He is such a a great dog, you have trained him effectively and he took the training, because he loves you. And you give him threats.

[@Roz.S]

I think it’s more to do with the treats 😅 Treats are his form of payment, and I wouldn’t go to work without getting paid, so I don’t blame him 😅 Thanks for watching 👍🏼

That tail just doesn’t stop wagging. Happy dog!

I don't think he has any control over it 😅

Beautiful scenery my heart was in my mouth watching you behind the waterfall please be Careful looking forward to the next vlog

[@Roz.S]

There was plenty of room at the back of the waterfall and a clear path to it. It just seems very dramatic with all the water and the noise, but we were very careful 😇🐶 Thanks for watching.

[@dougbell5182]

Great to see that you’ve got some sunny weather at last.

[@Roz.S]

It was great to have some sunshine, but it didn't last long 😅 Thanks for watching.

[@Panzerman1951]

Wow! That's some incredible footage from behind the waterfall. Staggering scenery. Sadly my arthritic feet would not cope with the terrain. Good to see Winston having such a good time. Living the dream! Take care. Sid and Nicola, Rugby

A great experience.

[@Oldie416]

Hello, a great adventure to stand behind the waterfall, you can't see anything like that in Germany, at least I don't know about it. It's clear that Winston doesn't like that. He hears everything much louder than we do. It's nice that there are still nice, friendly people like at the last campsite, stay healthy. VG Oldie

[@Roz.S]

It wasn’t Winston’s favourite thing to do, but he was a good boy and we weren’t behind there for long. Thanks for watching 👍🏼

Best waterfall yet! Thanks so much for watching.

Winston standing still behind the waterfall just waiting for you amazes me. What a good waggy dog he is 👏👏👏

[@Roz.S]

He's very good at waiting. Tbh he's just a good boy in general 😅🐶

[@TerryB1972]

It’s Wednesday that means it’s time for another one of Roz’s amazing videos. 🤗That looks like an amazing waterfall. Loving the video Roz. These are great 👍🏻

that waterfall was used in the Batman film as the entrance to the Batcave .. great vlog 😀

[@Roz.S]

That's interesting. Thanks for sharing and watching 👍

[@Motormad196]

Another brilliant video on your Welsh adventure, Roz. And at last some blue skies! The walk behind the raging waterfall looked very dramatic, and the walkway alongside the river looked challenging. Wonder what it looks like in summer when it’s a bit drier? Glad you’ve been made very welcome on your next site, can’t wait for next week’s catchup, thankyou for taking us along.

[@Roz.S]

On the rare day that it didn't rain I still got wet by walking behind a waterfall 😂 Thanks for watching.

[@garyscott4105]

Great times. Life for living. Winston the waggy tail boy, loves life too, with his pretty lady 😊

Hi Roz, really pleased to see your latest Vlog this evening. Great waterfall adventure, also good to have a wonderful reception at the next camp site, which I have driven past on many occasions whilst enroute to my static in Pembrokeshire. Looking forward to the next instalment. Stay safe though!!🤗

[@Roz.S]

We will! Thanks so much for watching and commenting.

[@peterasacker5948]

great vid behind the falls....I got chilly watching it hahahaha

[@Roz.S]

It was a great experience. Thanks for watching.

[@MiaMidol]

Great vlog again, enjoyed the waterfall as I had never been behind one either virtually or IRL. I would say Winston was as concerned for you as he was for himself behind the waterfall his tail briefly stopped wagging at one point. Good to see a top loader I last used one in Florida, it was fantastic. Ship shape now and on to the next adventure, I look forward to your vlogs so much it makes my day to watch them.

[@Roz.S]

I don't think Winston liked the noise of the waterfall. It was very loud and almost echoed off the back walls. But his tail resumed normal function shortly after 😅👍🏼

[@matthewvaughan6327]

Wow! Very dramatic footage, Roz. You’re definitely getting braver. You’ll be potholing next. I mean the ones on the roads, but you’ve got to start somewhere🤣. Winston was fantastic as usual.

[@Roz.S]

Don't get me going about potholes 😂 I'm getting some shock absorbers fitted to my caravan next month to help with the poor road surface. I've also been thinking about making some modifications to my van because she has no off-roading capabilities and cannot cope on Britain's roads. 😅

[@matthewvaughan6327]

@@Roz.S I know what you mean. My Fiesta has developed some squeaks and rattles which I think is down to all the poorly maintained roads.

