Surviving Mother Nature's Fury | A Wet, Wild & Windy Weekend Solo Wild Camping in the Brecon Beacons

The plan was simple, a solo hike and wild camping adventure in the heart of Wales tackling the challenge of the Welsh big four: Fan y Big, Corn Du, Cribyn and Pen y Fan, all towering above the enchanting landscapes of the Brecon Beacons National Park.
The journey started under stunning blue skies, encountering inquisitive bullocks, majestic Welsh mountain ponies and skittish sheep along the way.
On Mother Natures whim the weather soon took a dramatic turn, unleashing thick fog, howling winds and relentless rain! Soggy was not the word, and put both my gear and spirit to the test.
The Lanshan tent performed amazingly well and was perfect for this trip, helping to keep the pack weight down. Wringing my boxers out on night one was definitely not one of the highlights though!
Spirits were definitely lifted savouring the crunkle juice from Northern Monk with their DDH IPA and Vocation Imperial Chocolate & Banana Stout, two of my favourite producers of some very tasty boozy goodness that warms the cockles.
The Wellington Bomber wreckage and monument were a particularly moving sight and a very grounding to see.
As always thanks for watching!

That seemed like an easy-going trip, but you didn't show 'nature's fury.' Nothing like being in a tent when, it is raining. The bonus from bad weather is that you have the mountains to yourself. ATB Cheers from the mountains of NZ ☺☺

A lardy bearded bloke wringing his boxers out from torrential rain is something no one needs or wants to see!!! 👀😂 You've got some stunning mountains and scenery in that part of the world, hope you can make the most of it at every opportunity 🥰

I sure do make the most of it. I am on my 46 tramp (hike) so far this year. Being a guide and bushcraft instructor, I average 60 tramps a year. I think that you would be in your element here. Mountains, rivers, hundreds of streams with no names. Pure paradise. Cheers☺
