- Back in the Black mountains Wild camping again this week with @Linleys
This time we set our sights on a camp on the mountain peak, at the highest point.
and yes, I nearly fell off the mountain!
A beautiful day in the Brecon Beacons turned into a rough night, with wind and rain hammering the tents as well as the bitterly cold wind.
I really enjoyed this one!

Warren, lobbing his custard all over the place 😂

and splashing his sauce into my pouch ; )
@@CampLifeBushcraft 🤣🤣🤣
Reinhold’s slightly less adventurous nephew - who knew? Interesting to see the former seabed raised up above the llyn there, all part of time…
Brokeblack Mountain.
😂😂😂
@@CampLifeBushcraft had to sit on that for 5 days. Great video. Peace.
Thanks 👍 😊
Scottish Mountain Gear would repair your Akto.. They provide a good service.
its on my to do list. be a shame to get rid of it.
You lost a pole or something when you were packing up!! Flicked of in the wind I do hope you noticed as you may need it next time you set up?👍🏻
Thanks, yes I picked it up 👍👍
I was just going to say the same thing. Glad you got it. Brilliant video. Take care
@@pilgrim3387 thanks 😊
Really nice video keep up!i have 2 questions for the tent.Have u experienced any contensation due to luck of ventilation and if u open the lower vents is the rain gonna splash the inner?thank u.
@greekf I've not had the vents open much to he honest, I tend to forget they're there. I've not had any condensation issues though. I think the mesh inner helps with keeping it away.
Warren & you both looked like Ace Venturer when he was "popping out" of the back of the Rhino 😂😂😂 Great vid, enjoyed.
I'd forgotten that scene, it did look like that!
thanks mate xx
Dan taking his usual weather with him again. Custard and rum sounds like Christmas time.. what a pair. Great adventure guys. Bushyboy Oz
it was bl00dy awesome mate, really enjoyed the day and the night.
What a yummy pudding to warm you,the rum too.
Im ccccold,but you must be freezing.
Thankyou both
it was pretty chilly! great fun though.
No one mocks Warren's custard, it must be bloody delicious and warming when it is cold & windy. He is experienced and knows what is required to keep you going. Well done. Great video.
Absolutely, a knowledgable guy for sure.
Thanks mate : )
I remember YHA shops in the 70s where ambrosia cans and alpen sachets were the standard fare, Warren's learned behaviour I reckon.
@@strawberryfields1149 😂😂 I reckon you're on to something there.
'splash some of his source in my pouch' For a moment there I thought I was watching Torchwood again.
hahaha!
Hi mate great video 👍. Quick question, is the undated starlight 1.. Because it looks very similar to it. Thanks again.
Thanks mate.
No the starlight tents are very similar. But the chaser range are effectively the lightweight versions.
They're more expensive but way lighter. The one I have is 1.2kg
lovely landscape...looks tough with a big pack.
yes, hard going.. but well worth the effort. really enjoyed it.
34:42 - something flew out - please check before going out again in this tent!! Cracking vid. 👍
Thank you. I saw it at the time and picked it up.
Thanks for watching, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Dan 👍
1) You cant build this tent if you dont have solid ground like here. If you dont use pins, you are *ucked.
2) You cant make a good tension so if there is a wind, its *ucking noisy.
I wanted to burn it and jump off the cliff when building it on top of Piton Des Naiges.
If you like noise, stupid long setup and a chance, you will not be able to build it at all, this one is for you.

