We sleep in a remote haunted bothy!

- Nant Syddion is a remote mountain bothy situated in mid Wales. It has no electricity, no gas and no water, it's simply an off grid shelter in a remote location surrounded by the Cambrian mountains and forest.
We hiked in with everything we needed in our rucksacks, including a few beers. It's around a 1.5 mile hike in so accessible for most people.
This bothy is apparently haunted, a tragic story of 7 members of a family died, leaving only the mother to live on. Reportes say they've felt a motherly presence and there are inscriptions on a local tree in memory of the deceased, along with the name Margaret written in candle wax on the bothy wall.
Despite the other occupants we enjoyed a night in front of the fire, Jack the Labrador had acres of land to explore off lead and the weather, apart from the strong winds was perfect.
It's a real mental retreat to visit somewhere like here, it makes you appreciate what you have and what other treats are out there to explore.
This was also the perfect opportunity to try out some new kit... Fjallraven Keb 52 rucksack, sea to summit ether light xt extreme mat and Flextail tint pump x2. All performed excellently!
We cooked our breakfast sausages on the Trangia 27 spirit stove along with a coffee or two.
Bothies are maintained by the mountain bothy association and they're volunteers so, whilst this is a free of charge destination, please treat it like your own property. Leave it at least as good as you found it as they're not permanently monitored so they rely on good folk to tidy up before and after themselves, along with taking your own litter home with you.
There are 2 or 3 small parking spaces with an honesty box of £2 per day to park at Gwersylla Tymawr campsite which is the closest location to walk from.

Such a happy dog . Full of life and wanting to share your experiences .
He was in his element around that area 😁
👏you know I love a bit of Welsh countryside . Like for Dave 😉
😂😂 Dave will appreciate the like!
Fantastic ❤. I think the reason you found it hard to leave was the mother's spirit. She wanted you both there. ..Peace and tranquility also played the part.Really enjoyed your trip out. Great to see Jack enjoying his trip out too. And off lead. Brilliant 👏 Looks a fantastic place to chill and reorder the mind. Lovely 😍 well done for pleasing us all again. 😊 x
Ooooo maybe you’re right!
It certainly felt like a welcoming environment, perfect place to reset.
Thank you 🤩
👍
We have places like those in the Sierras where I live that "reset your mind" like you were saying - It is so nice that people love them and take care of them. Great video and hope to see you revisit this place again ;>)
Thank you 🙏🏼
We’re so lucky to have such an escape on a small and populated island.
And as you know, there’s no better feeling than allowing your mind to relax and unwind. Soak in the surroundings and go home as a different person 😁
I’ll definitely be back here one day, glad you enjoyed it 👍🏼
👍
Your dog is divine bro - what a sweet soul. I imagine the Bothy did it for him to. Yeah, it's a lovely spot. I've been meaning to hike there myself but for injury. Soon I hope. You did it justice I think in considering the folks who lived there and their losses. Wow, what happened to the father? That's tough. He would no doubt say it's good for resetting the mind. Well, good going. Enjoyed that. Mark
Thanks a lot mate!
It’s 100% worth the short hike after you recover 👌🏼
@@Professionalmoochers A pleasure dude. It was a good one. Ha, my hike would be long - I don't drive. I've hiked throughout the Cambrians just not here. Have a great week mate. Peace.
Dog looks as happy as fook, "Have we moved house dad".
😄😄 he has so much energy, it’s great to find somewhere he can run free and satisfy his sensory needs without bothering anyone else 😁
Ok...just came upon your channel and subbed straight away. Love the music for one, love Wales and your dog is super cute. Love the stories and so on. Good video and keep up the good work!!
Thanks so much 🙏🏼
And thanks for joining us 😁
All I can say is ,WOW !!!
Beautiful place hey? 😍
Great place, bit Royston Vasey...... "Hello Dave"! 😂
I had to google Royston vasey 😄😄
It was amazing, right up my street 😍
@@Professionalmoochers Ha ha, hope you found the Hello Dave clip! Can't beat an episode of League of Gentlemen! Hope the house wasn't Number 9 either 👻!
Looks like a lovely spot to just stop your mind and relax, apart from if you are Jack 😂 hes great bless him ❤
Unfortunately even in remote places you still get the lazy sods who dont clean up after themselves. Its a shame.
Great video although we missed Sarah 💜xx
It’s gorgeous, perfect place to relax unless, of course as you say, you’re Jack! 😁 he absolutely loved it!!
Thank you 🙏🏼
The views are amazing and what a space to try out your new kit! Looks as though Jack enjoyed himself as well.
Jack was in heaven 🤩
So we were actually, such a peaceful landscape
Amazing these places are just available to enjoy.
I know!! Other European countries have so many options like this so we brits need to make sure we look after these to ensure we keep hold of them 😍
Brilliant vlog hope you had Ur big boy pants on staying there no skid marks a hope 👻😂👍👍😎
😂😂 we had Jack to fend off any angry spirits!
