Christmas Summit Camp on Pen yr Ole Wen.

In this video, myself and Leon headed up to the summit of Pen yr Ole Wen for a summit camp. Before we headed for Snowdonia, the forecast wasn’t looking the best so we had planned a camp lower down somewhere in the Ogwen Valley. However, we were greeted in Wales with blue skies and the sun shining down on us so we made the decision to head up high onto the summit of Pen yr Ole Wen. The views overlooking the Ogwen Valley and the Glyders were crazy from where we pitched the tents. Leon opted for the KUIU Storm Star with myself being inside the Hilleberg Soulo. The sky was full of colour during sunset as the low cloud slowly filled the Valley. After we had eaten our food, we noticed that the stars were out in full force so this was the perfect opportunity to do some astrophotography. We had our fingers crossed that the inversion stayed around for the morning and surprisingly, it did. But as always, these things don't last forever as we had to pack down and head back down to the car. I hope you enjoyed watching the video just as much as I enjoyed making it. I’ll catch you in the next one.
