- Back in the summer of 2019 me, my dad and my brother David (Voices of the Past) climbed up a mountain we've been climbing for many years and one very close to our hearts. I made this video nearly two years ago but thought I'd throw it out there now. Cheers! Many more adventures on the way.

Back in the summer of 2019 me, my dad and my brother David (Voices of the Past) climbed up a mountain we've been climbing for many years and one very close to our hearts. I made this video nearly two years ago but thought I'd throw it out there now. Cheers! Many more adventures on the way.
I only have one question, why shorts? That seems unnecessarily masochistic.
@@iamperplexed4695 with calves like theirs, it would be a crime to NOT wear shorts
"Summer"..
"...quite a philosophical metaphor there Dave."
Great vid. thank you. IMO it should be “ my dad, my brother, David, and I ...”. Just sayin’
If that was summer, winter must be miserable up there.
For real.
I can see why they named it a holy site. Thanks for letting us tag along! From Tennessee USA🤗🐝❤️
I really enjoy this channel. it’s like family vacation video compilations by history nerds... long suffering dad, lots of juvenile antics, and lots of science. it’s very entertaining and educational.
"Idris, usually taken as the name of a giant..."
Idris Elba: Correct.
Cadair Idris, is a basically Giant Chair in welsh.
Your dad is awesome and very funny. You wanting him to give thoughts and wisdom, him this is a good bar 😂. Love the videos and will be always looking for more in the future.
I'm fascinated by Wales, although I live in Australia, as three generations on my Dad's side (mining engineers apparently) lived there - still calling themselves "English" of course! - and married Welsh women, and my eldest half-brother Michael learned Welsh, flew the Welsh flag and joined that separatist party you mentioned. So I'd love to hear some more early Welsh legends.
Cool videos my friend, I have been to many places in the U.K including Barmouth, your history and culture is my favorite.
I agree
Welsh legend says that if you spend a night on Cader Idris, you come back either with the wisdom of the great bards (story tellers) or you come back raving mad.
You should sell History Thyme in your channel store
Anyone been up The Shute? Instead of the Minfordd path, follow the path to the right of Llyn Cau and follow the Shute straight up, a scramble at the top but brings you out onto the Minfordd path just before the final rocky ascent, so much fun.
It can give hikers a real shock when they see your head pop up over the edge.
Then off down the Fox’s path, 2 hours as a run from start to finish. Go as the sun sets in the summer and you could have the place to yourself. You won’t go mad or come down a poet, just a happy adventurer.
I’ve climbed this mountain twice and I never knew it had such history, thanks for this video
I legit thought you were with Rob Brydon there for a second...
Hiked up Snowden many years ago. Such a beautiful country. Definitely need to go back again!
You need a sock for your microphone. Beautiful place. Too windy for me!
Brave in those shorts fella, great place, great vid!
I think Cadair Idris is my favourite Welsh mountain. Snowdon is too touristy and coming from Brixham & Paignton in Devon I try and stay away from grockles as much as possible, even when I am one!
I stayed once in a gorgeous B&B by Dolgoch Falls (Thanks Mr & Mrs Jones!) and that's when I first discovered this bit of Wales.
Pretty much the whole stretch of the B4405 is absolutely gorgeous!
Including Blaenau Ffestiniog for it's industrial archeology and from Tywyn to Llyn Tegid, stunning!
And, of course, the best little trains in Wales, the Talyllyn Railway!
Go off season just a tad, I think Wales is a lot like Dartmoor (the wild and woolly area I grew up with) in that Autumn weather suits it better than high summer. Plus, there's way fewer grockles! 😆 4:51
Pete, what the hell all of you were thinking when you have decided to go on the mountain dressed like that?
Please either Bamburgh, re "Utred of Bambaburgh" or Kent? Thank you, love your videos. from Australia
I live in Colorado so those mnt altitudes are hilarious to me
But it's not about altitudes, it's about history.
You're cheating. I myself live @ 4,000 ft.and I forget that until I descend to sea level and I feel like I'm mildly drowning.
Well I live in Argentina soo tour peaks are weedy to me.
top class production
I have a brother like yours, dear friend. My brother is 65, a drunk, and talks about his bench pressing.
The intro is like climbing any hill in wales 😂
Next visit.
Cornwall without hesitation.
Going next week!
@@PeteKellyHistory,
You live in a spectacular corner of the world.
If you record your Cornish visit, I'll be sure to watch.
Been up quite a few times in my teens twenties thirties and forties and probably my favourite mountain in Wales. Spent the night on and swim in one of the lakes in July and it was absolutely freezing.
That wee bothy is pretty cool
Dude this was awesome. I know i always talk about the soundtrack but i can't help that it kicks ass lol. I really liked the stories along the way in the car and up and down the mountain. I'd live to see more historic places in Wales 😊
It’s amazing music. Agreed
This is brilliant 😃👍 cheers for that guys 🐝🌼
Thank you for showing me my ancient Homeland
Looked like a lovely day to climb a mountain. ;)
What an amazing video, my friend! Nice mountain hiking! The nature is amazing.. Enjoyed watching. Cheers from Russia Pete, and welcome to my channel about bushcraft and adventures! Kind regards, Yuriy!
aw did you ever go up the roots and rocks steps alongside the waterfall... once you reach the kissing gate... and cross over the rushing water, you go into some incredible woods on the other side... which is where I spent several nights when I lived in Wales many moons ago..... it's my power place.... it is alive., is all I can say... totally alive.
Hmm maybe that sheepdog is the mythical giant. Taking just another form to watch you as you pass into his realm.
