48hrs Exploring the Cambrian Mountains and The Elan Valley - Part Two
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 сер 2024
- This is Part Two of my trip to the Cambrian Mountains. After climbing Drygarn Fawr and spending the night in a Bronze Age Cairn on my first night night in the Cambrians, I then headed to the Elan Valley for a day of hiking and exploring. An afternoon of thunder caused me to cancel my original plan of camping at Garreg-ddu Reservoir, and I ended up camping at Caban-coch instead - it worked out for the better though as I spent the night in a beautiful location that I stumbled upon.
Thanks for stopping by,
Ryan.

Been looking forward to this for days and boy it did not disappoint.Toby is obviously the star but Ryan you make a very good wingman 😊 Would be very interested in your route for the whole of the trip - do you os map it? As ever great filming and as others have mentioned your give a very calming/relaxing vibe to your trips... I am under no wonder why your subs are moving up the ladder quickly . As for more adventures up that way I look forward to the locations you will explore - namely because I want to explore the area I think you are going to end up... atb Al
Thanks once again for the positive feedback, Alan. I think I have the route on my OS maps app - if so, I'll send it to you by DM, you're more than welcome. I've been up to Plynlimon since this video and it was another great couple of days up there. ATB, Ryan.
You mean the Wye source Alan and Pumlumon? Yeah, it's good up there. I'm happy youtube is still of interest to you and you're now getting more involved from the hard time you've had. Take care. Peace.
Toby getting himself over the cattle grid was impressive,
He's had them mastered since he was a pup. Thanks for watching, Tony.
#outstanding🏆 15 minutes of bliss. Thanks Ryan👌😎
Thanks, Marty...glad you enjoyed watching! ATB, Ryan.
Poor Toby! Nice to see he enjoyed your adventure after the Thunderstorm.
Yes, between the bangs and the thunder, it wasn't good for him. Other than that though, he was good and enjoyed it. Thanks for watching, Derek. ATB, Ryan.
Fantastic video of beautiful scenery!
Thank you, John. I'm glad you enjoyed watching. ATB, Ryan.
Such glorious scenery for part 2 of this adventure! What a wonderful hike for you and Toby, so lovely that your kindness in caring for Toby led you to that stunning last spot. Beautiful photography, sound track and vibe. Thanks for taking us along!
Hello, Amanda, it's a beautiful area so I knew I'd find somewhere nice and that spot was it. Thanks for watching and I'm glad you enjoyed the video. ATB, Ryan.
Good ol’ Toby. Beautiful spot for night#2
Thank you, Gabriel. Yes, it was a lovely place to camp. Thanks for watching, Ryan.
Superb scenery. Thanks for posting
You're welcome and thank you. ATB, Ryan.
Mate that spot by the reservoir is a dream location, what a find.
And how well behaved is Toby so relaxed and listens to everything you tell him. But that camp spot is stunning.
Thanks, Martin! Yes, I was lucky to find that spot, it was idyllic there and a nice place to camp. Thank you for watching. ATB, Ryan.
Your love for Toby is incredible ❤️ it's lovely to watch 🥰 those cows 😱😱😱 there's no way my dog would have run away like Toby did,so well done Toby 👍 👏 brilliant video,really enjoyed that
Thanks, Charlene, glad you enjoyed! 🙂 He's been chased the length of a field before now, so he's pretty hot on his paws when we encounter cows. Thanks for watching. ATB, Ryan.
Cracking part 2 Ryan mate what an adventure you and Toby been on and the views are amazing! We truly are blessed to live in Wales 🏴. ATB Ryan and Toby
Thank you, mate. Yes, we really are, Carl 🏴 ATB, Ryan.
Another good day in the Elan. Those bangs could well have come from the Epynt ranges. Thanks for sharing Martin
Thanks, Martin. I just looked on the map and I hadn't realised Epynt Ranges were that close to my location. That's a likely explanation then, as I kept thinking it sounded like artillery. ATB, Ryan.
What a great campsite you ended up with! Just beautiful! So sorry Toby has the fear of the thunder. I know many dogs do and we feel so helpless that we can’t comfort them. Really enjoyed your video! Thanks!
Hello Chris, it was a beautiful spot and Toby got to enjoy it once the thunder stopped. I'm glad you enjoyed and thanks for watching. ATB, Ryan.
This trip looked stunning. Was a bit scary going through the cattle, Toby had it covered. Such a beautiful country you are blessed with. Serk
Thank you, Serk! Toby always has it covered, he's a top dog. Thank for watching. ATB, Ryan.
