what a fantastic walk i must do that,have you got that walked maped on altrails please? or is it easy to find,were did you park? love your channel new sub
@@sweeneyTodd-de4by thanks. There is a link to the Ordnance Survey map of the route in the description. I don’t use Alltrails.
how fit do you have to be to do this in one day?
It’s perfectly doable in a day. The biggest climb is at the beginning, with some shorter up and downs along the ridge. If you do it in the summer when days are long you can take breaks and take it steady.
Long walk…
@@Boyt212 Not very, but a good one if you’re pressed for time!
What a great route, love the content Matt
@@philheydon8132 thanks Phil! 😁
That was great - stunning route 👌
@@PhilipOlsen11 thanks, the views from the cliffs were amazing.
Lovely video...beautiful!
@@carolynkimbrey1423 Thanks Caz, it was a lovely day with Mr K
That was great. You really wet my appetite as I’m off there at the end of the month 😁👍
Nice walk and video. Thank you for sharing. Take care,.
What a lovely, chilled out video. Perfect for a Friday morning watch. :) lovely location.
Hello from Malvern, glad you enjoyed your hike. I have been lucky enough to have had the hills as part of my play ground for most of my life.back in the 80s my secondary school used to march us over the hills just 10 miles for sponsorships, we loved it. Haven't been up there for 10 years due to being home bound, but I live on the foothills so I see them every day. Thanks for the great video it really made me happy to see all those bluebells.😁
@@ellengraham4677 Thank you for letting me know. That’s really nice to hear. You’re very lucky to have them on your doorstep, it’s a beautiful part of the country.
Stunning route 👌❤️
Hi, loved this video and UA-cam recommended this to me as i probably spend a lot of time around the Malverns! I hope you don't mind i used some of your drone footage on a recent video of mine and gave you credit on the video description? If its not ok, i can take the video down if you prefer?
Hi, I’m glad you enjoyed the video and that the drone footage was useful to you. Thanks for the credit 👍🏼
@@outandabout- thank you for your support!
Great route. I did it in January and it was one of my favourites. Looking forward to doing it again 👍
Love the video. Many thanks.
Beautiful and breathtaking sun dappled landscapes. Thanks for posting.
As Robert Gibbings said in his 1947 Coming Down The Wye, 'it's no bigger than a bowler hat.' I love it there - you had a good day for it. All the best. Mark
Thanks Mark. Yes, got very lucky with the weather.
@@outandabout- A pleasure. As I said Robert Gibbings in his 1947 Coming Down The Wye said, 'it's no bigger than a bowler hat.' Yes, the weather was good.
Spectacular. Possible to wild camp around here ? This video was taken recently ?
Thanks - the video was from a couple of weeks ago (June 24). I have seen people camping down by the lochan below needle rock.
Thanks for uploading this. I just completed it today. However, after joining the country lane at the 8:00 minute mark in your video, I turned right at the next junction, as I thought if I stayed on that 1st lane, it would take me back to the A479. No harm done though, as I ended up on the same road back to the Cwmdu car park, but with an extra 4km in the rucksack!😄😆
At least you picked great weather for the walk! And an extra bit of mileage is all good training! 🙂
Wow!! Fantastic place. The scenes are incredible. Thanks for sharing. 👍6
Incredible views and great presentation, thank you.
Thanks - it really is a stunning location!
@@outandabout- That it is. But a long way from me, perhaps one day.
Thank you so much for posting this. i am in the USA but my mother was British and my grandmother lived in nearby Colwall. Brought back some nice memories of my visits to England and climbing those hills.
You’re welcome. Thanks for that comment too, it made me happy 😃
Great video , I haven’t done this one yet but it looks amazing can’t wait! It looks rough and wild there. Good effort, amazing 360 views offered from summit on clear day. Have subscribed
Thanks for watching and subscribing. The path on the ridge is fine but elsewhere it's more of a challenge. But worth it. Hope you get good weather.
Worked there for years. My dog still is scared of the bridge. Subscribed
Well done all of you. I was just up that way a week ago. Put my vid up today. It’s a beautiful place. You had amazing weather too. I did the circular route, 12 miles from the car park and back. All the best on your next one.
Beautiful video. Thanks for sharing. 👍2
You’re welcome. I got very lucky with the weather!
Hiked the rhinogs yesterday, starting around where you did (though took the bus and walked to the carpark) doing Rhinog Fawr first, then Fach and making my way towards Barmouth across Y Llethr and Diffwys. I descended the southern route you took up Fawr and it is NO joke. Lots of difficult scrambling and virtually no indication of a path!
It’s a tough route. Hope you had good weather.
