@@MCMOutdoors I’m surprised the apprentice wasn’t badgering you to come. A chilled solo camp with peace and quiet lol My kids are comedy, if I say a mates bailed or I’m going on my own next thing one of em’s stood before me kitted out, bag packed 😂
Lovely footage, well done. A bit quieter on this the Carneddau side of Snowdonia. Nice spot under Pen y Ole Wen . I have camped here myself , but in slightly more wetter weather shall we say. Good for the soul.
Great video again sir, thanks as ever for the journey with you, as a lot say it really is warming to watch, either before a yomp yourself or just chilling with a nice red...all the very best
Nice video mate, not watched much youtube for a few months going have catch up with a couple of your recent ones, couldnt have got better conditions in this one!
Hi Chris, firstly congrats on a well put together vid, the drone footage and music editing was brilliant. The new tent looks awesome, love the colour. Could fancy that tiny repel thing, thanks for taking us along. Life does have its ups and downs, theres no doubt, look after ya sel mate 👍
What a fantastic video Chris. Very true on getting out & wanting to keep doing it look after yourself. I was out today this BH Monday and had the same conversation with my brother in law,One shot at it, enjoy it. We went up at one of you faves in Lancashire and I tracked down George Fox 💦.. Fantastic footage Chris and that drone footage is top notch and fits in well with the superb edit. Keep up the good work sir and that midge device is looking promising. Nice tent fella.. take care Chris . Atb Andy
@@MCMOutdoors Yes,that Tankard is brill. I even poured some in my hand and had a slurp, tasted very nice tbf. But not taking anything away from your Recent wild camp in Wales. Enjoyed it. Have a great week pal.
Nice video, lad! I was riding out there for a few days back in June, quite emotional watching this! Thankfully, I'm blessed to be returning to ride the Sarn Helen way next week. 400km and 10,000m of elevation, pure bliss mixed with the brutality many bikepackers have come to love! ✌️
Watching this made me realise that sometimes my worries and thoughts take me away from being present in life. I'm happiest when on an adventure and living in the moment and your videos remind me to seek the adventures! 😊
Hi Chris, Thanks for sahring your latest adventure in the Great Outdoors. Such a beautiful place Chris and a well earned break for you. Looking forward to the next one as I always do. Have a great week. ATB 😊👍
Thanks Chris, only got back from it at midday today so had to edit this one quickly! Glad you enjoyed it mate - was a brilliant trip and if I've managed to convey just one bit of the atmosphere of this place I'm happy ! ATB
Another great video!! Great spot for a wild camp. Keep up the great work. Sometimes life gets in the way of the stuff we really love but we all just push through!! Looking forward to the next one
Class mate, a stunning location that Chris. The drone footage was bang on pal. Loving the new tent and the new stove too man. That midge repellent device was very handy I bet. Would be good in my new awning as we had trouble this weekend. Beautifully filmed, loves the quote about Adventure too. Thanks mate, really enjoyed that.
Great video Chris. Not seen any of your vids before, I loved this one and look forward to watching more. You are so right, life beats down and we forget to look after ourselves; whether that be eating unhealthily, avoiding exercise or just avoiding life really. It feels easier to hide away when things are hard. Thank you for this lovely reminder to just start over, without beating yourself up, and get out there. Cheers Ash
A good alternative to the heavier Soulo for less challenging conditions! I have an older model of the Terra Nova and love it. I use it for hikes in the mountains in Summer time. Wouldnt trust it with snow loads or strong winds though. It's a very delicate fabric. But lightweight!
Agree..... I couldn't sit up fully in the old version I had, but there is more headroom in this version. A very nice tent. Still waiting for a proper strong wind test in it..... A bit fiddly to pitch.
