Snowdon Bivvy

Post by summittoppler »

During the very hot Thursday this week I decided that it would be a good idea to bivvy on the summit of Snowdon that evening and get both the sunset and sunrise before going back to work Friday.

It turned out that I made a bloody good decision to do it. This trip was 12 hours from leaving the house to getting back.

Some pics:

And what better way of starting a Friday than descending 3500feet!

Is that a camera clamped to the seat post facing forward?

Thanks for the positive feedback folks.

Ootini - yes, a Garmin Virb attached to the seat post. The wide angled lens works well I think.

Do you have a link to some footage so I could take a look? Doesn't the top tube obscure every shot? Or am I missing they way it's angled etc?

*EDIT* Or I could just click on the link in your signature....... Ta
