Love the Westons Vintage and Inches! If you get chamce, try Merrydown, thats a strong one too and comes in a long green bottle and also Old Rosie by Westons. Thats like a proper cludy scrumpy, really nice but might be awkward to fit in your bag as it comes in like a flaggon bottle! Great vid as always! 😄👍

Fascinating stuff, I do like a bit of history, I must have a look at my maps near me is a place called Santon Downham and some people still refer to it as the Warren, makes me wonder if there are pillow mounds there as well. If I remember correctly wasn’t it the romans that introduced rabbits for meat etc? Great video Ryan

Another cracking episode Ryan. Having walked through there from Penwyllt to Ystradfellte a few times but not explored it really has whetted my appetite for a proper explore. As for the forest between Gyhirych & Nedd I think you will find a camp spot as I am almost sure there is a you tuber from ystradgynlais way has camped in there previously.. I am sure you will have spotted the one of the steams running through there is the same name as the res you recently was near in the Cambrians...lol. I love the smell of coffee but not the taste - the rest of the household love it so I may get them somejust to take in the smell. Condensed milk.. that takes me back.

@wildaboutwales 6 ай бұрын
Someone else mentioned they resemble grouse butts. I've tried finding some more info on them but have had no luck. I was thinking exactly that, even when the walls were fully erected, I'm sure they would escape or burrow out. There's an archaeology site that's shared some information online about the area, here's a link to it... coflein.gov.uk/en/site/24385/
