Cadair Idris summit wild camp

Amazing over night wild camp on the summit of Cadair Idris in Snowdonia National Park.

[@johnr7769]

This is still my favourite video you have made. It may be due to me having a very deep affection for Cadiar but it is also due to content and the fantastic photographs when you were at the top. The videos when you and Ellie are together are something very special. Thank you JOhnR

[@primus7776]

The most beautiful mountain in Wales, in my view. Fantastic video. Thank You so much !

[@Yahoomediaclub]

Loved the video..once again, right thru..great content Scott. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🚐

[@fearny84]

Walked this yesterday. Such an amazing place...

[@MarkKellyPhotographyUK]

Great vlog, forget 40 and go camping, 56 and I'm about to go on 1st wildcamp/camp since I was 19, really looking forward to it, ready to step out 🏕🏕👍

[@SummitOrNothing]

How did you get on. I'm a late bloomer myself and a complete change of life style but mountain hiking and Wildcamping has become my new passion. If anyone would have told me that two years ago I would never have believed them.

[@onemanhisbackpack8571]

Great vid. Love Cadair Idris. Lost count of the amount of time I've been and camped up there. Got to be one of my favourite mountains. Keep up the great work.

[@ExplorerBuddies]

Thanks for the comment, yeh its one of my favourite camps and hopefully getting back there again soon.

[@christophersmith7714]

This has got to be the next mountain on my list! Just done the Pen Y Fan Horseshoe and loved every minute of it! Great vid especially the fantastic pics you took at the top! Cheers.

[@peterlongman]

Ive slept in the hut at the top with my two youngsters. Cooked our food then slept on the wooden benches. We planned to camp but it was too windy. One of the most memorable and perhaps one of the best nights of my life. We then walked down in the morning and did the local park run on saturday morn.

[@chrisandsamlivingthedream]

Awesome Scott .. never camped on my own .. cheers Chris & Sam

[@angelaharvey4797]

I reached the summit of Cadir Idris for the first time when I was in my mid 50's. Took loads of photos and was also lucky with the weather. Scrambled up Snowdon, Crig Goch in November 2015, followed by Moel Siabod (so lucky with the weather then too) . Love the mountains.

[@ExplorerBuddies]

Hey Angela Sounds like you really do love the mountains.

[@Choccytube]

By far the best video so far, it is so much more enjoyable in your 40's. I think everything you said in this video is pretty much how I see these adventures.

[@WyeExplorer]

It's nice to go all that way Scott and meet either someone interesting or kind folk. Some of the best scenery getting there to. You could see it this time. Wonderful vibe up there Scott. Sacred vibe even. Good that the troubles are over - I was out there for many years with my brother but found life again where you are now. Beautiful and very enjoyable. All the best. Mark Freeedooom!

[@ExplorerBuddies]

Thanks Mark, yeh its good to be out of the madness of my past, new chapters are happening all the time. Take Care Scott

[@WyeExplorer]

A pleasure. Yes the chaos of them days. Maaan many friends never made it. Bless em all. Peace..

[@moosteroutdoors88]

Loved the video did this a few weeks ago 👍

[@SummitOrNothing]

Just sat through this... Anticipating getting up there ourselves very soon and must say this has been the best video I've come across so far in preparation. I have seen a few of if two feet forwards vids but haven't come across your vids yet. Glad I have. We have been hiking / vlogging for a year or two now, based in South West so mainly Dartmoor but have ventured to Wales and the lake district on a few occasions. We were complete novices, out of our depth, but learning as we go, gaining experience, knocking off summits and loving life. Well, I've subbed now, ticked the bell and look forward to seeing more from your good self soon. Thanks ks for uploading this. Great stuff.

[@ExplorerBuddies]

Thanks for taking time to watch, love Dartmoor and need to get back there sometime soon, have sub to your channel so will watch out for your future vids 👍

[@gordyandellen]

Great video that, it's on my list! I loved the time lapse of sunrise, superb!

[@ExplorerBuddies]

Thanks Gordon, ATB Scott

[@evilawkeye2215]

Great video, brings back memories of when I hiked up there a few years ago!

