I saw that first waterfall last year, don’t go after a drought, it was more like a dripping tap 😂

[@Dan-ue1ed]

I've been to that part of Wales a few times. Stunning scenery but I wouldn't be keen on shredding my SUV tyres on some of those lanes. As ever your videos are excellent. Neither of you were tempted to do a bit of wild swimming..??!!

[@cjexplores]

Legend 🙌🏼 thanks for the support Dan. Lucky for us the vehicle was a loan from Land Rover for the trip so we wanted to put it through its paces 😉 We definitely wanted to do some wild swimming, however a tight schedule and wild weather deterred us this time 😅

[@bobspeller2225]

Fantastic video, beautiful scenery and driving roads. Cheers Bob

[@cjexplores]

Aww 🥰 lovely, thank you for your support Bob 🙏🏼

[@ACJourney2162]

I haven't been to Wales since I was little so I only remember Brecon Beacons by name. So this was cool to see

[@cjexplores]

Ahh glad we could bring you along on our journey!

[@wherewewanda]

That’s brilliant - we’re off on a #walesroadtrip in September - will be adding Harlech Castle to our list now 😀

[@cjexplores]

Woohoo! Fantastic, wishing you beautiful Welsh weather ❤️🙏🏼❤️

[@tracygrant2923]

Ah, lovely Porthmadog. We visited there 2 years ago, when we were based at Llanbedrog. If you get the chance, do the coastal walk along the Llyn Peninsula from Pwllheli through Llanbedrog to Abersoch .. gorgeous beaches there. Thanks for sharing guys, loved it! ❤️👍🏻

[@cjexplores]

Thanks for the recommendations Tracy 🙏🏼❤️ we didn’t have amazing weather for coastal walks unfortunately but we will be back at some point I’m sure 🤩

Great video! Stunning scenery, all very nicely shot and chopped. Did you know?... All castle towers the stairs go clock-wise. This is because most people are righthanded and if you are defending the tower you then have room to swing a sword. But if you're attacking your sword arm is on the inside and it's very difficult to swing. ALSO! You may have noticed that the steps in a castle tower are very uneven. This is by-design. If you live in the castle and have to use the steps regularly you soon learn the pattern of the stairs, big and small steps. This again gives the advantage to defenders (pardon the Land Rover pun) who know the stairs well against attackers who would be unfamiliar with them. In a battle with screaming, shouting, smoke and poorly fitting helmets this was a significant disadvantage. Maybe head over to the Isle of Man next. It equals the beauty of Wales, if not the scale.

[@cjexplores]

I find this incredibly interesting! What a fascinating way to look at building design 😳 Thanks for all the info 🙏🏼 and yes Isle of Man is on our list. Our good friend just came back from the TT a few weeks ago and showed us some great pics!

[@varuntalwar2012]

Hi, Loved your video. It was amazing. Just wanted to know where did you stop on the last part in the video with the sheep. Was It a private property or public space?

[@cjexplores]

Hey, thanks for watching! It was public space, we accessed it via a green lane 😊

[@ACJourney2162]

No matter what, you can guarantee you'll end up at a castle in Wales. Hehe

[@cjexplores]

Hahaha 🤣 it was a wonderful surprise!!

[@ACJourney2162]

@@cjexplores I think when I was little, my dad took us to 5 castles in one day

[@cjexplores]

@@ACJourney2162 my gosh! What an adventure, hope you had better weather that day 🤣

[@bublebuble2004]

When doing the green mains was there a one way system or two way looks very tight to non to get past people

[@cjexplores]

I didn’t see anything about a one way system when we were there, and we did have to reverse at one time but there were some sections where you could pull in to let others pass 😁

[@nicolagriffiths5777]

Try the garth

[@cjexplores]

What’s that??

[@tnrX999]

Porth ma dog 😂😂

[@cjexplores]

Haha that names gets me too! 🙈🤣

[@edvinass.5844]

well done nice place and I was there🙂 Can you tell me please what camera 🎥 you used for filming?

[@cjexplores]

Yes sure it’s a LUMIX GH5 with a Leica kit lens 😉

[@edvinass.5844]

@@cjexplores thanks 😊

[@travelaroundtheworld6916]

Hey how did you managed to the drone shoot on claerwine reservoir ,is there any road heading to there

[@cjexplores]

Hi there, yes there was a road up the hill but it was a little bumpy. Suited for 4WD vehicles with a little bit of height clearance ☺️

[@steveellis5947]

There is a road up to the top of the dam and across. Any car can make it. You don’t need a 4X4. Going beyond the gate over the other side you do. But I wouldn’t advise it as that’s not a bypass or green lane !!!

[@cjexplores]

@@steveellis5947 thanks for that Steve 🙏🏼

If Land Rover came to you and said take our latest vehicle out on a week long trip through Wales but you have to make a video about it, what would you say? 🤣

[@elzabethmorgan8020]

Interesting, but since I’m from Wales I found this kind of boring - there’s a lot more scenic and challenging routes. The narrative is also hard to understand at times.

[@cjexplores]

Hi Elizabeth, thanks for sharing your thoughts! We appreciate the input. Maybe we will rework this one… 😊
