    Thirty years ago we camped at midsummer a few times next to the stream that runs down the side of Waun Fach and into the reservoir. There's a flat spot that has enough space for three tents and a place to cook. Midsummer morning we were up at 4 am and hiking up the hill in time for sunrise, the morning was calm and cloud free and we were up above the mist in the valley over the other side of the hill which reflected the golden sunlight as columns of mist were ejected, the whole thing moved around like a cauldron boiling in very slow motion, mother nature had laid on a glorious show for us.
    As for the dude on acid, there is no better place to do it but don't take that as encouragement, it's not without risk and the reservoir isn't a portal to valhalla.
    Many thanks for the video, it brought back a lot of fond memories.

      Hi Steve, I love your account of your memory, thank you, it made me smile. I was worried for the guy who took the acid as there are many places to fall. He he he, the book stated he was OK in the morning though.
      I wish I had visited there 30 years ago. Thanks for your message.

    Beautiful video, isn't it incredible to think that in the past, the hills and nearly all land in Britain was covered with lush and beautiful forest? I hope we return to that...

      Thank you for your nice comment. Yes I agree with you more forest's please but the new high speed train line is not helping.

      Nice one Jamie, yes this was the bothy in your video. Such a cool place. The water filter is great and filters out everything bad unlike the sawyer but the sawyer is much lighter.

    Looks like a lovely trip. Anywhere I can get a map of your route?

      Hi Rob, we used a landranger map of the black mountains. We show it at 35 seconds in. I have tried to copy and paste the route from google maps into this chat but it won't let me do it. If I can work out how to take a photo of my map and paste it here I will do that. Sorry I'm not more help.
