This is my back yard now, I retired to the Park 2 years ago from South Wales, I feel claustrophobic in a city now and despite an illness which nearly killed me last year and has left me slightly disabled, I’m staying, all my rehabilitation is here in the mountains. Great vid as always Simon, great to see you here on the other side of the country.

Take care my friend .

Such a great time and a great video mate. Sorry it took me a day to check it out, I'm just finding time as I'm waiting on my flight out of France and heading back to Canada. Hanging out with you and seeing this part of the UK, the hike, the camp... all of it was a highlight of the year for me. Thanks again and whenever you want to jump across the pond to Canada or Mexico just let me know and we can continue the adventure.

Love the fact you finish the film off properly at the end. For some reason so important to feel a part of the adventure. Also the cooking and tea making. Honestly feel like I am there without the hard slog 😂❤

If I live in England I probably would camp every weekend no natural big predators You are truly blessed

Simon, thank you for showing the mountains of Wales. My family were farmers who came to the US from Wales. Seeing Wales, the soft, beautiful, grassy hills, tugs on heartstrings I wasn’t aware I had. I don’t deserve any profound tie to that land or people other than the swell of emotions that hit me, thinking that my kin may have started there. Some the dirt of those hills may be mixed with the dirt that makes me. The need I have to farm, to be a steward of the land, may have some start, some DNA, in that land. Thanks for letting me see some of Wales. Jeff Albritton

Boy-O-Boy, that would be the trip to remember. I might get to enjoy some time with an outdoorsy friend, maybe see something uniquely British or Welsh. Time is too precious to miss out on friendship. Jeff

Simon, watched your cold, windy mountain (s) scramble. Am watching poolside 103 F in the shade of an umbrella.(Later on this afternoon temp will top out at 111F.) I so appreciate your many outings all over your homeland, as there isn't a chance that at 75 during pandemic times that I'll get there now. Thanks for all your hard camera work that allows me to feel as though l'm tagging along with you.

How do you always know just when I am so stressed that I need to see a new "Simon, a bloke in the woods" video? 😆 Always calms my nerves to watch them! Great work, take care out there! Thanks for posting!

I giggle about the altitude out there because I'm in Colorado, but you are definitely hiking more than I am. Wales is a bucket list trip.

First comment?! Still watching but so glad this popped up; I needed the escape! ….. Just finished and it did not disappoint. What a Fantastic trip.

Awesome guys!! Simon I'm gobsmacked you taking us with you all, you must do the walk twice! Great views and fantastic weather to boot. Thanks for taking us along.!

A wild walk in Eryri! Love it. Definitely not as flat as East Anglia so I can understand your fitness issues. And, as you have witnessed, it doesn't always rain in Wales, even on the mountains! Your pronunciation of Welsh names was ok for a non- Welsh speaker :-)

Great video as always Simon, you always put 100% into everything you do, I certainly couldn't do those climbs but thankyou for taking me along 😊👍.

Hello Simon it's been a long time since I talked with you, just to let you know I am still here though. I wanted to say thank you for bringing me such an incredible video of whales and bringing me along. I also want to wish you and your family many blessings as always.

Your telephoto lens is amazing! The shot you took long distance from the wind towers was great. Love the videos.

Thank you , Simon . 🐺 Loupis Canis .

I have camped in the same place as you did on my many occasions when I climbed on Triffan and the surrounding areas. It's been my go to place since I moved to Wales. Great video, I enjoyed it very much, thank you for doing it.

Simon as a former resident of Snowdonia, you brought back memories. The mountain Pen Llithig y Wrach is the first slope from which I jumped with a paraglider attached! also the back of Carnedd Dafydd is where a few mates and I lugged a snowboard and old skis to play 20 years ago. Just above the Mountain Rescue HQ! I don't glide anymore, but I do ski here in the Alps where I now live, also mountain bike.

OMG. I am floored. So beautiful...thank you!!

All places that you go camping in are so beautiful. What a freedom of hiking! Enjoy the view, enjoy life, and enjoy all that nature has to offer. Super cool!

