Defender Road Trip | Overlanding in Wales

Overland road trip in the Land Rover Defender 110 Camper. Exploring Mid Wales. Wild camping by the Welsh mountains and next to a stunning reservoir.
5 days sleeping in the Alu-Cab Gen 3 expedition rooftop tent. We had some awesome sunny days, mountain snow followed by 28 hours of winds and rain. Cooking on the Petromax firepit.

Hi mr & mrs B. We were the 2 guys in the green Land Rovers that bumped into you on the side of the reservoir. Thanks for the action on your vid.

[@angelapinnock3793]

Thanks Mr n Mrs B👌 A great follow up, as you said, to the Dartmoor trip. I always remember Wales being wet and over the years our church has had conventions there in June, it still can be cold but there can be lovely warm days as well🌻☀️🌤🌦🙂

[@suekniveton2995]

You are our main supplier for wonderful hats, cheers mate 👍👍

@@BushwackerOverland Outstanding. When you need another hat just let me know.

Wales is a bit like Scotland if you don't like the weather give it 15 minutes and its all change. Fair play sitting it out for the day.

Looks like you got lucky with the weather Mr B

[@AggyGoesOutdoors]

Ok, got lucky right up until the last days 🌧️

[@BushwackerOverland]

We had a great mixed bag of weather 👍👍

[@Benny_of_DK]

These are some pretty narrow roads they have in Wales, if you meet another car one of you has to back several kilometers. The first night it was not where Becky had pitched his tent right down at the water's edge on an early trip. The chicken troms look better over open fire than otherwise, the fridge again. 😁

[@BushwackerOverland]

You are very observant, yes that first spot is where Becky camped 👍👍That fridge might need a new door soon 👍👍

[@Benny_of_DK]

@@BushwackerOverland I will admit that the door hangs quite a bit. 🤣

[@smokinggar714]

Another thing I can remember is going to see and hear on February 10th or the 11th hard to remember it so long ago but we went to Wigmore Hall in London and heard the Mozart Players concert was great. In Joy mate

[@BushwackerOverland]

Sounds great 👍👍

[@christianjimbomb8204]

There is a couple of other sayings that Jeremiah Johnson could have said, that ,the early bird gets the worm And a bird in the hand is worth more than 2 in the Bush

[@BushwackerOverland]

wise sayings from a wise man 👍

forgot to add- beautiful photography

Jeremiah Johnstone ( never heard of hi, but I imagine from the wild west days), would have been fending off wild bears and spear fishing for his dinner , and not calling on Mrs B. to bring him dinner in bed !! Love your Overland vlogs.

Lots of great places which i find on google earth 👍👍

[@peterscott7140]

@@BushwackerOverland I think that I recognise some of the places you go to but thanks for not letting on exact names. Such places should be visited only by those who seek them out themselves and not lazily following the adventures of others.

I just watched Jeremiah Johnson. It was the most heartbreaking movie I have ever seen.

Lovely setup you have there Dave... Can you tell me what brand are your water can carriers are please? After watching one of your uploads here last year, I got myself a Petromax and OMG am I soooooooo pleased with it. Its just the best for sure! I also have the Dutch Oven and the Coffee Perc and Im amazed with it all...

[@BushwackerOverland]

I have the front runner, and a ridge monkey water carrier. So pleased you like the Petromax gear 👍👍

[@kimberleyganderson2917]

Hi, we are new to camping and love watching your videos. How do you choose where to pitch up? Are there rules as to where you can? We have been choosing owned sites but would love to start going more wild. Thanks 😊

[@BushwackerOverland]

I research on google earth 👍👍

Went and had a look last week. Gated at bottom of the lane and locked. With sign directing to nearby NT Parking. Such a shame.

Only just got notified of replies lol Will have to come say hi next time your in the area but I’m guessing people Escaping Covid there caused the farmer to take action I’ll have to hope that he opens up soon
