Excellent video footage mate! You know, on the twisty bits, with a bit of mist and rain thrown in, you could almost be in Nepal heading for Simla Hill-station on the Darjeeling Line, its just so evocative of the hill railways especially in the forrest loops.
Hoping.... praying.... to make it to the Super Power W/end Sept 10 & 11. Heading there on 16th to find best photo shoot locations. Im handicapped with only x12 zoom so cant emulate those panorama shots.
I only have x12 as well, however it depends what the 12 times is, I think mine is around 43mm, resulting in a range 42.9-514.8 mm. However I also have wide angle lens gives me around 28-300mm. Note: If you are thinking on getting a wide angle be carefull to get one that works across the full range, the cheep ones don't.
Locations: Rhos Tryfan Road, near Plas Bodaden, footpath across field; Salem (with river); from forrestry above Cwellyn, not seen that before; Castell Cidwm, Snowdon Ranger, Snowdon Ranger towards Rhyd Ddu (maybe from forestry?), Glan yr afon (ditto), approach to Rhyd Ddu, from road.

Easy one first, Missed GWSR, had planned to go but I wonted to catch the K1 on NYMR before it left to go north again. I remember all the locations but not by name, would have to look them up.
Wonderful. No big ad. either, thoroughly enjoyed it. Some nice long pans, and did you have to climb for some shots? They seemed quite high for a car.
Ken,

Bringing back this line is an all round totally awesome achievement! Is there anything volunteers can't do after this?

Maintain it, run it, finish it off.

As always - superb video.
Some questions for you:
- What are the locations in the video?
- Did you visit the GWSR for their gala?

The high shot I found a footpath that climbed a mountain behind a tree line to give me the shot, long climb in very hot weather but worth it.
