🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 SNOWDONIA Solo Wild Camp - In The Shadow Of Tryfan

[@suedavies2157]

...now if that'd been a Mars instead of a Bounty....only kidding - was an absolute pleasure to watch! Thank you, Dave! 😊

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

Haha. Thanks Sue. Glad you enjoyed it 😁🍷🍫 👍

[@IrelandRider]

Afternoon. I reckon it looks a cracking pitch, that's the answer to your question 👌. Oh and I did see on Instagram that you'd not been out in 5 weeks and you're gonna bag a few wainwrights lol 😆, see I told you that your a closet bagger, nowt wrong with that. Back to this video, I'm sure this was maybe 5 weeks ago as it was still light at 8....just, but the views 8 minutes into your video were a sight for sore eyes 👀, great drone footage, they were mesmerizing. Glad you remembered your wine glass, that's twice now to my recollection haha 😄. The morning after the night before, I always feel out of it when I've had a few beers, the fresh air always helps and as you said, a brew with a view 😀. I also liked the morning drone views too, cracking!! Great chilled video buddy, see you on your next adventure 🤙 🤟 😀

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

Haha. Always a pleasure reading you comments Rich. Yeah was mid September. Glad you enjoyed it. ATB Dave 🙏🏻

[@ervinslens]

What a brilliant adventure my friend, just like movie 🍿! These shots and landscapes are truly majestic!

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

Big thanks. Glad you enjoyed it 😎👍

[@simoneales4566]

Well you have got the freedom of Tryfan so no better way than to go back & toast it with a bottle of wine. Looks stunning round there. Thanks for taking us with you.

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

My pleasure Simon. Glad you enjoyed it 😎👍

[@AndrewBeavers]

just shows you dont have to be on the summits pal to enjoy a cracking camp..like you've said before you get that felling of being in the mountains great stuff as always pal take care.

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

Absolutely, bud. After a top trip with you guys it was such a pleasure to spend a night chilling with the mountains for company 🙏🏻

[@philipnevin2027]

I enjoyed viewing your video near Tryfan, brings back memories in particular doing North Ridge in winter conditions. Using crampons and ice axe climbed to summit standing stones of Adam & Eve. Despite being cold I was warm with layers and jacket. All the best Dave from Philip.

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

Nice one Philip. Sounds amazing 😎👍

[@valblackburn48]

Cracking camp spot that Dave 👌 loved the drone footage ..... gorgeous 😍

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

Thanks Val 🙏🏻

[@Victoria-wd6kr]

Fantastic all round. This is a region I know a little - Snowdonia... Look forward to your winter adventures 😊

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

Thanks Victoria. It’s a lovely area indeed 🙏🏻

[@alistaireld8446]

Fantastic. Absolutely breathtaking drone footage.

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

🙏🏻

[@alastairkippax]

Gorgeous area that Dave, thanks for giving heights in feet as so many just give it in metres meaning the first thing I do is mentally convert it in to feet, also thanks for making my mind up as to what to drink tonight before I start my pre Christmas healthy eating stint tomorrow, red wine it is. Thanks for another great vlog, take care.

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

Haha. Cheers Alasdair 😁🍷👍

[@kennybrydges2429]

wow.. some nice views there Dave... ATB fella.. 👍..see you in the next one!

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

Thanks Kenny. Glad you enjoyed it 😎👍

[@martgriffin6115]

That was so nice can not wait to get back there. When i first done Adam and eve i cracked a rib getting of Eve!!!!!!!

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

Cheers👍. Glad you enjoyed it. Yeah, Adam and Eve is more tricky than it first appears. ATB - Dave

[@thewanderingforester]

Watched this with the wife and we realised we haven't been into the Ogwen valley since 2016 when we climbed the highest 20 hills in Wales raising money for the DofE. Need to put that right. Lovely video again, drone footage over the North Ridge made it look really dramatic. ATB Roger

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

Great memories for you Roger😎👍. Glad you enjoyed it - ATB Dave

[@simonmundy5387]

I understand Dave that there are quite a few respectable restaurants in the trendy areas of London that are now serving 'Beaujolais avec Bounty'. Don't know where they got that idea from? Brilliant video as always Dave, take care matey! Simon, Somerset.

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

😆 haha. Nice one Simon 😁👍

[@peterriley3249]

An easy camp, your always entitled to that Dave, let's you show of your other skill set lol Could make another great location for a base camp, you could even use the big rock for a different way of setting up a large tarp. One spot location, what great views I quite liked 26.58 in. Looked like an easy walk . . . Scramble, then a sort of ravine, waterfall, climb to right. No wonder you had visitors looking for tent places, or just walking on. Surrounded by so many options, awesome. You point to the ridges, wow, how impressive is the Dragons Back? From Conway Castle to Cardiff Castle a legendary multi stage, Ultra running journey . . . Or a seven day walk . . . A Journey of Self Discovery. Myself got invited into a new apparel today on previous purchase I am not advertising, coat for better words not yet made in Ukraine, on pre-order made of YKK VISLON, AQUA GUARD with DValpine membrane. So you got a hangover, on your journey of self discovery, nothing wrong with that Dave, enjoyed your journey with you . . . Me, feeling a little sad now, especially when Matt Hancock is apparently in some Jungle, when he could bee out there championing ending this Western war in Ukraine against Russia and it's allies? As always Best of health Peter and lucky the Boxer Dog Woof, woof

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

Nice one Peter. Glad you enjoyed it 😎👍🍷

[@rbrratboyroaming4654]

Beauty! I camped facing tryfan about a month ago. Insane views 👌🏻

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

Aye. It’s quality there 😎⛰⛺️👍

[@therossendalerambler-mikei7294]

Nice 1 Dave enjoyed that one 👍

[@Scousebazzer]

Brilliant as always Dave, the drone footage was breathtaking and shows us the mountains like we have never seen. Tryfan was my first ever visit in the mountains! I remember a friend asking did I fancy a day in the mountains,it was something I'd never thought of. After that trip I fell in love with it. The Glyders is the only area in the years of doing the mountains that I'd encountered a "Brocken Spectre" a rare occurrence. Thanks for your brilliant video's Dave. Even with my bad knees it makes me want to get out there.

