  • Was great to be back in Wales again with Scott ‪@itsmescottp‬ and Craig ‪@Wildcamping101‬
    A night on the Rhinogs area after summiting Rhinog Fach in my MLD Duomid tent. An 8.5 mile (13.6km) hike with 2000ft (609m) of ascent.
    Many thanks for watching - Dave

    Cracking video! I camped on the little grass section down at llyn hywel a couple months ago and you’re right about the remoteness, definitely feel like you’re the only one for miles in the Rhinogs. Enjoyed seeing higher up, hope to get up there when I return to the area next year

    Lovely video again Dave, thank you. It is always a breath of fresh air to join you on your mountain ventures. How wonderfully ironic to see you the SOLO summiteer, wild camping ONE on ONE, and LONE explorer, bunched together as a bantering gang on the hills in Wales. What a gallant effort of you to describe your route with all those Welsh hilltop names around you. In the Lake District you can rattle off the whole panorama mentioning every peak that you can see, but it’s quite funny when you have to refer to ‘I’ll put the name of this hill on screen’. All the best to you, keep safe, and I look forward to your next trip.

    I love snowdonia, we went up sinister Gully on to bristly ridge, an amazing scramble route up with some incredible exposure. I've not done much in that area but I have done tryfan, pen yr ole wen, glyder fach and glyder fawr. Incredible place the ogwen valley. Nice to see a different area to the lakes from time to time :)

Watch the weather for the week before you go; it’s all about the weather. Check your kit before you go. Prepare for the worst. Hope for the best. Enjoy it. Good luck 💪⛰⛺️👍
