Thank you... I'm sure you'll be just fine. There's plenty of spots up there and I personally haven't been bothered at all. Hope you have a great time when you're up.

One of the toughest days on my legs that was! And I've done some long distance hikes in the Lake's with my old man!

Matching pink cups 🩷

It was a perfect camp 👌🏼 Yes, we do. Need to get myself some clobber to wear in the woods. My lightweight mountain stuff wouldn't last long! 🤣

Don't need anything fancy, just some hard wearing stuff.

Definitely got lucky with this camp... Wouldn't have surprised me if we did get hail 🤣

It was the first time I've been up, with the weather being so good the summit was quite busy! Hangers around past sunset, then early in the morning for sunrise. Wasn't a camp if you wanted solitude in the mountains! 🤣

Thanks! Certainly felt every step 🤣. It was a fantastic night under the stars 👌🏼

Thanks for watching 👍🏼... Few mods have been done on the tent now, so I'll bring it back out throughout the summer 🤙🏼

Always good to have a few mishaps, otherwise you'll never learn and do things better in the future 👍🏼

It's not a bad tent, just not when I've tried to modify it 🤣... I think a few people almost went over 🤣. Thank you 🤙🏼

Thank you, much appreciated 👍🏼... Will check your channel out 🤙🏼

@@mananddog.outdoors much appreciated 👍🏕

The best 🤙🏼

Tastes great and really satisfying to chew into. Proper jaw workout. Speaking of great chocolate products, I recently discovered Cadburys Caramilk. Different sort if thing and full of sugar, but delicious.

The caramel is incredible! Love those... Cadburys version of the Caramac 👌🏼

I've got a few mods that I'm going to do 👍🏼

@mananddog.outdoors there's a mint tent that f10 did called f10 vitesse very similar setup but rock solid

Just had a look at that, looks a great shelter 👍🏼

Thank you mate... Yes, it's always nice to hear the skylarks singing 👍🏼

Thank you mate. Hopefully we can get a sunrise or two over the summer 🤞🏼, we can only hope.

It definitely is... Love it when you can't get a signal, so it forces you to not scroll through social media and actually connect with nature 👌🏼

Absolutely agree. It's easy to focus on the negative when in the moment, it's not until you step away and reflect when you find the positives in these experiences.

Thank you... It's a great mat, doesn't have a high r-value, think it's around 1.6, so it's not one for winter. I was kept warm on this camp though. It's comfy, which is always a bonus! Lightweight and packs small as well 👍🏼

Thanks both. It's a fantastic part of the country, often overlooked, mainly probably due to having Snowdonia and the Peaks relatively close by. Plenty of options for walks and spots to camp.

Thanks! 🙏🏼... The views didn't disappoint... Love it over around Devil's Kitchen, haven't camped there for a while though, need to get back.

It was a cracking spot 👍🏼, views were spot on from there. Yes, we've had some pretty rough weather recently, so this was nice to have.

It's all about having the correct gear. It was all down to the mods that I did with the setup on this camp. Going to rethink those and do more mods. That way if I do get caught like that again, it shouldn't be an issue.

Lesson learned, definitely won't be making the same mishap again. On to the next one, which is this weekend so I can tick of April's camp (aiming for one each calendar month 🤞🏼)

@@mananddog.outdoors I’m out on Sunday, looks like it’s gonna be a cold one 🥶🥶

Get those thermals out! 😂

Definitely. Just made the wrong choice with the shelter that I took.

Thank you mate 🙏🏼... Hopefully others can use this and avoid similar mistakes. I often say I don't make mistakes, I create opportunities to learn 👍🏼

That was part of my thinking, however, as the video shows, the rain did pass and it cleared up. Lovely sunset and stars were out as I continued the hike. But it remained windy. With my gear damp, I think I'd have struggled to stay warm and comfortable. So the correct decision. That shelter will be kept for true summer camps. Ogwen valley is great, I love it there. Thank you for watching 👍🏼

Firstly, thank you for watching 🙏🏼 and thanks for the constructive feedback. The first point I will take on board and will think about going forward on future videos. The second one, I can see your point. But do also think that someone's accent is who they are. I don't want to become someone I'm not and I'm proud of my Shropshire (raised here)/Nottingham (born here) roots. Part of how I articulate words is partly down to having a stammer, so I find I pronounce words in a way that I think helps me speak and reduce stuttering/blocking. However, I will endeavour to continue to improve, I'm not camera trained and just being in front of one, filming myself and releasing it for anyone to see if a huge step from where I was. Again, thank you for taking your time to watch. I appreciate all views as well as comments 👍🏼

yeah sure, and perhaps he could speak Mandarin for Chinese audiences, you twonk

@@snarkybuttcrack I'll get some lessons sorted...

