The sound of rain holds us prisoner The comfort of dry socks traded against a life of adventure. But life, like seeds yearning for sunlight, thrives on defiance. Coats are our only armour.

Teignmouth - the best place I’d never heard of
Excellent advice. Thank you. Especially having a driver. Being there as opposed to getting it over and done. And of course the banana skins!!
So true.
Everything spot on there. Done 3 peaks 4 times. 3 for charity in mini buses, so that was over a weekend. Our walking crew did it ourselves a few years ago with a dedicated driver. Started at Snowdon at 08-00. Up and down in 2 hours, 45 minutes. Then up to the Lakes, started at Wasdale, then sent our driver all the way around to Seathwaite. Did Scafell Pike, then down Grains gill to where our driver had just pulled up at Seathwaite farm as we were coming through the farm gate! Up to Fort William for the start of the Ben at 02-00. Up to the summit and back down in Glen Nevis at 07-30. Absolutely knackered. We did it mid-June and it was one of the coldest times I have ever spent on the summit of the Ben, and that includes winter, and we all had the correct kit.
Great video thanks for sharing the tips ! 😎 In the last few weeks I've done all 3 but hope to do the 3 peaks challenge in 24 hours just need to get my times up first ! I notice you mentioned about training I've been doing a tough section on the sw coast path between boscastle and crackington haven if you do an out and back the elevation gain is 3400 ft over 14 miles so it's a great way to get in shape and get used to going up and down steep climbs. Done the 4 peaks in Brecon 2 weeks ago that's a good one, but next I'm going to try the Yorkshire 3 peaks seems like a great challenge. Can't beat getting out into the mountains away from the crowds something unique about it and it's good for the soul 😎
really nice. thank you.
Welcome 😊
Ben Nevis,Snowden and what’s the other one?
It's Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Yr Wyddfa / Snowdon (no 'e')
Is there a company you could recommend to use for the 3 peak challenge?
Three Peaks Challenge is the company I do a lot of work for, there are others about, some good, some bad. Three peaks Challenge have their own vehicles so they are not reliant on coaches and coach drivers which can be a bit of a bind.
Do the 4 peaks and come to Northern Ireland. :-)
It's on my list to do actually!
Which camera was you using to film?
Insta360 oneR. It’s an older model now.
Enjoy the process and the journey well said 👊
That's defo the most important bit. Enjoy the training and getting out there consistently.
Great video and so informative. Doing the challenge in May, terrified but also excited!
May is a good time to do it. If you've done some training for it I'm sure you will be fine! let me know how you get on!
Me and two mates completed the challenge last September. We opted for the self driving and we used my company car. I was lucky enough to have my employers put my two mates on our vehicle insurance for the weekend we did the challenge so we structured the driving and resting periods between ourselves. One thing I will say is that after descending snowdon I was only able to drive from pen y pass to colwyn bay before having to pull over because I kept feeling myself drifting off to sleep. Self drive can be done for the challenge but I would recommend a long break / sleep in the car before heading off home. Also I can’t stress enough about having a very good quality head torch and back up torch with plenty of batteries.
Good point on the headtorch. I had someone turn up with a 80 lumen headtorch once. It wasn't bright enough to illuminate their feet, let alone the path ahead. Get a rechargeable one and charge it in the car, so it's fresh.
Do you fancy coming to help with my conifers? My housing wont help at all the expect me to do them but there a house an half tall!
You're going to have to get a local tree surgery business to deal with them by the sounds of it. If they are that big there will be a lot of waste branches to remove
Thank you for doing this! I’m doing 3 peaks later this year in a wheelchair, we are doing all 3 peaks in 48 hours. I’m so exited!
Wow! that sounds like a very hard but rewarding challenge! good luck and let me know how it goes!
Right. As someone who’s climbed Snowdon and Scafell on separate occasions. NOBODY is reaching the summit of either in a fucking wheelchair!!
@@garethedwards3379 funny you say that…. It’s already been done!!!!
Have you ever done the "Horseshoe" and "Fan dance" routes of pen y fan? These routes are the hardest I've achieved and I did both without training(not trying to brag, its just likely that I wouldn't have much chance to train for 3 peaks properly), do you think the 3 peak challenge is a similar difficulty or would I need to train? I understand it's physically more difficult but there is rest time during the travelling. If you haven't done those routes, I'd certainly recommend them, especially the "HorseShoe" route.
Excellent video thank you 🙏
You are very welcome
I found this video very interesting. Some parts were quite worrying to watch. So high & steap. Have you made a video on how you got down. I would be very interested to see that. Well done. 😊
Good day , just to say most people don’t usually come down this way but continue to summit if you will and follow the track down much easier than coming back the way . I personally have come down but not near as much fun as it is going up
good watch Rich! I've enjoyed it
Thanks man! From you that means a lot 😊
@@Point5TV good content! keep doing it
who made this???
It’s a Czech cartoon called Pat and Mat.

