Hi folks.

 Whenever I do overnighters I tend to stick the car at the base of Tryfan & pitch a 'dummy' tent in the campsite.

 Where do you overnight park when your wild camping? Particulalry for the Carneed range and the Ogwen Valley area.

 Thanks!

I just leave the car at one of the carparks near the OS gridrefs below and have never had problems -

SH677717

SH721717

SH731663

SH663603

SH665559 (Conwy county side)

with smaller parking possibilities at SH741638, near SH743692 and at SH628567.

Thanks Ron - you're a legend (no pun intended) - that's really helpful!

This thread is vaguely relevent . Note the campsite owners are trying to discourage wild camping - the Isaf chap is firmly agin it. Leaving an empty tent sounds good, but always worth letting neighbours know what your doing of course.

I've never left my car in those lay-bys or car parks overnight. I might try it in future as a few OMers say they think it secure enough - I'll not take the Rolls on my next trip though.

Your say
