Camped on Cefn (Keven) Hill an outlier of the Black Mountains and source of the river Monnow with my mate Jay Macalees son of infamous mercenary Pete Macaleese (Killing Escobar). It's his BA honors in photography end of course show and he's chosen me as his subject because I'm a bit of a river nut having walked every river of the Wye. We find a secluded pitch with great views of the mighty Hay Bluff and the entire Eastern Escarpment of the Black Mountains. I enjoy a curry and we speak about Pete Macalees and my father who would curry anything in the SAS - it's SAS culture but not as you know it. Later we enjoy an amazing evening with a bonus camp fire courtesy of a fire pit and scar already there. The morning looking down the Monnow valley was superb.

Hi Mark, Jason and Henry 🐕, no better person to help your friend out.Thank you for the awesome adventures.💙❤️💙👍

[@WyeExplorer]

Yeah, happy to be of service to Jason - he's very generous as a friend. Re-Henry - he's just amazing and mellow. A pleasure top share. Mark

[@andrewnorris2]

Always good to be in special places! My neighbour, Tona, burns sheep's wool to make a dense smoke to keep the wild boar and badgers away from his maize fields. Your affinity with Paul is nothing the rest of us can understand. It is certainly something special that only the two of you shared and that you feel him close in such environments must be a comfort, and its a stunning location to camp and feel him close.

[@WyeExplorer]

I agree Andrew - we can't overdo a visit to a special place. I've just been told that sheep's wool needs some intense heat - makes sense that it will smoke from what I experienced. Re-Paul he was so close - I kept seeing him come up through inside me. Ah, it was the hill Andrew - he loved it there. It is a comfort. Many thanks. Mark

[@bumblejennybee88]

Hi Mark! It was such a lovely video full of interest. Jason seems like a great guy, not letting his injury restrict him! I hope he does well in his degree! How beautiful your moment with your Paul, I really hope it gives you much comfort knowing he is always with you and you with him. Stunning place to camp and take in those views. Definitely an added bonus of a camp fire. I wish I could understand why people leave rubbish - they carry the bottles there, so it's no effort to carry them back! Anyway, thankfully those kind of people are in the minority!! Really enjoyed the video Mark... you take care, Jenny.

[@WyeExplorer]

Hi Jenny, just picked this comment up - didn't show when posted. Yeah, Jase a has a good heart and is determined. Ah, those moments with Paul's spirit are out of this world. I love them. Re-the spot it's a face for sure views and all - going back this Saturday to pick them bottles up. I just can't leave them there. They're babies - we have to pick up after then. Thanks Jenny-always appreciated. Have a great weekend. Mark

[@anitaevans2432]

What a fabulous subject for a photography exhibition 😉 lots of luck to Jason with his degree. I loved this video Mark. It's always special to see glimpses of Hay Bluff... the view from my old bedroom window, along with Twmpa. I miss the area so much & often think of returning. Earlier this year sheep farmers were protesting about poor wool prices by burning the wool. Logic says that the lanolin in it must be flammable but apparently it has to be a powerful heat source for it to burn. I suppose that's why it's sometimes used for house insulation. Happy walking!

[@WyeExplorer]

Hi there Anita - good to gear from you. Ha, me the subject - I'm happy for that - hope Jason does well. Re-the bluff and area I'm always happy that it resonates. I know how it feels to see it - hope you can visit. Call me and we'll walk. As far as the sheep's wool is concerned it just wasn't taking. Your analogy makes sense - I mean the insulation. Well, always good - many thanks. Take care out there. Mark

[@TheGirlGoneNomad]

Henry is absolutely gorgeous! The perfect camera assistant. Though he looked a little miffed with the offer of bread over sausage curry. Hope you got some good shots and the exhibition is a success. A thoughtful moment by the fire, a time with Paul. Looks like you had a restful night camping and greeted with glorious morning skies. Shame to see the rubbish left behind, we can only try to leave a place better than how we found it hey. Hope you have a good week Mark, all the best.

