Join my friend and I Andy as we head for the Nant Suddion Bothy in the Cambrian Mountains via a super Gnarly route through the forest. We had 3 bus delays, which meant coming in at night. This though made for the spirit of the Nant Syddion. Inside we settled in but found the most disgusting left overs. Watch to see what that was and what we did about it.

Mark you are the best, what a brilliant video. I didn’t realise the bothy you were in until you showed the morning view and 4 years ago at the end of October I was there with my Dad and brother for my Dads 83rd birthday but we didn’t leave anything behind 🎉. When I recently stayed in Claredu bothy I filled 4 large bin liners with other peoples rubbish 🙈, it’s close to the road so could easily be collected by the water company who maintains it. 2 fishermen were in there that night they were very nice guys, they parked close by. They were gone by the time we got up but left 8 empty cans and other rubbish behind, it was hard to comprehend as they seemed good people but obviously fucking idiots. 😂. Anyway Mark you must be feeling a lot fitter now than of late which is great. Kind regards to you both and thanks for a great video. ATB 🙏💯

[@WyeExplorer]

Hey, all credit to the Bothy and Cambrian Dave. hey, just taken a look and saved your trip for viewing. It is a fantastic place - so good to picture your dad and you guys there. I bet you're pleased about that. Yeah, the world is ill Dave. Good on you for taking the rubbish out too. As for the fisherman I can see the surprise. Yes, feeling stronger but still came out strained - a bit to go but as you know we need to get out so happy for this short trip. A pleasure to share. All the best. Mark

[@EventyrsorenDenmark]

Love the Hut.Looks like a really nice place to visit and stay overnigth. Thanks for the great watch.Have a wonderful day.

Hey, Soren, yeah it's a good old mountain cottage in an awesome location. A pleasure to share bro. All the best. Mark

[@michaelrawson6261]

Oh Mark! Wat an amazing video! I hesitate to say this, for fear of upsetting you, but u know who would've LOVED this walk!? Andy is a good, good man, I know him, but I don't think he knows me.. I'm sorry the bothy was so untidy, Paul would have been furious! I'm glad you tidied up and made a fist of it, I'd love to see you out there my Brother, love and peace, Mike R

[@WyeExplorer]

Hi Mike, many thanks mate - glad you liked this outing. Ah, mate this was well up Paul's valley so to speak. He was with me all the time. I didn't show anyone but I put two identical conckers from home in the window sill. Yes, Andy is a good man and good to hike with too. Re- the rubbish we took it out in the end. The burner is in mint condition now. Many thanks Mike. I hope you're well mate. Mark

[@JimTimber]

The bothy looks awesome at night with the candles !! The food looks epic mate ! I do enjoy a meat free meal as well !! Oh Lordy though bro !! ..the tale about the quadruplets.. now that's freaking me out again ..like the film I mentioned !! lol ..I wouldn't get a winks kip in there knowing that tale !! lol Beautiful location there mate !! ..stunning scenery !! This is the best video you have ever done bro !.. awesome !!

[@WyeExplorer]

It is a picture and a great atmosphere Andy. I liked it coming back from the river. I recommend that Richmonds chargrill meat free - well tasty. Yeah, gotta reduce the meat we eat. I still eat meat but not as much. Ha ha, me and Andy were hoping form a visitation - didn't get the full on one we had hoped but there was a presence. Totally, agree - an awesome location. Hey, credit to the Bothy. All the best bro. Mark

[@Kababoes]

Thanks for taking me along this amazing hike Mark, including a cozy evening in a fantastic cottage. Let this cleanup leave a sense of pride instead of annoyance. Keep on going bro. Cheers, Hans

[@WyeExplorer]

Hi there Hans, glad you liked this one bro. Yeah, a great location for a mountain bothy - a bugger about the litter bugs. Yes, good to clean up. Many thanks my friend. All the best over there. Mark

[@ervinslens]

