Earned a sub from me, loved the way you checked everything before letting your dog in and for cleaning up to an incredible standard. Never understand people that can carry stuff to a bothy or on a hike or to the beach etc but can't bring their rubbish back home when it's lighter. Never stayed in a bothy but there's a lot to be learned from your video. Stayed for a long weekend in the area in an out of the way place, beautiful area, I had always called it Elan like the way you pronounced it but have heard some people referring to it as Ellen valley, wasn't quite sure which was correct . All he best.

Diolch Ryan. I should have mentioned, was good to see Toby, even if it was a brief appearance. I’ll check that link out, definitely give them a go.

I am getting into hiking and this video is amazing.

Loved every minute of this. You bagged those summits in good time. And I know what you mean when the old knees play up going down hill, what was your pack weight? Looked like you were quite light. Can I ask where the whiskey pouches come from, they look perfect for camps? Thanks for taking us along on this one. Serk

Great informative video, made me more excited about camping and took the decision of getting the Kestrel 48L Cheers mate : )

Excellent and very comprehensive video. Nicely done buddy. Good point on the pee bottle where was the one you’ve got bought from?

Oh thanks for the response Ryan. I'm glad that I never did hard drugs though. I mean yes when I was younger I did smoke some marijuana but quit. That stuff is legal now in many states here but that does not make it good. I did have some friends who did hard stuff though. I told them numerous times to stop but some did not listen. I lost a couple friends from overdoses it was not good. They were pretty good guys.

Brilliant video. Have used it as guidance for packing for the Cotswold Way.Many thanks

Are you mainly of Welsh ancestry man? Most people are mixed especially these days. My dad's side is mainly Irish and my mom's side is mainly Italian. I'm sure I have some other European descent also but have never taken one of those DNA tests. I admit my Irish side of the family loves to drink and party and so do I LOL. I have been watching some documentaries about medieval Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and England. Man they drank a ton of alcohol. I mean of course throughout history many cultures have and still do. I'm not saying it's right it can definitely take its toll on a person's health after a while.

Hi mate,doing a wild camp on or around table mountain this weekend,do you no of a safe place to park overnite,i no there are car parks in the crickhowell town but are they 24hr and safe?

Nice dog mate looks looks a collie pointer

Oh thanks for your service Ryan. I'm so proud of the generation my Grandpa was from. They call that era the Greatest Generation. He was fighting nazis at 19. I can only imagine what he dealt with. Of course I am also thankful towards other servicemen who have been in other wars. My Grandpa had it the worst though. If it were not for men like him we would have lost that war for sure. We would all probably be speaking German and would be under some kind of nazi regime. Let's hope a Third World War does not happen buddy. The U.S. is having a lot of tensions with Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran. If that happened most would have to go depending on age and health. I would volunteer but I'm kinda getting older. I'm almost 40 and have had some injuries. I'm not sure if I would see combat at my age but if they wanted me to I would. I mean the Vietnam War only drafted ages 18-26. I think it will be alright but these days who knows buddy. Let's hope peace can prevail.

I've been run or walked on or near most of the places you visited- but over a period of 50 years - not 10 days! Well done!

Cracking vid! Good to see the right thing being done when so many bogans don't. Give Toby a Cush from me.,.x

Amazing sharing ✨👌👍✨🌺

Oh hey Ryan did you say you were in the Military? My Grandpa was in the Second World War, my Uncle was in the Vietnam War, and had some friends who were in Iraq and Afghanistan. They all saw a lot of combat. They did not like talking about it much. Sometimes they would tell things after they had some drinks though they dealt with a lot. My Grandpa died years ago he was a great guy. My Uncle is still alive he is in his 70's now. Of course my friends are still alive.

Aways enjoy your videos man !

Oh thanks for the reply Ryan. For some reason the comment I posted the other day was deleted. It happens.

This is a cool video WaW :) thanks for sharing, you are wise to avoid the Brecon Beacon crowds on a Bank holiday as it can be so busy it feels like walking through Piccadilly Circus ! we've subscribed, look forward to your watching your content :)

We love your videos you are so knowledgeable mate. We live in Swansea and Christian Lewis was my next door neighbour for years our birthdays are 3 days apart so we used to have joint parties and gatherings. Great videos , so much information about the beacons. Keep going xx

Oh great video Ryan the names Spencer by the way. I'm the guy from California. You have been in the wild many times like I have. I was wondering have you ever seen a U.F.O.? I know some people think it's crazy to talk about this issue but that's not true anymore. In the United States a lot is going on about this. I mean many T.V. shows, a lot of footage is being released, and many credible people have been testifying in front of Congress about what they know and have seen. Many of them are ex-military and current military. You should look up the name David Grusch he is one of them. I saw one when I was younger and it changed my mind about many things. I heard the U.K. has had many sightings over the years. I think the public has a right to know about this.

I love it. Awesome video. Great story you shared with us. My son lived in Wales many years and we did some smaller hikes there. Once he brought me a bottle of Bushmills... Carry on, mate, cherrs Michael

Lovely chilled get away, good to see toby has recovered. I thought I knew about trig points but didn’t know about the number and database.. learning something new every time

Hey I just found you via Dai camp n wild with the dragon, we met you on Fan y Big, I will play catch up on your videos soon👏🏻🍻

Great vid again Ryan, i need to convert you to some astro photography. All that time spent under the stars.