Mountain views in the northeast US and New York state or the wonderful mountainous areas of Wales in the UK, this is a difficult decision, who may claim "best view?" Personal prejudices put aside, we enjoy all of creation. Simon, you did it again Man, great video of your trip.

What a lovely video. Very peaceful. Some great footage of the area. Medicine for the mind and soul. Stay safe 🔥

Beautiful scenery there. Thanks for sharing, Simon!

What a great adventure Simon and Jason 👍

A great trip. Y'all had to have enjoyed yourselves. Beautiful scenery and especially nice that you made the day without rain. Love your adventures and trips, keep up the great work and I'll be eagerly awaiting the next adventure. 👍👍

Beautiful hike guys, epic scenery!

Looks like a great route with lots of variety! Weather looks a lot better up Carnedd Lleweyn than the last time I went up there. lovely little spot to camp at too. Great video guys, thanks for sharing!!

Collaborations are awesome

this area of Wales is really spectacular.

Most of Wales is spectacular. Everybody goes to north Wales and that's great, but Mid Wales gets overlooked, but it is some of the best countryside in Britain.

What beautiful country Wales is. So rugged. Good to see Jason along with you. I’ve enjoyed so many of his videos. Greetings from Ontario Canada

Beautiful country. Cosy looking camp 🏕. As a New Zealander I feel I must comment on the quality of the Sheep 🐑 country! ( looks superb for farming!). Thanks for sharing Dave

Wow, stunning scenery. I can't believe you guys hiked all that in two days! Thanks for the video!

New subscriber and recently moved to Norfolk. Love your videos and especially the Norfolk Coast path ones. Just finished the Scotland row. Great stuff 👏

Superb video Simon 👏✊… Jason looked so chilled throughout 😁… both a couple of Supermen I say 🙏👍👍

Wow that shot of the windmills was crazy it almost looked like they were just floating in nothingness.. those hills get ya.. I'm telling ya get some hiking poles it will save your knees (especially on the descents) :) Great hike, camp and vid!

Awesome video! We always look forward to your videos, I waited all day for my husband to get home so we could watch it together. I will say I was quite shocked to see a hatless Simon for a few moments 😲. Thank you for always going the extra mile to get incredible footage, I know we all as viewers appreciate the extra work you do for us to feel like we're along for the journey. 💙

Amazing video! From 7:20 through 8:30...I had VERTIGO just watching. Love your work, Simon. Thank you from Cincinnati, Ohio, USA!!

Simply beautiful.

Simon (dyn yn y coed! - a bloke in the woods) I am so happy to watch you in my home of North Wales! I live in Conwy so I walk the Carnedd often, the views are spectacular and it is so much quieter than Snowdon. There is a great bothy on the Carnedd. Thank you for showing my home is all it's splendour! Next time you venture to North Wales you should bring your canoe and go to Rhoscolyn on Anglesey. The cathedral sea cave is amazing! Great pronunciation of the hill names!! I loved this video! Da Iawn (well done)!!!

Diolch Rebecca! I know that bothy - it was a welcome refuge from some pretty awful weather a few years ago! 💦💦💦 Thank you for the heads up on Rhoscolyn - I’ll check it out with a view for a paddle trip in the future! 😁

Superb video Simon. Ginge and I stayed in the same campsite and walked a similar route back in 2004. Brought back great memories.

Talk about views!! Wow!! I bet you felt that in the morning...

Breath taking views, thanks for sharing. 👍✌🥃

Very different from your regular videos Simon. Thoroughly enjoyed the magnificent scenery and hearing you puff up some of those tough inclines. Great watch 👍🏼

Wow - what a hike! And it looks like you were well matched too - that's always nice. Beautiful country for certain and most excellent photography! Yes indeed, those beers were well earned. Thanks for taking us along - it's a massive pain, I know but wow! I'm thrilled to have enjoyed it vicariously through you. That Rover of yours really does take a beating. Hopefully the smoke from the tailpipe wasn't anything serious and the gear box repair won't keep you from your upcoming trip to Sweden!!!!

Oh dear, forgot to say am watching from Sonoran Desert in Arizona, USA.

