    Brilliant video Stu - one of your best I reckon. Fab location. Drone footage was perfect - even timed a two-bird fly-past! I'm impressed that you didn't fall in the tarn! Love seeing all the gear and food - your out-of-date drink made me smile!!! Really enjoyed the video - superb watch.

    Great video Stuart, lovely place. My pet hate, is people being so disrespectful and scorching the earth, when there is no need to. If you go onto the mountains, wear the right gear and you stay warm, it is as simple as that!

    • @StuartThow

    Lovely spot isn't it. Been that way a few times going to the Clogwen Person scramble. There's a smaller tarn just up on the right. And yes. Your right about the fires. I often get people argue it's fine on the FB groups. It's not 😊.... Loved the drone shots 👌

    • @StuartThow
      @StuartThow  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah I got chatting to a guy who camped at the other tarn, sounds like another great location I need to visit. Camp fires I'm not a fan of if wild camping , it's not exactly leaving no trace. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment, much appreciated 👍🏻😊

    Ahhhh, I've had that spot marked out for a while. I'm always concerned it might be a tad busy. Did you go on a weekday? So annoying people are hacking at that lovely tree and making campfires there. What is wrong with people? Idiots!
    And mate...schoolboy error...no beers. 😫 I think I'd just go home. 🤣
    I've just got myself an alcohol stove, am looking forward to using it.
    Great camp mate. 👍

    • @StuartThow
      @StuartThow  ปีที่แล้ว

      I went on a Saturday but after I got pitched up others arrived planning to camp on the island, so I was pretty lucky to get on it. I think a weekday would be best really. Thanks for watching mate ☺️

    What a great place to camp! Love a bit of morning clag! :-) But yes, scorch marks are not needed. Have a ire by all means (but use dead wood rather than hacking at the tree!) but just clean up afterwards, it's not hard is it? Some people man. I am looking at one of those stoves you use (looks similar to the xboil but much cheaper) i looked on the Speedster website bit couldn't work out which one it was as there seems to be a few. Any chance you can link to it here please? Cheers.

      I use the larger 50ml burner, 130mm folding ground protecter and the custom combined windshield/pot holder.