Absolutely gorgeous episode, what a beautiful shots! 👏👏

[@WyeExplorer]

Hey, cheers there bro. Yeah, a good time had. Mark

[@FlyingHaggisFilms]

Nice location and clear delight in you voice. I love remote rural cottages although becoming rare. The sound of a stream, melencoly clouds and atmospheric landscape heals the soul. Stay well. Harry

[@WyeExplorer]

Alright Harry, thanks for popping in. Yes, a top space in which to spend time, which for sure was translated in my voice. Healing without doubt. Have a good weekend. Mark

[@RiverbendlongbowsOutdoors]

Pretty cool Mark 👍🏻 It's too bad there are people out there that don't respect things. Thanks for taking us along

Hey there Ray, good to hear from you. Glad you enjoyed this one. Yeah, what a bugger these people exist eh? A pleasure as always bro. All the best over there. Mark

[@lifesahobby]

Good morning from me . Lovely to have sich a nice adventure to watch . Difficult terrain but worth it . I love how you refer to the madness as just interesting 😂. Good stuff guys .

[@WyeExplorer]

Hey dude, good day to you. Like I enjoy a gnarly approach. Gets things pulsating a bit. Well, the madness is that for sure - fair few questions it invokes. Many thanks. Mark

[@lifesahobby]

The fire full of hidden rubbish is very upsetting. I think the respect that you have didnt grow on a tree , it will come to those people eventually . Its a pity that it wasnt part of education for too long , but things are changing brother . The nore they get out , the more respect a person has for their environment. Its our job to just hike as much of it to a bin as we can . One piece at a time . Your candlelit evening was perfect looking shot , i really felt like i was there Peace

[@WyeExplorer]

I'd love to dump in their home or garden. I agree even if it takes a lifetime awareness will come in some shape or form. We took all the rubbish out after - it was about a 4 mile hike back. Glad you felt the atmosphere. All the best. Mark

[@NBNatureTrailvan]

Just wonderful again Mark. Love watching your films. That’s some hike in and a lovely peaceful Bothy. And then the fire. Utter prats. No wonder you were pissed off mate. Good on you for clearing up their mess. A very atmospheric place with such a sad story backing there. Unimaginable really. But the ghosts were watching over you guys I think. And those fantastic views in the morning. That looks a special place Mark. Mesmerising film as always 🙏🙏🙏. Thanks for sharing your trip with us.

[@WyeExplorer]

Hi Dave, thanks - really appreciate that. Yeah, a decent approach in and loved it at night - the bothy had atmosphere and the fire was welcome apart from that rubbish. For sure furious. Re-the family they were on our minds - what a tragedy. To think they would have enjoyed similar views but minus the forest block probably. Well, have a great weekend. All the best. Mark

[@Cueman222]

I give you so much respect for cleaning out the stove. There are jerks everywhere Mark. Hello Andy, you have a great fellow hiker there. God bless you two.

[@WyeExplorer]

Hey bro, yeah it has to be done. If not us then who? We left the burner in great condition. For sure there are ill people all over the planet willing to do the same thing. A tad tormenting. Andy is great to hike with. I'm grateful. God bless and peace back to you. Mark

[@stephensmith4480]

Hi Mark, what a Beautiful Location and a magnificent Dwelling to to stay the Night. That story about The family that lived there was Tragic mate and speaking of Tragic, I fully endorse your reaction to the Half wits who left the place in that state. People who have enjoyed the privilege of Free Accommodation and that`s how they show their gratitude! Just no respect for other people or property. What was that other Building we could see? was it a cottage or suchlike? A great video mate cheers 👍👍

[@WyeExplorer]

Hi there Steve, yeah you'd love it there mate. Any time - just give us a shout. Yeah, it is a tragic but true story. Maan, they lived and died there. I agree it's another tragedy people who bite the hands that feed them. Ah, that other building was an outbuilding/shed for farming. Well, many thanks bro. All the best out there. Mark

