Location advice sought in Snowdonia

[mike.mccusker]

Hi,
A couple of us from our club are planning a trip to Snowdonia. The plan is to get there before the sun rises and be in place ready for some sunrise shots. Can anyone kindly recommend any locations. The three of us are reasonably fit and healthy and don't mind a bit of a night hiking. The only thing is I would like there to be some water in the shot to mirror the sunrise.

Hi,

THE classic sunrise location for Snowdon is Llynnau Mymbyr lakes, between Capel Curig & Snowdon

Here's one from sunrise a couple of years ago. Your main problem is being lucky enough to get suitable conditions for a reflection, it doesn't happen too often

Is that the lake near Plas y Brenin?

That's the one,

If you want actual photos of the sunrise then Y Garn on the Glyderau is a good bet - check out Dave Newboulds website he has some great shots
