Wild Camping on Sugarloaf Mountain | Brecon Beacons South Wales | Winter Summit Camping 4K

Back to South Wales this week for a wild camp on Sugarloaf mountain in the Brecon Beacons. This was another cold weather camping trip, setting up on the summit of the mountain during a glorious sunset we felt the chill.
after a cold night we were greeted by a gorgeous sunrise and some cloud inversion.
Thanks to Warren from ‪@Linleys‬ for his company on another epic adventure in South Wales.

Good to see you are enjoying your self in a place you obviously love. The views of the scenery and the sun setting are spectacular, well done Dan and Warren glad you enjoyed your selves, take care up there.

[@CampLifeBushcraft]

Thanks mate, it was glorious! I went with the expectation of rain and clag but this was a nice treat!

[@hedleythorne]

What a location! Oh and a morning cloud inversion on timelapse looks really special.

[@CampLifeBushcraft]

It was one of the best camps of the year. The morning was something else!

[@JBwhattodo]

Dan’s top tip is to rip second part of the packaging on the ready meal, then Dan proceeds to forget AGAIN to take his own advice 🤭Another nice adventure Dan and Warren with another wonderful sunrise 🍄

[@CampLifeBushcraft]

hahahaha, I know.. I did say I never remember.. then proved it! ; )

So bloody inspiring mate, thank you.👍

[@CampLifeBushcraft]

Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it 👍 I appreciate you watching. Dan

[@paulparkinson7118]

Great video Dan ,enjoyed watching it with all those wonderful views, good choice with the Reindeer meat,looking forward to your next video

[@CampLifeBushcraft]

Thanks Paul 👍

[@rkw4565]

Another adventure! Really liked that sunrise time-lapse.

[@CampLifeBushcraft]

Thank you, really glad you enjoyed it.

[@robtherover]

Enjoyed that Dan. Timelapses were great.

[@CampLifeBushcraft]

Thanks Rob, amazing trip 👌

[@anniejones1839]

Two men and a wheelbarrow, tickled my funny side. Awesome sunset and views. As for the runner in shirts and tshirt, he was mad lol.

[@CampLifeBushcraft]

yeah I found it hard to fathom too.. each to their own I suppose : )

[@mooseyrambling5838]

Great video Dan, and me mate, Reindeer all the way with out a shadow of a doubt. The views looked amazing up there. I'm head up to Cadair Idris in a week or so. I hope the weather is as good as you had. I can do cold, but cold and wet is never a good combo bud. After the fog left, I bet that sky was superb. Top respects to Mr Linley, and excellent video, very entertaining and as always well produced. Regards Moose

[@CampLifeBushcraft]

Thanks mate, yeah cold and wet can be a challenge. I can't believe how nice it was on both nights! hope you have a great trip 👍

[@swatselanay6210]

So great

[@CampLifeBushcraft]

Thanks : )

[@DayTripperAdventures]

Lovely night Dan beautiful views - it’s fantastic when you get to enjoy these quiet nights on a mountain 👍

[@CampLifeBushcraft]

Thanks mate, yeah we were extremely fortunate with the weather conditions.. other than the cold it was glorious! the days either side of this trip were wet and miserable in South Wales.

[@ewengillies9826]

If I was in that much cold I'd eat the zreindeer stew as an entree and the Beans and meatballs as a main followed up with Warrens Custard Dan... comfort food.. lol.. Magic camp guys we have a Sugarliaf mountain and it's just as rocky. Bushyboy Oz.

[@CampLifeBushcraft]

it seems a popular name for a mountain, and it suits the top I suppose. glad you enjoyed it mate, I went expecting rain and got a real treat instead!

Sorry Dan I'm with Linley, you can keep your reindeer. I don't like meatballs either but out of the two. You spoilt us at Christmas! Fantastic photography, views spectacular. Easy to see why you love it. Thanks for another great video x

coward! the reindeer is lovely : ) thank you, I'm glad you liked it. it was a spectacular night this one, really enjoyed it.

Great vid mate stunning views gets really busy up there normally 👍

Thanks. We got very lucky with the sunshine! It was early February and bitterly cold. That probably helped it not be as busy as normal. Thank you for watching and commenting. Appreciate it. Dan

[@CampLifeBushcraft]

Thanks mate : )

[@terrym1065]

Dan👍👍 Huffing and puffing up the hill was good for you, the view at the top was well worth the effort eh.. You and Warren pitched camp at a precarious place, surprised you found ground to stake the tents down. Yeah I bet it was cold there, top of the hill and no wind break. No sitting around the fire enjoying some adult beverages this time. Real Turmat, good stuff I hear but they don't import to the US...bummer. Warren always with that mile wide smile tells the tale, another fine adventure. Great video, well filmed, thanks. See ya next time. Enjoy!