Hi friend, a pleasure to share. Yes, the atmosphere and food were great as was the location. Many thanks. Take c are. Mark

[@mycolliesandme268]

One of my pet hates seeing rubbish just left, does my head in why people want to go to these nice places and leave their crap behind,they can bring it but for some reason they can't take it back with them. No ghosts in those rooms, or maybe. A sad story of the family. I'd find it hard to settle down, thinking anyone could come through the door anytime, friendly or not. But what a cracking place, that morning veiw. Love them fresh mountain streams. Very interesting and informative as ever, lots to love. Good one thanks for sharing Mark😊👍

[@WyeExplorer]

Hi Steve. Yes, my old mate it is a torment coming across such people. Maan, if only we could catch em doing it eh? But they seem to get away with it every time. I think a secret cam then youtube might do something. Ha ha! A tragic true story for sure - they're buried in a church 4 miles away apart from the mother who committed suicide. How sad is that? Yeah, there is atmosphere there Steve but not a bad one. Ah, mate you'd love this Bothy and space - it is wild and fresh. Well, many thanks as always. Catch you out there. Mark

[@mycolliesandme268]

Could do with a big sign inside, asking people to please take rubbish away as they brought it there and not to hide it up the chimney or elsewhere.little messages to prick people's minds. I liked how there was useful things left around. I had to give a thought to the man or woman who stood in that spot looking at the view, the stream and surroundings, before the house was built. Long ago , And said I want to build a home here,I want to live here. And the satisfaction they felt when it was done. Some people lived and loved it there at some point in time. Even though there was tragedy as well. I wonder who he or she was. I guess many of us have stood somewhere, and had the same dream. If only 😊

[@OutdoorWithMike]

Mark the way the bothy was left is a disgrace. By the tone of your voice it's a good job you hadn't caught the people who'd left that mess. Unfortunately, tidying up after others seems to be a regular theme for those of us who enjoy nature. Thoroughly enjoyable video mate and 'hi' to Andy. 🙂

[@WyeExplorer]

Hi there Andy, yeah I wonder what the outcome would have been had I caught them. Probably a stiff word or two. You're right of course we're always picking up after em - they're bloody ill mate. Well, glad you enjoyed this outing. Many thanks. Mark

[@solitaryrambler]

Loved the night time filming in the woods Mark, a real adventure for you and Andy through all that thick vegetation. Unbelievable all that crap left in the bothy by inconsiderate tw*ts. Well done for clearing it all out. I did laugh out loud Mark when you told em to f*** off! 😂 It's not funny at all though I know, and I would have felt mad coming across that too, so I'm totally with you there. Glad you got settled in that bothy anyway, a nice fire to keep you both going. A gorgeous atmospheric scene indeed the following morning looking over those views, just wow. Well that sure was a good 'un Mark and a great stop in the Cambrian Mountains. All the best 👍

[@WyeExplorer]

Hi there Patrick, glad you enjoyed the night approach in. It did lend meaning to the bothy. Ha, yeah we do swear sometimes when in warrior mode. I felt like that then at the senseless rubbish - I can see you feeling the same way. Re-the bothy it was a lovely night - just what the doctor ordered - the atmosphere, chat and the morning permeated our being. I look forward to getting back out into the Cambrians. Well, many thanks Patrick. Have a great week out there. All the best. Mark

[@MiriamKennedy]

Hi Mark - such a great facility to have available in the wild! Really nice to have it to yourselves too. The fire and the tealights looked lovely and cosy - great to see this bothy! The rubbish is such a shame…ggggrrrrrr! 😤

[@WyeExplorer]

Hi there Miriam, yeah it's a priceless free resource and what do people do? Trash it. But we got it ship shape and it was superb to have it to ourselves - a chance to connect amid the cozy vibes. And hey what you don't know is that Andy is a childhood friend too. Yeah, a lovely time had Miriam. I trust you're doing alright. Many thanks as always. Mark

