Elidir Fawr & Y Garn Hike | Snowdonia National Park
It was an awesome day out in the mountains.
Quite a challenging route up towards Y Garn followed by a ridge walk providing some of the best views of the Snowdonia National Park then later ascending Elidir Fawr.
We started our route in Nant Peris ascending towards Y Garn and it is a relentless, steep ascent to the top! Worth it though to see excellent views of Tryfan and Glyder Fawr.
Making our way along the ridge allowed us to get our breath back before tackling Elidir.
Elidir, the most northern peak of Glyderau. It is known as Big Elidir referencing a 6th-century warrior king in Welsh legend. There is also a power station inside the mountain where water flows from the upper reservoir of Marchlyn Mawr to the lower Llyn Peris.
I wish I could say that descending was much easier!

My first attempt at the National 3 Peaks Challenge | Epic fail ❌
มุมมอง 684 หลายเดือนก่อน
As you can guess by the title, unfortunately, we didn't finish the challenge in under 24 hours due to road congestion and an injury when descending from Ben Nevis. That didn't take away our enjoyment of travelling to the Scottish Highlands and we also raised some money for the earthquake relief appeal in Morocco. We will definitely attempt this again in the future as we will do things different...
My Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge
มุมมอง 1789 หลายเดือนก่อน
Filmed in August 2023, this was our attempt at the Yorkshire 3 Peak Challenge. I was joined by Martin and Alison who I met during my Mount Toubkal adventure. A challenging walk involving 24.5 miles with 5,200 feet (1585m) of ascent. We would also have high winds, rain and hail to add to the challenge. Did we make it under 12 hours to complete the challenge? Instagram: richywayne15
Aran Fawddwy Hike | Snowdonia National Park
มุมมอง 38110 หลายเดือนก่อน
Located in Southern Snowdonia and is the 16th-highest summit in Wales (905.6m). This has been one of my favourite mountain walks in the park. I start my ascent from Cwm Cywarch where remains of an old mining village surround the valleys and before this was apparently home to a band of outlaws known as Cochion Cywarch (The Reds of Cywarch) which is said to be named for the colour of their leader...
Moel Siabod Highlights

Lots of fun climbing Mount Siabod via the Daear Ddu route involving some tough scrambling to the top. The Coast Guard Rescue helicopter also landed near us to attend to someone who slipped. I hope the injury was only minor. It's good to know that there are professionals out there in case of situations like that.

Arenig Fawr Hike | Snowdonia National Park

Hiking Arenig Fawr in the Snowdon Range then finishing the walk with a wild camp next to the lake and bothy on the other side. It is a great circular route, make sure to take a GPS or map as conditions could make it very easy to get lost and there are limited parking spaces. GPX File can be found here, lots of great walking suggestions here as well :) - www.travelhackergirl.com/hiking-to-arenig...

