Wild Camping in the Heart of the Brecon Beacons.

[@johncochrane2707]

Once again it was a joy to come along with you and Toby on this wild camp. Another great video from your brilliant channel, thanks so much.

[@wildaboutwales]

It's a pleasure to share our adventures with you. Thank you, John.

[@garphykeks]

Awesome cinematography Ryan.... Loved it👌😎

[@wildaboutwales]

Thanks, Marty, good to hear. After a few failed night lapses I was quite happy this one worked. Diolch yn Fawr. Ryan.

[@serkd37]

Another great camp, it’s always a pleasure to see you and Toby relaxing with your favourite food and drink. Thanks for sharing Ryan. Serk

[@wildaboutwales]

And it's always a pleasure to share our adventures with you, Serk. Thank you! 🙂

[@Ivyjones7921]

Your teaching me more stuff about camping thank you😊

[@wildaboutwales]

That's good to hear. I'm glad you're finding the videos helpful 🙂

[@GoneWildCamping892]

That looked like a really chilled camp mate. The drone footage with music was amazing 👏

[@wildaboutwales]

Mate, it was a special night, I really enjoyed it. Glad you enjoyed and thanks for watching 👍🏼

[@debradaniels936]

Fabulous views. You really can't beat Wales for views. Thank you so much for sharing xx

[@wildaboutwales]

You're welcome, Debra, and thank you for watching. ATB, Ryan.

[@dansawyuh]

Amazing video, some of those shots really doing justice for the beauty of the area

[@wildaboutwales]

Thank you, mate. It's a cracking spot, I was glad I got the drone up before the clag came in.

[@owestyo]

Looking forward to that next one Ryan. I was hoping you would get stuck into those woods 😂👍🏻👍🏻

[@wildaboutwales]

Yes, I only had a quick wander around them, but they're pretty cool. Hopefully I'll get to camp there soon 👍🏼

[@michaelhess7414]

Another awesome video of Tobi and you. I love to see you enjoy the 'Welsh Gold' with the sea salt chocolate. Blended in perfectly with the place and it's atmosphere. You never had problems with officials? I take it that wild camping is not exactly appreciated and there seems to be some trouble with 'investors'/land owners in Dartmoor who don't like hikers... Cheers, Michael Keep on going, I love your stories and Tobie!

[@wildaboutwales]

Thank you, Michael, I'm glad you're enjoying the channel. It's a beautiful place to camp. Wild camping is classed as a 'civil offence of trespass' so you're only ever likely going to be asked to move along. Although frowned upon by some, it seems to be widely tolerated by most, as long as you're following the 'leave no trace code'. I'm always careful not to camp on privately owned land and I've never had any issues. Once people see you're a genuine wild camper and you're not going to leave a mess, they're pretty cool with you. I did have a warden knock on my tent one morning in Snowdonia, I got caught in a terrible storm and had to pitch near a hostel, I explained my situation and he left me be. ATB, Ryan.

[@michaelhess7414]

Thanks. That sounds like a good practice. Snowdonia is quite a busy place and I have almost cancelled the idea to make the Watkin Path because of too many people. I prefer to be by my self out there and with people in a pub 😊, cheers, mate, hope to see many more of Toby and Ryan's adventures.

[@wildaboutwales]

@@michaelhess7414 Same here, Michael. You're welcome. Thanks, mate.

[@chrislonsberry1974]

Loved the drone footage! What a fantastic campsite! Views are wonderful! Toby knows when his dinner is cooking. His tail wagging and little sighs while he waits. Too cute! Interesting hearing about the history of the whiskey. See you in the next one!

[@wildaboutwales]

Thank you, Chris. He thoroughly enjoyed those steaks, he earned them too after the initial climb to get there. Take care and ATB, Ryan.

[@jamesellsworth9673]

Thanks for another fine adventure!

Thank you, mate! It's much more enjoyable in the Beacons when you're not getting beasted around there 😂 I never appreciated NI for how beautiful it is when we were serving there, I do plan to revisit one day. Thanks for watching, mate...take it easy! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Another good one mate..scenery is stunning 👍

[@wildaboutwales]

Thank you, Alan. It's a beautiful location to spend the night. ATB, Ryan.

