  • Join Winston (my dog) and me as we tackle Pen y Fan, the highest peak in South Wales! We went in winter (February) 2024 and faced snow, ice, and high wind as we battled our way to the top.
    NOTE: This video clip is taken from our "25 day winter tour around the Brecon Beacons" playlist. You can watch the whole playlist here - • 25 Days in the Brecon ...

    What a lovely girl & such a professional presentation. Not too much chat & like us, dislikes people en masse. Wonderful photography which is a treat for someone who is unable to walk far and never visit such places. Thank you Roz. You’re a star and gorgeous Winston is amazing

    I was getting a bit worried for Winston being that close to the edge of the mountain. I’ve never seen a dog with such a wagging tail. He is obviously a very happy little boy.

    • @Roz.S

      I don’t think he knows how to control his tail 😅 It’s got a life of its own 🐶

    What a glorious day, I bet you wished you’d packed a picnic for the summit, eh Roz?😁😁

      Oh yes! As soon as I had laid the picnic blanket out 😅

    I had deja -vu for a minute there Roz! Still glorious views but was a bit nervous at how close Winston got to the edge in the wind!
    Safe Travels.See you on the next.

      Just re-released on its own because this hike was tied up in a vlog with other stuff going on. The camera angle makes it look like Winston was walking on the edge of a cliff, but it wasn’t as bad as it looks 😊 Thanks for watching

      It’s been 4 months and I’ve still not got over the fact I paid £7.50 for less than half a day parking 😅

    Lol, you’re reaction to the £7.50 parking fee. I bet you were thinking: “Imagine how many reduced to clear items in the Co-op I could get for that.”🤣

    • @Roz.S
      @Roz.S  2 місяці тому +1

      I could feed myself for a least a few days on that £7.50 😅 I’m still not over it

    When i started driving we would tender a pound note for four gallons of petrol and wait for the change 😢 now it costs me a pound just to drive down the drive ! 😊

      I remember being a kid and my dad complaining that it will soon be £1 per litre. I wish it was £1 per litre now!! 😂😂

    Good to relive that section apart from the £7.50 car park, still the views were priceless.

    I feel car parks tend to not only over price, but set there times to a point where you have to pay for the longer time as it may take 10 or 15 mins longer to do the walk than the shorter pay point. Greedy meanies!

    • @Roz.S
      @Roz.S  2 місяці тому +2

      Yes!! I’ve had that on two occasions recently. Pay for 2 hours or the full day. The full day was too much but it was tight at 2 hours.

    @timwright5466 2 місяці тому +1

    It's a wonder you didn't bump in to Liam brown a you tuber like yourself he's epic at walking long distance..but he doesn't have a waggy dog 😂

    • @Roz.S
      @Roz.S  2 місяці тому

      We’re not long distance anymore 😞 since Winston is now 12, our walks are about 4 miles. Gone are the days where it was sunrise to sunset.

    Beautiful video sorry about parking price but here in New York I have paid $30 for parking for a couple hours, it’s sick

    • @Roz.S
      @Roz.S  2 місяці тому

      Glad you like the video. That cost is about the same if you try to park in London for a few hours, but I was parked in a rural area of south Wales, so it was completely unexpected 🙈🙈 Thanks for watching 👍🏼👊🏼
