Windy Cadair Idris Summit Wild Camp

Wild Camping in Eryri on a Windy Cadair Idris Summit
In this video myself and a couple of mates head for a night on the summit of Cadair Idris. Legend has it that if you spend the night on the mountain you’ll end up mad or a poet. Well I can tell you that that I’ve not turned into the next Shakespeare and neither have I gone mad. The route starts off following a stream and some small waterfalls before coming out into a valley. Once we hit the lake we then ascended via the ridge on the left. It’s a steady pull up to the first summit with breath taking views back down to the lake. Once we hit the summit we checked out the emergency shelter and later we cook food in there. We pitched right on the summit with stunning views down to the sea. During the night the winds picked up and I had to adjust the tent a couple of times. Soon as sunrise hit we packed up the tents and got off the mountain as the winds had picked up a fair bit. I hope you enjoy this video as much as we enjoyed the camp. Catch you on the next one.

That’s Wales for you mate, it’s brutal on the top when it turns, but the tents took it 🍺👍

[@iamchriswhelan]

Aye man. Was good to see the tent in some wind aswell. Forecast was for it to get stronger so we just got off early doors. Appreciate you watching 👍

[@GoodBlokeOutdoors]

😂😂😂 creasing at that spillage man, something i’d deffo do

[@iamchriswhelan]

So funny man. I've watched it over about 50 times that bit and has me over every time. Appreciate you watching man 👊

[@wendingourway]

Fantastic video. Thanks for sharing. 👍1

[@iamchriswhelan]

Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching 👍

[@rbreiff73]

Can you just tell me when you're heading out please, so I don't need to follow the forecast. Cheers

[@iamchriswhelan]

That's I do is follow the forecast man. Thanks for watching man 👍

[@Henrz999]

Any issues with parking at Ty-Nant car park?

[@iamchriswhelan]

None matey 👍

[@Northern_Rockhopper]

Nice video mate, still haven’t been to Wales myself. Food always tastes better after it’s been on the floor anyway #seasoning 😆

[@iamchriswhelan]

Appreciate you supporting the videos man. Get yourself to Wales for sure. There's some mega places. I've smashed Wales over the years before I started filming my camps. I'll definitely get some filmed.

[@lewissimo]

Good Effort ! Is it ok to park overnight in the carpark ?

[@iamchriswhelan]

Thanks alot! We just paid up till midnight and risked it. We was sound. If you don't Wana risk it there is a camp site round the corner and you could probs pay for a spot there and then head up for camp instead.

[@Wildviking8]

Where did you leave the car overnight ?

[@iamchriswhelan]

On the car park man

[@WildCampWithDan]

[@iamchriswhelan]

Yes Dan. Glad it made you laugh. Catch you on the next one 👍

[@Olan...]

[@iamchriswhelan]

[@JamieHarding5]

Hello Chris. I enjoyed that. It's funny I camped there about two weeks ago. Put my video of it up about 5-6 days ago. Have a look😁👍 I subbed and commented to you after watching your shorts on Lake District camp. I'm going up there soon. I was happy and suprised to see you on Cadair Idris. You had crazy wind🤦🏻😂 Nice to eat in the shelter👍 Good vid mate. Feel free to tell me mine is crap😁 I'm camping again next week. All the best👋

[@iamchriswhelan]

Aye man I try to get to a snea spot each time I camp. Did you camp on the summit? It gets quite abit of wind up there coz it's exposed. The lake district is a beautiful place and you'll enjoy. Thanks for watching matey 👍

[@JamieHarding5]

@@iamchriswhelan Hi mate. I walked up to the trig and back to the car park. Walked back up to the lake with all my gear and camped at the lake. It was pretty cool with the light on the lake. You were holding your tent for dear life🤣 I was looking out at the lake and thinking, wow this is so nice and quiet. Have a look tomorrow😁👋