[@PedalsNPetals]

How amazing ❤

[@Roz.S]

It was a great experience.

[@silvervandriver9940]

Hands up I'm jealous 😂

[@Roz.S]

😂 It was a great mini adventure.

[@altvamp]

I've always had a thing about playing by water and maybe a bit obsessed with waterfalls, I went to Dalegarth falls a long time ago before they closed it due to storm damage and it was so hot I ended up sitting at the top of the center drop in the rock pool in the sun I had lovely weather which was lucky for that area. It's 60 ft to the bottom from there with a total drop of 150ft.

[@Roz.S]

I can't decide if that sounds lovely or terrifying 😅 I enjoy being near water, I think some survival instinct in us tells us that near water is a good thing. Thanks for watching.

[@tanyataylor3195]

Roz it's Wales you see ,it's us Welsh that give you the best welcome and the happiest 😂❤ love your vlogs love Winston I'm so glad you came to Wales and Brecon. Keep up the great videos big hugs to Winston ❤xxx

[@Roz.S]

The Welsh have been very good to me! 😀👍🏼 Thanks so much for watching and commenting. Great to hear that you enjoy our videos.

[@tanyataylor3195]

Just to say your skin always looks so fresh so radiant what's your secret xxx

[@Roz.S]

@@tanyataylor3195 Thank you so much; you're the first person to ever compliment my skin. My secret is that I suck at doing makeup so, instead, I binge-watched Dermatologist Dr. Shereene Idriss on KZbin and learned a bit more about how to look after my skin (I'm still experimenting a bit). I can put skincare products on my face better than I can foundation 😅(and if my skin looks shiny in my videos, it is because of my sunscreen.)

[@tanyataylor3195]

@@Roz.S it really does look so radiant well done I think I'll look at her on you tube for some tips ,I don't use make up only on occasions and ,definitely factor every day ❤️xxx when you come to the Gower let me know 😃👏👏👍xxxx

[@cobscamping6909]

Sorry you have had so much rain. It not normally as bad as it has been this year. On the upside it made the waterfall more spectacular 😊

[@Roz.S]

I seem to summon rain wherever I go 😂 I love waterfalls, so on this occasion it worked out in my favour 👍🏼 Thanks for watching.

Another brilliant video ! I just sit here thinking, I must go there ... Oh and there .... And there lol ! You should both get a salary from the Welsh Tourist Board. 🙂

[@Roz.S]

I'll send them an invoice when I'm finished with this series 😅 But these trails are actually really popular in the summer. They only look quiet and hidden away in my videos because I'm there in February on a week day 😅

[@timwy]

@@Roz.S Make sure you add Winston's Value Added Tail ! 🙂 Places are so much nicer when they're quiet ... As they're meant to be.

Nice one Roz 👍

Thank you 😁

[@lenybouwman5121]

The worried look on Winston’s face😊 I think the two of you are daredevils. I love your video’s

[@Roz.S]

I don't think he liked the noise of the waterfall. It was very loud and it almost echoed off the rocks. He was still a very good boy though and we weren't there for very long 🐶 Thanks for watching

[@nigelshort8669]

Loving the Brecons, I've used that campsite, if you go back I would forget Pen Y Fan and go up from the campsite the Fan Hir ridge to Fan Brycheingog taking in the two glacier lakes. Best route in the area. Looking forward to next week's episode.👏

[@Roz.S]

Well, I wish I knew that earlier 😅 Thanks for the tip, I'll put that on my list next time I visit. Thanks for watching.

[@georgewhite1972]

Winston is such a good boy. Give him a cuddle from me ❤

[@storminnorman2537]

Wow, I love the power of nature (waterfall). And be part of it.....literally! Awesome. We're visiting Brecons early May. I've been taking mental notes on where to visit. Your tour has helped, thanks for that. 👍

[@Roz.S]

Glad I could help. I'm going to do a Brecon Beacons wrap up after I have finished this series, where I will go through all my fave places, favorite campsite, costs etc. Thanks for watching.

