3 Days on Brecon Beacons - day 1 

Awesome view ! No camera in the world could capture the grandeur of a sight like that I`m sure. Great seeing Wildsoul with you, she`s Definitely a Trooper ! Thank You Funky for bringing me along. going to watch 2 now. ATB

Awesome views, great seeing you out again, great seeing vee as well. Hope Pete is doing better

Brilliant video Funky, cant wait for the next day. Your channel is great as you are a regular guy who shows things as they are which attracts people just learning. Some channels portray themselves as experts and have no interest to many people. Your knowledge is massive, your USP is how you put the info across :-)

Another great video from Funky. Thanks Daren. All the best from Spokane Valley WA. Navy Davy.

You were lucky with the weather Darren. I climbed Corn du and Pen y fan a few years ago with a good friend. We set up a portable radio station at the top. Wonderful stuff. Looking forward to part two. Sandy

WildSoul!!! yea boy!!! nice to see her out and about!! hope ya'll had fun!

Great views thanks for this upload looking forward to next part

Excellent video mate - everybody loves the woods but the high fells are something truly special :-)

great video funky can't wait until the next part it looks absolutely stunning

That sheep must have been thinking,....hmm, trespassers, get off on my land. Lol

Gday Funky great video of day 1 looking forward to the following days. I got to Brecon last year after competing in the invictus games. My wife and i stayed at a place called the baily stable for a bit of a holiday. Well thanks again for sharing your adventure from down under in Australia.

Great video and beautiful scenery - thanks for uploading

Good effort lad, good effort. The sites are just amazing. Thanks for the post. Regards Moose

Hiking poles make a huge difference Daz & like you said especially on the downhill & over technical terrain they help steady you with a heavy pack. Looking forward to part two. Good hike guys.

Excellent vid, wot Brecon with no rain lol you got me chomping at the bit to get back up there. When the snow gets here I will have to get up there. Looking forward to part two. Atb.

Very enjoyable. Off to watch part two now!

Looking good Darren, good to see Vee looking after your safety :) Cheers.........Les.

Beautiful that's the best I have seen it !

Great video mate, you certainly had the weather for it😄 lovely to see all the stars out as well, only about 30mins from you should have call in for a cup of tea lol.

Great vid Darren! hope all is well with Pete, was bummed he couldn't make it..I really like the team videos with roach an Pete.

Gorgeous location, wow. Spectacular views.

Good times. Brecon Beacons landscape sure is pretty.

Awesome vid brother, glad to see you out and about again and with V no less! Don't tell Pete, but I am going to guess a few of us are OK with him sitting this one out, lol. +1 for the poles!

Daren.... Brought back a goodly few memories mate, ( fan Dance) Few nightmares as well. in the timed, weighted, bergen marches and the odd escape and evasion mate. Vee, was spot on when she said the weather there can turn on a sixpence mate, it seems to have it's own Eco system.. be safe Mack .

nice on darran cant beat the beacons on a sunny day its a stunning place to be look forward to p2 atb alb

looks like you were lucky with the weather! looking forward to part two

great video and awesome views of the landscape

man your channel is so good. fair play

Glad you enjoyed a trip to my back yard, day one looked like lovely weather your were very lucky. Knowing your fondness for fine whiskey i Hope you stopped in the penderyn distillery on your way past

Fantastic. I could not access those places, sea level guy here too I am somewhat past it TBH. Really appreciate you guys filming your travels. Cheers.

I need to get back up a hill totally unfit at the minute. nice to have a nice view. weather played ball too.

sweet camp! glad you had fun!

Somethin a bit different great stuff a very enjoyable vid. Looking forward to watching part two. Thanks for sharing. Cheers.

Looks like a nice place. Any sheep come over at night or in the morning guess ill be waiting for the next vid. Thanks for sharing.

absolutely stunning and the sound was perfect no wind noise, I had mentioned once before about bananas for leg cramps but couldn't remember what in them that was supposed to work, potassium is what it is so if you get chance to try them maybe they will work for you. atb stay safe Mark in Texas

beautiful walk Funk!!

awesome video pal thanks for sharing

Corn du (corn dee) and the fan are where i spent every weekend playing as a kid, it was my massive playground. Amazing place. Nice vid! :)

A lot of reservoirs drained in the UK and US... I wonder why that is?

Wow...that's on my bucket list. I've always wanted to ruck and camp where the UK special forces get tested. Fantastic video, Funk.

Nice to see a beacon video where the weather is nice lol

Love the wide open space. Reminds me of west of the Mississippi in America. I am surprised at the lack of trees. Are the sheep wild, or are they owned by someone?

This video is fantastic I'd love to do some of the things funkyprepper does. Definitely the outdoors life for me!

Wow mate, you struck lucky with that weather! Well done, and doesn't that view make it all worth it? Nice one Funky :-)

totally awesome funky. uncle sam sent us to train with you lot. those nice gents from sas took us there for a lovely (raining/snowy) hike.looks gorgeous now. can't wait to see the rest . oh my 6yo. says you rock lol

Looks like you are up for a good workout on this trip :) Thanks for the video from this beautiful place. - Martin

Great weather for a reunion with the brecons!