[@CampLifeBushcraft]

Thanks Terry, yep, all worth it as soon as you reach the top. Just stunning. next time I'll be around a fire for sure : )

[@DDRR00]

That was wonderful, Dan. Thanks for what you do.

[@CampLifeBushcraft]

my pleasure. really glad you enjoyed it!

[@southcoastoutdoorsuk6301]

That was a hell of a pitch , bewt night sky and that time lapse was awesome ! And the morning was just epic , well done on a cracking vid 👍

[@CampLifeBushcraft]

Thanks mate, it was a stunner!

[@SussexOutdoors]

The pictures on Instagram were beautiful, but they didn't do it justice! That looked like a really awesome camp, even if you were on some slightly uneven ground! Thanks for sharing, and look forward to the next one! All the best, James. 👌

[@CampLifeBushcraft]

mate, it was stunning. well worth the effort and the lumps! such a glorious morning.

[@tweedyoutdoors]

I only had time to watch the first 13 minutes so far but that was glorious Dan! Beautiful light you captured from the top there. My grandmother's house had a view of the Sugarloaf, so it's a mountain I have a huge affection for, although I haven't been to the top since I was a teenager. I must spend more time in that neck of the woods!

[@CampLifeBushcraft]

We got so lucky, either side of these nights we had was rain, and I had been expecting wet weather if I'm honest. such a lovely surprise to have clear, sunny skies. I'd watch a Tweedy in the mountains episode!

[@telhunter7919]

Hi Dan just found your channel and watched the video, fantastic views and sun set, look forward to watching more, what a place. What are the chances of seeing a runner in shorts n trainers up there at that time of day! 😂 There’s a famous military base not a million miles away from there 😉👍😊 Thanks for sharing👍 have subd.

[@CampLifeBushcraft]

Hi Tel. I'm glad you enjoyed the video mate. Thank you for the sub. Atb Dan

[@BurtonOutdoors]

#WarrensCustard ❤ Perfect camp that... a bivvy may have been better for the top? Stunning views. Sort your speed lacing out 🤷‍♂️ Enjoyed 👍

[@CampLifeBushcraft]

it was glorious mate. I wouldn't want to Bivi at this time of year. the biting wind is what makes it cold.. sheltering in the tent is the place to be.. no chance of that with a bivi! speed lacing is for losers!

[@Peace.Love.Psychedelics]

Warren @Linlays aka Steptoe, tight bugger. Beans and Spar sausages 😂

hahaha!

[@nigelyarwood1581]

Sorry Dan I,d go for the meat balls beans and sausage yum yum

[@kennethwalker4701]

Hi Dan,that's a good one.there is a ski resort in Vermont same name sugarloaf!.Famous around New England area..pretty scenery Dan..take care now....PS will it snow on. Your mountain also?

[@CampLifeBushcraft]

I think there is a sugarloaf in Australia too. popular name : ) yes it can snow in these mountains, and often does, I was kind of hoping for some on this trip but no joy there. I think its more likely in December/January.

Great video I pitched my Soulo on pen y fan a few weeks ago, looks like it can be done on sugarloaf despite the rocky ground?

[@CampLifeBushcraft]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. Yes, it can be done. Just about room for 2 tents, but ample for 1. You just need to wiggle it about a bit to avoid the lumps. Pegs went in the ground fine though. Spectacular place to wake up! I highly recommend it. Atb Dan

[@Dean_Cooling]

Am literally packing my bag watching vids, heading out for a late night camp….Sugarloaf is one of my ‘locals’ so am considering heading there when this popped up!! You should try the edge of the Blorange. It’s virtually opposite you, on top of Abergavenny as you head over to Blaenavon. Are you still in this neck of the woods tonight? It’s so heavily eroded up there compared to only a few years ago. Always take new tents up there as always windy…. Have a look at the difference erosion wise compared to only a few years ago…. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZuThWBqjq6DfdU Dean

[@CampLifeBushcraft]

Warren had been on Blorange earlier in the year, we were talking about it during the evening. its another one on my list. this was filmed in early February I had some computer issues that delayed its editing.
