Looks so excellent! Glad to be here again!

Always a great view from Higger Tor and Stanage Edge. Nice hike Des, thanks for sharing. Love the Winnie The Pooh song exert.

It is a beautiful area Des with a sad history. I love the sketches, too. I love the waterfall in full flood. I was lucky to catch it in my one visit. Great view from the Pub, too. Nice hike Des, thanks for sharing.

That sure was a beauty of an area. There must be a pub on every corner there, just like we have a Tim Horton's donut and coffee shop on every corner here! lol Enjoy the weekend!

Great to see you both out. It’s been a poor year hasn’t it? Lovely film though! Paul 👍

Nice one but the MPG would have been low I think. Take care stay safe.

Vielen lieben Dank für deinen tollen Beitrag 👍 wünschen dir noch eine schöne Woche und vielen Dank für gegenseitige Unterstützung, ❤ Siggi & Anne ❤️

A lovely walk...and 2 nice pubs...as good as it gets

Must visit Eyam looks an intresting place thanks Des for the video .

DPM means DISRUPTIVE 😂

Lovely video!! Nice to watch your walks again through those lovely green english landscapes! It was great to listen the birds singing and the lovely river, hope it gets better. Thanks for sharing!👍

the trig with no name is bradwell moor

Pretty hike day, things are still so green. It's drying up here already.

Fascinating fossil. Enjoyed the walk and talk. I would have loved to have seen the campsite and facilities though.

Those Dales are amazing so green and lush but has you said the farmers there abouts are having a problems A great walk Des and a well deserved pint 🍻 Best wishes to you both Simon 🤠👍🏔️

A beautiful hike Des. We've had some real wet and windy weather. Fossils are really interesting, a glimpse of time gone by. You wouldn't think it was June. Thanks for sharing.

Nice one Des. Beautiful wander mate. Shame about the river there. Same everywhere isn’t it. Our river has just been tested around her and water quality is rated “poor”. Haven’t seen any Otters for ages, hopefully they’re still around. 🤞

Hi Des, you had a gorgeous day for your walk down Biggin Dale. I liked the sound of your Blue Monkey Marmoset at the end! 🍺

Good to see the waters glowing des but sad to hear of the rivers health. As you know it's a big conversation down here too. The valley though was a delight - so beautiful not that the farmers have much time to enjoy it right now - they're battling the elements it sounds. A pleasant walk over all though and a great finish. All the best. Mark

Hi both nice that you got out camping again, this is such a lovely place that looks so peaceful and you had a beautiful day for it. Love the sound of the caves and the pub looked nice 😃 ~ Anna 👍

I love Biggin Dale. Looks like you were lucky with the weather and got some sunshine

Very nice. Brilliant. I like it very much. Have a blessed time. Greetings ~ Milan

Lovely walk and the beer looked good.

Hallo, vielen lieben Dank für eure tolle Arbeit 👍 wünschen dir noch eine schöne Woche ❤ danke für gegenseitige Unterstützung 🔔 Siggi & Anne 👍

Stayed here for the Victorian Christmas event in 2023. The staff here are 'Top Notch'. They could not be more friendly & helpful! The facilities are first class! Our caravan is all electric. We ripped out the gas implements. Electric hook up was available & close by. Just a short walk down to Robin Hoods Bay. We will definitely be staying again!👍👍😁😁

Did this walk last week, loved it.

Solid walk there Des. That hill Fort seemed like such an important place for Wales. I'm always in 2 minds about the old railway lines as on one hand it serves as pathways and walking routes but on the other cuts off communities to each other. I have to say the highlight was the Bison. They looked amazing. Wouldn't want to get on the wrong side of one but really unusual on a hike. Thanks for taking us along and hope you are both doing well. Speak soon. Happy hiking as always 👍😃👍🥾🥾🥃🥃

Anyone who wanted to sack that fort would have to have a lot of stamina to get up there and then fight. I bet it was an impressive structure in its time. I loved the old slate field dividers too, I've not seen them before. Certainly a beautiful hike Des, thanks for sharing.

Blimey! That did look well preserved Des....looks like they've only just left. I'm wondering if the Cynwyd you mentioned is the one I stayed at many years ago. We stayed in the youth hostel and it was freezing.....I had about five of those horrible itchy blankets in a futile effort to keep warm. We did the Berwyns the next day.