[@akinderplace8150]

Thank you Mark - lovely capture of the essence of our adventure. Going in as night fell certainly added to the feelings of awe and wonder. I feel very fortunate to be one of the people you hike and camp with - looking forward to discovering more including those other Bothys. With my recent mental health challenges I find myself very out of shape as this has been a very sedentary year - the hike to the bothy and back has been a wake up call for me and I am sure will be an integral part of my recovery and path back to good mental health. Thank you for your love of the wild and the commitment you make to documenting your many adventures. Love and Peace - Andy

[@WyeExplorer]

A real pleasure Andy - I agree the approach at night made all the difference to the Bothy I reckon. Yes, me too - I've been to a few but there are others, which I look foreword to exploring with you. Hey, I've know doubt you'll get back into shape and for sure it will improve your mental well being - You know that one. A pleasure to share always - you're as good hiking company for me bro and that shared experience is good for my mental well being. Many thanks Andy - it was a cracking time out. All the best as always. Mark

[@straightouttacornwall]

Love night walking apart from the time I fell into a bog :) I'm not too sure about the meat free chicken but if it tastes good! The bothy was cool and even came with a toilet :)

[@WyeExplorer]

Yeah, it is a great vibe night hiking. Ha, bogs can be a bugger though eh? Hey, I recommend that Richmond Chargrill - it's super nice. Re-the Bothy it had it all I reckon. Cheers buddy. Take care. Mark

[@ChrisJB]

Wow! What an approach that was Mark and in the dark too. Messy bastards leaving the fire full of crap.....I despair sometimes. I've only ever done one bothy night and it was nothing more than a big shed with no fire, so next time I'd prefer one with a fire. I was hoping to get out on a camp tonight, but the weather is dreadful, so I'm having a quiet day at home instead. It seems like each time I'm free, lately, the weather Gods are against me. Ah well, no use grumbling shout it. Great film pal. Best wishes, Chris

[@WyeExplorer]

It was a real buzz Chris - that view down the fire break was impressive. And yeah, it made the bothy approaching it at night. I'm certain you'll enjoy your bothy stay with a fire when it comes. It's just brew up all night and chill. Yeah, awful weather down here too. That's right can't wish the wind away. Many thanks - glad you liked this one. It was a mission to clean it up in the end it seemed. All the best. Mark

[@FIVE-FOOTLyth]

Watched on the big screen Mark. Love a good bothy trip! Man, that was a gnarly approach. My favourite video this one, so atmospheric & a nice looking bothy. From someone who regularly cleans up other folks crap, I applaud your message to the lazy twats leaving the cans & bottles 😡 Bit chilling that history though. A candlelit meal & good company. Cheers! Sue

[@WyeExplorer]

Hey, nice one Sue. Yeah, they do hold a certain allure. It was good coming in at night and down from the top through the bush - went over a couple of times. Re-the mess people are bloody ill aren't they? Yeah, we don't want them around. For sure it has atmosphere what with the family. No bad vibes - just nice and chilled. Thanks Sue - all the best out there. Mark

[@nigelharness9032]

[@WyeExplorer]

Yeah, the path disappeared and it made for something gnarly and exciting Nige. Ah, I couldn't take my eyes of the valley view - simply a spectacular location. Although there's a tragedy attached there were no bad vibes. Many thanks Nige. Take care and all the best. Mark

Hi there Anna, how you doing? I hope you're well. It sure is an amazing spot and depending nice and wild getting there.

Mark, cool to see you out with Andy👍Nice and gnarly is always a good way to go👍 Really cool to arrive at the bothy in the dark and what a cool place (including the cactus plant)👍 A lovely sight from outside the bothy with those stone walls and the candle light inside. A really good message to those that left that horrible rubbish there👍 Superbly peaceful sitting at the fire🔥 with that stillness, food and chat👍 The bothy is in a fantastic spot with that view down the valley and love that compost loo👍 Super trip.

