Two Wild Nights In Eryri

  • We head to Eryri (otherwise known as Snowdonia) in this one for two nights of camping and mountain peak bagging.
    On day one we climbed Aran Fawddwy. We stashed the rucksacks in the trees and made for the summit. Being treated to some epic views up at the trig, we turned round to head back and make camp just beating the encroaching clouds. The sunset that night was just amazing.
    Day two we headed an hour north to the Carneddau to meet Cat from One Girl And Her Dog and camp at the top of Foel Grach. We bagged a few big peaks along the way and after getting past 700 metres we hit the snow line. The night stayed at around -3C the whole time and caused some amazing looking frost formations. Surprisingly we all slept really well in our frozen tents. In the morning we descended with the snow falling all around and finished off with a well deserved cooked breakfast in Moel Siabod cafe.

    Great couple of nights camping. Wish I’d known you were up on Aran Fawddwy in Eryri. My backyard 😊. Loving the ice patterns on your Carneddau camp. Great to see Cat out again with you, can’t blame her for getting cozy in her tent. Looked pretty Baltic 🥶🥶. Hard core wild campers 👍😀 love to Drufus. Glad to see him out after losing Tyson ☺️♥️ keep up the great vids. Diolch

    Just seen this pop up on my notifications, so I thought I'd crack open a beer to watch it with 🍺 😊.
    Doesn't matter where anybody is in Wales, there's always jets doing a flying by, good terrain for training though I assume. Makes for some good video footage too 👌.
    Never seen that Guinness sauce before, I bet that tastes good.
    Looked more like an everest basecamp than a pitch up in Wales, wow it did look more than crisp 🥶 🧊.
    The morning looked even worse 😫 I bet the tents weighed twice as much walking back.
    Great video, see you on your next adventure ✌️ 🤟 🤙