Fantastic video, very helpful and informative, as I am heading to the Malvern Hills this summer for a few days hiking. Thanks.
I hope you get as lucky as with the weather as we did!
Beautiful video. Thanks for sharing. 👍2
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching
Amazing video. Thanks for sharing. Sub & 👍11
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it.
You had some good views. It's a great walk. Not easy one but a beautiful place to spend your time outside. 👍
Good video. I love it up there. I went up again last month. I can see you’ve been busy on many🚶🏻♂️👏👏👍
Thanks. Yes it’s a great walk. I try to get out as often as possible. Lots of other videos on the channel 😃
@@outandabout- I'm the same. I get out as often as I can. Lake District for me soon. I can see you recently been up that way.👍
@@JamieHarding5 yes, one of my favourite places. I’m slowly ticking off Wainwrights. Wish I lived nearer!
@outandabout- Yeah long drive for me too. 5 hours. I'm having 3 nights wild camping there in a couple of weeks. I'll be busy.😁👍
Like it ..👏 and I liked the end too that gave the altitude and distance as position on map from start to the finish .. and I'm sure I'd have liked the pint of theakston's best bitter after too ...! 🍻
Thanks. I add the route to all my walking videos. 👍🏼
Hello my frend,,
Hello there!
Enjoyed this , new sub here 👍🏕
Thanks. Very much appreciated 👍🏼😃
@outandabout- always happy to support a fellow outdoor youtuber 👍🏕
Another great hike with wonderful scenery, nice one 🙂👍
Thanks 👍🏼
great views!!
Plenty of fresh air on that one. Best wishes on the next escapade.
Ha! Yes, no shortage of fresh air.
Great hike in tough conditions. We remember this one very well especially the steep ascent to Seatallen. We finished by heading left to the Joss Naylor cairn and down from there. Well done
Who exactly is Kirk and what was he doing up there?
😂
Good vid mate. Looking forward to getting up to the Lake's later this year 👍🏼
Thanks. I don’t usually get there often enough. But will be back in April
Good vid. Great to finish with a pint.😁👍
Always the best option if it's available 😃
Very nice. Love it up there.
Hi. I really enjoyed that. I just noticed you have loads of vids. Lots of places I have on my list to do very soon.😁 Thanks. Just liked and subscribed. I will follow your journey moving forward. Look forward to your next one.👍
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. Always good to share good walks!
The weather has been rubbish lately. I'm hoping to get up a mountain on a clear day soon. I've got something planned for the next few days. Spring be here in no time. I'll check out some of your older vids in the week.👍
Wow, beautiful views. That is one thing I miss about the Uk, the countryside. All the best. Clive. 🤠
Thanks for watching - glad you enjoyed
Interesting that you should mention 'Starfish' sites. Apparently these often did attract a lot of enemy bombs. In a book 'The Secret War' by Brian Johnson there is an account of this and many other cunning ploys. The author explained that a common configuration employed a network of perforated pipes that dribbled fuel oil around the site. In addition, there was a second network of water pipes and sprinklers, feed from a cistern that had a typical municipal toilet flushing mechanism. An operator, who was stationed in an underground bunker nearby, would light the Starfish burners when required, and would periodically flush the loo now and again. The water would cause the fires to flare up in a most convincing way. One particularly successful night occurred on March 16th 1941 when 300 bombs fell on the Downside site near Bristol. Apparently, it was said that the duty wasn't very popular! I like to imagine the likes of Corporal Jones and Private Pike, huddled in a bunker, amid the dust and smoke, arguing about whose turn it was to flush the loo.
Thanks for adding that. It’s hilarious that the defence of Bristol relied on the flushing of a toilet!
Me too in February 2023
What an amazing place to explore! Never seen anything like that! Love those frosty sunny days, so beautiful! 🥰
Thanks Karen. Yes, my favourite type of weather for walking (if it's not summer)
Seemed quiet for March, which week was it and how long was the morning lift que at the bottom station. Nice edit cheers.
We went 11th March. It was pretty quiet. We got the fast track lift passes so only a 10 min queue on average. Once we got up to the ski area the queues were very short
@@outandabout- Thanks, just watched another review which showed a few ways of avoiding the long que, my last visit was 2017. really enjoyed it.
@@peterharris3096 we saw a few people getting taxis up to the ski area. Hopefully the snow will be better next year, the snow road was only just ski-able, but I understand it is usually fine at that time of year
Ah Belas Knap, amazing place. Visited this ancient site several times over the years. Great vid. 🙂
Yes, it’s amazing that it’s been here for so long
What beautiful scenery! Thank you for sharing your hike!
You’re very welcome! It’s a beautiful place to walk in
@@outandabout- Have a good evening!
