I was just thinking while you were running. "I'd have fallen for sure... " Then you said you almost did. 🤣 Good work maintaining velocity and balance!! Looks like a great place to mountain bike too.
great video loved it love the welsh mountains. i tore my hip flexor last year so i sympathise i drove me mad as i couldn't lift my right leg so flat walks only till it healed 😊
Cheers for the update on the toilet and bath situation, keeping it real ✊🏼 Top tip use supermarkets like motorway services, the bigger ones have toilets and you don't have to buy anything. Loved the vid, great hike. Now summer has hit I've started incorporating a dip in a lake or plunge pool at a waterfall in my hikes, it's the best. I run down when I can but a lot of hikes I do the paths are steeeeep and rocky so no can do with a heavy backpack. Shame you met Pete the Bogman on your run down but happens to all of us, it bloody hides well under the grass. Keep it up, looking forward to more hot summer weather hikes in the awesome places you go 👌🏻
Hi Em hope your been well apologies for lack of contact with you 😢 went off the social network when my whippet passed away just a week after camp quirky 😢 Been a very lost. Amazing vlog I really need to explore more of the brecon beacons. It’s a beautiful place and hopefully do a van meet up with you this year. Your amazing and sending you loads of hugs. I never knew about the plain wreckage there ❤❤
Thanks for another really interesting video. I really enjoy your videos because they are honest and your friendly character and positive attitude shine through. There is a Canadian full-time van lifer called Forresty Forrest who you remind me of. He films his hikes in the Canadian mountains and while they may be more spectacular videos than yours scenery wise yours are more relatable because I live in Scotland. Forresty Forrest has a friendly character and like you tries to remain positive about things even though living in a van must be extremely difficult. That was a single-person military plane and the poor pilot died in the crash. He was only a young boy aged 21 and his name was John Raymond Baldock. It seems very inhumane to me to just leave the wreckage there like that. They mention a visitor to the site at an unknown date arranged the wreckage as a tribute to John. A more fitting tribute would have been for the RAF to remove the wreckage and debris and to build a permanent monument to John in the place where the tragedy took place. To just leave the wreckage doesn't seem right or respectable to me. I can understand folk being interested and wanting to visit the wreckage though. I worked in Nigeria for a couple of years in 2005/6 and in the massive and very busy river that runs straight through the city of Lagos there are huge shipwrecks just lying there half submerged where they had sunk. They had been there for decades and had just been left there. I don't know why but I found them fascinating and couldn't stop staring at them as we passed by. R.I.P. John Raymond Baldock. 04-01-1932 ~ 09-10-1953. May God Bless The Dead....
Hi Gary, thank you for sharing some more history of the incident with us. I think wreckage is fascinating because it allows the story/ history to become more tangible. Thank you for watching
@@outdoorsemily I agree with you Emily wreckage is fascinating. I wasn't being critical of you I just feel the RAF should have perhaps done something to honour the place where a young man died that's all. Hope you are enjoying the sunshine and it's not too hot in your van. Take care now...
I'm all for commemorating airmen who perished on duty but a simple carved stone would be a better bet than a ton of mangled metal fouling a precious landscape.Were i a downed avaitor who failed to 'hit the silk' i would hate to think that my wreckage being a permanent fixture on the Beacons.I find the lack of retrieval bizarre and a tad morbid somehow. Nice video nonetheless.
I don't know why exactly, but I find it quite fitting that it's been left there. It's a stark reminder of our vulnerability, made more poignant with the contrast of machinery and open landscape.
@@bluecheese1066 Yes, sort of a Tracey Eminn 'art' installation arrangement, 'unmade bed' defiling natural beauty ?...chastening.I'm not seeing/hearing Wordsworthian type sonnets here, merely dereliction of duty by the air force who could easily drop a shipping container at the site via Chinook helicopter, scoop in their junk and possibly drop it off at the nearest scrap dealer.Seems better than leaving it for another half century ? We had a family friend years ago in the RAF and he flew this particular Vampire jet alongside the Meteor as the 'Vintage-Pair' at many airshows and sadly his friend in the Meteor crashed and died pulling a stalled manoeuvre (no ejection seat fitted).There's youtube footage apparently but i couldn't bear to watch having met him a few times.
No1's, pop bottle all day long. Tricky like, but sod that, paying through ya nose for a cup of "sugar ". PS Where ever ya come across Marram grass, no matter how hot the summer, ya'll get wet feet. More importantly, the deep troughs are ankle breaking tackle, esp when ya'v got a "camera stick". I sprained mine in the 70's, it's never been reet, since. PPS. There's wreckage of a Canadian Lancaster Bomber near me ( above Ilkley moor). To this day ya get relatives of all the crew who perished, in 1944, i think, looking for bits of plane. When i was up there yonks a go, there was a "party" of relatives searching the scrub. I indeed found a lump of aluminium with a CAF stamp on it, which i was happy to give them. They'd flown from the RAF air force base at nearby Menwith Hill in thick fog. The relatives have built a little stone memorial up there.. Came away thinking, man, ( i was born in 57) how lucky was i !!
Enjoyable video ... Thanks.

Looked like a really nice day for a hike, and of course, beautiful surroundings in the Brecon Beacons! Thanks for sharing.
Haha it was eventually! Thank you for watching

Hey J W
Supermarkets are also a great tip!
Yessss wild swimming after a hike is just the best in the summertime 💛
Thanks you for watching!
Love ya energy
Thanks ☺️
Awesome hike dude! Never new there was a plane crash there. I’ve put that on the list of hikes for this year! Great video. Keep seeking! 🙌🏼🚐👊🏼
Thanks!
Yeah it was so great!
Enjoy the hike - let me know if you do it ☺️
I did some of my army training on the Brecons very tough but fun xx
Awesome spot for it! So beautiful 🤗
Services have toilets and showers that are mostly free or truck stops have them too for a couple of quid for the showers just a thought xx
That’s interesting. Never stop exploring. There’s another 1944 plane crash on top of Great Carrs near Coniston., if you ever get up there.
Oooh okay, will check it out if I am around that way! Thank you for the recommendation 😃
Im pretty sure some running shoe manufacturers now make trainers with gortex in them
Yes I think they do!
Need to get a pair haha

i also use tim hortons for their wifi
Pity all that metal can't be shifted somehow?
It's become like a part of the hill's history, similar to the left overs of the mining and quarrying industry in the hills.
I dig it, pun intended.
Hello. Is English better for work or germany?

Haha you are so right, I have a ‘pee pot’ in the van which is a saviour!
Thank you for sharing your story & watching my video ☺️
Any coordinates for that on Ilkley Moor pls.?
Forgot about instant info on internet..!! 😊 Got them, High Crag, there’s another at Windgate Nick.
Are the English people more friendly or the German people?
Hi!
I am not sure which country is better for work, or in which the people are more friendly
Sorry I can’t help you more
