Black Mountains Hike and Wild Camp during stormy weather | Brecon Beacons | MSR Access 1
I didn't fancy a long drive in the Easter traffic so I went to the Black Mountains which are not too far from home. Even though I got held up in traffic only 5 minutes from home!
Unfortunately the weather turned out to be more stormy than forecast with very high winds on the ridges, as you can hear in the video, so I changed my plan to camp high and descended to the valley of Grwyne Fawr. This worked out well however it lacked the grand views of the higher ground.

The central Brecon Beacons National Park, or Bannau Brycheiniog, were looking stunning on this bright sunny, but very cold windy, winters day. I started the walk from one of the southern car parks, and did the classic horseshoe in a clockwise direction starting with an ascent of Craig Fan Ddu and finishing with Cribyn. The was a little snow on the tops and plenty of frost. There was also plenty...
Snowdonia Winter Wild Camp | Carneddau | Ogwen Valley | MSR Access 1
Переглядів 2 тис.10 місяців тому
A wintery wild camp below Pen Yr Ole Wen and Carnedd Dafydd in the Carneddau. The original plan was camp near the summit of Pen Yr Ole Wen, however I decided to camp lower down in Cwm Lloer partly due to a latish start and I could see there was a high wind on the tops as evidenced but the fast moving clouds. It turned out to be a good decision because the scenery was awesome and a quiet night r...
High Cup Nick walk | Pennine Way | North Pennines AONB
Переглядів 206Рік тому
Join us as we take a walk up to High Cup Nick in the North Pennines. We started out from the village of Dufton in relatively fine weather for mid October, but as we gained height we could see the dark rain clouds approaching, and the wind increasing with the altitude. The views nonetheless were beautiful and well worth the trip. Filmed 15 October 2022

A winter wild camp on Glyder Fawr with a fantastic view over the Ogwen Valley and Tryfan. It was a stunning sunny day which made for a beautiful ascent of the Y Gribin ridge with some scrambling near the top. The camp was close to the summit to the north west with fantastic views over the Ogwen Vally and over to the Irish Sea to the west. However the wind got up to over 50mph in the night which...

A winter wild camp on Lingmell Crag overlooking Great Gable, Mosedale, Red Pike and Pillar with views up to the Scafell's. Recent snowfall brought me to the Lake District in hope of a wild camp in the snow. The plan was to get view over to Great Gable and capture some video of the sunset, stars and sunrise. It was a beautiful start to the day, lots of sunshine glistening on the summit snows of ...

A winter wild camp on Glyder Fach with a fantastic view over Llyn Caseg-Fraith to Tryfan and the Ogwen Valley. It was a grey start to the day but this cleared giving a sunny afternoon and mostly clear night, but not the snow I hoped for. It was very windy giving a test for the MSR Access 1, which proved to be very stable and with very little tent noise. It has proved to be a great tent. The cle...

A blustery hike in the snow in the Brecon Beacons national park. With snow in the forecast I headed for the beacons and had a fantastic walk in very strong winds on the northern aspect. The walk started and ended at the Blaen y Glyn Uchaf car park on the southern side of the national park. Filmed 5 Jan 2022. Look out for the next video which will be of a wild camp on Glyder Fach in Snowdonia. #...
2021 wild camping highlights and looking forward to 2022
Переглядів 502 роки тому
A short recap of my wild camps of 2021 and looking forward to 2022. The MSR Access 1 proved to be a great tent. Plenty of room for a solo tent, and withstood strong winds, although I didn't experience any gale force winds. 2021 was disrupted by the lock down in the early part of the year, so hoping for a less disrupted 2022. I'm planning lots of wild camps so stay subscribed to my channel. #wil...
Lake District Wild Camp in the MSR Access 1, above Ennerdale. Hiking Red Pike, Scoat Fell, & Steeple

Wild camp in the MSR Access 1 overlooking Ennerdale. I started from Wasdale and hiked over Red Pike and Scoat Fell on a very hot afternoon which made it tough going. In the morning I went over to Steeple and low on water descended back to Wasdale. The pitch on top of a crag overlooking Ennerdale was perfect and I was treated to a beautiful sunset, and a warm night. There were midges but a sligh...

