Small camera body size (her hand contains the camera which means it is
either a Pentax or Olympus or she is the daughter of Andre the Giant).
Also, the lens looks familiar with the choice of focus ring rubber. Even
the prism of the SLR looks like either a Pentax or OM-1/2.

I visited Snowdon a couple years ago at the same time John Gardner was
there. We must have passed each other a couple times but never saw each
other. I've got a file full of wonderful shots from that area. One of the
more photogenic areas I've been. Snowdon is more rugged than anything else
in the area, but I find it interesting how history and scenery are so
intertwined in the British Isles.