Great video, lots of really good points. I'm booked on to do the Challenge at the end of June and cannot wait! Cheers
Thank you!I wasn't sure if i was talking rubbish at times, so I'm glad to it's useful. Good luck and let me know how you get on!
Damit that was wild.
I enjoyed this video very much. The seaerary is lovely. Glad you got back safely but you do know what you are doing. 😊
Glad you enjoyed it
A very interesting video. I like your honesty about not being prepared: some crampons & an ice axe (with training) and you wouldn't gave had any bother with those snow patches. Good effort & decision to turn round when you did. The 3 sisters are on my list too!
@@mickeyhoward3851thank you. Yes, if I’d had crampons then it wouldn’t have been an issue at all. We started out in haste and given more time I might have remembered to pack them. I’ll be back to do them all at some point! Good luck when you get around to doing them!
That looks fun. Wouldn't want to do it at this time of year.
Thanks man. Nor me. brrrr ❄❄❄ Even May and June are cold in Church Beck!
Thank for the video it's very informative. Keep up the good work. 👍
Thank you sir! 😊
❤
Very informative thank you
Can you advise: We have a pine tree with cones, it's getting big but we just need to knw where to cut back so it keeps growing.
Pines (and most conifers) are really hard to prune correctly. They lack the ability to sprout from timber (broadleaf trees do this though epicormic buds) so you’re limited in how much you can take off. You’re limited to pruning back only as far as you can maintain green leaf cover. Cut the leaves (needles) off and it won’t grow anymore. So correct pruning would be to take little and take often. Often people leave it too long and take off too much. It’s hard to give anything specific without seeing the tree and knowing its species and location. I’d contact a few local tree surgeons and see what they think.
Very attractive. It's wonderful what this brave and active young man is doing.
Thank you ☺️
love that you showed that fusion. there's a doug fir near me i found that is 2 stems about 15 feet apart that join 20 feet above the ground and form 1 trunk, 1 crown. it's wild.
Are you allowed to have any barbecues there?
No, It’s not advisable to have them for lots of reasons. Wildfires being the most obvious, but also wood is scarce in places. Deadwood on the ground can be an important habitat for species and can deadwood in trees. Cutting down trees is also illegal and freshly cut wood does not burn well.
6200ft?? It’s 5000ft
This extend version is 6,200ft - imgur.com/a/7PJXR2L
Amazing video ! New sub. This was so informative, thank you!
Great video and plenty of information
Bit of an odd contradiction, titling this as a tutorial for the specific grade 1 scramble, then getting lost off-route completely and well into much harder climbing than is expected on North Ridge. For anyone interested, the normal route involves no climbing of obstacles any taller than myself (6'2, ~1.85m) and is overall nowhere near as technical as displayed here. The NR is easy to lose in bad weather and very unforgiving if you go off route and don't have the expertise and physical ability to boulder your way back on route. Please exercise caution or consider the Heather Terrace route.
Sorry, only just spotted this. Fair comment. It was filmed quite a few years ago now and I cannot for the life of me think why I thought using 'tutorial' in the title was a good idea. Must have blindly accepted one of the keyword tools I was using. I've updated the title.
@Point5TV Nice one, thanks for getting back to me! Glad to see you're still at it too.
Good info. Thanks.
I love this! I am "half-pollarding" willow, hazel, alder, ash, on my smallholding on The Wild Atlantic Way in the west of Ireland. I cut the 2- or 3-year old off-shoot branches in the second or third years...........but just half-way through, from top to bottom, so the cut-off lies horizontal. New shoots come up the following year from the gash. This forms a strong stock-proof hedge which I keep at about 4/5 meters high which increases in density each year. I don't know if this is "pollarding" but it works! Thank you for a very intresting video.
That sounds like the technique used in hedge laying where they partially cut through a branch and fold it over. It looks fabulous when done well and give a good solid hedge/living fence. Glad it was useful.
Our garden group started out talking about Empress Trees then referenced pollarding trees. Our PetSmart chops all the tree branches off every spring before they can get leaves or bloom. So sad. I'm not sure if I saw you cut back to a "V" in the branches and not leave stumps. The woman who started Plant Amnesty has passed away, and leaves many training videos for everyone to learn pruning.
My professors always disagreed with topping off of Crape Myrtles. However, since the land owners and bosses paid me to top them off I listened to them if they paid. The professor said it would cause long term decay in the tree and hurt it. But the old pollarded trees, that were done right, have lasted thousands or hundreds of years in Europe. What do you think?
Trying to pollard some Hackberry trees; they are growing far enough from my fence to cut to pollard , versus removing. I know Hackberries are not a preferred wood, but they do burn very hot. There is also an Elm, Pecan, and Live Oak on the fence lines, but the Live Paks are probably too large already(?). What height would be best: at fence level?, above fence level? Or under fence level? I’m trying not to ruin my neighbors new wood fence. Just trying to manage a problem on just 1/10 an acre, suburb lot. Really love your video, energy, and accent. Appreciate you sharing!
Thank you for the footage, doing a bit of research before heading over at the weekend 👍

Video titled the best way to scramble north ridge half way through “I’m of route but I’m a rock climber”
There’s lots of ways up, make it as hard or easy as you want. I opted for the ‘fun’ way because it was within my abilities. I would have gone a different way with different people to suit there abilities.
@@Point5TV I understand that mate, maybe I misinterpreted “best” as “easiest” so I guess I’m wrong here but hay ho can’t win them all
Skills n bravery in abundance
Hi there could I ask what sort of price you would charge on that
I have no idea in all honesty, a few hundred maybe. I just worked as a sub contractor so don’t get involved in the pricing and money side of things. Sorry couldn’t be more help
