the most crowded and visually not as pleasing. PYG and Miners looks class. Just praying for clear weather next week.