Very cool,miss ya V.

really looking forward to these vids, i did a vid on pen y fan this year so will love to see how you get on :) walking poles worked great for me on the decent, i went lightweight 12kg pack. still hard work if you are not doing it every week. :)

Brilliant. Awaiting the next part. I Love the Beacons. I think I need to pay more attention to my fitness level.

ready for the next part.

loved the video Daren, I live in Wales about 20 mins away from Brecon and I love it. you should go to snowden in the future its nice up there but I think Brecon is better.

awesome views brother

Good to see you geting out and about atb steve

:) 4G on the top of the hillside. :) Where I live in the states (fly over territory) we only get the last version of cell service. When they come out with 5G they will remove the 4G equipment from a big city and move it here . We have 2G and maybe 3G in some areas when the signal from someplace else sneaks in on us. I have set myself up with a walking stick. I never used on exclusively before now but I find it really useful these days. Getting old I think I am :) When we deployed to the med, we operated the radar and electronic equipment. But the lookouts standing outside with binoculars were considered part of our sensor system. So we constantly had them on the communication net with us. We had the dimly lit air conditioned classified information container for a work space and they had the weather. So they were always asking for info about ships schedule, liberty ports, and most importantly if the deployment had been extended . We would always sing Bing Crosby I'll be home for Christmas to them. or Dean Martin White Christmas :)

ahhhh really enjoyed the video them was the days at 60 and riddled with arthritis I can only manage short hops now. but try to get out to the woods at least once a week rain or shine. if I am going to be sore it may as well be somewhere nice.looking forward to part 2 be good

nice one mate beautiful country must get up there sometime. Atb Ron

Amazing, absolutely amazing!

pen y fan is the saddle and that sheep trail is the old Roman road , but hay enjoy.

Oi funky did you swear at that sheep ?? Lol. it really does look as pretty as a picture,wildsouls a good girl too,thumbs up mate.stay funky !!

love your videos mate I'm beginning prepping now once I'm up and running gunna start doing videos using my bo bags in different locations face the elements head on any advice for me mate

You beat me with your vid up first! ... What a fantastic weekend it was ... Missing the hills already.. we were blessed with that weather eh . Vee

love it mate. c.c

Ah home, I live in the Valley's and this is the kind of view I get every time I'm out, god vid mate and well done on humping the pack to the top. Oh and it's pronounced Corn Dee not Corn Do :0)

Quite an adventure! , ... Clark

Fantastic Funky. Rather you than me though taking a Vulcan hill walking.

Pen Y fan is 30 mins from home, been there many a time, so lucky to have it on my door step, glad you liked the views funky.By the way what's the tune at the beginning of the vid?

Great stuff brother ! :D

Soooo darn gutted I couldn't make it mate, was thinking of you guys all weekend & what you were getting up to...literally getting up the Brecons. You are now christened as a fully fledged Brecon trek nutter lol...even more so next time if/when it's crap weather, still a bloody good time up there. You had spot on weather to savour the whole landscape, blinkin brill!! Like I said mate everything else is an anti climax low key event compared to getting up them mounts n hills. Glad you could get up there & experience it all. Nice one bro boyzzeee :-)

Funky come to Hereford we have quite a few good surplus stores

Nice one

Awesome views, including Vee's backside! ;-)

when we went down to the woods to day your Shaw of a big surprise

Oh yeh & just beyond the mint sauce sheep at 11.51 into the vale was where me & the goat pitched in the gale force overnight then got caught in the 70mph+ twister on the south west edge peak just before Fans plateau at 11.36 on ya vid.....happy life on the edge memories lol

Ahhh so you spent some time in my neck of the woods, so you must have survived those assassin sheep then!

gorgeous!

Well you sure got lucky and picked a good time to go.

3:59 the pensive smile of mr. gary gortex there !

Always carry powdered water.

what tent did you guys use?I like it.

Awesome spot Funky ! Can't believe how vast that area is, good stuff ! also how do you get around the Copy write laws with the music you put in your videos? I had to delete two songs out of one of my videos.... thanks !

Nice one funky....and it's Pronounced corn dee not bloody do lol

it great hand gliding ,

Where did you get the brecon beacons map?

Oh candy..... Oh candy..... Oh candy..... Oh candy. Welcome to the sweet shop for the eyes

awesome spot brother Funky!

Are you getting cramps because you don't take in enough salts etc? Sports gels might be a good shout for the cramps.

Nice vid funky really enjoyed this one. What do you do with the excess of the straps on the vulcan?

bro where did you sign up in the army? I joined at ranglan army base.

Iv'e tried poles and i know they are supposed to help but i just can't get on with them they get in the way

I hated every minute of that place. But that was 35 year's ago.

You guys are awesome. How was the blood moon! :)

Can i ask what air rifle you have? ATB

WoW🤣