You can’t get the northerner out of a northerner. Never change who you are.

I think you are very rude. Credit to him for doing a TH-cam channel as it isn’t easy.

Quite fancy running it all in one hit 💪🏼

Thanks for watching mate. Yes, the drone improves the video a lot, can't wait to use it more. The weather hasn't been great though recently. Edale Skyline video will be up for tomorrow evening 👍🏼

Yeah he does sleep next to. He's pretty good when he's in the tent as well.

It's a cracking route, I also enjoy going up via Ashes Hollow as well. Thank you, much appreciated 👍🏼

Ashes Hollow is also a great walk. I really need to get out there again.

@@alexbraid8700 I'm fortunate to have it relatively close by. Feel the Shropshire Hills are underappreciated.

@@mananddog.outdoors it's on my doorstep but I have to travel by train. I don't drive so I'm limited. I'd love to do Stiperstones

Ahh right. Hope you manage to get out there soon. Yes, Stiperstones is on my to-do list.

It certainly does. That and The Lawley, probably two of the windiest hills in Shropshire.

@@mananddog.outdoors never been up the Lawley, probably worth a visit?

It's one to do, but as it's not the one of the higher summits in the area, I'd recommend to do it as part of a longer hike... If you wanted to make your walk longer that is.

@@mananddog.outdoors I usually try for shorter! Ha, thanks mate

Always prefer to avoid the crowds and they're just as nice, if not better than the busier areas. Haha, it's always a gamble when in Wales with the weather!

Thank you mate 👍🏼

Yes, it's not necessarily a bad thing. It does make you realise that you will never expect to move jobs. Always good to learn any new skills to make you more employable. Enjoyed not rushing around getting my coffee sorted! Alcohol is definitely better, still a place for gas though. Thank you for watching 🙏🏼

I'm a Shropshire lad, so not too far from Snowdonia. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment 👍🏼

Thank you mate, much appreciated 👍🏼

Thank you 😊

Thanks mate. Enjoyed that one, think I'm a converted alcohol stoves user now, although I'll use gas at times depending on what I'm doing. That ridge from Capel Curig to Y Foel Goch was just a long bog. It's about 3.5miles to the foot of Glyder Fach 👍🏼

Thank you 😊. It's definitely one to explore and I'll be going back for sure. The views we're stunning. I've got the Vango Nevis 300.

@@mananddog.outdoors ahhh we thought it was a Vango and I thought it looked huge lol! Thank you 🙏🏼

It's a lovely part of the country, possibly the most underrated (mainly due to Snowdonia and the Peaks being close by). It's my regular go to spot to test gear or have a night away at short notice. Thanks for the sub 👍🏼

@@mananddog.outdoors Definitely underrated, Carding Mill Valley is also a great place to start from, if a bit busy on a nice day and the campsite at Little Stretton is ideal for those who won't wild camp

@@pauledwards499 i walked through the campsite on this video. I often go into the Ragleth Inn for a pint pre hike.

@@mananddog.outdoors The Ragleth is a nice pub, cracking pint of Guinness and decent food. The Green Dragon, a few hundred yards away, is also good

Thank you 🙏🏼

Thank you. I can't say there is, I haven't done any of the challenging ridges (grib coch, striding edge etc). I'd like to build him up to something like them though. He's only 2, so plenty of time yet. I think it's a case of just knowing your dog and what their abilities are.

Thanks for the sub and comment. It's greatly appreciated. I certainly enjoyed this one, so did the dog... As always 😁... Until the next one! 🤙🏼