Why so few views this is a gem of a video
In the US I live right next to a mountain known as Sleeping Giant. Great content bro.
Thank you so much for taking us along with your family.
Question.
You and your brother have strikingly different regional accents. Please, explain.
Easy, they grew up in different parts of the house. 😆
I think your dad did a good job
In norse legends thye had Ice Giants which I wonder if they weren't Glaciers? Now in the case of UK legends I wonder too if they weren't refering to glaciers. Memmories from far back in paleolithic Europe? Any thoughts?
It is possible, which would make the fire giants volcanoes. But far likelier is that they thought glaciers and volcanoes were gateways to the land of the frost and fire giants.
There is no Saga I read that say anything about it at least and I haven't heard the theory before but it is certainly possible even if I think it is likelier they thought they were homes of the giants and not the giants themselves.
Glaciers honestly isn't that common in the viking home lands anyways, they certainly had a lot in in Greenland and Iceland but Denmark's highest mountain is a tiny hill, Sweden and Norway have some but the Swedish ones are a bit higher up then where the vikings actually lived (in Sami territory) and that basically leaves Norway.
People outside Scandinavia tends to think we have polar bears walking around but most of Scandinavia have a similar climate to Scotland (with less rain) and while vikings were tough they mainly lived along the coasts and in the south. I live in Kalmar (Sweden), we had like 3 weeks of snow last year and not very deep at that.
As for memories from the past, that is hard to say. Norse religion is kinda a mix between different religions and local folklore.
We aren't exactly sure when it showed up either. We know that certain Gods and Goddesses are far older then others.
Thor, Tyr and Ull for instance are often seen in older petroglyphs, at least from 500 BC, maybe up to 1500 BC (dating stone carvings is hard), there is even one depicting Tyr binding the Fenris wolf in almost comic style. Freya probably comes from the Danish goddess "Njärd" who was popular around 2000 years ago. Odin seems to have been a bit later, likely from Siberia and one of his kennings is "Göten" which makes it likely he was first worshiped in Southern Sweden but he seems to have been in place at least in the 5th century AD.
There are speculations that Thor first came to Scandinavia around 2500 BC with the steppe people who immigrated, they were rather fond of a kind of throwing hammer but there is no solid evidence to back that up. Ull seems to have originally been the bronze age sun God (basically the Norse Apollo) but he lost the sun title and only kept being the God of hunt by the time of the vikings (Sun beams were often linked with arrows and arrows with hunt).
Other Gods are a mystery, like Loki. We do know there was a huge fire ritual around 300 AD in Halmstad, Sweden, with 300 bonfires lit at the same time and since Loki is supposed to be a fire God it is possible it could have been for him, but it could have been something else too. We have no actual evidence anyone worshiped Loki at all and neither do we know how old he is.
Fenris is supposed to be his kid and we have that petroglyph of Fenris (Tyr sticks his hand in his mouth and he is chained in the last picture while Tyr lacks one hand so I would claim that is pretty conclusive.
So yeah, we know very little about Norse religion besides what the Sagas tell us and some limited rune inscriptions. Before the 3th century there are no writings at all from the region giving us just vague hints from people's beliefs.
Can you visit Arthur's howe? please.
Cymry, will rise again. :)
pete if you ever get the chance, come to derry city, ireland, an i will walk you through the stone age to ww2, with so many interesting facks, places an artifacts around inishowen. it would make a great video, like only you can do. an kellys are from ireland.
Read the series “The Dark is Rising” by Susan Cooper if you like Welsh and other Celtic legends. It’s a magical series, and she uses the old stories really well throughout.
The 4th book in the series of 5 is called “The Grey King” and is set in Gwynedd and particularly around Cader Idris. Brilliant. Read the whole series in order though. The books are about Cornish legends too, and some English history. Lots of stuff about Owain Glyndŵr, the Drowned Hundred in Cardigan Bay (Wales), King Arthur and that sort of timeframe.
Excellent views. Relentless wind and mist. Upper torso clad in winter gear. Legs and waist wrapped in...shorts. well if that's standard kit why abandon the girl that brought you to the dance?
He went up a hill, but came down a mountain.
Were you followed by the Grey Man?
I know that's a different mountain.
Shorts! Everybody to their own.
The mind boggles. Why shorts ?
👍👍👍
Owain Glyndwr not Owen Glendower;)
Owaiiiin Glynnndwwwrr :)
Give him a break. Not his fault he is English.
If I walk you my backdoor i can see Cadair
i love seeing you Kelly boys adventuring! !:-) 👍 🙏 💜 🖖
Can neither of you brothers drive?
Yay, Cymru!
Looks like a nice family trip.
Also, my like was apparently the 69th. Nice.
HEY THE HARDEST PART IS THEFIRST PART ABOUT 400FEET ?
My only gripe is that Cadair Idris is definitely not one of the highest mountains in Britain , over 250 peaks in Scotland are bigger than this. Sorry I’m a pedant but let’s be honest
It's Wales, it gets a free pass. And I'm welsh, so I'm biased. :D
Visby
Do you speak Welsh fluently?
No he doesn’t
Dude did you not give dad gas money?
Why are you all wearing shorts?!?!?!?
Thought he was that geezer,Rob Brydon. Sorry mate.
Harold was not English. He was a "Dane".
@@jamespoynor9511 Ha ha so funny I coughed. Must be a little phlegmish, I guess
Looks like a good place to twist an ankle 😜
Interesting truly, idris in arabic is enoch in the bible.

“Invading Irishmen” yes let’s cut the BS the welsh were invaded by the Irish almost as much as the English. Yet Irish always try to take the moral high ground , they need to read some history.
