Well this day was eventful..! haha 

Our second day started really well.. We'd planned to hike up to Yr Garn for sunrise, which from my weather app looked like it could be a promising morning for some sunrise photography on the mountain!

Id been in contact with Eilier, a fantastic photographer based in  Snowdonia so i was super happy to be able to catch up with him on the mountain too!

We had a short spell of calm winds a gorgeous light, the Fujifilm X-T2 did a superb job and i was able to later recover lots of details from the dark shadows in post.

After spending a short time on the mountain the weather changed  and soon made it clear we weren't welcome at the top! I wasn't happy climbing to the very top in such strong winds! it really was extremely windy! 

So we made our way down the mountain with the hope of driving round snowdonia looking for any potential images and a safe place to camp. 

Although we did get some nice images considering the limitations we really weren't as lucky with the safe locations for the tents...

A huge thanks once again to Cotswold Outdoors Betws for rescuing my tent!
