Can't quite put my finger on it, but this video has such a nice feeling about it. The music, the positive attitude, the scenery, it all worked really well! Nice one 🤙
I feel the same as though I'm going to explode inside, restless wanting to be out in nature, missing that feeling of the challenge, the cool air and the wind rain the magic of the sunlight dancing through the trees and on the water, I find the only true medicine is to go and do, its like a drug you can never get enough of, and I'm always planning my next adventure.
Couldn't have said it better myself. I've spent far too much money on camping gear in the past few weeks just to combat my cabin fever...only to make it worse, because now I want to go test it. Luckily I have my Colorado Rockies in my backyard but I have to wait for the snow to melt a bit before my roommate is willing to go camping. Snowdonia looks awesome! I didn't get a chance to go there when I was in Wales last, I spent all my time in Cardiff and Caerphilly. Is there a way to get to Snowdonia using public transport? We're heading there in September and a bit of backpacking sounds "lush" :)
Loved this video! It's definitely inspired me to get back out into nature. I only live a few miles from Snowdonia, and you're right, it's easy to make excuses.
Thank you so much for posting this video. Amazing footage and very well edited. Also, it gave me the courage to wild camp as well on a 4 day cycling trip through Wales I did this month!
Fantastic Athena you certainly covered some ground amazing light on the summit well captured and well deserved hot chocolate for sure one of the best parts for sure....thanks for sharing.
Just came across this, and was just what I needed to see - thank you so much for creating such a beautiful video. Has inspired me to head back out and wild camp!
I read on Instagram that this is your first ever video... I hope it will be the first of many to come, as I enjoyed following and listening to your talk about why you decided to get out there. Good on you, for making the video and the wild camp. All the best.
I love the freshness of this video thanks for posting. Well done for spurring yourself on in the wet wilds of Snowdonia. Great music btw will put Bon Iver on now.
I absolutely loved watching this! The music is everything, but your filming style, commentary and text captions really complemented each other perfectly. Awesome job. New subscriber here 😊
Just found your channel, thank you for filming your adventures. My soon to be seven year old daughter loves watching you go about your hikes. At first she thought you were FaceTime ing and wanted to know if you could see her. That's a great testament to your personality and style of filming. Cheers
Loved watching this from all the way in Singapore, beautiful scenery, great shots + music and love how genuine and real you are in your videos! Thanks Athena!
I'm a fan. Loved the sweet tone to this video. I will be out there soon as after spending a lot of military time there it's my favourite place to hike/camp in the UK.
Great video, amazing views. Solo camping is the best. I too have moments in my tent with not much to do so I usually pack a puzzle book. Take care and enjoy the wilderness, Jodie.
Enjoyed that - good work! Like the ending too, it's hard work doing all the filming and can distract from being in the moment, but also provides additional purpose.
Very nice vid. Well done as weather was not the best I love Wales and blessed to live here. Hoping to do a wild camp a month this year and your vid has given me a boost Thank you :)
Great video really captures the beauty and tranquility of the mountains. Reminds me of when I did the Welsh 3000s challenge a few years back. Well done on another excellent video.
I’ve been wanting to do this for a while, so searched TH-cam for wild camping wales & yours was the 1st result, it’s was so good to watch & made me laugh too, I can’t wait to give this a go, thanks for sharing your great little hiking/camping adventure
This totally looks like me travelling solo on Isle of Skye, the only difference was that I was staying overnight in a hostel. The next destination was supposed to be either Lake District, Snowdonia or southern Sweden with my tent. But then the problems with my joints in legs started and I can't do that anymore 😥 Sill it was the best vacation in my life...
Eva, Don'tstop!!! My knee pre- op is next week (1st Knee) , then op within 4 wks , then 6 wks weeks recovery1!!!. After that i'm going up again - (did 5 miles last w'ks hike, 3 miles this.... (much Slower!!!!!!)( I' m only 73 ) Take the pain !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it's worse going down!!!!!!!!!!!!
loved this .. would recommend wild camp on your own .It gives you some great moments . i do it for a week every year but i cheat i have german shepherd keep me company. Scottish highlands here i come again in May.
It's such a nice feeling when TH-cams algorithm finds you a video that you will never think of searching. Simply this vid makes me happy, Sub and followed :)
I'm a new follower. I thoroughly enjoyed the honest approach to your storytelling. I am getting notifications, so I look forward to your future posts. Thanks for taking us along. Best regards from Vancouver Island, Canada.