Wonderful work mate. Very inspiring. 👊
Thanks very much, mate. I'm glad you enjoyed 👍🏼
Loved the timelapse Ry, keep it up.
Thanks, Andrew...glad you enjoyed, mate.
Cracking video again pal. Thank you
Cheers, mate. Thanks for watching!
Wow beautiful scenery 🩵 Hope you 2 are well ... 💙
We are both good thank you, Carla. Thanks for watching. ATB, Ryan.
Thankyou so much Ryan absolutely love everything about your videos and the calming nature you give off 👍👍
Thanks for the positive feedback, Ian, it's good to hear you're enjoying the channel. ATB, Ryan.
I’ve watched both parts Ryan, cracking videos, well done ATB Dave.
Nice one, Dave...much appreciated! ATB, Ryan.
Fantastic scenery, Ryan. Very well captured too! You're making Wales look very inviting to the uninitiated ! If the word gets out, you're be in trouble mate! 😅
Thank you, Jack. I think the secret is already out, that's why I'm avoiding the crowds in The Cambrians 😉 ATB, Ryan.
Thanks
Very kind of you, mate. Thank you very much!
Didn’t have your whiskey and cake mate 😆-Toby looks well . Another good vid 👍
Thanks, Alan. Nope, I'll have to take a bigger hip flask next time. Thanks for watching. ATB, Ryan.
Amazing video, footage, and music really went together. I haven't been to the elan Valley stunning location
Thank you, mate! Much appreciated. It's an incredible place, mate, one of the most beautiful parts of Wales. Thanks for watching. ATB, Ryan.
Great video mate,im a great fan of the cambrian mountains,such an unspoilt place and i always make a b line for them when im in need of solitude,where you are talking of exploring next is my go to place,plynlymon is a gret place to explore with enough bronze age cairns to keep you and toby happy,👍
Thank you, mate, glad you enjoyed. It really is a great place to explore, I love how vast and peaceful it is up there. I've been back up since this video and camped on Plynlimon, I can see why you love it there. Thanks for watching, Ryan.
Its a great place and im so glad you have been and camp'd there,so wild and untamed and so much history to indulge in,keep up the good work mate?your a real inspiration👍
@@bedrock19681 It's a special place indeed. Thanks for the kind words, mate 👍🏼
love your videos man !!!!!
Thanks, Jason...glad you're enjoying and thanks for watching!
Two good nights out in nature!
They sure were. It was a great little adventure.
Rye ..you put the fun in funderstorms! 😂
Love the channel butt! Keep it up.
Thank you, Paul...it's great to hear you're enjoying the channel, mate. Diolch!
@wildaboutwales dim problem, we're always out and about in the valleys and mid wales camping might bump into you one day haha!
Toby is a legend too, he was fuming when you put his red coat on though.😂
@@pauldavies9360 if we do, be sure to say come and say hello.
I know, he didn't look too happy there, did he, ha ha.
Great video as always, the pop up arrived and had to stop work to watch! My dogs always very wary of cows as well, I always try and avoid or even walk back, but if we have to walk thru then the dogs will always outrun the cows so best advice there. Bet the water was chilly 😂 but always good to be in a beautiful location and not surrounded by hordes of people!
Thank you, Chris. I'm not too bothered about cows, but we've been charged a few times in the past so I always tread cautiously around them. The water was a little cold, but a nice treat after a day in the sun. Thanks for watching, ATB, Ryan.
A really good outing Ryan-I could see where you were the moment you entered the village. The Wye Valley. Nice one. No water in the village but if you look close at your footage you'll see a 4,000 year old standing stone in that church. Well, a fantastic pitch and dip in the res. Nothing better than immersing oneself so closely with the tumbling waters in the stream there. I agree Pumlumon is great as is the Wye. I've hiked every single river of the Wye system from source - 700 miles. For sure the region is cracking. Well good going-great to see the area again. Mark
Thank you, Mark. I knew you were passionate about the rivers in this area and you'd walked a lot of them, but I didn't realise you've covered that much distance - that's pretty impressive! It's a beautiful area and a great place to explore. I'll take a look at the standing stone on one of my next visits, thanks for the heads up. ATB, Ryan.
