    The Henry Turner of camping. You were at Mynydd Du CP before you got to the proper car park. not sure why you carried on the no entrance gate? Its a nice gentle stroll up to the Bothy from the CP. The spot at 22mins is where people who don't want to put up in the bothy normally camp... its a great little location. I have never camped in it (my lad has) I just normally stop ff in bad weather for a brew. You were in the Grwyne Fawr valley, the next one over id the Grwyne Fechan - the most beautiful of the Black Mountain area - I did a little wild camp there with a mate last year. If you have not done the Bothy on Camasunary on Skye I heartily recmmend it - there is a new one up there these days but I stayed in the old one on the beach in 2009. Btw, nice to see the res has filled back up.. it was near empty before winter - Dwr Cymru have decomissioned it - it used to feed Abertillery back in the day - nice placard on the dam wall for info - but they have their own source these days. Great job on the paint. atb Alan

    I have one tip, if you need smaller kitchen utensils for you tiny camper, in IKEA they have the DUKTIG toy kitchen series, they have the utensils that consists of small: laddle, pasta laddle, frying pan spatula, tongs and spiral wisk, i use the small pastaladdle and the spiral wisk all yhe time. The also has a small cooking pot set in the same series, with a small cooking pot with strainer, small wok pan snd a small flat bottomed frying pan. They are even compatible with the IKEA hobo stove mafe from the ORDNA cutlery basket. So even if it sold as toys or a play kitchen, it is pretty legit and fully functional.

    I couldn't find any information about from where you were initially born/ raised. Care to share? I was born in the United states, but my mother is from Notts and I spent most of my youth up until teenage years in England. Now I'm back in the States, March '24 and 75° fahrenheit Gulf Coast!
    You'd love it!!

    I feel like it's probably better to have one of those small camping tables that fold for cooking outside, they fold up small enough to put under the bed storage. It feels high risk of accidentally knocking the pan with the limited space
    The smell of the oil will get into the liner and seats too and potentially stain the liner 😩
    Maybe fine on the occasion if its raining outside

    Great video. That bothy is great. I stay in it in this video - ua-cam.com/video/he0d5NYuL74/v-deo.html
    It was my first bothy camp too. I didn't realise it was the UK's smallest, but it didn't cross my mind as I just figured all bothy's were small.
    I shared it with an Amercian dude who was there when I arrived. Neither of us had any coal or wood, and with it being cold and wet, we couldn't find anything suitable to start a fire. Lesson learned; bring coal and wood!