This was so uplifting and pleasant!! Thank you for sharing your reasons why too... true candidness is the ultimate joy. I too would be freaked out by that book + duck the camera if I saw someone else, LOL! You're inspiring to get back out there! Much appreciated from the northeast U.S. 😊🙏
Wow, what a great video! Love walking on my own, not got as far as wild camping yet (don’t have the kit to fit in one bag) but this looked like a great trip!
Love this video!!! This is such an inspirational video for everyone who wants to be out and about in nature. I love nothing but travelling either it is canals, forest, walk up Snowdon or wherever Ryanair can take me on budget :) but would love to do solo camping like you.
Helloooo lovely!!! I found your video because I'm just back from vlogging wales and trying the local food. The peace in this video is amazing. You're incredible! Fingers crossed my vlogs turn out this gorgeous. Subscribed xx
IPAALES 1974 That’s absolutely encouraging! You can go a step further and say “You are never truly lost! Only lost in your head or have lost your wits. You are somewhere (in the west of Wales, Flintshire...), you just have to find your exact location! “ So stay calm and try to “find yourself” in a logical and structured way!
Just found your channel.🙂 I’m where you were at in this video. I’ve been wanting to hike and possibly wild camp buuut I’m the world’s best/biggest procrastinator. After watching this, I’ve made up my mind that I am definitely going this week!! Thank You for motivating me!💜
Oh god, this invokes such a feeling of nostalgia. I miss the s and nature, I'm more determined than ever now to do the Pennine Way again. Thank you, as you say the perfect antidote to modern day existence, note I say existence mot LIVING.
Really enjoyable video. Nice chilled out folk music. Haven’t been walking in ages. Looking forward to taking my littleun to the mountains when she’s old enough.
Oh that was brilliant Athena. The joy was written all over you. No better (temporary) cure for restlessness than to head off out without a care.. Trouble is the restlessness will never go and sometimes grow because of the good times we have out in the sticks. But hey, just keep combating it with wildcamping and start wracking up the miles ! Thumbs firmly up. Luke
Lovely video. Was thinking about doing some wild camping in Wales. You’ve given me another option of where. Beautiful landscape. Keep up the good work. Richard.
Can't beat lone wild camping ,it's one of the best ways to find yourself, I was out that way last week on the bike and did a night by the lake in beddgelert/ nant gwynant then over to lake vyrnwy , I was lucky to have a couple of dry nights ..cold but dry .. you've got to have a camp fire though so I challenge you to get out and do it again proper and cook some food on a camp fire haha great video and a thumbs up.
What a lovely girl, what a fabulous video. Thanks for posting! (Ps . I recognised the rail crossing and much of Moel Hebog, lovely views of the coast , facing West from the summit )
Athena, you are so incredible, and Harvey is INCREDIBLE. You are the best people that exist on TH-cam. You have reignited my love of Social Media. You are the most amazing people, you give us all so much hope, good people like you will always get all my time. Love you so much! :)
@Cowardly Custard The werewolves can be a concern at times, but with there being sheep a plenty in Wales, they tend to leave you alone. It's the Goblins you need to watch out for.
Great video, good on you for getting out and doing it. It would be great if more people got outside exploring instead of sitting on their bums in front of a screen, as you said being stuck in a rut is no good. I hope you do some more wild camps and film them it was enjoyable looking at your countryside as it’s a bit wetter and cooler than mine. I find the way you have all these great walking trails all over England very interesting. Cheers from Australia
Love seeing more women sharing their passion and knowledge of the mountains ❤️
Can't quite put my finger on it, but this video has such a nice feeling about it. The music, the positive attitude, the scenery, it all worked really well! Nice one 🤙
I was watching mountain biking videos , no idea how i ended up watching it but i've subscribed
Thanks so much 😊😊
@@matthewmorris3862 Me too :-)
Great vid, so sub is cool with me.
@conny wilmering BA. danke conny. Sehr cool
You can't beat this.
Beats Costa del Brum anyday mate
Beautifully shot Athena. Big respect for going out alone in weather like that... and nothing but a big smile on your face the whole time! Love it.
I feel the same as though I'm going to explode inside, restless wanting to be out in nature, missing that feeling of the challenge, the cool air and the wind rain the magic of the sunlight dancing through the trees and on the water, I find the only true medicine is to go and do, its like a drug you can never get enough of, and I'm always planning my next adventure.
Exactly! I'm also always planning the next adventure... I can't focus if I'm not.
Well said 👍
Couldnt agree more mate

