Hey, nice one for maintaining it Will - some people just don't connect with the joy of others. The last time I was there I happened to come across the Bothy Association AGM. I had just come from the source of the Elan. It was interesting. If interested in that video go to: Wild Elan Way. The Bothy and the AGM is in it. Peace. Mark

Nice one Dan, great 2nd part…..and some biblical conditions to deal with. You dug deep & brought a great episode for us to enjoy. That fire in the bothy must’ve been a lifesaver! Thanks again, Marcus

[@danexitsstreetview3273]

Thanks Marcus. I am glad you enjoted it. I didn't focus as much on quality filming on this one due to the conditions.

I wish one day i could visit this place and just enjoy hiking and camping in this beautiful mountain...

[@danexitsstreetview3273]

It is a great place. Depending on where you are based, maybe you'll get there one day.

[@jack_liddle]

The weather sure can change rapidly, looks likke you were packed for it though.

[@danexitsstreetview3273]

I was apart from no dry sacks. Lesson learned there!

[@WyeExplorer]

Good going Dan. Yeah, there's a reason why the reservoirs are there. I can appreciate the cross country walking - it is challenging but so worth it. Good to see the farmer. He made a good choice for sure. Question. Have you seen my Lluest cwm Bach Bothy video where the Bothy Association say it how it is? They give me an insight into how it's pronounced. Well, a nice welcoming party there. That's all you can ask for. All the best. Mark

[@danexitsstreetview3273]

An absolute bog fest and I shall check out that bothy video of yours. Thanks for watching Mark.

[@WyeExplorer]

@@danexitsstreetview3273 Yeah, we like bog bashing Dan. It's like a dance. A pleasure. The video by the way is called: Lluest Cwmbach Bothy | Cambrian Mountains | The Bothy Association Says it How it Sounds in Welsh - just copy paste. Peace.

[@danexitsstreetview3273]

@@WyeExplorer Just seen it and much enjoyed. I was a little way off! Thanks.

[@WyeExplorer]

@@danexitsstreetview3273 That's cool. I had just come from the source of the Elan and stumbled upon the Bothy Association AGM of all things. Leaving a message there rather than here would have been better for me and the video. Thanks.

When the monks did it, the land hadn't been taken over by Molinium. Horrible stuff, makes a pitch for your tent difficult to find. That aside, I felt like I'd stepped back in time when I walked that road last year. I saw Lluest-cwm-bach from the path on the other side of the reservoir and wondered who lived there - I never knew it was a bothy!

[@danexitsstreetview3273]

Thanks David. I know what you mean about stepping back in time. Time doesn't even really seem to matter once up on the plateau. Such a special part of Wales. Glad you enjoyed your trip too. That bothy is well worth the visit. ATB.
