Hi Andy, informative vid, as long as the weather holds up I'll be following your footsteps next week!!

[@Andy-walkaboutnutty]

That's great, hope you have a great time. I'm sure you will, tell me how things turn out. 👍💯%

Hiya mate I’m planning a walk for the vampire and Wellington bomber how would I go about finding them on the maps I just can’t seem to find a good route

[@Andy-walkaboutnutty]

First you need to know how to read a map, compass and grid reference on a OS map. Park your car in a church car park just up from glyntawe grid reference sn847169. Then take the path called beacons way and walk below the cliff towards llyn y fan fawr lake. Half way along the cliff look outwards and the vampire should be in sight. Then to get to the Wellington mf509 you would have to do a bearing to the path near it and find it vir grid sn817168 marked in the map as carreg goch. That looks like a great day out, I've only walked them 1 at a time. Might do that myself one day. If you don't know how to do grid references and compass stuff I've done videos on that as well. Hope you have a great time 👍☯️

Personally, I'll stick to taking some sarnies and a flask. Thanks anyway.

[@Andy-walkaboutnutty]

@incident895 taking sarnies and flask is the way most people eat and drink out there. I do the same most of the time. That was one of my old videos. I hope you enjoyed it.

@@Andy-walkaboutnutty Hi Andy, really enjoyed the video, these aircraft wrecks are fascinating and I'm looking forward to more stuff from you buddy. I'm still not eating worms though! Thanks again! Rich. 😀

Crazy that’s been there 70 years

[@Andy-walkaboutnutty]

It's probably part of the areas heritage by now, I should imagine

[@downlowgo_401]

@@Andy-walkaboutnutty it’s wonderful that it has been kept as a proper memorial. Even the most remote locations here in the US are often covered in spray paint and graffiti. People always take items as souvenirs too. I’m sure some of that has gone missing, but from the most part it’s nice everyone has been respectful.

Eating worms 🪱 ❤️ Informative hike ❤️

[@Andy-walkaboutnutty]

Once upon a time, that was almost normal for me. But I've become sivilised these days Steve 👍🥧🍺

[@stevemarshall_uk]

I eat plenty of offal and raw liver, so I’ll do this anyway, as u say the bag of acid kills pathogens then breaks food down ready for intestines to extract nutrients n protein amino acid’s