yer I hear you.food for the soul.I head in 7 weeks bolivia desert circumnavigate same solo on foot
ahhh makes me excited for the days when i can go on adventures freely, camping anywhere. this video is so lovely :-)
Same, I’m 15 and can’t do anything by myself unless I’m with friends but none of my friends like this kind of stuff :(
I am so happy that TH-cam recommended me this video! Love the vibe 🤙🏻☺️
Loved this video! It's definitely inspired me to get back out into nature. I only live a few miles from Snowdonia, and you're right, it's easy to make excuses.

*ROSY CHEEK Alert!!!* 0:39
I like the way you hike! Inspires me to do it myself 😊 solo hiking always looks so free and fun!
Love this! Just finished a wild camp in Latvia.. funnily enough I've only ever wild camped the UK once, more done abroad.. Wales looks unreal though!
I read on Instagram that this is your first ever video... I hope it will be the first of many to come, as I enjoyed following and listening to your talk about why you decided to get out there. Good on you, for making the video and the wild camp. All the best.
Thank you! That's so kind. I'm hoping to make some more definitely!
Brilliant video, thanks for sharing - I'm about to embark on my first wild camp I found it very inspirational and now can't wait..
What an absolute pleasure to watch! Thank you.

Lovely walk through the countryside and I really enjoyed both, your advice and thoughts as you walked. More of this would be very nice. Cheers
Great video! That landscape is just incredible.
Perfect views and music to go alongside! Wow!
Loved watching this from all the way in Singapore, beautiful scenery, great shots + music and love how genuine and real you are in your videos! Thanks Athena!
Thank you Athena, really enjoyed that. Well done for finding a hike with hot chocolate stops, vital in that weather!
I'm a fan. Loved the sweet tone to this video. I will be out there soon as after spending a lot of military time there it's my favourite place to hike/camp in the UK.

Such a nicely put together little film, thank you for sharing it with us. Loved the soundtrack.
Nature and camping are my way of destressing ! Love a bit of wild camping
Can I come next time 😁

Really enjoying your videos, quality stuff. And what a spot, that morning mist was awesome
Thanks for bringing us on your hike!
Yes! Definitely something i feel identified with❤
Your videos make me want to go hiking! Great music choices too. Thanks from Canada!
Love this 💕💕
Well done and hope to see more vids.
One of the best videos I have seen on TH-cam. Keep it up, it looks great! 👍🏼🏔
Love winter walks, love rainy days, love bare trees and forest floors. Enjoyed this video very much.
Incredible video! Great storytelling skills.
It's such a nice feeling when TH-cams algorithm finds you a video that you will never think of searching.

Wow! This is amazing! I'm so impressed you are solo wild camping! Far braver than me. Loved the video ☺️
Wonderful video! Now on to the record player and the Blood Bank EP
Amazing landscape, thanks for the inspiration
Loved this. A lot. Planning my own first wild camp soon. I'm scared, but excited. :)

Glenn Meechan sounds amazing 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Respect to you , live life and experience it all ✌🏼
Charming video, nice vibe with your camping trips. Really chill to watch.

My god that light on the mountain top is stunning. Great vids by the way , just discovered your page :)
Helloooo lovely!!! I found your video because I'm just back from vlogging wales and trying the local
food. The peace in this video is amazing. You're incredible! Fingers crossed my vlogs turn out this gorgeous. Subscribed xx
You're only lost if someone else has to help/find you. Otherwise, you're just momentarily confused. ;-)

i always say. sometimes, u have to lose yourself to find yourself . c;
usually in snowdonia c:
Lovely said
But
I wish remembering that quote when stuck...
Temporarily disorientated.
Really cool stuff! We are off to Brecon this weekend for 3 nights of snow wild camping, can’t wait! Hope you have more adventures planned. 😊
Great film,calming and inspiring.love it
I enjoyed the realism of going back to get your camera. I enjoyed Wales when I lived in the UK, it was nice to see it in your video. Thank you!
Some awesome cinematography, great music and a beautiful girl 😊
I’ve just found your channel, absolutely wonderful. I’m in Australia. I’ve subscribed.
I’m moving to wales soon and this is exactly how I plan on spending days when I can, epic 👍🏼💪🏼🏴
Welcome Mark Green, hope you love it👍
Thanks mate 🏴🏴❤️👍🏼
Enjoy.... Wales is beautiful and the people warm and welcoming.
All the best I hope you enjoy wales I love visiting this amazing country and people are so friendly
Beautifully filmed video - cosy Cafe seems perfect after a wild camp. Thank you for making inspirational videos 🙂
Just found your channel.🙂

Really enjoyed this video. It’s not easy work filming whilst on an adventure. I appreciate the effort. Hope to see more
I'll try to keep doing more definitely :)
What a fantastic video and those songs are amazing WOW 😮
Great vid, great location, any walk that takes you passes Cafe Gwynant has gotta be a great walk, awesome that you did it alone.
Oh god, this invokes such a feeling of nostalgia. I miss the s and nature, I'm more determined than ever now to do the Pennine Way again. Thank you, as you say the perfect antidote to modern day existence, note I say existence mot LIVING.
Good stuff 👍 you got some great footage of the last rays of sunshine and the setting sun on the hill side. Can't beat a quick overnighter 🙂
Really enjoyable video. Nice chilled out folk music. Haven’t been walking in ages. Looking forward to taking my littleun to the mountains when she’s old enough.
Gorgeous video. Great adventure. Often find little gems when I’m lost. Boring when it all goes to plan haha. Thanks Athena 😊
How did I JUST find your channel. Love your videos, keep it up!
A relaxing video I might have to go camp there myself looks nice!
Had a few "interesting " wild camps in Wales usually down to my own laziness to find a decent site. Good work Karl!
Really enjoyed that. A great, honest video.

Great vid and loved the encouragement to get out 👌
The most honest take on wild camping I've watched
hello,
it was a really enjoyable video with very good editing. stunning views and just enough commentary.
Enjoyed that. Nice touch time lapsing putting the tent up. I was up Moel Hebog a couple of weeks ago, great views. Subbed you. 👍
