matts hiking adventures

Hi and Welcome to my channel! I will be making videos of my hikes. I'll be releasing a video every mouth or more if I can. I am new to the hiking community, so i have a lot of things to learn and a lot of mountains and places to explore, and I can't wait to take you on my adventures

Being ex military ive done a few odd hikes in the past like Snowdon and a through hike in norway I've done a London to Brighton 100k charity walk and few odd hikes in the new forest and peak district and i really enjoyed them. so i thought, why not let's turn it into a hobby and start a youtube channel whilst doing that to make it more interesting.

I hope you enjoy my videos.

To see more of my content please follow me on Instagram.

thank you for watching, and happy adventuring and hiking. And don't forget to subscribe, like, and comment.

    That was brilliant mate. Never done that route but it’s on my list,yet I’ve climber most (nearly all) of the mountains you were looking at. I did the route from Dragons back to Waun Fach. I need to do your route to finish it off 👍

    Thank you mate, you should definitely give it a go at some point! Since then I've done more of the black mountains, but I'm yet to do the dragons back to waun fach! When I do it I going to drop down to the resivour then up to rhos and then back down the dragons back. I cant wait to do it. It is in the plans, I have so much more to explore 😬😁.

Well done👏👏 Watched and enjoyed👋 Sugarloaf is very good, great pub at the bottom, also very nice Wetherspoons in Abergavenny town. I go up that way often. The 3 together, skirrid, Sugarloaf and Blorenge. You could do two easily in a day and have 2 separate videos over a couple of weeks👍 . Welsh 3 peaks for me tomorrow 4am start👋

    Good going Matt - I know all them peaks. I have to agree a great view from Twmpa and into the interior of the Black off Pen Y Gadair to be fair. I have to disagree with your assessment of the Black Mountain. Although not much on the spot a little West and you can see into the interior of the Bluff-East and it's the Black Hill and the Olchon Valley - gotta go off piste for that to be fair. Well, an awesome day. All the best. Mark

    Thank you. It was a very long day! That's fair mate. Everyone has their opinions! But I didn't really like black mountain, I just felt there wasn't much there to show or speak of and i like a good view or an interesting summit and to me it had neither of them, and it was very boggy so going off piste wasn't really an option. Thank you for watching. I'm glad you like it 😁.