Brecon Beacons bivvy on the north ridge of Pen Y Fan. The weather forecast was good so I made a dash over to the Beacons, which are much closer to home than Snowdonia or the Lakes, to do some astrophotography. The main objective was to get a time-lapse of the Milky Way over the 3 peaks of Pen Y Fan, Cribyn and Corn Ddu. In previous attempts the weather failed me and it looked for a while as tho...
Crinkle Crags summit camp, Lake District, in the MSR Access 1 tent.
Переглядів 9013 роки тому
Wild camp on the summit of Crinkle Crags in the MSR Access 1. I climbed from Langdale via The Band to the col between Bow Fell and Crinkle Crags. It was a fantastic pitch, right next to the summit overlooking Oxendale and Great Langdale. The weather was changeable, low cloud swirling around the summits, creating dramatic views. Descent was via Great Knott to Oxendale.

Lake District wild camp on Englands highest mountain, Scafell Pike, with the MSR Access 1. It was a grey start to the afternoon but a near perfect evening allowed me to get a time-lapse of the sunset over Wastwater and a night-lapse of the stars over Scafell Pike. My route to Scafell Pike was from Wasdale Head via Lingmell, joining the Hollow Stones path above Lingmell Col.

Finally camped on this spot last night a fantastic place!
@@DJVOutdoors it certainly is. It’s one of my favourites.
Ah this looks familiar, my auntie and uncle live Abergavenny way, I was up on the offas dyke path last summer crossing the black mountains.
Ah my last video was this walk back in September, I recall it was the first cold weekend since summer. Good to see it here in the snow.
glad to see your out and about again Martin ! you've got some fantastic Wild camping videos , hopefully you'll get more done soon .the inspirational
Thanks. I’m hoping to get out more this year
Fantastic shots! You had a good one there :-)
Some great views and scenery there Martin. Enjoyed watching 👍
Thanks
Truly wonderful video sir also kept nice and short. What are the boots your wearing they look good?
Thank you. The boots are La Sportiva Aequilibrium - a winter boot.
Good to see you back
Thanks. Too many demands on my time unfortunately, but hope to get out more this year.
@@martingregoryphotographyI passed by this lake I think when I myself had camped directly on the summit of pen Yr ole wen. I stupidly went up the direct scramble from ogwen cottage where I should of gone up this way.
Came up on suggested. I know why. Brilliant. Bit of motivation to get back up there. Thanks
Thank you
beautiful vid will follow much more. Thanks
Thank you
What a brilliant video. Stunning time lapse and quality music makes this video stand out from the rest of the camping videos I’ve watched this year. Subbed 👍🏻
Thank you for your positive comments, appreciated 👍
That time lapse was bloody awesome, new sub here. ATB Paul
Thank you 🙏
New sub, fantastic content
Thank you 😊
Some cracking shots 👌🏻 and stunning time-lapse. Just subbed 👌🏻👍🏻
Thank you 🙏
👋 as usual a great video.
Thank you 🙏
Just subbed, love the time lapses, nice relaxing video. Cin cin
Thank you 🙏
I enjoyed that Martin. Great to see the hyper lapse which showed the ice crystals forming on the tent. A very well put together video! Thanks for sharing. Subbed!
Thanks 👍
Hi, awesome video. Just wondering if there are many lay-bys to put vehicle in for a wild camp there. Looks like a few on google maps or did you use a pay and display car park? Any info would be great. Thanks
I parked in a lay-by east of the Pen-y-Gwryd hotel and was free then. Don’t know if it still is. There is chargeable car parking in the area too.
@@martingregoryphotography thanks for the reply. Have stayed in a pay and display before, tend to be very busy though. Great news on the lay by. How did you find the access 1 for condensation?
@@johnsonpt2 Only had it on one wild camp, but it was a very damp night in fog. Otherwise only trace amounts.
Is parking fairly easy at the bottom? Looking to do this soon. Thanks
Yes. Just park at the end of the road where there’s a area of common ground. There will most likely be other cars there
@@martingregoryphotographythanks when the weather improves I’ll go.
Stunning landscape, shots and camp. New sub here
Thank you
Some great scenery. Have you any camps planned over winter?
Not at the moment as I’m back working full time so little time available. I will try and get a weekend trip in sometime in the coming months.
Glad to see you're back, always enjoy your vids 👍 Really is a strange looking place up there, always windy when I've been.