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

That’s great to hear, Barry. It’s so special to me when my videos evoke such fantastic memories for people. Thanks for letting me know 🙏🏻. Take care - Dave

Brilliant drone footage as ever. Thank you. Check out The Berwyns - great hills for walking and camping.

Cheers Simon. I’ve mountain biked in the Berwyns back in the 2000’s 👍

[@mountainmantararua8824]

Solitude? Come over to NZ, you'll get all the solitude you need, I go for days on end and never see another person. Great drone shots. ATB Cheers from the mountains of NZ 😀😀

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

Haha. It’s all relatively, obviously MT. I’ve been to NZ it’s an amazing place. Spent a couple of weeks touring the South Island. ATB - Dave

[@danmegoutdoors8709]

awesome vid, was waiting for this one, where you were sat flying your drone the first time, theirs an amazing flat spot to pitch your tent about 30 meters behind where you were sat, its a good little spot where you were pitched, doesnt get too busy, i good place to try next time your in wales is cadair idris

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

Big thanks guys 🙏🏻. I have done Cadair about 4yrs ago but I forgot to mention it. ATB - Dave 👍

[@unclepeteswildadventures]

Another nice one Dave. Do take care up there. Someone died on Bristly ridge yesterday. Sorry to Chuck that in there. I took a bad fall last week with heavy pack (no harm done luckily). Recommend Garmin in-touch mini for gps location and sos messaging. Do keep going though, live life to the full. Atb

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

I didn’t know that UP. RIP 😞🙏🏻. I went back a couple of weeks after this video and did Bristly Ridge and a mountain camp (not had chance to edit the video yet). Hope you’re ok after the fall, pal. Take care - Dave

[@unclepeteswildadventures]

@@TheSoloSummiteer love your vids. Yeah no injuries from fall. Lucky though🙄. Looking forward to your next. ATB

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

Us old people really shouldn’t be allowed out in the mountains, eh 😁👍

[@danexitsstreetview3273]

A great camp and one hell of a setting. Much enjoyed as always. Cheers.

[@JackKlumpass]

Dave, I love the fact you went back up the same day as you came down - now that’s wot I call passion (either that or addiction) 😂 ATB Chris👍🏼

Cracking video as always, Dave, and glad to see you remembered the wine glass! Definitely up for watching a Wales winter camp once there’s some snow on the ground! Have been considering doing that myself.

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

Cheers pal. Glad you enjoyed it. It’s a beautiful little area around there 🍷😁🙏🏻

Have you seen Chris Homer channel Dave. Some Snowdonia stunners there too Cheers

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

Yeah. Think he’s a professional photographer. Stunning images

[@otf.outdoors]

Would of been rude not go back the next day and have another camp Dave, especially in such a beautiful place, drone footage showed it in all its glory mate, brilliant, and you remembered a wine glass 🤣, quick question mate, are them little digital thermometers fairly accurate ? Wouldn’t mind getting one, where did you get it? come in handy to keep check on temps, atb Mick 👍

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

Cheers Mick. Search for Oria thermometer on Amazon 👍

Aye. Stunning place. Pack is a Montane Trailblazer 44👍

[@JRLNeal]

Terrific video again Dave, those drone shots are such a bonus. Remember the days when we didn’t have drones? Only one helicopter and no fighter planes which are fairly common through that valley. Stay safe and happy.

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

Cheers John. Yeah the aerial footage really shows off the area. ATB Dave 👍

[@kieranconway8305]

Great video as always. I'm looking to make a trip down from Chorley to camp in the area. Do you mind if I ask where you parked your car overnight? Seems to always be my biggest challenge, many thanks, and keep up the awesome work with your videos 😁

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

Big thanks 🙏🏻. I know exactly what you mean about parking Kieran. There’s a few large lay bys at the side of the road in Ogwen. I use those. HTH. ATB Dave

[@Olan...]

Nice one as per usual Dave.....its great being out with a belting pair of like minded lads like Andy and Scott and having a bit of banter etc even if Scott is wearing that yellow sheep shaggin deep sea fishermans flasher mac ( i am thinking of starting a Go Fund me page to buy him a full length pair of trousers and a decent waterproof) but to fully engage on a sensual level mountains are best served solo if you want to connect with the Gods ....on the other hand if you want to simply connect with the sheep after a bottle of wine then buy yourself a Yellow Fishing jacket and just go for it mate :)

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

Haha. Brilliant Olan. They’re great lads. Some of the banter is way too strong for KZbin 😁. Yeah. He got some stick for that coat, don’t you worry 😆. I used that chair last night. Don’t think I set it up right but thought it was great. Big thanks again for that 🪑 👍😁. ATB