The scenario looks amazing. The tranquility ideal and the free lodgings fantastic. However, I have a rule. Never stay in a house where messages are scribbled on the wall. Regardless of the message, it always looks sinister!! I'm not really a believer in the supernatural but, I will share a tale of our old house with you next week. Our house was an old timber beamed property and, following a ghostly sighting by Ruth, a paranormal investigator, who knew nothing about Ruth's experience, was invited round. However, his visit confirmed all she saw!! It's best delivered after a beer too BTW! 😆
😂😂😂 maybe wait until it’s dark too 😉
I’m the same, I don’t believe in spirits or anything else similar but, it does make you wonder sometimes 👻
Great, love a good ghost story 👻🍻
It's a two parter too, Fiona. There's a nice little twist at the end. 😬
Lovely Vlog 😊 Sad story about the family that lived there 😢 stunning spot, with great drone footage. Such a shame some people have to spoil these things by leaving rubbish 🙄 this is why these lovely things are taken away from us! Just no respect for anything, I mean it’s free - why abuse it. Makes my blood boil tbh. Anyway sorry for the rant 😂 Debs and Mark xx
Thanks a lot!
It is a shame but didn’t ruin our experience 😍
Great video really enjoyed it
Thanks mate, well worth a visit 👌🏼
Really awesome chaps….
Cheers 👍🏼
My dad's side of the family originated from Wales have always been fascinated by the English countryside Wales and Scotland
It’s absolutely gorgeous around this area, feels untouched is a rarity 👌🏼
@@Professionalmoochers that's Splendid.
Fantastic vlog 🍻🍾👌
Thanks very much 🙏🏼
Really beautiful there. Soooo was the bothy haunted or not? You didn't say?
It’s amazing! It’s real treat for the soul 😍
There’s a lot of stories suggesting it is, Jack was acting strange sometimes but, that’s nothing new 😄 but, we didn’t experience anything plus, we don’t believe there is such a thing.
I’m open to be proven wrong though so might just return.
I like the idea of the Bothy. We don't really have them in Ireland unfortunately. Its a great resource for people.
They’re amazing! If all visitors look after them.
You’ll have to plan a trip over this way 😉
Hi guys, Really enjoyed that😀iv'e stayed in that bothy before about 4 years ago it was , we thought it was quite spooky and we didn't get much sleep lol , could you tell use the location where you started the walk from to the bothy? as when we went we parked in the Arch car park near Cwmystwyth and it was a very long walk, I will be going back there in a couple of days time just to see how much its changed, ATB Mark ..
Thanks mark!
It’s an amazing location, really helps you to reset a busy mind.
We parked at a tiny campsite who have 2-3 parking spaces available with an honesty box called Gwersylla Tymawr. Have a great trip 👍🏼
@@Professionalmoochers thank you very much for your quick reply 😁👍 I will head to the place you said , thanks again.
What breed is your dog? He's lovely! I'm going to have to persuade my friend to spend the night here!
He’s a Labrador (rescue so, not 100% sure).
It’s magic! The surroundings are so healing 🤩
@@ProfessionalmoochersI wondered if he was a lab but looked too svelte :) I'll swap you for a nutty springer!
@theshoefairy he’s ex border force, who advised he was Labrador but, could easily be crossed.
I wouldn’t wish Jack’s energy on anyone 😄😄
Did you warn them it was haunted before they rocked up to meet you ? ( F.d if I would 😂) Jack looking good. More new kit👏👏🍻
No, I must’ve forgotten 😁
Been a long time since I bought new kit so treated myself 😉
Jack is absolutely ace 😂 May e he could sense the ghosts 👻
I would be with Sarah, Derren would be with you 🤣
Why people don’t take their rubbish home who knows 😥😳 They obviously carried it there…so carry it back 👍
I think Jack was playing with the kids in the evening 😮👻
It’s a shame really but it certainly didn’t spoil it for us, such a unique night away, it was ace!
Not too far from you either 😉
@@Professionalmoochers you should have called by…Jack would have loved the beach here 👍😊
We definitely have plans to return to that beach, it’s stunning!
You used to be able to park overnight there too, for a small fee 👌🏼
Un lugar precioso y una pena xq la casa es preciosa.Lo que no me ha gustado tanto es el retrete fuera de la casa pero supongo que antes lo hacían así.
It is very beautiful 😍
You’re right, the toilet was always outside years ago.
I heard, Jonah was in Whales! :)
I don’t get it 😄😄
You are quite handsome, my dear sir. Whomever partners with you is quite lucky, indeed.😊
😄😄 thanks!
That looks like a great place for a brain dump. Good for you.
It was perfect, well needed too!
It’s great to escape society sometimes 👌🏼
Jack ! No! Bless him 😊
👍👏👏👏
🙏🏼
Seems these bothys are haunted.
Apparently so but, we didn’t experience anything.
Maybe the beer numbed our senses 😁
Nice place, but it could use a good cleaning. It was very dirty. Love the dog Jack.
Thanks 😁🐶
It’s a free of charge location, which relys on previous occupants to leave it clean and is maintained by volunteers so naturally, it’s likely to look a little grubby but, the location more than makes up for it 👌🏼
Where was the haunting ? 😮😂?
In the house 😄
@@Professionalmoochers 🤔🤭
@@Professionalmoochers 😜
Haunted my foot 🦶
@@Imsaved777 😄😄 that’s what they say
Boring!
What’s boring?
how rude
