Every time I launch UA-cam on my computer at work, it ALWAYS opens to the last few seconds of this video, like Groundhog Day, always the same point, always this video, always with you in your trunks, Diolch yn fawr iawn, just about to step into the water, then the stumble. I don't mind that at all. I'm a fan; love your videos. Just thought this was funny enough to share with you!
Avoid going after a heavy rain as the crossing become tricky and dangerous, I fell in last week attempting to reach it. If you do attempt to reach it after heavy rain make sure you have some walking poles or long sticks to help safely navigate across the rivers.
lovely video Chris - thanks for posting :-) I went to the Einon Gam a couple of times around 10 years or so ago. a very rewarding hike knowing that I was probably he only person there that whole day. no, I didn't go in for a swim!! second time there I took my sister who couldn't believe the hike we took to get there, but shared the same sense of wonderment I did when first hearing the thunder of the falls before they came into sight 🙂 ill health and disability mean I can no longer get there, so I'm so glad I made the effort all those years ago, and glad I found your video to remind me 🙂
Nice one Chris, this is what Derek the weatherman’s walks should be like, highly instructive and descriptive, instead of all those annoying people and activities he and all the other TV walkers take part in!
Hi Chris, really enjoyed the video and would like to join you on a hike sometime. Love the outdoors and the adventure. I was there today but my friends wanted to stay on a clear foot path. I wanted to cross the river to walk the other side of the woods like you did. I also love wild swimming too but don't know many who are brave to do it.
Sgwd Einion Gam is great for wild swimming, it's been great this summer with the extreme heat, I'd suggest it's going to be very full over the next couple of days after heavy rain. Great video thanks Chris - you forgot your socks at the end 🤣🤣
Recently found your channel after finally walking to this waterfall. Have enjoyed catching up on your adventures. If you like waterfall hikes there is a good one around Blaencwm and Blaenrhondda which was featured on Weatherman Walking Series, where you can visit 6 waterfalls.
Thank you for this vid it inspired me to do the four waterfalls on valentines day with my gf and it was amazing to say the least, I will now be doing these falls also..thanks again
Great video mate! Went on this stroll today and unfortunately I wasn’t too keen on that last waterfall. Being winter and heavy rainfall this past week there really was no suitable place to cross. Went up and down that whole side of the river. Very slippery, sketchy, water looked well up to shin height and precarious. If your happy to get wet up to that height then by all means. Watch your step current looked strong and unpredictable at the time. Loved this stroll aswell as the Henrhyd Falls.
Great work again Chris. I have been to Gam twice and video'd - but this old geezer didn't go in although the 2nd visit was exhilirating as I stood in the spray :)
Congratulations on making it up to one of my local, favourite falls, and getting in for a swim. Try Henrhyd falls in Coelbren next. It’s 92 feet high and also has a cave behind that’s big enough to hold a dance.
That is a cracking video Chris! Your video artistry really shows the Elidir Trail off for the amazing walking route it is. We only walked this trail ourselves in early April this year and in our opinion, it is the best of all the Brecon Beacons waterfall walks. Nice work!
Two women lost their lives at these falls this week. Take an experienced person with you if you go in Winter, but the falls will be at their finest then. Take care and enjoy every moment of your visit to wonderland !.
Thanks for letting me know it’s still closed. I’m not sure what narrow pathway you speak off? The road leading to the car park is very narrow, but it’s not at all unsafe.Especially when it’s the only way local residents can access their farms and homes…
Awesome video, it was Perilous when I went very recently it was difficult with the water level, and the next week I would urge people not to try it, as I was over knee to crutch deep on the way for my swim at the falls, and next within the next weeks rain forecast the water would probably take you down the river ,

Thanks for your great blog Namesake. Hope to meet you there one day.

Thank you for the directions - I had a go at the fifth waterfall years ago but the vegetation beat me back

Haaaa a few socks for the lads. So good. Really enjoy your videos thank you!

Another well created video Chris 👍😆

Just awesome! 😎
Diolch
Lo hise la semana pasada , súper pero muchas rocas ,, pero lo terminamos 😮
good video mate!
Love it
Hi chris love your videos! You should have well more followers! Great content 👍🏾
Thanks for the kind words
Brilliant looking walk. Another one to add to my endless list of places to hike 👍
These falls end of February this year were absolutely raging and have never seen so much water!
Amazing video and so helpful. Liked & subscribed. Thank you. Is it safe to do this walk in early December?
Two women lost their lives at these falls this week. Take an experienced person with you if you go in Winter, but the falls will be at their finest then. Take care and enjoy every moment of your visit to wonderland !.
Great video!👍
I'm planning to do this walk within the next month or two. Can anyone advise if this walk is suitable with a dog please?
Great video I would have liked it better to view a walk through the whole walk so I can see the whole trek which I am searching for on UA-cam
Pont melin fach car park is still closed. Also single very narrow pathway - unsafe to drive through
Thanks for letting me know it’s still closed.
I’m not sure what narrow pathway you speak off?
The road leading to the car park is very narrow, but it’s not at all unsafe.Especially when it’s the only way local residents can access their farms and homes…