[@WyeExplorer]

Hi gerry, yeah good to be out with Andy again - we both enjoyed the gnarly night time route in as it truly did lend the bothy some meaning and atmosphere candles and all. Yeah, people are ill aren't they? I know you've picked up your own fair share of rubbish and it just keeps coming. But we have the peace of the fire, the stillness and food - it's not all disturbance. For sure the location is special. Thanks gerry - I see your new video. I look forward to seeing what you've been up too. All the best. Mark

[@wildernesswalker622]

Great video again Mark, bothy looks a nice haven. I don't understand people who bring full items to bothies, and then leave the empties behind them - there's no weight in empty. plastic bottles and cans and it's easier to carry them out. Crush and carry them out & leave no trace. Sad story in relation to the family who stayed there! Lovely bothy telly, makes such a difference when you get the fire going, especially on cold and dark nights.

[@WyeExplorer]

Hey, dude. How you doing? Glad you liked this one. Yeah, it lighter and a no brainer to take what you brought in out with you. People really are stupid and ill. A tragic but true story indeed. I kept thinking about them all night. The fire was for sure a good watch in the end. Well, I trust you're well. Many thanks. Mark

[@K9OutdoorsSearchTeam]

Totally agree with you Mark, couldn't have put it better, to the idiots that left the rubbish f@ck off we don't want you using these places. Bothies are worth their weight in gold when the weather is bad so why not look after them? Glad to see you and Andy had a good time. Take care my friend, atb Bill and his Maliraptors 👍

[@WyeExplorer]

Hey there Bill. Yes, bro it's literally just 'f..ck off.' If they can't be decent they're of no use to the outdoor community. I agree Bothies are a hugely valuable resource. The least we can do is give em a bit of love. Yeah, me and Andy had a real good connection. Cheers Bill. I trust you guys are well. Mark

[@noakeswalker]

I guess you came in via that footpath from the NW side, downhill from the trig point I can see on the map, Mark ? It does look a bit tricky if the path isn't all there, especially in the dark. 3 delayed buses from Hereford isn't that much fun either ! Nice visit to a place I've never been, looks like it's quite a big bothy as they go, also. Cheers, Dave

[@WyeExplorer]

Good deduction there Dave - yeah we did come from that trig then turned East into the forest block then dropped down. But the path marked out disappeared - things change. Yeah, it chest height and with gorse at night - got a few pricks in my hands. Re-the buses. It kind of worked out - it meant we came in at night and got the atmosphere of the bothy. I think you'd love this place Dave - not to far a walk either. Many thanks - all the best out there. Mark

[@thathikingguy]

I find trash just about everywhere I go. People just have no respect. Great time out Mark I enjoyed it very much

Loved all of this except one part. I just hate it when people disrespect things like Bothies. We have them in the mountains and people leave them trashed all the time.

Slippy styles and super tricky lumpy terrain at the beginning , definitely makes the going tough. Great job finding the bothy in the dark, looks like a good size one as well. Good of someone one to leave so much wood, but a real othershame that people had left all the rubbish in the wood burner. Great job cleaning it up. Looked a great evening chatting and eating around tea lights and a log fire. Beautiful views in the morning, a glorious location. thanks for sharing Atb Mark

Well done you and Andy cleaning up after those selfish pigs. I would have been swearing too (I've been doing a lot of that recently watching the tv news...I despair of our politicians). Haven't had Quorn since the 70s. We camped around Iceland eating Quorn mince. I guess it's a different animal now. ;-) Sad story with the bothy. I've seen a couple but never slept in one. Great if it's just you and a buddy. Fantastic reveal of the bothy view. I suppose we should be 'grateful' the scum didn't chuck their rubbish into our countryside. Magic video as always, Mark. PS My Saker Chainsaw would have sorted out that wood in seconds, lol!

