Smashing video! Commentary and maps very useful You've got some great shots too - a GoPro, I expect?

Hi Olly, I can relate to this and also have opened up on my Channel and found it helpful. So Huge respect as i know how hard it is to open up and talk. Best wishes Darren👍👍👍

Hey Olly, Wow you put my walks to shame! Was Nice to see the Bluebells reminded me of our local Wooded one. Amazing views! really great Watch! Best wishes Darren👌👍👍👍

Awesome as always..

Love your videos pal..

Beautiful walk 🤗 new subscribers ✨️

Hi Olly, this was truly an epic hike and you showed some great fitness and endurance there! I know the area reasonably well, I have done 3 shorter hikes on and around the area of the ridge. It’s beautiful and awesome and I really enjoyed your commentary. When you showed the map section I paused it to look at the route and I did laugh to myself thinking that off piste descent section off Craig Cwm Sylin could be pretty rugged and scary (I was right lol 😂😂😂). Good effort though, these experiences improve our skills and endurance. I have ascended that section at the end from the Cwm Pennant car park up to the forest but we went up that Alpine spine section to the one of the ridge summits. It’s stunning that route and fair play to you a hefty second big climb with tired legs! Enjoyed every much, catch you soon! Adam

Beautiful surroundings 🙂👍🍃

This is really good. Memories of Paul.

I missed this one Olly - superb outing! The start was a dream - nice and calm with good views. You got it for most of the day. Loved the snack bar (that was sweet) and narrow paths - a bit dodgy going down that boulder field. Once in the valley though it was again another fantastic part of the walk. I loved it down there - so peaceful and impressive. Well, a good stretch back in with the spit and rain. But hey I think it added to the atmosphere. All the best. Mark

Just watched parts 1 and 2. Really enjoyed both. Thanks

Would have got a thumbs up if you used the Welsh names

Beautiful

Watching October 2024

Do you watch Rob’s Discovery?

Oh my,,,,, spent so much time around there.... Thank you Olly.

Well done Olly, what a nice country !

Spectacular walk, Olly. Mynydd Tal-y-Mignedd has phenomenal views, though that rocky descent would've absolutely destroyed my old knees. Thanks for taking us along.

A long walk that is so well done and it looked hot. I drive up to bullpot and up and down, otherwise its long.

Well done Olly. Try gel.toe spacers and Luka k tape brgote starting walk. It was a game changer for me.

Nice one cool dude. You should start learning Welsh on Duolingo.

Nice one Olly enjoyed that, it’s nice to see what the views are like at the top of Arenig Fawr as when we went there you couldn’t see sod all 😂😂ATB Mark & Simon

A really good mountain day Olly although your fitness showed every now and then. A bit worrying the faintness going up. I think you need to find a local hill near you and walk up and down it as much as you can. 'Use it or lose,' it as they say. Other than that great conditions and views. All the best as always. Mark

Hi. Best place to park for nyland hill? Thx

Also from Somerset, attempted the 3YP a couple of weeks ago, but only managed Pen Y Ghent and Whernside. Still bloody hard work! Not many hill walks like it in Som’t, unless you run up and down Jacob’s Ladder a few times 😂

Beautifully filmed video of my favourite part of England. The occasional music fits perfectly as well.

Well done. It's a beautiful place. Been many times. Good video. Hope you do more up this way again👍

Excellent as usual Olly !

That was a great walk Olly. We've driven past The Blorenge a few times in the past but have never actually walked there. Lots of different scenery & great views across to the other hills & mountains. The first part of the walk looked similar to Exmoor or Dartmoor I thought. 😊😊

Is that heather on the ground? Looks like a lovely restful walk. Good on you for finally doing a walk off your bucketlist! ❤

I thoroughly enjoyed the walk Olly end to end. I've been up there a few times and it was good to see some old sights. For sure great views towards the Sugar Loaf and Skirrid - that whole interior with Aber too. A nice chill out at the Punchbowl - makes for a good swim, which I can testify too. Gotta say I liked your route. I was sussing out the view from 17.56-I could see it on the map. Well, good going lane walk and all. Take care and all the best. Mark

Very well captured and a nice walk Olly

Always a good day when Olly uploads 👍 great video!

Glad to see your back out there. You were confusing keepers pond with the punch bowl. Great walk though. Martin

Watch this in the week Olly-good to see you out. Mark

My wife and I did this walk in May of ‘22 and really had a wonderful adventure. We ran across your videos while we were reminiscing. We really enjoyed the manner that you presented and shared your experience. Very thoughtful and generous of you to share yourself that way. Thank you. Kevin D Grande Prairie Alberta Canada

Great video! You mention the Dysynni Valley, its where I live. You are correct in saying how peaceful it is. Live just a couple of miles from Bird Rock, I can see it from my garden, its heavenly!

Great video and walk Olly, keep it up mate :)

Yeah that was wet. Most wouldn't have bothered and of those the would most of those would have turned back fairly soon after starting out. Now does that prove you're a hard core walker or does it just prove you're nuts? 😉

hi man, nice video! i was just wondering, is that coastal path still open today? and is there and access to it with vehicles? id love to get some pictures with the reactor in the background!

Enjoyed that Olly, the Berwyns look a great area a place we haven’t been to yet. Do you think it would be any good for a wild camp? Just wondering if Llyn Lluncaws would be an option? ATB Mark & Simon 👍

Hi handsome. I love solomon footware. I owned 2 pairs of there speedcross 4 in 6 months. Because I walked on sidewalks and asphalt the warranty did not cover the quick ware . I looking for a boutique shoe repair shop to replace my solomon outsole for me. Please post if you know anyone online. Thanks

That was a wet old walk for sure Olly. A few years ago I cvamped below the forest and walked up through the trees and over the railway line and explored. I didn't geta round to Y Gryn but looking at this will have to approach it sometime. The next cwm (Pennant) offers another approach which I have done back in 2020. Look's like your ME jacket was wetting out - I had to reproof mine a few times ( I have the Rupal) and to be honest I have had cheaper jackets that lasted longer before needing treatment. Good watch all the same. atb Alan

Reminds me of several days on the Coast to Coast this past September. So wet, but oh, so rewarding. I’d do it again in a heartbeat. I’m from the US, and when I’m walking in the UK, I’m always so impressed by how many hardy Britons are cheerfully sharing the path, even in the wettest weather. Good for you for getting out there, and thanks for sharing the adventure.

Nice!

Great video Olly, very atmospheric out there! Watched from the (dis)comfort of my turbo trainer on Christmas morning so thank you for the distraction. Hope you have a great end to the year!
