Starting a 100mile Trail through South Wales! Beacons Way | Weekend One

Weekend one of four, tackling the first two days of the Beacons Way (Abergavenny to Crickhowell). Here, we begin in the town of Abergavenny before being quickly transported up into the hills. I've never hiked this area before so I was interested to see if it holds up to the beauty of the mountians beyond. We carried everything we needed with us and had a wildcamp halfway along. I was so surprised how quickly the trail heads up into the breathtaking scenery of this area.
Hope you enjoy this installment!

That Grayl water filter is just about the best that you can buy it even removes pesticides and fertilizer residues and I don't know of any other filters that do so. I have one and I'd drink just about any water once it's been through the Grayl. Nice video, thanks.

Did a two night hike and camp round that part of Wales a number of years ago. Filled up my bottle from that same river, boiled the water, but had a bad stomach for a good few days after i got back. There are a lot of farms and roads that water runs down till it gets to that part of the river 🐑 Later experience, i took water from a fresh stream coming out of rocks on the mountainside and had no problems at all

Interesting! Glad we didn't risk it then - as you say, we would also normally just be collecting from mountian rivers with no issue

I really enjoyed that Ellie end to end. Well, hills from the off signals what's ahead. I've been up the Skirrid a number of times - great 360 views. I never knew you were Hammocking - that was a cool surprise. No doubt a good nights kip. With the water off it was good to reach Llanthony Id imagine. I do love the area and the tops heading back on your loop. I was up there camping the other week - on channel if interested. Well, with partrishow church and sunset on table mountain a result I'd say. What a great section. All the best out there. Mark

Hi Mark! Thankyou so much for your lovley comments 😁 Yes, we love to hammock whenever possible - easy to find hidden wildcamps and, as you say, a very comfortable sleep too! It was a great hike, and I'd definitely recommend it so far :) Part Two is already up aswell! I'll be sure to check out your channel - All the best, happy adventuring 😁

@@EllieParkerYT A pleasure Ellie - got your next one lined up. Yeah, you looked at home in the hammock and in the big hills. I know the area. Re-my channel/vid in your own time. Peace.