[@chrisarnold4709]

Superb walk as always and great filming and music, love that ridge line, always a benefit when the weather is good but it can be just as evocative in any weather. Got a weeks leave coming up soon and now confused as to which of your walks I should copy! Curry looked restaurant quality!

[@wildaboutwales]

Thank you, Chris. It was a great night in a magical spot. I don't know how familiar you are with the area, but if you haven't done it, a great route to the summit of Pen y Fan that I love is the Cefn Cwm Llwch ridge, from Cwm Gwdi, followed by a descent down Cwm Llwch valley from Corn Du. Anyway, enjoy your time off and happy trekking. ATB, Ryan.

[@chrisarnold4709]

Cheers Ryan, unfortunately been up and over the Fan so many times over the years one way and another! Parked in Cwm Gwdi barracks a few times. I actually like the extended circuit from Talybont parking at the Bike hut there although that path back down at the end of the day is a bit brutal given the stones are so uneven...😮. I might try your route on the other side round Fan Llia on my leave week to be honest 👍

[@wildaboutwales]

@@chrisarnold4709 yes, that area is beautiful to walk, Chris, and much more peaceful. I've revisited there for a walk recently with Marianne, and we headed to the Medieval Rabbit Farm in Ystradfellte, so peaceful and a lot of land that I've never explored. I hope the weather stays good for you.

[@neilhunt7452]

Great video Ryan, tremendous drone work and editing again, real quality. We always look forward to your next adventure. You did make me chuckle, those first few sips of that sour beer, you were very polite in your comments 😂. Your face said it all mate. Jeep them coming.

[@wildaboutwales]

Thank you, Neil, I appreciate the positive comments. I'm hoping to try another sour beer on my next camp, hopefully they will taste better than the cherry one 😁 thanks for watching, mate.

[@andrewedwards67]

Well done again Ryan, your editing is fantastic fairplay.

[@wildaboutwales]

Cheers, Andrew...and thanks for watching 👍🏼

[@Alostwanderer88]

Cracking camp that was mate. Love me some penderyn too, have a small bottle next to me in fact 😂. Always bring some penderyn back when I go north Wales every year. Take care mate

[@wildaboutwales]

Thank you, mate, it's a cracking spot to pitch. You may as well get it down you, it's no good in the bottle 😂 thanks for watching. Take it easy, Ryan.

[@CarlEvz13]

Another great video Ryan that drone footage is amazing! I said before it looked so nice and chilled up there and to top it off with a nice glass of Penderyn whiskey 🥃 can’t beat it mate and that time lapse of the night sky was mint. Look forward to the next adventure atb mate 👍🏻

[@wildaboutwales]

Thank you, Carl. It was a great night and a camp to remember, I was lucky to have it to myself. Take care, mate. ATB, Ryan.

Recently subbed and really enjoying your videos. Cribyn shelf is very popular at the moment it seems, pretty obvious why warching this. ATB, Roger

[@wildaboutwales]

Thank you, Roger and welcome to the channel. I'm a lot like yourself and usually enjoy the more remote spots away from the masses, but I do love visiting this spot for a camp once in a while, it's quite magical. ATB, Ryan.

[@TyroneOutdoors]

Enjoying this on the TV. Very well filmed and a relaxing video mate. That chocolate sounds great I had a cheaper version from Tesco

Always a great camp with you and you're trusted companion . Really chilled camp Ryan thank you ( I could tell from your first sip of the Cherries sour bear , it wasn't going to be one to take on another wild camp 🤨 ) ATB Phil 👍

[@wildaboutwales]

Thank you, Phil. Nope, it wasn't for me, but I'm going to try some more sours as people have been saying good things about them. ATB, Ryan.

[@thevalleywalker]

As ever beautifully video'd. For some reason I thought I had watched this, I must have been thinking of the short or IG reel maybe? Anyway, cracking watch as ever but Toby's food needs to be seen eaten...lol. All the Best Alan

[@wildaboutwales]

Alan, he ate that steak so quick I didn't have time to hit the record button. Thanks once again for watching, your support for the channel is much appreciated, mate. ATB, Ryan.

[@wildaboutwales]

Thank you, mate, much appreciated. Yes, go and treat yourself, Lee, why not! You won't see many new shiny new tents on my channel, I've got what I need and make do with what I've got. As long as I'm comfy and I'm in the outdoors , that's all that matters. Thanks for watching, bud...take it easy!

