    Dan’s top tip is to rip second part of the packaging on the ready meal, then Dan proceeds to forget AGAIN to take his own advice 🤭Another nice adventure Dan and Warren with another wonderful sunrise 🍄

    Great video Dan, and me mate, Reindeer all the way with out a shadow of a doubt. The views looked amazing up there. I'm head up to Cadair Idris in a week or so. I hope the weather is as good as you had. I can do cold, but cold and wet is never a good combo bud.
    After the fog left, I bet that sky was superb.
    Top respects to Mr Linley, and excellent video, very entertaining and as always well produced. Regards

    Dan👍👍 Huffing and puffing up the hill was good for you, the view at the top was well worth the effort eh.. You and Warren pitched camp at a precarious place, surprised you found ground to stake the tents down. Yeah I bet it was cold there, top of the hill and no wind break. No sitting around the fire enjoying some adult beverages this time. Real Turmat, good stuff I hear but they don't import to the US...bummer. Warren always with that mile wide smile tells the tale, another fine adventure. Great video, well filmed, thanks. See ya next time. Enjoy!

    I only had time to watch the first 13 minutes so far but that was glorious Dan! Beautiful light you captured from the top there.
    My grandmother's house had a view of the Sugarloaf, so it's a mountain I have a huge affection for, although I haven't been to the top since I was a teenager. I must spend more time in that neck of the woods!

    • @CampLifeBushcraft
      @CampLifeBushcraft  Рік тому

      We got so lucky, either side of these nights we had was rain, and I had been expecting wet weather if I'm honest. such a lovely surprise to have clear, sunny skies.
      I'd watch a Tweedy in the mountains episode!

    • @CampLifeBushcraft
      @CampLifeBushcraft  Рік тому

      I think there is a sugarloaf in Australia too. popular name : )
      yes it can snow in these mountains, and often does, I was kind of hoping for some on this trip but no joy there.
      I think its more likely in December/January.

      @CampLifeBushcraft  Рік тому +1

      it was glorious mate.
      I wouldn't want to Bivi at this time of year. the biting wind is what makes it cold.. sheltering in the tent is the place to be.. no chance of that with a bivi!
      speed lacing is for losers!

    • @CampLifeBushcraft
      @CampLifeBushcraft  Рік тому +1

      Thanks, glad you enjoyed it.
      Yes, it can be done. Just about room for 2 tents, but ample for 1. You just need to wiggle it about a bit to avoid the lumps. Pegs went in the ground fine though.
      Spectacular place to wake up! I highly recommend it.

    Am literally packing my bag watching vids, heading out for a late night camp….Sugarloaf is one of my ‘locals’ so am considering heading there when this popped up!! You should try the edge of the Blorange. It’s virtually opposite you, on top of Abergavenny as you head over to Blaenavon. Are you still in this neck of the woods tonight?
    It’s so heavily eroded up there compared to only a few years ago. Always take new tents up there as always windy….
    Have a look at the difference erosion wise compared to only a few years ago….