Ryan you do pick your days 😅😅 great to see toby out with you. Those sink holes are you sure it’s not mines for Stonehenge pillars?

I miss Wales....such a cracking place. Next time I go camping going to read a whole book!

Awesome video. Thanks for sharing. Sub & 👍240

Another good video 👌 I was also at that beach that day. Chris is my idol ❤️ finished that 2 book of his in 4 days 😂 can't beat waking up to the singing skylarks 🐦

Excellent video! No 'fluff ' to pad it out . Very well edited. Question, those sink holes, is that from coalmining collapse? Or something more natural? Really enjoy your trips out in Wales, I always learn something!

Ha soon as me and nick turned up for a camp at cadair Fawr, it started belting it down being there the same afternoon as you was out. Great information about the trigs ry, and good to see your camping buddy back out. I've been looking at them msr tents and just purchased the msr elixir 1.Think we are so lucky having all this on our door step ry, there are people that travel couple 100 miles just to camp here. Another cracker, catch you soon.

So many great things about this video! First, great to see Toby. The two of you sitting together in camp. It doesn’t get much better than that! The story of the guy walking around Scotland sounds interesting. Will have to look into the book. I’m in the States so I hadn’t heard about the Trig points. How interesting! Thanks for all the info. Your last drink sounded delicious! Thank you for sharing time with us!!

Excellent video again buddy 👏 glad to see your sidekick back out with you too. Some great footage again and very informative about the trig points. Look forward to seeing you both on your next journey 👏

Another great vid and good to see you out after that long trip, Toby looking well too 👍

Good to see you and Toby out again. Nice chilled camp with good food and whiskey, perfect. Don’t know if you tried it, Arran Sherry Cask, very nice. Look forward to the next one. Thanks for sharing. Serk

Nice to see Toby out again. Diolch. Enjoy the weather.

Love the historic content of your videos mate,ive just spent a few days in the clwydians and roaming around all the hillforts there,its amazing how the remains are so well preserv'd,certainly make's for an interesting hike,another great video and good to see toby back out and about,look forward to your next vid👍

Great vid. I’ve camped on cadiar fawr but not here so definitely will have to check it out. Great info on the trig points as i had no idea. Look forward to the next one

I enjoyed that vid mate..I watched them all..enjoy watching Toby poach the best spot in the tent .he’s a faithful mate

Nice spot to pitch that Ry. Been meaning to walk that area for a while, had no idea about the sink holes or cairns. Nice bit of information about trigs and good to see Toby back in action. Look forward to the next trip 👍

Mad to think I was over cadiar fawr and u was opposite 😂, we got caught in the rain also but stopped a round 8 o'clock, like u said it was nice camp no wind or rain through the night, never tried that Jura I'll look out for it 👍

Nice peaceful overnighter there! I was out wild camping on the Quantocks on Sat night with one of my dogs, a sunny afternoon, relatively warm night and deer barking and owls hooting to keep us company amd then a cracking sunrise for a 7mile walk back in. Never saw a soul. Always nice to get away from the crowds!

Brilliant video Ry. Nice to see you local, it encourages others to realise there are other places to Pen y Fan 🤦🏻 Drives me mad that everyone only goes there thinking it's Everest😁 I know lots of people that only do that one. It's crazy busy. I think it's good you are making your own grub at home, everyone does the packets, you are different doing your own and bagging it.👌👍 Crazy strong can 9.2% must taste like aftershave.😂 That whisky sounds nice finished in red wine barrel. Book sounds brilliant I'll look in to that. Thanks. Brilliant story. Had no idea about the cairns there and old burial ground. Amazing. I've been Twmbarlwm quite a few times, it's only small but great views on a clear day are great. There's loads of history to that, but they are not sure of what exactly it is. You made me laugh when you said the cloud is over there and you had it clear and no crowds. Great watch. Keep them coming butty.👍

Fantastic little spot there. Poor Toby looked so sad about the lack of butcher meat lol. That bubbling chirping bird in rhe video sounds like a skylark

Another enjoyable video, very peaceful to watch. The drone shots were impressive showing all the sink holes and thanks for the information regarding the trig points.

Great little adventure, good to see your sidekick back😂

Toby is the most chilled dog I have ever seen.... what a wonderful companion. It's been a very long time since I have been to that trig and only once ever - I started from a pull in on the far side of Llwyn On reservoir. Seeing your footage of the area it as a certain feel that you find in that area of the two other trig points you mentioned and I would say Penwyllt in the west to Mynydd Llangyndir in the east, lots of sink holes and a wild barren feel to them. It's an area that is definitely the quietr part of the Beacons..shhh. I think I recall the Christin Lewis story but didn't realise he had done a book - its on my list to get now..thanks. atb Alan

Cracking little video Ryan and good to see Toby back out and about enjoying the adventure again. Very interesting about the trig points I knew they marked the highest point int the area but didn’t know anything else about them learn something new everyday 😀Cheers mate. ATB boys 👍🏻

Just get on with the proper video release !! :)

What a super mini camp that was after your epic mission last time- you certainly have some beautiful natural surroundings there to immerse yourself in! Great to see Toby again, and bet he looks forward to sausages again! Thanks for the heads up about the trig stations, good to learn. And the book recommendation-will see if I can track that down, sounds like an amazing story. Thanks for taking us with you, great video!