[@WyeExplorer]

Hi there Betty, yeah Henry is adorable. Mellow as....even when not getting fed. We did get some great shots thanks and the exhibition is coming along. Re-Paul he kept arising from within - I was him numerous times. It was odd but super nice. Yeah, a good night had. AS for the rubbish people - they're babies aren't they? I went back yesterday and cleaned up the rest. Thanks Betty - always good. Take care. Mark

[@JamieHarding5]

Good morning Mark. I watched and enjoyed it on the tv. Another good one mate. Very easy to sit back relax and enjoy. Beautiful spot and beautiful views. You and your mate seem to have a lot in common. Good curry😁👍 I can sit and watch a good fire for hours, looks like dogs can too. You are very honest and say it as it is, I like that. Nicely shared that you cried when you walked on your own. My best mate has an older brother and sister. He used to say to me twins are weird😂 When his sisters went into labor he said his bro had stomach pains too. I don't know, crazy bond though that not many will experience or understand. Keep caring and sharing. Well done taking the bottles you could carry👍 All the best mate👋

[@WyeExplorer]

Alright there Jamie, thanks mate - I really appreciate your kind and supportive words. For sure a great space to gather the self especially around the fire - that was a bonus. Re-me speaking of Paul and me shedding a tear it was profound up there - I kept seeing him through me. I think that's what brought it on. Yes, we had a far out bond in life - we fought to mind you. But we never fought over the environment bottles and all - that we agreed upon. Many thanks Jamie. Take care out there. Mark

[@DesmondsDonders]

Great video, we brought back a huge bag of rubbish from one walk on our last trip. People are so thoughtless. "Meeting" Jason was great. Thanks for taking us along.

[@WyeExplorer]

Hi Dave, glad you liked this outing mate. Totally with you on your efforts to clean up there. They've lost their minds. Re-Jason pleased you resonated with him. All the best up there. Mark

That's a great camping spot Mark and a lovely morning to wake up to... The words you spoke about Paul were quite touching and appreciate the honesty... I've got a couple of days in the Black Mountains coming up and hoping to do Hay Bluff this time... Thanks for sharing Mark

[@WyeExplorer]

Hi there Nathan, for sure bro an awesome spot and morning. I'm happy you resonate with my words. I never expected to feel that way but I did. All the best on the bluff - I look forward to that one. A pleasure. Mark

[@360OutdoorAdventures]

That looked like a great camp Mark, it looks a stunning place. The curry looked really good simple but tasty. What a resilient guy Jay must be that sounded horrendous. Thanks for sharing buddy. As I'm writing this looks like you have replied to an other comment on another video. 👌👌

[@WyeExplorer]

Hi Garry, yeah it's a special place mate - one that's kind of sacred to me. The curry was dead basic but hey you got that right - tasty. Re-Jay he's like his dad a tough Ombre. A pleasure to share. Yes, commented on your latest. All the best out there. Mark

Hi Mark, looks like you had a great wild camp with perfect weather and views, nice putting the world to rights looking into that fire into the night time, in spirit your brother must have been about, nice one for clearing the emptys cheers nigel

[@WyeExplorer]

Hi there Nige, yeah perfect weather that made for a great camp. For sure we discuss the issues of the day - love that around the fire as well as the more reflective and personal things such as my dear Paul. Oh yeah, he was right there inside of me. As for the empties I went back the other weekend and cleaned the rest up. Cheers Nigel - appreciated. Mark

[@johnfletcher9907]

Lovely video. I had no idea Jase lost an arm it must have been truly terrible to go through but he doesn’t look to have been affected very much, he seems as determined and driven as I remember him. Also didn’t know his old man had died, very sad.