Hey, Terry yeah the clean up was going to get done. It was a mess! I reckon you would have had a rant. Re-the corn that was tasty - you wanna give it a try. It is sad with the family - no ghosts though just fantastic views and vibes. Ah, for sure now that would have been upsetting to see the rubbish strewn about the mountains - but they do that too.

Beautiful approach to the Bothy, looks like it was a bit off the beaten track, path less trodden! You made it snug with the tea lights and the fire. Didn’t expect the view in the morning, really tucked away in the wilds. It’s a real shame not everyone treats the place with respect, glad to see you got the fire going nicely after you cleared it out. Great adventure out, cheers Mark.

[@WyeExplorer]

Hey there Betty, yeah a decent gnarly approach in - loved the night as it lent the bothy some meaning as did the tea lights. Re-the fire took some cleaning after them messy buggers but was good. The highlight had to be seeing the location another plus for arriving at night. Well, m any thanks Betty. All the best out there. Mark

[@TheGirlGoneNomad]

@@WyeExplorer You did a cracking job on the fireplace and left it in much better nick for the next people. Yer I really liked how you woke up to the view having not had it at night, a real surprise!

[@WyeExplorer]

@@TheGirlGoneNomad Yeah, Betty had to gut the fire out. Some people are ill eh? Oh for sure I liked seeing the location better this way in fact. Peace.

[@JamieHarding5]

Great video Mark. Really enjoyed that. The fire looked great. Scenery looks stunning there. I hope to go this year. Good on you cleaning fire out. Shame some leave it a mess. Such a sad family history though. Thanks for sharing. Great job.👍

[@WyeExplorer]

Thanks Jamie - glad you enjoyed it mate. Yeah, a great mountain scene from there. I love the Cambrians for that. Ah, the fire? They're babies mate - happy to have cleaned it up. Re-the family it is sad - the mother wasn't even buried with them because of the suicide. Well, in a happier note have a good time when you visit. Mark

[@MaxandKalisAdventures]

just to beable to carry few bits no tent is the best way :) I love the awkward pathways to get about ,the more fun it is .Leave no trace, Dont get why people dont understand that little message grrrr lol .Great camp with info . ATB Max

[@WyeExplorer]

Ho Max, how you doing? Yeah, I agree it's lighter too. As for the gnarly routes in they give you a buzz alright. Well, people are bloody ill aren't they? Glad you enjoyed this one. I trust you're well out there - I'll pop in to see what you've been up too. Mark

[@MaxandKalisAdventures]

@WyeExplorer I'm good 👍 even with broke toe and my shoulder in a mess so no big heavy ruck sacks for me .Grounded also due to works in my house .yeh did some bits this summer .only one camp I didn't record but someone else did direct impact I'm dancing lol 😆 Atb Max

[@WyeExplorer]

@@MaxandKalisAdventures Ah, sorry to hear that Max. You've been through the wars. All the best with the house. My summer wasn't great because of my leg and ankle either.

[@MaxandKalisAdventures]

It is nice out there. Many thanks. Mark

[@outsidertank]

Great video Mark, I approached from the west it was a hard climb...

[@WyeExplorer]

Hey bro, cheers there. Yeah, it was a good one trash and all. I know the route you mean - that was our exit. All the best. Mark

[@steenbeanl7170]

It’s a shame that people don’t cleanup after themselves., but what a beautiful place to hike 🙂

[@WyeExplorer]

It is - they're very tormenting and hey, ill. The wild beauty takes all that away though. Many thanks my friend. Mark

[@wild_childofthe80s]

Hey Mark!! Thought I'd stop by and catch up on your vids! Hope you're good ♡ The sign basically says that the Bothy is kept by the community of mountain bothies on behalf of the owner and to make every effort to keep it tidy. Now I'll continue to watch :) x x

[@WyeExplorer]

