Brecon Beacons | Wild Camp | Llyn Cwm Llwch | Where Our Channel Started |

Фильм және анимация

We both take a hike up to the place where it all started, back to the location of our first ever KZread video - Llyn Cwm Llwch in the Brecon Beacons, we start our ascent from the Storey Arms side of the Central Beacons and head towards Corn Du before turning left towards the Tommy Jones memorial and then heading down towards the lake.

We set up camp on exactly the same pitch we had the first time we were there :-) and had an awesome night.
Thanks for watching Mark & Simon.

Very popular spot, amazing to see so many people out, good bit of pitching too, nice that you got rhe same spot 🏕👍☕ Fjallraven ftw guys 🤜🏕🤛 Kat was very envious of your dinner, nom nom! 😋 🥩🥔 we had steak last night, love a bit of wholegrain mustard with ours 👍 Keep the videos coming guys, looking forward to seeing what you get upto next, have a great week, Ceri and Kat ☕ ❤ 🗺 🧭

I've also camped twice next to the stream at the Nant carpark/field and both times the farmer has turned up and asked for a fiver...the get Haha!! I don't know about you but Snowdonia might be bigger, steeper, better whatever but the Brecon Beacon's is unique and our local natural wonder/playground and certainly where my heart will always be and I dare say yours too.

    This is mad to watch, I just did my first ever wild camp at that lake on Monday after watching one of your old videos. It was windy and raining walking up there but the wind died down once I walked down to the lake but come about 11 o clock at night the wind was howling and it didn't stop raining all night but it didn't stop me cooking and downing a bottle of wine. Hardly slept and the walk out in the morning was hard going due to the weather but none the less really enjoyed it. Cheers guys for the inspiration to go and do it from a fellow cardiff lad 👍👍

    Hi there, thanks for watching the video 👍 Fjallraven tents are excellent quality tents, I’m a firm believer in buying once and buying quality and if you think camping is not for you, you wouldn’t have a problem re selling a Fjallraven tent. I don’t know much about the view 2 tent but the tent I have is a great 2 person tent 4 season tent and pretty lightweight, the only disadvantage with the tent is it is quite low and if you are taller than say 5 foot 8 you will not be able to sit up in it, but still a great 2 person backpacking tent. Hope this helps, but if you have anymore questions I’ll gladly answer them ATB Simon