chubby checker!
Looked like a cracking time out Dan some fantastic weather for it 😂 you looked a bit star struck meeting Paul 😊 I like that tent atvb Jimmy 😎😎👍👍
it was just so weird.. having not seen anyone for hours it was just a bit bizarre!
Great vid mate did you park at Lyn fan fach car park
Thanks mate.
No, we parked near the church on the A4067 and walked in past Llyn Fan fawr .. had a night there, then moved on.
Great content as always ! I've sub'd to @Linleys .. does that guy ever stop smiling ?! Even in the inhospitable weather he is still bloody cheerful. Watching you guys makes me want to get out but I'm comfy here in my duvet :D
mental attitude is important on a long trek, and when the weather turns its even more so.. Warren seems to have the ability to be positive in all conditions. makes the trip really fun. I think it's appreciating where you are. (not at work) ; )
Great video. Shame the weather wasn't kind to you but I think the rum and custard helped out. Unbelievable that you met up with a couple of mates. Dan did you loose one of your tent poles when packing up? Enjoyed it thank you.👍
Thank you.
yes, one of the poles came out its sleeve.. I saw it and picked it up thankfully.
How did you manage to get a hole in your Akto?
I originally bought it 3rd hand. I believe it's 10 years old at least.
The material has frayed where the little hood meets the fly and it tore open on a windy camp during the summer. It's a tiny hole, but water can get in.
Beautiful views up there, away from the crowds…..apart from Paul🤗. 🇦🇺 A spot of colder weather would be nice over here😊⛺️🏔️. Had to get out my XL DD tarp the other day, the waterproof coating had gone all sticky & welded itself together😡. When I got it opened out there were spots & patches where there was no waterproofing 😑. I’ve never used bug spray near it either😑. I’ll get some silicone waterproofing spray and treat it but I’m not overly happy…….
Thanks Billy.
That's a different problem to face.. extreme heat melting the waterproofing!
Come on mate! You would'nt go to Scotland and call a Loch a tarn would you? 🤨 ITS A LLYN (Lake in english).
Thanks for the lesson.
I camped at the yarn last October and they were doing building works then.
Bloody left the generator on all night too!
Gutted! Bet that was a noisy night 😂
I guess it's all about the challenge that comes with camping on a cold, windy, wet mountain top. Honestly, I would have no interest in it but, I have enormous respect for you, and the many others that have the grit to do it. I need a good water supply and a campfire to even consider camping.
You guys gave terrific insights in camping in a hostile environment. Nicely done!
Thanks Chuck. 👍
I like a camp fire myself, but I've developed a love for the challenge of the mountains.
👍⛺️👍
: )
My mouth was watering watching you two eating that custard. 🍨 good Lord
it was a bit of a foodgasm!
@@CampLifeBushcraft it really distracted me. I forgot I was watching wild camping adventure. And the rum too? High living!
@Spikedpistachio a little luxury at the end of the day, does wonders 😁👍
Another epic trip video in the bag. Looking forward to your next posts
Thanks mate. Appreciate that.
Back in the forest next I think. 🙂👍
Did you retrieve you short pole that flew when you shook the tent
yes I did.. I missed it when it flew out, but saw it on the ground as we were about to head away.. thankfully!
Just discovered your channel. Great to watch!
Thanks Dano 👍
Great video, scenery, tents, food, welldone guys 👏👋
Thank you! 👍
Beautiful! ...and looked a bit challenging in places! Really enjoyed watching the sheer delight of the cake and custard. I've never bothered taking dessert along on a camp but I think Warren's slowly winning me over to the merits of that.
Was that late October? (Guessing from when you said sunset was.) The weather seemed very wintery in places! I've been trying to think where to go for my next camp, and would love to get back to the Brecon Beacons (haven't camped there since I was a teenager) but have to admit although the first half of your video really encouraged me, the second half gave me pause for thought! Maybe I should wait until spring now...
The pudding routine Warren has developed is such a welcome treat after a hard day and fighting the cold. it does wonders for the mental state.
It was the week before the clocks changed.. and it was cold in the wind, especially so once we'd lost the sun.
South Wales is lovely, but very changeable in terms of weather. even in the summer it can be miserable up high.
full wet gear and cold weather gear is a must, all year in my opinion.
During the winter though it can be very challenging. But it's so beautiful!
Thank you for sitting through it. And for the mention in your 1000k video. Nice of you : )
@@CampLifeBushcraft the Rum takes things to another level evidently 😉
@@strawberryfields1149 😂😂
Great video 👍 really enjoyed
Thanks Steve : )
Glad to see someone using and testing Robens. Very tempted to pull the trigger on a Voyager 2 or Chaser 3 to use as a basecamp tent given the weight.
That was it's first proper trip out and I was impressed. I now have faith that it will look after me in tough conditions. And at 1.2kg it is way lighter than my old Akto.
@@CampLifeBushcraft oh wow I thought they were a lot heavier.
@@citizenphaid1880 nope. Super light 👌👌
Great video Dan, I really enjoy your travels and your fellow hikers and the like. Take care mate
Very nice my friend 🤠
Thanks Herb 👍
Nice to meet you both. Cheers for the mention. Glad you enjoyed your trip to gods country. Shame you didn’t get lucky with the weather in the morning like we did 👍🏻
You too Darren, it was a weird coincidence bumping into you guys.
That custard pour 🤤
it was glorious!
Nice trip 🍄
Thanks mate. one of my favourites of recent times.
Great effort from both of you to walk with all your gear thanks for taking us with you, good for you to meet up with friends thanks Dan for sharing this amazing video it was interesting to watch your video looks awesome thanks Dan 😊 👍
Thanks Andrew, glad you enjoyed it.
Dan 👍
Cheers
Thanks Bud : )
Good effort from both of you, all that huffing and puffing well worth it, simply stunning mate, excellent video as always Mr Dan. Thanks for carrying us all along with you bud, big thumbs up.
Regards, slightly jealous

Glad you enjoyed it mate, one of my favourite trips of late.
That’s mental bumping into Paul haaaaahaaaaa
it was surreal mate. made me chuckle.
Thats some serious weather you hit there shame about no sunrise but what a cracking hike
Glad the tent held out its a quality bit of kit and thanks for the mentions !
It was great fun. I love being in a tent while the weather rages.
😁😁
Great video 🙂👍
Thank you : )
@@CampLifeBushcraft 👍
👍👍
: )
Great video as usual Dan, but at 34:42, approx, as you were shaking your tent out, did I see one of the end poles disappearing of into the bundu! Hope not.
yes, it was a pole.. it wasn't lost, I saw it thankfully and picked it up.