Parking (if you're lucky) on the road near Llyn Ogwen - I don't name any areas as I don't want to cause extra pressure on any given spot - it's pretty easy to work out if you have a quick nose at a map. Thanks for watching pal
Brilliant Chris, love the tent. Really nice looking, i bought the northern lite 2 but not 100% on it at the moment. Completely get the getting out scenario, hence my you tube name. I only started all this at the age of 50 and 4 years in im 3 stone lighter and still have the struggles and endulge periods and then beat myself up about it. Getting out helps so much with everything, absolutely love your video's chris. Keep going and motivating others to do the same. Atb paul 👍
Thanks very much Paul; it's never too late to start getting out and up those hills - does the world of good. Glad you enjoy the videos on the channel and thanks very much for your support.
Amazing weather - you sure that was Wales....always raining every time I go🤔. Prefect pitch mind, stunning views and so quiet as well. To to see/hear it was litter free there but shame you did not get the sunset you were hoping for. Life is meant to be tough and to be honest (as I am always saying ) you have to go through the tough to fully appreciate the smooth. I am always trying to keep fit and eat well but at 68 you are just delaying the inevitable but like you, the longer you can keep on getting out into and enjoying the fells the better. Misty morning but hey, it is Wales lol, cheers Alan
Cheers Alan - if I am still able to get out and enjoy the fells at 68, I'm doing something right like you! Those bright blue mountain days are always the best and ones to remember - cheers and thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. I'm always behind these days - ATB, Chris
@@MCMOutdoors On the beers already. Totally relate to your vid Chrislad. A recent family wildcamp has got my juju fired up for wildcamping and what it's really all about. Really off "balance", as you say, for the last year or so. Being away driving makes it difficult to bog off up the hills, once I'm home but, thinking that's just an excuse. Need to push myself, to look after myself and as long as I give the family their fare share.. Loved this vid Chris; honest as always and quite the videographer. Chilled, appreciated and refreshingly not at all, all about the gear. Keep going Chris - lot of people (incl me) thankful for the effort you put in.👊🏼
Top words mate and thanks for sharing - we're all human at the end of the day and as you know, I'm pretty honest and hope that comes across in my videos. It's the doing something about it that matters and by all accounts, you're smashing it there with a family wild camp! This was a bit of a poignant camp for me, without being all depressing - the reality that life is flying by was setting in - that the mountains and places I love will always be there, but we're just transient...... anyway, I've had too much Northern Monk - over and out! :-)
Great video Chris. You could have said that you’ve been away on a film making course because your footage just gets better! Hope you’re okay, these spanner’s, they’re a nightmare. Thanks for the inspiration ⛰️
Thanks Benny, it's a lovely tent. Very well put together and seam sealed at the factory. Noticeably taller in that I could sit up in the apex, even on the new thermarest NXT MAX which is thicker than the previous version. Cheers for watching.
Absolutely know where you are coming from. On a clear morning, on the otherside of the Irish Sea, the sun comes up behind Snowdonia , and it’s magic. All the best good sir. Oh what’s filtering thing you were using?
Some absolutely mint footage Chris 👌. Adventure is what it's all about. Great tent and the usual leave no trace, not too many midges , fantastic views n a few beers . Great vid . Nice one Chris, atb mate Rick n Billydog
Thanks Rick - a stunning area, which I know you know well. Was going to get up a bit higher, but the tops seem to be fairly rocky, so not sure what the ground would have been like. Thanks for watching pal
Great video pal, so easy to get into a rut, put my first video on the other day on my channel for 6 weeks, so know exactly where your coming from, but back on it now, it’s to precious to walk away from the fells mate, keep the great video and experience coming, take care 👍
It's is...... It's recognising it and sorting it out that counts - got to look after ourselves so we can keep getting up into great places to camp! ATB and thank you for watching
AS2 looks ace mate. I still haven’t got my Halland! However… I decided to go for a Lightwave Trail T10 four season. Absolutely blown away by the quality of the materials on it, not as big as the Halland (which I need for space) but it will do me for now. Sounds like a good camp and sometime for reflection. ATB Warren
@@MCMOutdoors I’ll get one soon, probably in the same colour too. I have a Thermarest cot bed which I’m determined to fit inside a tent for an ultimate night of sleep luxury 😂
@@MCMOutdoors ha ha I know… it’s nice to go from one extreme to the other though. From an Alpkit bivvy + sleeping bag only, to a cot bed 😂 mixes it up!
