United Kingdom Glyder Fawr, Snowdonia
This spot offers the most spectacular rock formations and views over the Snowdonia Massif. It is a fair walk up to the top and not to be tackled by anyone with any health issues. Two routes Devils Kitchen or Y Gribin take you to the Glyders. Once up there be prepared for exposure, have gloves a hat and plenty of equipment for if the weather changes, if the weather does change though, embrace the moody conditions from up here and grab something truly unique.
Photography Tips
There are many compositions around this area, just be sure to be prepared for all eventualities with the weather. Sun sets to the right hand (north west) side as you look over to the Snowdonia summit. This can cast some wonderful light onto the tops though. At sunrise the mountains catch the light first thing, and unveil the landscape before you!!