[@storminnorman2537]

@Roz.S thanks, that'll be useful

[@frankhughes4775]

Well Roz watching your recent vlog sat in my home in Spain with an Indian takeaway on my lap and a 0.0 alcohol beer .gave alcohol up 3 years ago and lost over 3 stone lol 😅😅 Was nice to see sunshine in the end of your vlog. .. hope you and Winston are well and keep up the good content and look after yourself X

[@Roz.S]

Hope you enjoyed your takeaway! I've not had an Indian in agggeess, I may just have to treat myself. Thanks so much for watching.

Perfect vlog Roz, thanks for sharing. 👍 I’m knackered from moving house this weekend and this has been the perfect unwind with a glass of Jammy Roo!

[@Roz.S]

Happy new house day!! I hate moving house (and I've done it a lot!) but I hope you're settled shortly. Thanks so much for watching.

[@MarkN67]

@@Roz.S This is the first time since the mid 90’s I’ve done it by myself, a brand new house and a complete blank canvas, I just hope I don’t mess it up! It’s a pleasure to watch your vlogs, you put a lot of work and personality into them.

[@Roz.S]

@@MarkN67 you won’t mess it up. As long as you like it and are happy with what you do, you’ll be fine. Best of luck in the new home. Thanks so much for supporting my channel 👍🏼

[@altvamp]

Going behind waterfalls is usually quite easy if it's a vertical drop 😂

[@Roz.S]

Depends on 1) how far back the ledge goes, 2) how much water is coming over the top, and 3) if you can get to the ledge. I have been to a waterfall that you can walk behind but there was too much water coming over, it flooded the ledge, and the track to it had started to crumble. But aside from the track to this waterfall being narrow and slippy, it was pretty easy to get to 😅👍🏼 Thanks for watching 👍🏼

[@altvamp]

@@Roz.S I've been behind a few waterfalls, I've always found as long as you can get behind and there's enough water it tends to move away from the rock face because of the lip and pouring effect unless the rock face goes outwards towards the bottom, a vertical or inward slope is usually fine, you tend to get an erosion pool at the bottom as well if its a heavy flow. It's easy to see if you get at the side.

[@sallybrown7854]

Now this is going to read real silly but, I wanted to shut my eyes when you went behind the waterfall , what a nerve-racking experience and exciting at same time. It did remind me a bit when I went behind Niagara Falls in the Maid of the Mist boat. Your adventures keep coming. Winston looks so happy, you do too. Obviously over his pulled ligament. Thanks for taking us along with you. So enjoyed.

[@Roz.S]

I think the music made it more dramatic. Going behind Niagara Falls has got be 10x more nerve-wracking 😱 I'd love to do that one day. Thanks so much for watching.

[@markwilliamson2864]

That path into the waterfall looked slippery and very, very narrow! Didn’t understand your comment about happy people, why would anyone not be happy when they get to meet Roz and Winston!😊

[@Roz.S]

It was a bit narrow, hence I couldn't video at the same time. But we took our time and made it through 👍🏼 P.S. I don't think that I'm that approachable in real life 😂 Thanks for watching.

[@tomball5133]

Much better background music Roz

[@Roz.S]

Thank you. I think the music is the hardest part. I need tracks that are copyright free, fit the scene, that are the right length, and that most people would like. And I need several tracks for each video. I spend most of my time listening to track and, after a while, they all start to sound the same 😂😂

I think the power in that waterfall is awesome and it's almost like a racing heartbeat the closer you get to it(or that might just be mine). Winston had his head screwed on by not wanting to get too close but at one point looked a bit concerned for his mum! It is lovely to find so many nice,kind people (we are out there)and it was a sunny day which also helps! Looking forward to what walks this new site has in store for you both.Safe travels.

[@Roz.S]

Winston was a good boy staying at the back until it was time for us to walk back to the front. The sunny weather was very much appreciated and it made a a huge difference. Thanks for watching.

Hi Roz really enjoying your tour of Wales - showing us all the bits we missed! Curious where you find your walks - do you use an app or just find them locally?

Okay..so here's my secret ...I use an app called AllTrails (also available on desktop) and you can search for a location and it will give you all the nearby walks. You can then filter by distance, difficulty, and rating. [This message will now self-destruct.]