Hay, Nat good to hear from you. Me? Yeah all good apart from insta have banned me. I made a really nice comment and their algorithm seems to think it was the opposite. They're thieves. Thanks for the sign heads up. As for keeping it tidy you no doubt know by now we cleaned up a right old mess. People are bloody sick. Well, take care. Hope to be back on insta at some point. All the best. Mark

[@wild_childofthe80s]

@@WyeExplorer No way?? You kidding? 🥺 What did you say? Urghh - that's so upsetting.. Have you just been banned from commenting or have you lost yer account? Yeah I saw you'd cleaned out the fire. I'd have done the same. Well done. I want to get back into posting on YT. I feel sad I let it slide tbh. Posted a short earlier. Keep in touch xox

[@WyeExplorer]

@@wild_childofthe80s Yeah, shut out - account is still on. A lady posted about grief and I merely replied sharing my twin brothers loss. It was just longer than usual. The next thing I hear is that it was an offensive comment. It's crazy. Oh for sure I know you would clean up any mess - they're like babies. I did check out your YT last night - got an old one to watch. I did see your beans and sausage short and liked it. Hope to see another upload. Peace.

[@TT-Travel-Photography]

Thanks a lot for sharing your great work and amazing hike! Greetings from Switzerland! New Sub !

[@WyeExplorer]

A pleasure to share. Yeah, it was a good one. Thanks for the sub too. Mark

[@TheKinlock]

Good to see you

[@WyeExplorer]

Cheers there. All the best. Mark

[@FiftyandNifty]

Great vid mate ! Tough route in but what a place. Good to remember those that came before and the history of the house/family that lives there. Sad story but sure they had happy times too. Shame about the idiots trashing with rubbish ! Must get myself over there sometime for that view ! Cheers.

[@WyeExplorer]

Hey dude, yeah a gnarly approach in but it was so good to arrive at night - kind of lent the Bothy meaning. For sure very sad for the whole family to go like that - I kept thinking about them. Re-the rubbish the world is bloody ill. What can we say? Well, I hope you find yourself in that valley - their is a park up East not far. We came in from the North. All the best and thanks. Mark

[@JimTimber]

Awesome woodland Mark bro ! However the start of the trail reminded me of a Rafe Spall movie 'The Ritual' (2017) ..a British horror film that follows four friends who take a hiking trip into a Swedish forest and encounter an ancient evil. It frightened the 💩 out of me !! lol Thankfully your trail does not have the same effect !! The bothy looks awesome !! ..well except for the plastic and cans ..dolts !! What boggles the mind is that they hauled all that liquid in there but couldn't be bothered to take the light weight empties home crushed up !.. ridiculous!!

[@WyeExplorer]

Yeah, it was a good walk in Andy. Ha ha, it can look spooky but in all reality it's wild and epic. The Bothy is the largest in the Cambrians - luxury bro. For sure not so luxurious coming across the brain dead left behinds. I resonate - their rubbish is bloody lighter now. Ah, the some people are ill. Thanks Andy. Take care out there. Mark

[@JimTimber]

@@WyeExplorer You too bro ! ..I just re-watched the video as it is in my opinion the best you have done !!.. your videos just get better and better mate.. awesome !!

[@WyeExplorer]

@@JimTimber Hey, thanks Andy - not sure what makes this one better than the others but I'll take that. I have favorites of course. Maybe it's the location here. Have a great d ay bro. Sun shining here.

[@NorthwalesBushcrafters]

Nice location there Mark great having a night in a bothy ATB Trev

[@WyeExplorer]

Yeah, it's the best of the Cambrians Trev. For sure be back out for another Bothy night soon. Cheers bro. Mark

[@bumblejennybee88]

Aren't people absolute arses! It makes my blood boil how anyone can leave rubbish about! Great video though, made up for it! 😊

[@WyeExplorer]

Hi there Jenny, yeah it does any decent person - I mean stuffing the stove full. Madness! Glad you like the stay overall - it's a fabulous location. All the best out there. Mark

[@christophergriffiths4646]