[@WyeExplorer]

Hi there John, yeah Jase has been through a bit of a time. He lost his mum Marlene during rehab too-forgot to mention her sweet soul. For sure he's a motivated man. All the best out there. Mark

Another Beautiful spot Mark,we do live in a fabulous part of the country, even the world,.Wow,Jason is hell of a chap,just getting on with life,I guess that's his upbringing. You have great fire building skills man.I can never understand it Mark,people go to these glorious spots,and then leave rubbish, I can't understand the mentality. Loved the fire side chat.Off to Monmouth the weekend, so will be by the Monnow again.have a good one.

[@WyeExplorer]

Hey, thanks there old mate. Oh, without doubt our region is as good as any on the UK. Re-Jason he's a tough cookie - yeah his family have something to do with that. I do like to build a nice fire but not in the company of mindless rubbish. As far as the fire chat is concerned Paul was the close I could only but cry. I was happy for it. All the best in Monmouth - hope it's a great weekend. Mark

Hey Mark, your friend has a good subject! Hope the results of the shoot were all good? Great subject, photography, absorbing & makes you look at stuff in so many different ways Nice to see you had canine company too, really cute little fella. Why oh why can’t some people be arsed to take their litter out?! Really grinds my gears, that 😡 But great views & a lovely spot. Magical to have such a connection with Paul ❤️ All the best, be looking out for the next one 😊 Sue

[@WyeExplorer]

Alright there Sue, ah I was happy to help-the results were fantastic. Little Henry is adorable - so mellow. Re-the rubbush I'm off back there today on my own to puck the rest of the rubbish up. They're little babies aren't they? For sure brilliant views. As for my connection with Paul he just kept emerging from within. It was emotional. Many thanks. Mark

Really enjoyed this video Mark, great location and story of why you're there. You certainly did grow up around some really interesting people. I remember reading No Mean Soldier when I was a young soldier. Peter certainly lived an interesting life. The bonus fire pit was a blessing and yes sheeps wool isn't great tinder.

[@WyeExplorer]

Hi there Mike, yeah a fabulous space - but hated the rubbish. Ah, there's a lot of regiment family in Hereford - we know each other and some have lived far out lives like their dads. Re-Pete he had been around the block and some more. He lived! I found that out about the wool - odd! But hey got a good one going. Thanks old mate. Take care out there. Mark

[@FXWalesAnnaAlf]

That was great Mark, its so good that you are the subject for Jays project. This place is so beautiful and perfect for his photography exhibition. Your camp spot looked lovely and Cefn Hill is beautiful, nice that there are ponies and sheep up there with beautiful views all around too including Pen y Fan 😃 So sad to hear of Jasons accident, he does so well with one arm by the sound of it, what an inspiration. Never had or heard of sausage curry Mark but I'm going to try it tonight now ! Loved the look of the camp fire and how you stayed up having time alone too in a gorgeous location. Lovely morning with the sound of nature and so bad that peiple leave rubbish there, well done for placing on clearing it . Great watch and hope the exhibition goes well 🙏Cant leave another like so will leave this 🙂👏 ~ Anna

[@WyeExplorer]

Hey, Anna - great comment. Yeah, I'm honored to be asked by him - we've known each other a long time and I knew this place would be ideal for him ponies, views, sheep and all. And oh yeah Pen Y Fan. Jason's lucky to be alive but it's been a real trial his hand and arm - the amount of ops. He's done amazingly well. As for the curry go for it with your best sausage. Tasty! Re-the fire it was good to chat with Jase then think about me and Paul. I found it emotional up there - he loved that hill and he kept emerging from within. Amazing! As for the rubbish - they're babies and ill. We clean up after babies and ill people. Thanks Anna - I'm sure the exhibition will be great. All the best. Mark

Hi Mark , think this is one of my favourite of your videos, really nice chilled relaxed Vlog with lovely positive energy. I know Cefn Hill but never been up there , wow what amazing views of the Hay Bluff and Eastern escarpment. Interesting to know about the Monnow, had no idea that river source was there! Jason seems very good fun and what a great attitude and positivity after what an awful accident. The SAS curry’s made me laugh , nice memories of Paul there too. Thanks for showing us that lovely place P.s- views down that Monnow valley with the cats back on the right were incredible..

