    I love these hiking videos so much. This is literally my dream way to spend a day, and because I can't do this much, your videos are how I live vicariously!

    As much as I love you taking the vlog along on your adventures it's understandable and correct that you are living more in the moment with your friends than thinking about vlogging! Glad you enjoyed yourself. Wales looks beautiful (even when cloudy!) and we definitely need to take a trip there, I haven't been since I was a kid!

    Good on you Zanna. I had a hunch the vibe to this vlog might be good and I was bang on. Fantastic stuff. I grew up with these mountains and their stories and it was good to see you guys soaking it up swim and all. You defo got back down buzzing. Good going. Mark (Hereford)

    I've travelled to so many places around England and Wales that I've lost track, from a very young age - say about 13,14 - I'd travelled to the Brecon Beacons on a camping trip with boarding school, it was winter, and super-cold, the sort that's so bitter it's damp and very painful. Now I live in Norway; sorry England\Wales, this is on another level. 🖐😋🤚 😅

    Pronunciation help from a Welsh speaker: Y in the context of ‘Pen-Y-Fan’ is pronounced ‘Uh’ and the single F is pronounced as a V in Welsh. Pen Y Fan = Pen Uh Van

    Hi Zanna! I had a trip planned to South Wales this weekend (I'm here right now!), specifically Brecon Beacons for the past month now, so when I saw you were there last weekend I was so excited to see what you got up to. I was pleasantly surprised that you made your Wales blog withing DAYS of getting home so that I could read it before my trip (but not really that surprised because it's you haha!). I climbed Pen y Fan in 30 degree weather, IT WAS CRAZY hard in the heat, but the swim at Cwm Llwch was that much more incredible for it! I have 1.5 more days in Wales - I reckon it's a beach day!! Funny how fast the weather can change in the UK - 16 and rainy on your trip and now it's "hot enough to complain" hahaha! Cheers x
