If you'd like to follow along... Well, you know what to do! 🤪
In your intro you mention the secret infinity pool in Snowdonia then show footage of one of the well known and easily accessible plunge pools on the Watkin path, that's not the secret infinity pool everyone talks about, that's just a pool next to a popular and busy walking path up Snowdon. In your footage of the Fisherman's walk you include a sign post saying exactly where you are at the start, but alas it doesn't matter anymore as the ladders have since been removed, YT and Instagram content providers seeking out 'Hidden Gems' have increased it's popularity so much it was deemed a real safety concern so has had to be removed with no plans to reinstall it.
Was that your drone footage? As that whole area is a no fly zone for drones, please do your research in future, all channels shooting content need to be aware of where they can and can't fly drones, unfortunately the wonderful pools on the Watkin path have become increasingly popular with the help of YT and Instagram in the last 4 years, which wouldn't be so bad but it's now getting a lot of visitors who aren't hikers so aren't aware of the countryside code, so for the first time in my lifetime litter is becoming a real issue at the pools.
From Colorado USA, IMO, it's not wise to travel logging roads in Canada during the winter in a 4x4 not built for it. That Nissan doesn't have a lot of clearance. I'd not even consider anything less than 45 centimeters between the running boards and the ground. The other essential would be a big can of bear repellant spray clipped to my waist.
For future hikes in bear country. Bears do not always sleep through the winter. They can be up and about throughout winter, always be cautious in bear country and where you guys were always be on the watch for cougars.
Where to start. The sugur loaf was inspiration for lord of the rings and crickhowel. England was on both side of the river where you suggested wales. You missed out the the forge hammer. Welshbickner yha and symonds yat leasire park pubs. Also where a bloody bouncy aid and dont take glass on the river you capsize it ends up brocken in the river and some pour sod cut there feet
Please be careful out there if you're trying to build a RU-vid channel. You made a beautify video, but you got lucky. What I saw was a classic example of dangerously unprepared. The kind of thing that makes Search and Rescue cringe. First, no rental insurance will cover you on a working logging road. Not your credit card, not the rental companies insurance. if you totalled the car, the rental agency would have force-charged the full ~$30k value of the car against your credit card regardless of your credit limit. Second, and more worrisome; you did not have the right gear to survive even one night if things went sideways. And I hope you had a GPS communicator or told someone where you were going and when you'd be back. From what I saw of you two, I doubt it.
Do you have a map for where the quarry is that you did after the Watkins Path pools? Have a few trips to Wales this year and would love to pull that one in please
Great video. You should have taken the stairs to the bottom then followed the path a bit further and down under an overhanging cliff. You forgot to mention the drought that has plagued northern Spain for the last two years. The water level is really low there and the canyon is no longer passable in kayak. When crossing the first suspension bridge that area used to be full of water.
Fasolakia, spanakopita, gemista, melitzanosalata, horta, spinach rice, keftedes from squash, should I continue? Greece has lots of vegetarian options, also, they have 40 days of lent time before Easter, when all the animal products are forbidden.
I learned in Val D'Isere 15 years ago as a novice and I got on really well, Whistler is relatively user friendly in comparison and I loved it, best gentle ski resort recommendation would be Levi, Finland, but be warned its COLD; but great video, keep calm and carry on skiing.
Hey! Not a diss comment but more of a info comment. PLEASE BE CAREFUL OUT THERE! Especially down these logging roads/remote roads especially in Canada. It's a vast wilderness out there and often times there is no cell service to call for help. Check the weather, check road conditions, do your research, don't be dangerously unprepared, especially for winter in Canada in the mountains where conditions can change in an instant.
Born and rasied in Beautiful Britain Columbia, Canada 🇨🇦 I don't know where you're from, but watching the magical wonder of you both made my day ❤ Amazing video!
The luck you guys had . I lived in Pemberton for 6 years driving around those roads You guys got lucky in multiple ways #1 The snow #2 I found someone's tent and everything he had torn to peices like a bomb went off. There is a big angry grizz up there he must have been sleeping
Well, I agree with Abbie, you have shared the most beautiful memories together, so why not Put a ring on it!!! Besides, if you keep waiting for the best, you will never find it, because if you are not satisfied with what you have now, you will never be satisfied with what you will get then.
All trails are completely destroyed in 2023 leading to the hot springs. Big forest fire in 2023. Don't try unless you are ready to brake your legs. Sad news, but it is what I found in November 2023.
hey guys, you dont have an email listed on your about page so I thought I'd just comment my question. My girlfriend and I are going to go on a trip around France and shewanted to checkout a natural hotspring, is it possible to share where or how you got to the one in Pyrenees? I read that you guys want to keep it a secret but any information would be appreciated. Thank you~
Skip Whistler as a beginner...most kids in BC start at cheaper local mountains...also used to get deals through ski clubs in high school. Cypress, Grouse, Seymour are cheaper options...but so many other cheaper options...Mt Washington, Baker...Silverstar, Big White...Whistler is probably the worst place to learn to ski or snowboard for reg people on a budget...ah but marketing sucked in these Brits to Whistler;) Whistler/Blackcomb died as a semi affordable ski destination for locals back in the 90's...heck it was even expensive then;)
