Had 2 roof vents but unfortunately they have been fitted quiet low.

Do I still need a condensate trap? The only location I can think of putting it is marked pink on the photo.

Unfortunately it's an awkward angle going vertical slightly but most of it is a horizontal run.

No trap needed.

But do put some insulation over the duct from the fan

Would it just be worth getting insulated ducting?

But would water not sit at the elbow??

This is the second vent.

With powerful fans like you have don’t waste your money on insulated ducting, just put insulation over the ducting

I checked ours a couple of weeks ago - the last time I checked them was a few years ago. A thin layer of insulation does the trick