[@ExplorerBuddies]

Thanks Kevin it is stunning place and not to many people which is nice 🙂 ATB Scott

[@nigelshort8669]

Another great trip, loved the sunrise and early morning photos. Your trip makes me want to tick of Cadair this year with my own summit camp.

[@ExplorerBuddies]

[@GwersyllaCnau]

Funnily enough whenever I take Cashew NASTY, I'm not hungry either lol. Nice setup with the gopro and yes they are robbing so and so's. Great views you had and I enjoyed watching. Thanks for sharing. ATB Mark.

[@ExplorerBuddies]

Its not that bad haha, still have another packet of the stuff 👍

[@GwersyllaCnau]

[@wildcamping1502]

[@ExplorerBuddies]

Thanks Les its a stunning walk and the views are amazing. ATB Scott

[@rlaxMedia]

Awesome video Scott, definitely inspired me to get up there soon. Great photos too, especially the one at 23:37 (y) - new cover photo me thinks!

[@ExplorerBuddies]

Thanks mate was amazing trip and will be going back again soon 🙂

[@2FeetForward]

What a night . Brilliant .I see you've taken my tips on board with regards to the photos 🤣 . After the crap weekend in the Lakes we've booked a cottage in Snowdonia for Sun - Friday next week. If you want to come and visit you know your welcome (No cooking on open fires though) 🙄 .

[@ExplorerBuddies]

Sounds like a plan need to look at dates. ATB SCott

[@ExplorerBuddies]

Thanks Darren.

[@hansonrichardmark]

Great video!

[@exploreearth6275]

Really wonderful place

[@Maggie-eo3rd]

Beautiful!! Thanks!!

[@ExplorerBuddies]

Thanks Maggie

[@FrancisDarracott]

incredible video Scott! I recently just filmed a vlog on top of the mountain!

[@ExplorerBuddies]

Thanks Francis, just checked out your vlog. Thanks Scott

[@colinanderson1399]

great vid ,the same walk a few years ago ,quite a tough day

[@ExplorerBuddies]

Thanks Colin and yes can be tough but well worth it.

[@andrewmaguire1057]

Carcking video mate - I've just come back from Cadair and did a vid and mentioned about life being too short, must be something philosophical in the water!

[@ExplorerBuddies]

Hey Andrew, the place is amazing and since I made the video I went back again with some friends and had the same weather which was amazing. ATB SCott 👍

[@darreneaton9901]

I can’t find your instagram account to follow but great video I’ve never done a wild camp but my first one is going to be up cadair idris after watching this it’s got me even more excited just need the coronavirus to end now so I can get out and do it. Keep up the good work

[@christopherheinig5590]

Great video thank you ! Do you have any information or references to the Legend of Cadair Idris ? Have searched on utube there is a cartoon video in Welsh ... cheers

[@peggyandthegreenfamily5469]

Wow nice camp ..bit scary but I missed Florence .....he he look forward to the next video??

[@archieslevin7580]

Fantastic video beautiful place where did you park overnight can you stay on the car park or not

[@peterdavies8036]

What equipment do you recommend for getting into wild camping? Mainly referring to tent, mat, sleeping bag and cooking equipment rather than clothes, etc.

[@NatSatFat]

You have done it again? really superb Vidstills & Pics of fantastic views! especially towards the Llyn Peninsular. Have you done the Knicht?

[@WelshGallivanter]

Good on you butty, nice camp great video 👍

[@ExplorerBuddies]

Cheers Mark, ATB Scott 👍

[@bipedal_shenanigans]

Stunning sunrise, I have added the video to a playlist if that's ok

[@ExplorerBuddies]

No problem and thanks for watching ATB Scott 🙂

[@iggysbrewinganddiy1650]

Hello folks great video, could you tell me how is it with multiple day car parking please? I would love to take my son this summer for few nights trip. Thanks a lot

[@diggerboyce1013]

Well done mate😀😀

[@ExplorerBuddies]

Many Thanks Derek, ATB Scott 👍

[@gavinworrow4801]

Hiya Scott fantastic video awesome pictures thanks for sharing. My friend & I are planning on doing two nights hoping to camp at the lake first then 2nd night at the summit can you recommend the best path?

