    The part where you decide to leave the confines of your nice dry comfortable car to climb that mountain in horrendous conditions is incredible to say the least. Given the same situation I can see myself stopping somewhere for a hot chocolate while driving back home.

    Moel siabod is just above the Anabasis mountain club hut at Garth farm. I was hut warden for 15yrs and Kings college Cambridge rented it for 15 students every November but after 60yrs the landlord Jones family have taken the hut back. Garth farm will live in the memories of me and my children and grandchildren, Moel siabod fell race and carnival still attracts a large amount of people. please support the carnival in July especially after the covid pandemic.

    You might enjoy ( particularly for car camping) the clip-on Optimus stove windscreen for your stove. It isn’t the lightest, but it guards the flame and doesn’t enclose the canister, which could be bad 💥. That looked to be some epic weather! Thank you for sharing!

    • @WildBeare
      @WildBeare  2 роки тому +2

      Hi Gary, thanks for the pronunciation, I did look up how to pronounce it but I couldn't find it anywhere. I don't know anyone from Wales to ask and I also can't ask on the internet, as for my safety I need to not publicly announce where I'm going to be going on my trips. So often I have to just do my best, as all people do with different languages I guess?