No way I'm getting my kit off on camera mate! Seems to work....... more testing needed, but first impressions ace! Lantern too - thanks for watching mate.
Hi Chris, superb video. I've never wild camped. So I was wondering. How you obtain permision to camp at Lynn Ogwen ? Forgive me if i'm asking the obvious...
Hi Stu, I didn't camp at Lynn Ogwen. Wild camping is usually tolerated if you camp higher up, pitch late and leave early and follow the principles of leave no trace.
Cheers Phil - was a brilliant camp. Hope you understand, but I don't put or giveaway exact locations anymore - it's just what I think is responsible to try and prevent any undue pressure on one particular spot - not that my channel is big or anything; but just my bit to be responsible. If you get a map out, I'm sure you can work it out pal - ATB, Chris
Hi Chris! Great video 😃 I’m looking for a new 4 season tent, so you think this will be suitable? How did you find the porch and interior room as I’m fairly tall at 6’4? Cheers mate
I think you would just about fit at six 4 mate, but only just. I'm bang on six ft but this version is much bigger than the last. If you can, get to an outdoor shop where they will let you get in and check - it's a cracking shelter and the compact pack size is very handy 🏕️👍
Have you ever tried a full Norwegian arctic field ration? Theyre around £15... For the price of just one of those meals its worth all the extra snack and drinks.
We all know how life stuff can get in the way and prevent us from getting out to do what we love, and the longer it gets in the way, the harder it can become to get out. Sometimes the hardest part of the hike and wild camp is just getting out of the front door. Its in your blood pal and long may you continue to get out and enjoy this magical country
Amazing footage Chris! Thank you for sharing your adventures with us. The beautiful scenery and the inspirational words of wisdom are much appreciated. Sometimes we all need to be reminded to not let the trials of life keep us in our rut too long, least we bog down and find ourselves unable to climb out. We all have those moments. We've got to look after ourselves so we can continue to have the adventures that feed our minds and our spirit.
Most excellent adventure, Chris. Loved the commentary, the videography and of course the drone footage. You are a natural story teller, and I could not fault anything about this video. Very encouraging and inspiring. Keep em coming!

I think you would just about fit at six 4 mate, but only just. I'm bang on six ft but this version is much bigger than the last. If you can, get to an outdoor shop where they will let you get in and check - it's a cracking shelter and the compact pack size is very handy 🏕️👍
@@MCMOutdoors How do you think it will fair as a summit camping tent? Are the end walls of the inner pretty much vertical?
That was another superb video mate, very open and honest as always
Nice one - appreciate you watching and taking time out to comment!
I wonder if flextail do a giant one to keep other people away lol.
😅👍
Have you ever tried a full Norwegian arctic field ration? Theyre around £15... For the price of just one of those meals its worth all the extra snack and drinks.
I haven't mate, where would I find them? I see Simon a Bloke in the Woods trying some different ones, he always seems to love them!
We all know how life stuff can get in the way and prevent us from getting out to do what we love, and the longer it gets in the way, the harder it can become to get out. Sometimes the hardest part of the hike and wild camp is just getting out of the front door. Its in your blood pal and long may you continue to get out and enjoy this magical country
Cheers Phil and very true words spoken - we do have some magical wild places here - thank you for watching pal
Amazing footage Chris! Thank you for sharing your adventures with us. The beautiful scenery and the inspirational words of wisdom are much appreciated. Sometimes we all need to be reminded to not let the trials of life keep us in our rut too long, least we bog down and find ourselves unable to climb out. We all have those moments. We've got to look after ourselves so we can continue to have the adventures that feed our minds and our spirit.
Top words and great feedback - much appreciated. ATB, Chris
Most excellent adventure, Chris. Loved the commentary, the videography and of course the drone footage. You are a natural story teller, and I could not fault anything about this video. Very encouraging and inspiring. Keep em coming!
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching
I've been eying up that tiny reply myself
First impressions positive mate - the usual swarm of midges inside the tent of an evening was distinctly absent !