Brilliant Mark 👍 haven’t done this one yet but it’s been on my list , looks spot on . Hope ya well . Great insight into the history 👍

[@WyeExplorer]

Alright there Chris. It's a great space mate - you'd enjoy it. Me? Getting on thanks - just finished writing my book. All the best. Mark

[@alexmeredith7841]

[@WyeExplorer]

Hi there - good to hear from you. Many thanks for the sub. All the best out there. Mark

[@saunteringsapsfords]

Well said Mark,dirty people leaving rubbish like that,worse still,stick it in the wood burner. I say it all the time: how do people go to these lovely places ,and not take rubbish home,or just chuck it in the hedge, makes me mad,as it did you.Anyway.great spot. Idiliic location, catch you on the next one bro.

[@WyeExplorer]

Ah, well I didn't have to think about what I said the madness of it was enough to bring it out. Yeah, suffice to say the world has a mental illness. They're not right in the head. Awesome space - you'd certainly love it. All the best. Mark

[@b57ecv]

Hi mark, have you been to the Clearddu Bothy, its a nice walk from there on up to it by the Teifi Pools, you can do a loop back through the Clearwen Reservoir to the Elan Valley and Rhayader.

[@WyeExplorer]

No, I haven't been to that bothy yet - I have been to a few others. Yeah, I know the one and fully intend going there. Meanwhile we're here at Nant Syddion. What did you think of this wee adventure? All the best. Mark

[@b57ecv]

@@WyeExplorer yes interesting, i never knew the history a bit spooky very interesting indeed mark, good video you and Andy made together , David .

[@WyeExplorer]

@@b57ecv It may seem spooky but the vibes were good there Andy. Glad you liked it - many thanks.

[@SetForAdventures]

Another great one mark a proper tail of exploration and soul lifting thoughts mate The crap in the fire 🔥 (what to say 😡 (bothys are off the beaten track and not common knowledge) so for our own kind to do this is disgusting 🤮 The approach was epic by the way 🤠👍 Hope you and Andy are doing well 🙏🏼 Best regards Simon 🤠👍🏔️

[@WyeExplorer]

Hey, Simon thanks there bro. Yeah, it was a good one and a fantastic approach in. Lent the bothy meaning at night too. Re-the mess these people are bloody ill. And as you say from our own community. We are doing well thanks. Have a great weekend. Mark

Many thanks. We love it out there. Mark

[@HikeCamp]

Interesting walk in the dark... And then dealing with others trash. No bothy houses here just the occasional hiker shelter..

[@WyeExplorer]

Hi Max, yeah a super sporting approach in. Re-the trash - it's a global sickness isn't it? U like your hiker shelters - wish we had some here. Thanks bro. Take care. Mark

[@HikeCamp]

I don't care for the shelters and prefer to set camp away from them... Too many people for my liking...

[@WyeExplorer]

@@HikeCamp Well, we got this one to ourselves Max. I'm normally in a tent too. But they do make for a unique experience.

[@acnud]

What kind of idiot carried that in only to stuff it in the stove 🤬. Apart from that what a great bothy and company. Peace to you Mark 👍

[@WyeExplorer]

Hi Duncan, good to hear from you. Yeah, what kind of idiot indeed. The same kind we get all over the world sadly. For sure it was a great time out with good company. Peace to you too my friend. Mark

I was angry with all that trash them bastards left. Disgrace. Cant beat Earl Grey. I tried them Richmond meat free sausages and they were awful. I will stick to my 80% meat sausages in future. A haunted place maybe? Nice spot to camp. Beautiful...And you cant beat a detour on your journey to Wales. Cymru am byth!

[@WyeExplorer]

Hey there bro, yeah mess like that gets under our skin. Usually I'm mint tea. Re-the Richmonds I liked them but I get your stance. No ghosts this time around - perhaps they too are still enjoying that view and are chilled with us all. Yeah, love the detours. All the best out there. Mark
