We're up on Cadaair Idris and Nathan says he's tired but Trev he's all excited and feeling kind of wired.They take a walk and then it snows, yipee it's time for tea.Hot chocolate done,we'll have some fun and play a silly game."we might return as poets we might return just mad" Your journeys are a simple joy that makes my heart feel glad xx

[@SummitOrNothing]

Hahha... Jane, however did I miss this. Just brilliant. Loved it! Thank you very much!

[@chriswolf1277]

I’m glad you’ve found your calling in life guys it doesn’t matter weather it’s motorbikes scuba diving or waking up on a mountain while the rest of the world still sleeps leaving the rat race behind and finding some inner peace are priceless moments in a mad crazy world I truly believe that if doctors prescribed wild camping to people suffering with depression it could save a few lives from taking the wrong path and keeping their head above water. I’ll see you out there...

[@SummitOrNothing]

I completely agree with you, Chris. Walking, and the outdoors is good for the mind bosy and soul for sure. Thanks for watching!

[@hadz8671]

Just found your channel and I love it - unlike the "experts" you are just two regular guys (and obviously great friends), and consequently your videos relate much better to my own experiences in the hills.

[@SummitOrNothing]

Thanks very much - really glad that you found us and that you are enjoying our content. Thanks for commenting!

[@everydaysounds3015]

been up today.when i got up there i had a sudden urge to shout out summit or nothin!

[@SummitOrNothing]

Brilliant!!! Let your inner beast out haha

[@georgedpost]

In the U.S.A. that dance is called "The Floss." Nath, for all that is right and good, do NOT let Trev ever do that dance again. My eyeballs are still bleeding. Liked the additional footage, thanks guys.

[@SummitOrNothing]

Dont worry George - I have promised never.... EVER... to let myself fall foul of the floss or any other current fad again.

[@tekrite]

Watched a few of your other videos, but just wanted to say this one perfectly captured that feeling of the wild camping madness and joy. Amazing to hear the story behind some of your motivation for getting out, there's always time to start exploring and enjoying new experiences. Great job, lads!

[@SummitOrNothing]

Thanks Simon, really glad that you enjoyed the video, and great to hear that we have successfully captured the experience. All the best, and thanks for watching!

[@paulcomptonpdphotography]

You two made a fun watch I’ll check out a few more. I take it that that is quite a walk. I fancy doing it

[@seamanjive]

Well done lads...I've wanted to climb the Cader for the last 25 years since I first stayed in a cottage near Dolgellau. Made a couple of starts but the weather always packed up and I didn't think I had the right gear This film has convinced me I've got to give it another go. Thx for sharing, brilliant inspirational vid!

[@SummitOrNothing]

Thanks very much for watching, and always glad when we help to give the nudge needed to encourage others. Hope you enjoy the mountain and that the weather is a bit better for you next time. All the best!

Happy to show you.

I kept thinking, that tent looks a bit close to the edge. The wind came out of nowhere when I was up there on a scorching hot clear day. Swirled around for a minute picking up loose stuff from the ground, then was gone.

[@alanrowland398]

Fun to watch !.... Great chemistry between you two ..... Ive been up Cadair a couple of times and hope to wild camp there this year 2022 ! ..... what was the ground like where you pitched ? Did the pegs go in easily ?

Great video and thanks for sharing! Quick question, I understand that you cant park overnight in the official car parks. Is there easy overnight parking nearby? Im looking at doing this myself soon! Thanks in advance Simon

Sorry to have missed your commennt Simon, hope you managed to find a parking spot... we actually got there real early in the morning (2am) and kipped in the overnight car park (slap wrists all round haha)