@@wildaboutwales A pleasure Ryan - yeah we are waterlings mate-70% of it at least. It's why we gravitate to water and our rivers are important. That's right 20 rivers and 700 glorious miles - you know what I mean. For sure the stone is right out the door of the church - it's really far out. Peace
Love the intro music Ryan 👌 . Ahh the Red Kites 😉, super scenery ,brings back happy memorises . The cows are a single suckler herd , I should know I was a herdsman for a long long time !!!! , yeah sadly they always go for the dogs . Fair play you keep yourself fit Ryan . Nice meal for Toby 😋. I think you might like to take a look at Lost Lakes ( Jon and Erin ) let me know 🤔. Thankyou Ryan ATB Phil
Thank you, Phil, I'm glad you enjoyed. That's interesting to know what breed they are, I had no idea - I'll know now, to be a little cautious around them on our next encounter. I just found Lost Lakes on YT. I will take a look. Diolch yn Fawr, Ryan.
@@wildaboutwales Nice one Ryan 👍
Elan Valley is my favourite place in the world , we try to visit 3-4 times a year I love the changing colours absolutely beautiful place (Autumn is my favourite )thanks Ryan
I couldn't agree more, Sharon, it's a beautiful part of Wales. Thank you for watching 🙂
Sennybridge SENTA army camp in Brecon but the infantry Battle School is in Brecon not far from the Zulu Museum. Great area. Got a big job In Abergavenny soon. Love the area. Great vid again!
Thank you, Phil. Yes, I didn't realise at the time that Sennybridge isn't t that far away on the map. I like Abergavenny, that's a good place to work. Good luck with the job. ATB, Ryan.
I think some electrolytes might be handy,aye a tube of high5, so if you don’t have a lot of water, you could pop in an electrolyte tab and be really hydrated. 😊
Thanks, Lee. That's a handy idea for future walks. There's usually plenty of water in Wales, but not in those mountains. ATB, Ryan.
Lovely bit of scenery up Elan Valley, mate. I've driven through there a handful of times and never fails to impress. Poor Toby being intimidated by the cows, 😂, god love him! My dogs would've run amok amongst them! Terriers! Fair do's for camping out in that Bronze age cairn, tried something similar in the Preselis and tapped out because it was haunted!! Trying to get a few mates to do a kayak camp around Pembrokeshire this summer and if you're anyway inclined you would be more than welcome to join us. It's looking pretty good at the moment with planning, looking at late August when everyone is back from holiday. Always enjoy your content, mate, take care and i'll see you on the next one👍👍
Thanks, mate, it's much appreciated. Yes, it's a beautiful landscape up there, we had a great few days. The cairn was a great camp. Thanks for the kind offer; remind me again a little closer to the date, if I'm around I'll let you know. Many thanks, Ryan.
@@wildaboutwales I'll be sure to, mate. Meet up with a few whiskey heads from west Wales, should be a bit of craic!
Great part 2 , that was a monster walk! Very brave being low on the water too. That cow field looked terrifying lol 😂, I avoid cow herds like the plague! Beautiful views and lovely camp lake views. I’m hoping to get up there myself soon. Best wishes
Thank you, Adam. It's a beautiful place, and there's so much to explore up there. Thanks for watching. ATB, Ryan.
@@wildaboutwales thanks , got a trip booked there for next week with the family. Looking forward to exploring the hills. Have a good week
@@adamradford2285 thanks, Adam. You too, have a good one.
I was debating going out with my girl 🐶tonight and I think you’ve tipped me over the edge, great videos 👌
Thanks Roger, I'm glad you enjoyed. If you do get out, have yourself a good one. ATB, Ryan.
Toby first always Ryan 👍
Always 🐶 🙂
We don't get much banging in 'dod, if we do we usually blame the firing range down Brecon way.
Yes, somebody mentioned Sennybridge. At the time I didn't realise it was so close on a map. I thought it sounded like artillery too.
@@wildaboutwales you'll have to pop in for a cuppa next time you're up this way.
@@AintBigAintClever yes, a catch up is long overdue. I'm planning on doing a lot more of the Cambrians, so I'll give you a heads up on my next trip.
Elan valley looks fantastic, yet to visit but hoping to soon. I would of diverted around them cows, braver man than me 😂. Another great video, keep it up Ry 👌
It's incredible up there, mate, you should definitely head up there! Thanks for watching, Glenn. 👍🏼
The Cumbria mountain Ryan is were they train the fighter jets, just be careful, i did a lot of fishing up that way 🍀👍
It's a truly beautiful mountain range, I can't wait to get back up there with Toby 🙂
Abergavenny firing range. 155 mm shells
Thank you, Roland.