Driven through so many times and never stopped once (a shame ) but Des you did and what a great hill walk you had (those hill forts are fascinating (shame I know so little about them 😢)) as we have one in the Malverns and caer caradoc in the Shropshire hills Too A well earned beer mate 👍🤠👌🏻 Best wishes Simon

You are for sure in Owain Glyndwr country des. A lovely walk along the lanes and river - green to the doors. I imagine them stone boundary walls would have been harder work than just fashioning wooden fences. They certainly look hefty. Well, stone was the thing as was Iron. A pretty impressive fort that des. All hand built eh? Well, good going. I see the big hills in the distance. All the best. Mark

Very interesting walk! As always a great presentation! My huge like for your nice work! 🦇 👍

A very nice looking walk Des. Enjoyed following along. 👍🏻🚶🏻‍♂️🚶‍♀️

Wonderful place Des. And wonderful views. Incredible size and the time and effort to get those stones into place - just amazing. Fascinating to see the stone walls near the river too. Again so much effort to build those and dig them in. I thought you had flown over to the Great Plains at the start!! Bison!!!!! Wow! Corwen looks an interesting place. Cheers both. And loved the song of the Blackcaps throughout.

Bisons in Wales is not what I expected. I thought it was mostly sheep. 😊 An area full of history. Lot of green and mostly quite easy flat walking. Beautiful statue of the revolution leader. Have a great day! Kaat

Hi Des, hope you are good and well! It looks like you found a great place to escape the busy bank holiday crowds. Lovely walk and very peaceful. The last time I visited the Berwyns, I was clagged out so may need to visit again soon. Thanks for sharing Des

Hi my dear friends, an another nice video, beautiful views from there and presentation. Like 13 ♥

Hello again to you two!! Look at all that beautiful green!! Can you imagine the muscle power and effort it must have taken to get those field stones in place...amazing!! So much fantastic history in these areas!

Hallo, super gemacht, vielen lieben Dank dafür 👍 wünschen dir eine schöne Woche ❤ danke für gegenseitige Unterstützung 🔔 Siggi & Anne 👍

Enjoyed that Des...you do visit some beautifully quiet places..interesting to see the old Slate walls...The hill fort would have been an important site in it's day

Two coincidences, I am reading a book in which Corwen plays a minor part. The second is once again I am coming on while eating my supper and you have a video for me LOL Lovely walk, sorry you missed the train.

That video was so helpful, seeing all the gear and weather conditions. Hooped bivi footage was great.

Just picked up my first Basha in DPM so this video covered every thing I wanted to know. I particularly was interested if there was room for an inflatable mattress in a Dutch Hooped bivi.

I have always used a tent on camp sites paying £12 to £18 a night and having to pre book as well. Bivi and Basha camping really appeal to me. Cannot wait to try it, you inspired me.

The trail from Betws-y-coed goes through the amazing slate quarry. Start at the Miners Bridge Public house, the hidden path is at the end of the road in the corner. The route is full of tunnels and caves. The old steam crane arm is still visible in the slate quarry.

Sound information

Just the video I wanted to see.

I bought one of these today (£56 from Blacks by St. Pauls in London), as I'm fed-up with expensive Photo Backpacks cooking my back and I wanted a TMP to hopefully improve that for the Summer. Afterwards I found the full feature list, and I've been looking at reviews trying to trace everything down: * AirZone LT lightweight, breathable suspended mesh carry system (I'd just call this a TMP) * Internal zipped security pocket * Zipped main opening * Side compression straps * Zipped top pocket * Sternum strap with whistle * Stretch water bottle side pockets * Secure TipGripper walking pole attachments * Front stash pocket for quick access * Rain cover * Hydration compatible - fits 3L bladder * Key clip * Light loop I did think the zips didn't look that waterproof so happy to find the rain cover. The Whistle took a little longer. Worked out where the hydration pack and its tube goes, just stuck with the Key Clip and Light Loop... hopefully soon... The 780g weight is IMHO excellent! So far I'm very happy :-) (Edit) Okay, the "Key Clip" is on a short strap inside the externally accessible pocket, at the top on the opposite end to where the zip pull will be when open... the Light loop (for a Red rear light) is at the bottom rear just above the "Raincover" logo. (The Whistle, in case anyone hasn't found it yet, is part of the plastic clip on the right side chest (sternum) strap with the blow-into hole on the top. Oh and I assume the Water Bladder - RAB make a 2l one I think may fit - goes in the large stretch-top pocket closest to your back inside the main compartment and the hose comes out the hole - with handy H2O logo - at the top right as you are wearing it? I'd just shove a water bottle in one of the exterior side pockets though, especially with any camera gear in it...)

Can't complain about that. Perfect for summer. I have said for years that a tent is really for privacy.

A pleasant walk des with some pretty dramatic skies. The camera looked to be working well. What was it? And the mic too that came out alright. Great up on the edge - love where that trig is. I bet that's been a right party before now. Few people there on your trigger happy moment. Well, good going - no food at the inn but a good one none the less. All the best. Mark