[@darrenlane3168]

Thanks for taking the time to share these, mate. Very enjoyable. Pen Y Fan brought back memories of P Coy! 😢

[@wildaboutwales]

Thanks, mate, I'm glad you enjoyed. Great memories though 👌🏼 But it is much more enjoyable tabbing around the Beacons as a civilian. ATB, Ryan.

Hello Ryan. Nice mate. Cracking spot and all yours. Beautiful views, good grub, one good beer and one minging one😂 Nice explaining about Penderyn, liked that. The weather's crazy this year. Mad walker with his early morning music😂 Good vid again mate. I was up that way camping Friday, on the other side of the road.

[@wildaboutwales]

Thank you, Jamie. The weather has been unbelievable the last 12mths, you've really got to get out and make the most of it when the sun is out. I'll have to keep an eye out for your video, I watched Llyn y Fan Fach, but have been so busy I forgot to get back and leave a comment on there. It looked a great night, despite the rain. Happy camping, mate 👌🏼

[@JamieHarding5]

@@wildaboutwales It's no problem mate. I can you are really busy. It's cool honestly👍 I'm playing around with shorts more now. Trying to figure them out 🤔 I don't think they can be figured out though😂 I put them up different days and times. I've had some big ones but not for a while. I just use now to show where I am next really. I think we'll have a better run with the weather soon. Snowdon for me soon, perhaps next weekend, if it's wet I'll camp by a big waterfall instead. You show Wales so well⛰️💪

[@wildaboutwales]

@@JamieHarding5 Thanks, mate. I find the shorts bring in some subscribers, so they're worth the effort in helping the channel grow. Have a good one up Snowdon, it's a great place to adventure.

[@Camp-N-Wilddragon]

Stunning drone footage Ryan, your getting good with that drone. Mine broke a few weeks ago, my old man was kind enough to lend me his until I can afford a new drone. Probably be looking at the mini 3. You certainly was in the moment with that whiskey up on cribyn. Enjoyed this and look forward to more future adventures ohh yeeaahh

[@wildaboutwales]

Thank you, Dai. Ah, I'd be gutted if my drone died, sorry to hear that fella. The Mini 3 would be my choice if I bought another one. I bought mine refurbished off a trusted seller on eBay, as good as new with a year's warranty and it saved me a few quid. Thanks for watching, bud. Take it easy!

[@dereklawday4402]

Nice camp! Not a fan of Penderyn whiskey, but I do appreciate a most whiskeys . As for the sour IPAs they are very hit and miss. Hi Toby!

[@wildaboutwales]

I do admittedly prefer a good Scotch. I'd heard good things about this sour, but it wasn't for me. I will be trying some more. Thanks, Derek.

[@dereklawday4402]

@@wildaboutwales cheers. With so many artisanal breweries popping up , we have so many choices. I love to try different ones, although not always good they will quench the thirst.

Brilliant video, definitely my favourite channel, I am looking forward to seeing a woodland camp. I always enjoy the way that different landscapes make me feel. Do you ever drink rum? One of my favourite drinks is roast coffee kraken If you haven't tried it I would really recommend it.

[@wildaboutwales]

Thank you, Stuart. It's nice to hear you're enjoying the channel. Yes, I do love a woodland camp, so hopefully I can tick that one off soon. I don't mind a Rum if I'm offered a glass, it's a good drink to warm the cockles on a cold night. I think we bought a bottle of that Kraken for my stepson, but I never tried it. Thank you once again, ATB, Ryan.

[@nicholasromans5816]

Lovley little spot there, fairplay your camp food is too notch ha the sour I like is another vocation and it's the raspberry strawberry coconut ripple , look out for that I'd think u enjoy that 1 , that peated penderyn is it the Celt? I need to try that if it is, and that coffee stout I had that on my camp on the weekend it was lovely definitely get it again, keep up the good work hopefully I'll see u on the hills 1 day 👍👍

[@wildaboutwales]

Thanks, mate! It's a cracking little spot. It's the Penderyn Peated. That Tonka is a tasty drink isn't, a nice kick to it too. I'll have to look out for that Vocation, I love coconut. Yes, I'm sure I'll see you out there soon, bud. Thanks for watching 👍🏼
