If you want a right laugh, watch this video with the subtitles on, RU-vid clearly doesn't understand Welsh.
A Vlog of a recent wild camp on the summit of Picws Du overlooking Llyn-y- Fan Fach In the Black Mountain range of the western Brecon Beacons.
The hike start point was a layby on the side of the River Tawe on a road north of the Tafarn-y-Garreg pub, situated on the A4067. Coordinates: 51°52'11.1"N 3°40'01.8"W.
From here I crossed the River Tawe and followed the path to the right of the Nant-y-Llyn river upstream for 1.5 miles to Llyn-y-Fan Fawr.
I then summited Fan Brechiniog before crossing over the plateau to reach Picws Du. The hike length was just over 3 miles and involved 1,700ft of ascent.

Great video mate. I done Pen y Fan during my platoon sergeants battle course. No sleep for 3 days then we tackled it. Was blacking out going up it. Hardest thing i’v ever done in my life but well worth it

@rodricjenkin7518 Год назад

Thanks so much we did this route with my two kids and had an amazing time. An absolute gem of a trip.

@stuartrowe3761 3 года назад

What a great video! Going to go up there. Looks like your channel's new? Going to watch as it grows as I'm sure it will. Good stuff!!

@HazzM 3 года назад

Must be a new channel. Cracking filming and general production, sound quality was decent enough other than some windy sections. Really well done

Great video and editing mate. New sub 👍🤙

@MrWildWales 3 года назад

That first little valley is lovely I've been up there quite a bit. I've got that same tent too and had that exact lamb rogan josh last night too lol

@ohwhataknight 3 года назад

Tents a quality bit of kit, especially for the price. How does it far in the winter months?

@MrWildWales 3 года назад

@@ohwhataknight I find it warms up pretty quick as its so compact in there stands up surprisingly well in the wind too considering its just one pole

@krzysztofrzeszut7668 3 года назад

@lucy_orangina 2 года назад

Hi Chris... I just bumped to your channel and straight subscribed. Great production, I watched 4 waterfalls as well, like how detail you take us on path so I have now exact idea how it looks there. Im planning do this route soon. I have injury on my back so I can't currently carry backpack. I found solution with trolley to pull behind me, I know sounds crazy but I can't give up hiking and wild camping. I would like to ask you if there is on this route any scramble which possibly won't be managable with trolley. Like pro climb where I won't be able to pull it up and need both hands. I know sometimes this peaks has little surpising bits of scramble. Many thanks. Lucy

You've got yourself a new subscriber, great videos. I like the fact that you include the route map and where to park in your videos, I wish more vloggers did that. What website or app do you use to make the route map and is it free? Cheers

@EzeAdventurer 2 года назад

This is awesome bud! Thinking of heading up there for a solo midweek this or next week, what a beautiful spot! New sub from me :-) keep it going

@jamespickford6875 4 года назад

Mate this is absolutely incredibly well done! Hitting your straps with your hiking boots on ! Chur

@IgnacioGlezCllo 2 года назад

looks like a great hike/camp! I've only just started venturing into Wales (did the Pn-y-Fan loop in january). is the parking spot safe/secure?

@BasicBeachCommunity1 2 года назад

Nice 👍...ever hike Gower?

@HazzM 3 года назад

Good stuff, well done. Backing volume was a touch loud in places and you need a setup to reduce the wind. Cheers for the vid, subbed

@ohwhataknight 3 года назад

Cheers for the feedback and the subscribe.

@TimmyBobinson 2 года назад

What pack size are you using in the video? Also, trail runners, mid boot or full boot for that terrain? Thanks in advance. *Subbed.

@josephbaniqued7157 3 года назад

This is wicked mate! Do you happen to have the postcode for the place you parked at? Also are the parking sure ball free and there are no fines? Would this route touch base on all of the waterfalls?

@ohwhataknight 3 года назад

There's not a specific postcode unfortunately. I have written a blog post with detailed info on where to park: ohwhataknight.co.uk/blog/llyn-y-fan-fawr-hike-guide

@relarras 3 года назад

Do you mind sharing which app do you use to plan your hikes, navigating and finding routes? I have downloaded all the apps but can’t figure out which ones are upgrading to a premium account. Could use your 2 cents.

@JonWilliams1 2 года назад

He’s just released a video on this 🤙

@gamevidz6319 11 месяцев назад

Chris is the path usable in summer? Over grown etc

@ohwhataknight 11 месяцев назад

It's useable year round

@zeezeewildcamptv8403 3 года назад

Hi Chris, where you parked your car, is that anywhere near tafarn y garreg?

@ohwhataknight 3 года назад

I parked my car just off a single track road that runs parallel to the river Tawe. The turning is on your left shortly after you pass the tafan y garrerg pub.

@zeezeewildcamptv8403 3 года назад

Cheers chris hopefully get there soon once this is over, loving the content mate and you go to a lot of my favourite places with me being a local swansea dweller 👍🏻
