Pistyll Rhaeadr |Wild camping in Wales | Kids first wild camp carrying their own gear
#wildcamping #adventure with the kids, testing their ability to carry their own gear or some weight.
Found a perfect spot by a #naturallake sheltered by the hills. It wasn’t a great swimming lake as it was overgrown with reed but good enough for a dip, but we got out fix of #coldwatertherapy the next day at the stunning #pistyllrhaeadr #waterfall
The route was only 2.5km with a small elevation of approx 328m.
They grumbled, they started off tired, but it became easier as they got used to, having some giggles on the way with a few blunders 🤣
Next would be to get the dog to carry her own back pack 😬
Leaving no trace and only footprints behind, we all had a good time

Car camping conversion BMW X3 | No-build car camping set up

Here is what my no build car camping set up looks like in my 2018 BMWX3. If you have a BMW X3, you’ll know the seats does not fold flat. Previously I had a fold out platform so I can achieve a flat level surface to car camp in, but with a bit of pursuasion, I found that you can remove the back passenger seats quite easily, so when you fold the back rests down, you get a relatively level flat su...

If you have a BMWX3 and enjoy car camping like I do, then you will have the same problem as I do - the rear passenger seats doesn’t fold flat! So I have had to build a platform so that I have a level base in order to sleep on. BUT that means I lose approx 17-20cm of head room, and a bit of faffing with space. The platform has worked as I can store things in an organised manner under the platfor...

    If you're in North Wales I would highly recommend upper corris, there is a quarry there where some random guy has built loads of sculptures/structures and carved patterns into the rock. I think it was a homeless guy who lived there or something but it's the most surreal place I've ever been and that's coming from someone who hates Wales...lived there 5 years and the open racism and small village mentality was too much. Soz for the random comment it's just I had an instant flashback from the gate at the start.

      @seldom_bucket ooohhh sounds like a cool place to visit, I’ll add it to the list 😁 Don’t worry about random comment, coming from an ethnic minority I know what it can be like. It’s sad but I just think a lot of it is down to lack of education. Regardless, it shouldn’t stop you from living life and enjoying the small things the world has to offer 🥰
