Can I Wild Camp in the Cambrian Mountain Wilderness ?

#wildcamping #wildcampinguk
I set off walking in the wild Cambrian Mountains to see if I can find a place to wild camp for the night? The Cambrian Mountains are part of an area of Mid Wales which is notoriously boggy and can be difficult to walk across. I pick up the footpath for the Cambrian Way and get some amazing views of a lake with the mist and fog rolling into the hills. I walk past an abandoned cottage and another lake as the sun rises on this clear cold morning. Will I find a place to wild camp and will I wild camp in the Cambrian Mountains?

What a gorgeous area....

[@marieryan2541]

I loved your walk through the mountains the wide open landscape makes you feel so peaceful and quiet small in the scream of things. The views were amazing at the top.

[@DayTripperAdventures]

Thanks Marie it is a beautiful place

[@jackkat8825]

Excellent can't wait for the video

[@jackkat8825]

Nice drone action

[@fermeautonomelotfrance76]

👌

[@ianjames1179]

Nice video Rich, a different feel to this one. Keep up the good work Bro.

[@DayTripperAdventures]

Thanks Ian music sounded very Pink Floyd I thought it went well with the scenery

[@jackkat8825]

Love the scenery. You should read NOLS WINTER CAMPING to help you better prepare for the freezing conditions.

[@DayTripperAdventures]

Thanks I’ll check it out

[@bigjoe4705]

That’s a beautiful area! I live in the desert 🌵 haha!

[@DayTripperAdventures]

Wales is beautiful

[@lamangacolin]

A wise choice Richard to back to the cabin to be with Xiwang. Good luck to the 3 Lions tomorrow...if they overcome France they will win the World Cup!

[@DayTripperAdventures]

Thanks Colin I’ll have to listen on the radio to tomorrow as will be out for a frosty maybe snowy camp

[@lamangacolin]

@@DayTripperAdventures It's all about how Walker copes with the threat of Mbappe. Have a great time on your camp. It is still 20c here, but we are getting rainy days as well. Xmas this year for me and mt son Tiger is in Benidorm!

[@DayTripperAdventures]

Agreed but I could go either way on the night. I’d love to be Tenerife for Christmas but not this year. Have fun in Benidorm I do plan to visit there one day

[@mallyredfearn6834]

Richard, I can't believe you went on even that little wander with not even a basic kit. One slip or moment and you're there in the freezing cold with no protection. Take at least a survival bag, some snacks, a drink, a whistle and a torch. And some gloves lol.

[@DayTripperAdventures]

I live on the edge occasionally 😆

[@ervinslens]

Fantastic upload my friend, landscapes here are beyond spectacular. Absolutely stunning work bud!

[@DayTripperAdventures]

Thank you I hope I have more time their next time

[@thewanderingforester]

It's a lovely area though as you say there's a fair big of boggy moor - look for "waun" in the place names - means "wet moorland"! Farther south from Glaslyn is Pumlumon - sources of the Severn & Wye, decent walks there, and Pen Punlumon Fawr is a good hill with great views. Lovely drone footage. ATB Roger

[@DayTripperAdventures]

Thanks Roger I just did n’t have enough time to explore the river sources and would love to next time. Sometimes you can only do what you can but I still enjoyed getting a glimpse of somewhere I’ve not really been before

[@WyeExplorer]

Love Pumlumon as you know Roger. I trust you're well. Peace.

[@STTC]

That was a no brainer for me 🤣🤣🤣 log cabin and log fire every time, nice video Richard

[@DayTripperAdventures]

Thanks Steve seemed wrong to pay for a nice cabin then wild camp somewhere else for the night

[@vincebdaniel5324]

The sencery is beautiful in its own way. Nice change of pace. Please prep more carefully for winter camping Richard. Conditions can deteriorate quickly.

[@DayTripperAdventures]

Thanks Vince this was just a walk checking out area but yes don’t worry I do have good Winter kit and will test out more in next weeks video

[@lindalyons6372]

Your videos are gettin better and better. Loved the music.