Great route. I’ve washed to do that one for a while 👌
Cracking vid, never done Y Garn from that side before. New Sub here, ATB Paul
great Video Mate 👍
Doing this mountain tomorrow
Nice one! Hope you had a good ascent to the top.
waiting for your welsh 3000s video
ooooof, maybe one day 🤣
done this route myself, beautiful trip. need to go back and try and do tryfan at some point
Well done. Looks beautiful. Perfect day and weather.
Good vid. I agree it's so good to be outdoors. Good filming. Waun Fach, the Dragons Back is beautiful. So many go to Pen y Fan and miss out on it. You mentioned Grwyne Fawr, the smallest bothy. It's a great little place. I recently stayed the night there. Hope you get there too.👋👍
Cheers. It is a stunning area and will definitely have to stop at that bothy in the future. Maybe when I do some astrophotography!
on our list of walks and you've given a great insight , tgank you
Thanks for the comment and glad you enjoyed. A great place to visit.
Hi. Good vid.👍 Beautiful views. This one is on my list. Do you have more planned soon?
Should have a new one out this week and I've got plenty of walks coming up soon!
@@Richywayne Cool. Some just stop. Loved the Cat's back one. I'll follow your journey if you are doing more. I'm going on hike tomorrow. The weather looks ok in the afternoon. Liked and subbed now. Look forward to your next vid.👍👋
Sounds good and thank you for the support! Enjoy your walk 😁
Very nice.
Love it there.
Hi. It looks great. Hoping to do this one.👍
Highly recommend! Look out for the secret waterfall nearby as well.
Oh that's good to know, I often go to waterfalls.👍
Thanks for filming this. Great walk with quality drone footage. Would you say there are spots for wild camping up on the ridge?
Thank you for the comment :) I recall it was quite rocky on the top but there were better places just below the summit. Shouldn't be a problem!
Dig the main pit deeper for the firepit. You want to be at least 2ft deep to hide the flamage. Great vid BTW 👌
Thanks for the comment :) We will definetely keep that in mind next time we do some wildcamping. It's been quite a while, must get out again soon!
Well done Sir, a very informative insight into your day. Hoping to go around there next and although it’s January I’m hoping to have good conditions. Thanks again Matt
Thank you for the comment Matt and glad you enjoyed the video. I hope the conditions stay good for you as it's a fantastic spot! Enjoy 😊
Another cracking video Rich. You’ve inspired me to want to go an attempt the Yorkshire 3 peaks challenge. If I’m perfectly honest I’d never considered it until watching this. Although I hope the weather is nicer to me than it seemed to be for you. All the best Aiden.
Thank you for the comment! I'm glad it has inspired you to check it out, it really is an awesome and beautiful trail. I'm also looking to try the other 3 peak challenges next year. The bad weather kinda made it more exciting and adventurous, but I would have preferred the sun 😂. All the best and have a smashing xmas and new year 😁
Amazing!!! Well done Rich! 😊🙏
Thanks Sonia :)
awesomeee
My favourite time of year
Definitely mine as well!
Excellent video
Thanks for the comment :)
Looks a very nice mountain in nice conditions. I imagine you got back down buzzing. Mark
Absolutely, I'm still buzzing from the day. Lots of fun scrambling to the top as well which was unexpected on the day. But there are much easier routes to the top. Fantastic area!
@@Richywayne Good to hear of the vibe Rich. Take care.
@@WyeExplorerthanks for watching and you too!
@@Richywayne A pleasure.
Brilliant! What an adventure and achievement! Filming and documenting as well as climbing must have been very challenging. A beautifully shot, created, and uplifting film. Well done Rich!
Thank you for your comments and I'm glad you enjoyed it! An adventure I'll never forget.
Oh wow - the street entertainer with the swirling tassel was in our restaurant after summitting - and we saw the white dog in Imlil - a dead ringer for our own dog who'd passed away 3 weeks before me and my daughter did the hike!
I loved the instrument he was playing and that dog was a bit of a celebrity in the area and I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your dog. I hope you and your daughter enjoyed the experience of the climb as much as I did!
The hike was amazing thanks. Jordan and the hike to Petra next for me in 2024.
Brilliant! Those are definitely on my bucket list! Will have to think what's next for me.@@summitupmark5615
I summited 5 weeks ago - what a fabulous video. You must be as heartbroken as me seeing the awful sad news now 😥
Congrats on your summit and thank you for your comments. It really is devastating. The people in Morocco and in the Atlas Mountain range were some of the kindest and most humble people I've ever met and we made a lot of great friends and my thoughts are with all those sadly affected by it. We are still waiting to hear from a few other guides. A few from my group have also sponsored me for a hiking challenge in aid of the earthquake relief effort. Hopefully this will help the emergency services reach and assist those in need as quickly as possible.
Great time out Rich. It's been a while since I was up Waun Fach - it's changed a lot with the paths etc. A few blocks on the trail and wrong turns but a good walk up reminiscing about the Moroccan trip. Well done - yeah dig a bit deeper. You did that alright. Lovely drone shots - I was spotting old walks and adventures. Well, good going. Enjoyed that. Mark
Glad you enjoyed the video. It is such a beautiful area to explore. It is sometimes nice to go off the beaten tracks. Walking in the mountains and pushing yourself is so rewarding. I will have to check other walks in the area. Next upload will be in the snowdon range, which was one of my favourites so far in the national park! Take care, Rich
