Has anyone visited Y Wydfa this summer? I'm going in August and aiming to start from Pen y pass. As I understand it, I can either prebook the car park at Pen Y Pass (for £30!) or park and ride from Nant Peris. What's the likelihood of parking in Nant Peris on a Saturday morning?
No chance! Use the park and ride - it’s a good service, although they will be busy too. Start really early is my advice!
No chance
I was planning on parking in Nant Peris for the park and ride, should I try somewhere else? We're staying in a hotel and breakfast is served at 7am so that limits our starting time.

Still streets ahead of when someone puts 'Snowden'.
Back to the OP, last time I went up I parked in Lanberis opposite the station and took the bus to pen y pass walked up the Miners and then down the Llanberis path back to the car.
Thanks, we're staying in Llanberis the night before so maybe its easiest to get the P&R from there. I did Google Yr Wyddfa but I fear I may have copy/pasted my previous search from the omnibox rather than the result 😐
Sounds like a good plan - then you won’t need to park and can get straight on the bus from the town. I would guess that would work fine - and you’ll already be on the bus before the Nant Peris pile on! Enjoy, it’s fabulous there, walked the Watkin and South Ridge in June

Which is a far nicer route than PyG/Miners. Though I agree with above, if going from PyP use the bus.
I've done most of the routes with Bert - I once managed to get one of the last spots in Pen-Y-Pass car park but according to my phone this was at 8:04am in February. My favourite route is the Rangers path as it's usually the quietest.

Quite a few field overflow car parks in Nant Peris if the P & R car park is full, just up from the Vaynol Arms IIRC

That one requires scrambling? We're going with my mother who, whilst hiking fit, probably isn't up for that.
looked like plenty of space for nant peris earlier this year, i wouldnt bother thinking about Pen y pass. Buses are good there.
Cheers all!