[@WyeExplorer]

Hi there Adam, thanks mate. I can see why you like it - the space and the relaxed feel, the nice day even. Yeah, you'll see Cefn Hill from the Bluff - one that's ignored for all the big ones. But the views are incredible - just the shape of the mountains and the Monnow valley. I hope you walk it one day. Jase is a tough cookie. He's come through a lot and yeah he's a laugh. Re-the curry's my dad, Lofty and Jason's dad would indeed curry anything. I was eating it as a baby. And as for Paul - well I had some special visions and feelings. Many thanks old mate. Take care out there. Mark

Hi Mark, what a great spot to pick for a campsite, stunning. I have read about some of Jason's Dads escapades. He certainly had an interesting life, sad to hear of his passing. Quadrant Park, it's a long time since I have heard that. When I was doing The Autumn Leaf treatment of The Railway line that ran past it, we used to use the Quadie as a marker to switch on the equipment as we rode past it heading in either direction on the Ormskirk Line. Happy Days mate 👍👍

Nice one Mark, another nice camp mate . I noticed a couple of buzzards above you when you were eating your curry. I once knew a guy who had a similar injury to Jason, the guy i knew used fly fish with the use of one arm. Cracking morning to wake up to , stunning .. I dont understand these people who can carry stuff in and cant take it back out , its a major problem in the honey pot camping areas up here ..Good vid as usual bro ...cheers Stevie

[@WyeExplorer]

Alright there Stevie, yeah it was a good camp - not far to walk but awesome space. Ah, buzzards and all - nice! Re-your mate and Jason - we don't realize just what these limbs do for us once they're gone. Hats off to those challenged in this way. Jase is doing stella. As for the babies leaving rubbish - we clean up after babies eh? Thanks stevie - take care out there. Mark

[@WyeExplorer]

Alright there Luke, yeah great views - I never tire of them or the space here. Hey, good to hear how you approach the litter. They're ill and it's the only fitting response. Take care. Mark

NIce one Mark. I'm away all this week, so I'll catch up with this at the weekend or early next week. Look forward to watching 👍

[@WyeExplorer]

Hey, nice one Patrick. Have a great rest of the week. Mark

[@solitaryrambler]

@@WyeExplorer I really enjoyed that as always Mark. Beautiful spot where you camped on Cefn Hill, nice to see where location of the source of the Monnow. Hey I think that's great being chosen as the subject for Jason's photography honors, no-one will know the Wye tributaries any more than you. Loved the fireside feelings of Paul you shared and enjoyed the sound of nature around you like the cuckoo and the sheep the next morning. I did laugh when you talked about currying crap food up to make it taste better 😂 I must admit I enjoy a good curry too. Great camp Mark with good company again. All the best 👍

[@WyeExplorer]

@@solitaryrambler Hi, Patrick - glad you enjoyed this one. For sure it's an amazing spot - the Monnow headwaters and valleys is a fave. I'm happy to help Jason - that's what I thought firstly but yeah I do know em all Patrick. Re-Paul he just kept showing up inside me - ah it was emotional and as hood as the cuckoo. Ha, yeah curry - we all love it on these isles eh? But they would curry anything the regiment. Well, many thanks old friend. Take care out there. Mark

[@fahimreza03]

It looked like an amazing adventure. What gear do you recommend for someone planning their first secluded wild camp? ⛺ Just joined your Insta fam! 🌟 Super stoked to see all the awesome content you'll be sharing. Let’s stay connected and keep the good vibes rolling! 📸✨

[@WyeExplorer]

Hi there. Yeah, a good overnight camp. Gear? Well, that's a long list - maybe start with the 3 main ones - tent, sleeping bag and your cooking kit. Many thanks. Mark
