[@Kev.B.4311]

Awesome, this was the 1st place that I went to in North Wales when I was just 15, that was 37 short years ago...😐 Stayed at an Activity Youth Hostel, up high from a main village road that had a few small shops, Hostel was right on a massive lake, did kayaking, rock climbing, absailing, camped in some serious rain near marshland close to a dam on route to Snowdon, drank from streams & rain water collected in pans during night, climbed some scary places, walked through clouds, scrambled up the final yards to Snowdon & got blasted by the wind on the summit, got some pics somewhere in loft & a diary of route taken with coordinates, I remember my meal on the trek back & ill tell ya now that a small cold can of beans never tasted so good...!✔️💯👍🙂

"Indy, take the left tunnel! The left tunnel! No, Indy! You missed it! Left tunnel"!! 😂 wow wee 😮 what a spectacular place 👍

Hi 👋 in my opinion humble as it is, this was the best blog by far!! As you commented it brings out explore in us all, love it, well done 👍👍

[@GarethZoeWildcamps]

Thank you so much Ernie, really glad you enjoyed watching😊

Fantastic video,, all the gunge on the wall below the brake, on the cable drum 🤯,, bet there were some sparks flying, on full braking power,, 🤯🤣🤣🤣

[@zenithpe]

Great Post again, need to get up there. Cheers guys

[@DUCato-ed3fw]

I'm on a solo in Wales from Suffolk & I was thinking what to do & this came up, so I went there today in the drizzle. Fences, caves, sketchy drops, goats the lot. Great timing guys 👍😁

[@chrish3305]

I love these adventures, day at a time released over a few weeks - great format. Truly brilliant location, what a sight. Thanks for sharing, as always

[@tonyp011]

wow Gareth and Zoe these caves and paths look like something out of the computer game which is the Tomb Raider series and Lara Croft running and jumping along the narrow paths etc, i wonder if this is where the games creators got the scenery ideas from lol

[@GarethZoeWildcamps]

Definitely worth a visit if you're passing Tony. Every Wales video we posted in 2023 (quite a few) was in an awesome location. Love visiting Wales 😍

[@thenextadventure8079]

Another great video. We love all the exploring that you do as well as the camping! Can really see how much you enjoyed that old slate mine. Clever use of footage that you both take too, it’s inspiring us to do the same.

[@pauledwards499]

Cracking place for photography. Thanks 👍

[@GarethZoeWildcamps]

Absolutely

[@RonOutdoors]

I've been to Llanberis many a time and climbed snowdon each time. There was one time when I could of sworn the whole of Wales was closed. It's about time I went up that slate mountain instead. Thanks guys. Ronoutdoors.

[@GarethZoeWildcamps]

Yeah you'd love it Ron. Very interesting place and we only showed a very small selection of what's actually up there. The video could have quite easily been 4 hours long lol

[@pagan8274]

Another great video. Always look forward to new ones . Keep up the good work

[@Orangehippo17]

im deffo going there, following your footsteps so to speak, i could spend a few days somewhere like that awesome place awesome video

[@GarethZoeWildcamps]

You should, it's awesome. You'll probably be very interested in some of our past / future vids if you like this kinda place.

Did you see Tim the enchanter there by chance? (MP, Holy Grail)

[@mrbillmacneill]

absolutely fascinating place ! Best Yet ! what did they make from this slate ? pool tables?

[@blackbob3358]

Could'nt help thinking ,is there is a drop of "auto suggestion" there , at 2.20. That "event" is seared in to my brain. I was 12.

[@ramblinonandon]

I was 12 years old as well. Terrible tragedy. 😢

[@michaelrender1584]

Brilliant video guys you are both braver than I am real toe curling stuff that I wouldn't want to go near any of them edges makes me dizzy just watching it on the screen

[@alanthomas6025]

My grandfather worked here all his working life until it shut in 1969,his lungs were badly affected by the slate dust.

Still no shortage of quality Welsh slate.

Sorry to say this but, the channel isn't just about wild camping. If you look at their "about" section it clearly states much more.

[@GarethZoeWildcamps]

Thanks Richy. Some people like to dictate what they think you should film / post! We don't call ourselves a 'wild camping' channel (not done for years) We're just 'us' fucking about (mainly outdoors & camping related). We hope Glyn finds what he's looking for elsewhere.

[@martianleaderrichy1520]

[@angelah2083]

It's an adventure - that's what matters. There are plenty of 'wild camping' videos out there that are nothing more than equipment reviews. Thank you as ever G & Z.