1st for the Badger! Looking forward to this one Simon

Absolutely superb ,I haven't been there for years ,I felt I was walking there with you both.

Nice! Very Nice! Looks like you both had a GREAT time of it. Hope you were able to fix the truck. Where to next? You are so lucky because you get to travel all over and hike, canoe, camp, eat in very awesome places. Do you even realize just how lucky you are Simon? Keep going Man!! Rock On!

Can’t believe you have hiked 4 mountains with a pair of Haix boots. I use them in the military around generators and other heavy equipment for protection. They are so heavy and awkward. Well done.

Love your videos mate, keep them coming.

Another great video, you never cease to inspire me to get out in nature. I’ve been enjoying your content for some time now, being one of my go to guys for bushcraft/wild camping/hiking videos. Fantastic scenery. But probably my biggest take away, is the brief glimpse of you without a hat! 😁

The flys are always a welcome addition to the rations

What a treat this was, thoroughly enjoyed this.

I love the fire shots Simon, keep them coming:)

Beautiful views.

Simon a bloke in the mountains! Not a tree in sight! Great video as always. Such an effort - up, down and up again! Well done and Thank you for for taking the us with you!

Nice trip there Simon. Thanks to you both for sharing it. Be well. ;)

Another great vid Simon

Awesome scenery I`ll be going there for a holiday with the family, thanks Simon for amazing 👍

Great video Simon. Loved those mountains. What a gruelling walk and all those walk past clips adding to the slog. Atb

Like I said what an amazing claim you guys did. It’s been enough climbing on grassy terrain but walking up and down all those rocks to do a number on your legs and your feet. Amazing

Beautiful views. Thanks for taking us along.

Awesome photography and video.

Lovely video Simon, thoroughly enjoyed it, must get up to North Wales again soon! Thanks

Thanks for a great two part video that looked like a beautiful place Simon..I hope you get the land rover back going soon and looking forward to more videos.. Thanks Jeff

Thanks for the video Simon.

Best video yet Simon. Absolutely smashed it. An awesome day in the mountains. Such a joy to watch. 🙂👍

Great views, you really lucked out on the weather too

Great video Simon! Stunning views over the mountain. Thanks for sharing mate!

Great vid guys

Brilliant guys 👍👌

Quality, as always, Simon!! Well worth the wait. Been a while since I’ve been in those hills, you’ve just rekindled my passion for them. 🙏

Outstanding. My old stomping ground, thanks for stirring some memories...the whole area is superb.

Thank you for posting this journey, Simon. Beautiful scenery reminded me of the views in the Santa Monica mountains here in Calfornia. My calves were burning just watching your ascent.

Fine scenery! I am pleased it was you and your mate that had to do that climbing! ...Ahh...descending!

Great as always Simon and I subbed to Jason. atb

OMG the country side is so beautiful. thank you for the trip. New Hampshire watching. Be safe

Really enjoyed this one, cheers boys! Making me wanna get back out asap 🌲

Poor old Landy - hope she gets well soon.

Incredibly fun and relaxing video as usual. I hope you and the land rover made it back. Hopefully you can visit Jason in Canada some day. Maybe do something with Joe Robinet.

Been a subscriber for some good years now of both your channels so , it’s grate too see both together, get great enjoyment from both your channels

Nice scenery.. It's like watching scenes from Lord of The Rings movie all over again.. Good job Simon.. Enjoyable video.. Cheers..

Awesome episode Sir Simon ✊🏼🧐!! Absolutely Stunning Scenery Brother!! Cheers from across the Pond, California 🇺🇸

Love the video Simon..... What a quality yomp and lucky with the weather. Last time there I wasn't so blessed😆💨🌪I also love the base camp set up.... Totally wicked with no chat until later on🤣🤣 Thanks for the ride😎👌

Great film awesome angles. Thanks for sharing fantastic walk. And Thank you for doing the extra backwards and forwards for filming !

Hope you made it home safely. You sure picked the right day, after seeing the clouds the day after

So beautiful

Fantastic video Simon, my favourite part of the world ✌️

What an epic days walk that was. A tad steeper than Norfolk!! What stunning views.