It’s a cool spot, it’s a place I’ve always wanted to visit so glad to have finally done it.
Hi Martin, new subscriber here 😁 enjoyed that video and it looked a lovely place to camp gonna check that place out next weekend and hopefully do a wild camp as well Cheers Mark 👌👍
Thanks Mark. It is a cool spot
Big fan
Can you please share with us which one camera and go pro you are use to making the beautiful video.
I use a GoPro hero 8, a Sony A7 and the camera on the iPhone 12.
Soo amazing
Thank you
Lovely views of one of my favourite locations. I loved the time lapse shots and stunning images on the cantilever... Wonderful
Thank you
Hi Martin, so glad I've discovered (and subscribed to) your channel. Seems like we cover the same ground quite a bit! You've given me some interesting ideas for camping locations - thank you!
Thanks for subscribing.
Some impressive time lapse shots there Martin. Looked great.
Thank you 🙏
I’ll be watching this soon, currently doing the west highland way. I camped on Pen yr ole wen a few weeks ago.
I would like to do the WHW. Be interested to hear how you got on
Hi Mr Martin. Climbing that peak was hard due to Rocky structure but worth the try, flat and nice views. Thanks to take as along there.
Happy to take you along 🙂
With ice no need to carry bottles of water. Thanks for those views Mr Martin.
👍
Another great video, thanks for sharing.
Thanks 😊
Nice one Martin. The opening shots and the timelapse's are superb....as usual
🙏
And the tent held up well in those winds? They looked strong on the top, another really good video.
Yes it did. It did rock a little in the stronger gusts, but it kept its shape and no damage. They’re tough tents. Thanks for the like.
@@martingregoryphotography went out in my orange one for the first time on pen y fan a week ago. Again I am reluctant to go out in windy conditions, I keep an eye on mountain forecast but watching this reassures me.
I can understand that. I wouldn’t normally go out when the winds are that strong.
Great video and those views are amazing!
Thank you
Nice to see you back, snowdonia has beautiful landscapes.
Nicely filmed Martin and good luck with the channel
Thank you 🙏
Hi Martin, new recent subscriber and first comment. Really enjoyed your video and I hope to be traversing the Brecon beacons at Easter. Kind regards. 👍🍺
Thanks for subscribing and enjoy your beacons traverse ✌️
Hi Martin, just discovered your channel and now watched a few of your videos back to back. Love your style and content. Absolutely awesome. Thanks for sharing. ATB. Mark
Thank you 🙏
Good afternoon, a fantastic video. Do you know roughly how fast the winds were and perhaps the top wind speeds you’ve been out with in this tent? I’m looking to get one.
I haven’t measured them so can’t give a number I’m afraid. I rely on the mountain forecasts when deciding to go out and the forecast for this trip showed only light winds, can’t remember what speed, but the exposed pitch meant they were stronger than expected.
Congratulations! Great film👌🏻👍🏻
Thanks
Nice channel. New sub here :)
Thanks
fantastic impressions ❤👍👍👍
Thank you
Another great video, love the timelapses. Keep 'em coming.
Will do 😃
Stunning scenery I’m hoping to take my access 1 out for the first time this weekend, might be a bit windy. Looks stable in this video.
Hope you have a great time ✌️
Lovely scenery and images Martin! Thank you for sharing 👍
Thank you
I ordered my access 1. Does it come with a footprint?
Good one. Mine did, but I think that was a special offer at the time.
@@martingregoryphotography thanks, it does say it comes with it as a special offer (elite mountain supplies). Thanks for all the advice and I’ll make sure to give your videos a shout out on my next camp!
@@DJVOutdoors I got mine from the same supplier, they do seem pretty good. Thanks
Is the access 1 good in wind?
Yes. My last wild camp was very windy overnight and it was very stable, and very little flapping noise. The video will be up soon.
@@martingregoryphotography great can’t believe you only have 50 subs no doubt it will grow. I’m looking at a 4 season tent and this tent seems excellent I like the orange colour!
@@DJVOutdoors thank you. I don’t really promote the channel so that’s probably why. The orange version will certainly stand out!! It’s a great tent, I don’t have any regrets. The only downside is it doesn’t come with enough guy lines so buy some more.
@@martingregoryphotography oh don’t worry about promoting it, I’ve not done anything with mine and I’m over 400 now
Looks like a great walk, made better by the snow. 👋
It was great
