The start point for either the Pyg Track or the Miners Path is the car park at Pen-y-Pass. There are toilets and a café next to the car park. However, the car park gets very busy and it is more than likely to be full when you arrive. You must therefore be prepared to pull up and jump out with your driver then moving off to somewhere else straight away. There is a drop-off area next to the road specifically for this.