[@markjohn9690]

great video :), my son really wants to go wild camping but he is only 6 do you think I should wait untill it's warmer weather ?

[@garybyrne8091]

Thanks for a great video. Loved it. How long did it take you to walk from the start to the tarn? We're looking at wild camping but we don't want to get to the tarn too early and have to wait around too long to set up. Thanks in advance and look forward to your new vids

[@markmackie100]

Great video mate, great watching your trip. Like you, i went up there and got into a whiteout, brilliant but a shame as there were no views. I go the impression you were a bit cold was that a paramo light smock you were wearing ? )

[@hansonrichardmark]

Can you please share the name of the background music track midway & at the end - thank you

[@DefinitiveMedia22]

What was the music you used?

[@CC-zt7wh]

Brilliant video! Where did you park? The car park does’nt allow overnight stays does it which is frustrating..

[@ExplorerBuddies]

Just put a note in the window saying that we are camping on the summit, never had any problem and I’ve stayed up there about 6 times 😉

[@CC-zt7wh]

Explorer Buddies love it😂👌 thanks

[@johnnyreggae969]

Really enjoyed your video I'm considering doing it my self where do you park your car all night

[@ExplorerBuddies]

Thanks John, i'm unsure of the name of the car park i'll see if I can found out the name. ATB Scott

[@johnnyreggae969]

Explorer Buddies thanks

[@martyz111]

His I was thinking to go camping for one night on cadair idris but not sure where I park my car over the night can anyone help my with it thank you

[@ScotsWildcamper]

Great video , i empathize with a lot of what your saying Scott , i didn't start my little adventures till i was 48 but probably enjoy them a lot more because of that. I just got that mic , everyone saying the sound is a lot better on my latest vid. I'm looking for a super light 3 season backpacking tent , i want to be able to sit up ( i'm 5ft 9 ) , cook in the porch area with flysheet door shut and it to take quite strong winds .....not summit force winds but 30mph+. Do you think the telemark 2 fits the bill the other tent i'm looking at is the hilleberg Enan ? Thank you Eddie.

[@ExplorerBuddies]

Thanks Eddie glad i'm not the only person that started my adventures late 🙂 The Telemark 2 is amazing tent at only 900grams and you can sit up in (i'm 6ft) The bonus is that the porch area can be adjusted so you have more space to cook in. Nordisk tested the Telemark 2 upto 39MPH winds and passed (see video here) kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJmufZmwptqXeNE ATB SCott

[@ScotsWildcamper]

Thanks Scott , i'll give it abit more thought , i think your one is the one to go for , telemark 2 LW i'm guessing , alot more for the ULW and the telemark 1 abit smaller for not much weight saving.Great channel you've got and i'm a big fan of Austin and Lucy.Take care.

[@WyeExplorer]

The Nordisk is definitely a good bet Eddie. My bro Paul loved his. I agree start getting out even in your late 40's. We lost a lot of years because of the drugs and drink but found the nature again - it was there when we came to. Ha ha!

[@ScotsWildcamper]

Mark i'm thinking about the Enan or telemark 2 for long backpacking trips , nordisk bigger and cheaper but i suspect the Enan is stronger and i'm maybe just siding on the extra strength at the moment.

[@WyeExplorer]

I've just checked out the Enan - at 960 grams it's a similar design to the Nordisk. It has a good vestibule also. A good bet...

[@pennantsheepdogs1442]

My uncle farms at tal y llyn and shepherds the mountain. Dont think he’d appreciate you camping on it lol.

[@john3Lee]

Really enjoyed this episode Scott. Every episode surpasses the previous in terms of quality and production. I especially liked the mini review of the GoPro. How many batteries did it use for this trip?

[@ExplorerBuddies]

Thanks John, i used 3 battires on the trip but have a charger and power brick to charge them off 🙂

[@mrbear676]

Hi Scott hope yr ok not seen you doing your films hope all is ok

[@ExplorerBuddies]

Yeh all good been busy with the van build but all finished so back out in the hills 👍

[@twonk116]

Caidir idris is relentless. Harder on the knees and hips than snowdon
