Brave Dave's Guide To Bryant's Gully
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 ต.ค. 2021
- Bryant's Gully is my favourite scramble by far, due to how big it is (over 500 meters of scrambling ascent) and how varied the sections are. I've already uploaded a few videos of it (including the first time I ever went up) but I thought I'd add this one too, because it shows it in more detail.
Bryant's Gully is a grade 2+ and you definitely shouldn't go up it unless you're a confident scrambler. There are lots of steep, slippery rocks and plenty of loose undergrowth, as well as a constant stream of water. Escape routes are minimal and can be almost as awkward to climb as the gully itself. There is zero phone reception in Bryant's Gully and it hardly ever has other people in it, so if you were to slip and break something then you'd find yourself in a whole world of trouble.
By the way, this video is from August but I have only just uploaded it because I'd already added a couple of Bryant's Gully videos back then and thought that a third one would just be too much. So now you know.
Happy to see a new video since the train hopping days!
Dave's been posting a lot lately, mate. You may need to go on a binge!
ABSOLUTELY 💯% LOVE YOU & ALL THAT YOU Provide us all,
in the form of knowledge, joy, humour, entertainment, courage and so on and so forth...
👌🏿 ☮️ 🌄 🙂 🧗🏼 🧗🏽♂️
Keep up with all that content creation and stay safe Brave Dave!
Love you long time 💕⌚
Glad you're still at it Dave!
Thanks Jet! It's few and far between but I'm always grateful to get out and do something like this :)
@@BraveDave Haha well I'm glad you shared your experience with us! 😁
What a day that was for you!!
great content once again :D ur my favorite youtuber
Fantastic stuff once again Dave. I'm doing Crib Goch this Saturday. Stay safe.
Have a good scramble, Roksan! The weather looks like it should be okay :)
@@BraveDave Thanks. Yes as long as not wet or high winds we're doing it.
It feels nostalgic when you go back to bryants gully lol
Haha, it feels nostalgic every time I go up or down it too! Remembering the first time when I didn't know what to expect at all! Now I know it like the back of my hand :P
Tell you what pal just been looking at some of the other messages the train hopping requests must do your tits in abit 🤣🤣🤣
@@jimmycahill1347 Believe me, after 5+ years I'm very, very used to it. If one of my videos doesn't have 80% of its comments asking about freight hopping then is it really a Brave Dave video?? :P
Haha fair comment 😂
@@BraveDave youtube wants you to be on an a freight train forever, sorry mate
Cool video. Didn't see any trains though!? Haha! Just kidding brother!!! I appreciate all your content man.
everyone wants train hopping in this comment section haha .
personally i dont care what you do its all interesting to me
Are you doing the strat with the boot laces where you wrap them around your ankle/leg and then tie them together? Makes the tie less long and in the way and also makes the whole thing hold better
(Idk how to describe it, but don't wrap then around the bare leg of course still on the boot like you're tightening the hole of the boot around your leg kinda if that makes sense)
I've never heard of tying boot laces around the leg! Is that supposed to help? Seems like it would just dig in. My boots don't have ankle support so there's nothing to tie the laces around except my actual skin.
@@BraveDave
If I have too-long laces on my shoes, I stuff them under the criss-crossings. Works like magic when mountain biking.
Hello Dave, going to box this one off soon. Would you say it’s one of your favourites given you’ve been a handful of times? The draw for me is it is such a sustained scramble …
Not sure if you’ve done Y Gully and Notch Arête (linked scramble pretty much) on the west side of Tryfan? Quality grade 2 if you’ve not done it mate. 👍🏻
Great content Dave also what do you think about freight hopping in the eu?
@@nathankassab8974 meh doesn't really hurt to ask
Great content again, how many more years till you can go train hopping in North America again? :( maybe do a European freight hop?
Ya Dave. Go hop on a train .Make a few bucks.
The north Americans want to see his butt in a 6x6 cell.
Will
He always gets his upset when you ask him about freight hopping 😂
@@jamess1787 Not true James. Europe has a lot of tracks.Brave Dave made train hopping exciting.
@@pdkrace there was an arrest warrant for him a few years back in Canada for one of his freight hopping endeavours. Not sure about USA, but Canada for sure.
How do you do the transport aspect Dave? that always puts me off as the logistics seem tricky unless you do the 2-car thing (not much if you scramble solo...)
How do you mean, Danny? The route I did on this day was circular. Started and finished in Llanberis Pass :)
@@BraveDave Ah OK - the descent is a bit brutal back down into the pass no?
@@TG-pd3ft the descent to the pass is a pleasure after that 🤣🤣
I remember Bryant's Gully, aye. You climbed it during a heatwave and even lost a tea towel, I think? I do remember for a fact that you pointed out that dry grass is like ice - bloody slippery and even more treacherous.
Yeah, that was the first time I ever went up it. I've been up and down the Gully a load of times since then and know it pretty well :) It would still be easy to make a mistake though!
Could you do and show 3 grade scrambling in Snowdonia. Up to the elephant?
I have three grade 3 scramble videos on my channel so far! I'll hopefully add several more over time :)
What century do you recon you’ll go widescreen?! 🤣 Keep up the good work!
Never!! Wise screen doesn't make things wider, it simply cuts off the top and bottom of the image. The precious, precious image!!
The finest elevator music hahaha
Haha. You know it ;)
Looks more dangerous than hiding from a sheriff on top of a chuff chuff 👍
You ever doing train-hopping again?
not till 2027
@@MothNeo
10 year usa ban?
He can do Europe though
This hiking has nothing on his freight adventure
@@coasteyscoasteys4150 10 year north america ban, also he said hes not interested in freight hopping in europe
@@MothNeo That's really a shame. People like Shiey show that the possibilities of freight hopping in Europe are pretty much endless
We need an update on the new train hopping adventure
Ever thought about train hopping UK.
I envy your life so much Dave
You really shouldn't. There is nothing particularly great about my life. I just make the occasional video when I do something interesting :P
Which actioncam are you using?
Hero5!
@@BraveDave Awesome! Would you mind sharing your settings? I can‘t get mine quite right.
@@Sora185 1440 | 25fps | Wide :)
@@BraveDave Thank you so much 🙏
Train hop up snowdon 😅
I miss the train movie
with shoelaces this long, i'd try to wrap them once around the upper bit of the shaft, then tie a bow.
You tie your shoe laces around your shaft 😵🙄
I'd be interested in freight train hopping in Europe
Dave when are we gonna get another death defying multi-part series of you doin some train hopping ;D?
Also PS,
you are a couple of months too late with the Scrambling Extravaganza,
Being that it's October now and it's advertised to be on the 2nd of August 🤔
FYI.
This will blow your mind: All videos are of past events ;)
Lovely video mate :) would you ever do a collab with Geowizard? His straight line challenges are pretty awesome and I think you guys would click well!
Are you still alive
I think so, yes!
@@BraveDave You’re slacking on the material😂
@@markmitchell2282 Been busy!! Probably do some more stuff this summer though. Probably.