[@DayTripperAdventures]

Thanks Linda it was a bit Pink Floyd ish which I thought suited this one for some unknown reason

[@darrylbyron6526]

Beautiful area. Another great video 👍

[@DayTripperAdventures]

Thanks Daryl yes so many beautiful places to visit in the UK not enough time to do it all

[@h.bsfaithfulservant4136]

Stunning area Richard 👍

[@DayTripperAdventures]

Yes beautiful I want to explore more next time time was too short this trip

[@nevillemorley5926]

Most interesting video. Your decision to stay in the cabin was prudent. It looked too boggy, at that time of going there. I look for forward to your next visit in the Cambrian.

[@DayTripperAdventures]

Thanks Neville it was a no brainier but there is always the excitement of maybe doing a camp in unknown places

[@bagariusyarrelli7142]

🖖

[@backpackartist]

I've camped on the ridge north of the first lake. Good flat and well drained. Although it is a bit exposed - as I found out when I caught the edge of one of those named storms. if you'd turned left where the Cambrian Way and Glyndwr's Way split you'd have found a lovely little spot down by the bridge.

[@DayTripperAdventures]

Thank you. I’m sure I could have camped but I had little time and a log cabin with a wood burner this time so will have to camp next time

[@jackkat8825]

Where's your water, food, n emergency supplies ? Please be careful we all want to see many more of your spectacular adventures.

[@DayTripperAdventures]

I was never more than 2 hours from the car so it was n’t that dangerous

[@DayTripperAdventures]

Thanks for your concern though

[@APguide906]

Enjoyed the video!

[@DayTripperAdventures]

Thank you

[@survival-sam]

Stunning , but please me sure you have some cold weather gear when exploring, it can change in a flash up that high,

[@DayTripperAdventures]

Thanks David I was not worried as I was never more than 2 hours from the car on this one. But you are right you should take more than you need

[@rollingstrongwithrazo1915]

Camping or Cabin ? Cabin, good choice. 😎❤️🇬🇧🎄👍

[@DayTripperAdventures]

It was just too cosy to go out into the cold 👍❤️😄🇬🇧

[@Kenobi5001]

Sometimes being in the warm and looking out at a cold day is adventurous enough.

[@DayTripperAdventures]

Agreed and also if there is no real need to camp that night then why do it

[@WyeExplorer]

Ah, you're in the Cambrians then Richard. Oh yeah through our own conversations and my videos you know it can be hiked and camped. Good to see you exploring it - they are a fave of mine but for 18 months now I have been injured. A right bugger otherwise I'd join you. Well, good going. Mark

[@DayTripperAdventures]

Hi Mark - it was a brief stop otherwise I would have caught up with you again. We must do something next year when you are better 👍

[@WyeExplorer]

@@DayTripperAdventures Hey, yeah worth a few hours though. Oh for sure would love to hike and camp and explore life. I'm getting there. Peace.

[@BourneOutside]

Great drone shots and views, Richard! Disappointed you didn't get out there and make the most of it ☹ I thought that was #gregoryporter walking along there for a minute at the start of the video.

[@DayTripperAdventures]

Sometimes you are only allowed out so long Tim 😆

[@BourneOutside]

@@DayTripperAdventures Hahaha, especially if we haven’t done the chores 😁

[@Adventures_with_Sog]

Ay up buddy. To be honest I don't blame you, lol. Still, least you got out for a bracing walk in the rugged beauty of Wales 👣👍🙂

[@DayTripperAdventures]

Exactly Sog and also scouted out the land for next time

[@NikkiEvernight]

Of course you can canpnout there. If you can stealth camp in all the usual places you absolutely could camp anywhere.

[@DayTripperAdventures]

Yes it’s a question of did I really want to when I had a cosy wood cabin with a log burner

[@arguato]

Is England or Scotland?

[@DayTripperAdventures]

Almost but this is Wales