@@Richywayne Yeah, it was good. It is a great area - I know it well. For sure seeing what the body has is a great energy. All the best with future explores. Snowdonia is cracking.
well done to your mom for beating cancer and raising £1,100 for the charity 😀
Thank you! A very proud achievement 😄
Great video Rich, really enjoyed it, give yourself a pat on the back
Such a fantastic film which maybe doesn't really represent what an achievement this was & how determined Rich was to make it . He did brilliantly.
Thank you! One of the best adventures of my life. I couldn't ask for better people to ascend the mountain with 🙂
Well done mate great video
Thanks Mark, glad you enjoyed the video 😄
Another top quality video, I went to Morocco a few years back and one of my biggest regrets wasn’t doing this mountain. I really like what you did with the google earth shots by the way this helps to create a full picture. Did you try any of the local delicacies whilst out there. Food cooked in Tagine was amazing and the Berber omelettes were also amazing! As always really enjoyed watching and looked like an amazing trip one I’ve now added to my bucket list. Best wishes Aiden
Thanks for the comment! I couldn't recommend it enough to climb Toubkal. It felt a good introduction to the bigger mountains. I really enjoyed putting the maps together and like you say, I think it helps people get a better idea of the route. The food was amazing, the Tagines in particular tasted incredible and I remember the omelettes being very good. The people were very helpful and friendly and I learned a lot about the Berber Culture. All the best - Rich
Safe travels.
Amazing video dude! this content is amazing and you really deserve more attention! big thumbs up from me and you just gained a subscriber! Also I recently climb Waun Fach aswell back in Feb I went up via the Dragons Back but I've only just got round to editing and uploading my video, its not as high quality as yours mind, but I enjoy it. Keep up the food work I'll be coming back for more!
Thank you for your kind words and support! I really enjoy making these and can't wait to share more. Brilliant, the Dragons Back looked a great route up to Waun Fach and yes the editing does take a long time. I'll check out your video shortly and support you back. ATB - Rich :)
What a great video, enojyed watching it. Have subscribed in support! We know how hard it can be to produce good content and get your YT off the ground. Going through it ourselves. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the comment and glad you enjoyed it! Just checked your channel, love it. Subscribed and will support you back :)
@@Richywayne Ah you legend! Thank you!
Wow, amazing views
Thanks. The Snowdon Range is absolutely stunning!
Very nice, have a great day. New friend here. Nothing like a great walk and time outside.
Thanks for the comment and I couldn't agree more! Take care and thanks for watching 😊
Fantastic hike Rich and good to see you in my home county. Both the Bluff and the Black Hill are for sure blessed with great views. You were blesse with a good day to it looked. I've been coming here for many years and I never tire of it. I imagine you'll return. Well, good going. All the best in Morocco. Mark
Thanks so much for the support and comment! It was a beautiful area and I look forward to returning to explore more. Getting an early night for my flight tomorrow and look forward to sharing my stories on my return.
Fantastic Rich - enjoyed the hike up into wild country. One of the last wildernesses in wales I'd say. Great on top with the wind break and memorial. Forever remembered. Well, a decent amount of sleep but keck an early rise and descent off the mountain. Good going though. Mark
Thanks Mark, it certainly felt Wild up there and I did not see anybody else until I got to the bothy. It truly was peaceful and very sentimental seeing the memorial. Mountains are great places for reflection! An early rise it was 😂
@@Richywayne A pleasure Rich. Good to hear of the wild and peaceful country. Nice you felt that way about the memorial . Early to rise makes.......
Good flight there Rich - looked a nice stroll in the forest. The Ram in sounds like a blast - a visitation or two then? Good going with eh fund raising. My father Terry died of Cancer. Well, all the best in Snowdonia. Take care. Mark
Thanks Mark. A lovely place to wander around. The Ram Inn was definitely a memorable night and I look forward to premiering that soon! So sorry to hear about your loss, it is a horrible disease. My mom was diagnosed with cancer six years ago and she was very fortunate to get through it. Since then, I look at life very differently and have been trying to help Cancer Research and a local cancer trust set up by my mom and friend where I can.
Great video Rich. Drone footage was ace.
Thanks 🙂 I was really happy with the drone footage. It was worth lugging it up with me! 😂
great stuff mate, looks like a good hike. how far was it
Cheers! Roughly around 9 miles 👍
Great aerial footage! You are good drone operator. Thank you for sharing this nice work!
Thanks 😄 enjoyed putting this one together!
broth, Omg!best footage~🥸
Ive heard the Ginger one comes from the forest and jumps around the branches.
Are you allowed to wild camp at wyre forest or is it a if tou dont get caught kinda thing.
Thanks for sharing guys
Brilliant!
When you were wild camping? Did you get permission of land owners? Such as the dog house? Me and my step dad are planning this next year and just trying to work out where we will be staying? Preferably camping outside
And for your knowledge. The “quiet bits” of the forest away from the visitor centre are where the deer live. Stay the fuck away.
