- First ever summit Wildcamp in the Hilleberg Enan on Cadair Idris and we were spoilt. A cloud inversion on the way up with an amazing sunset and sunrise. My legs felt like they were on fire on the way up, really tough. (Well I found it tough anyway...lol). Because of this I didn't manage to film as much as i would have liked on the way to the top. I did get some amazing night shots at the summit though. Many thanks to everyone who has followed me so far to this point and really hoping to get out more in 2022.
Also a huge thanks to my work colleague Simon, who helped me on the last bit to the top when both my legs failed me like the old man i am..lol
For information i took the Minnford path route from Dol Idris car park. The car park charges are £6 and they now have a card machine on site.

That sunrise was so worth the climb mate, waking up there and having that golden hour for the drone is unbelievable! 👏👏👏
Yeh the morning was stunning, but the cloud inversion made it for me. First time I've ever seen one. Awesome 👌
Those stills at the very end were amazing, very talented with the 📸
Thank you mate 👍
Beautiful scenery, and wild camp. Nice trip. You have a wonderful day.
Many thanks for your positivity, ATB Paul
Beautiful wide open views! Great photos! Cool to see the cloud inversion and the sunset and sunrise too. Sending a big hello from Washington State, nice to meet you! 😄 🥾🥾
Many thanks, thank you for your positive comments 🙏. Big hello to you too ATB Paul
Brilliant that, Paul👍 Absolutely amazing views! Great to see a new vid from you! ATB👍
Aww thank you Des, was great to finally get back out. Although my legs are feeling it now 😂😂😂 Atb Paul 👍
Beautiful location for a camp, great views from the mountain. All the best for 2022, hope you get more camps in this year xx
Thank you Rachel 😊 same to you too, have a great 2022
Stunning footage up at the top mate, it really is beautiful and worthy of the slog
If I hadn't felt so shattered I'd have got my drone out over the inversion. But, yeh it's a stunning place. 👍
Great to see you back out mate! Cadair Idris is one of the tougher ones tbf so you've done bloody well getting up there after a break 🤣
Look forward to the next one 🙂
Thanks mate, I struggled all the way past the lake. Just wish I'd been able to film more of the cloud inversion. Hey ho, thanks for watching and your comment. Really appreciated, all the best Paul 👍
That was superb, what amazing conditions, fair play to you in getting that gear all the way up there including a drone...top man.
Cheers Gord. Might be the only time I do...bloody killed me 😂😂
Jelly babies the camping staple needed on every trip lol
Absolutely 😂😂
wicked vid P, cadair is an amazing place, my first wild camp was around the lake and lugging at the gear up is very hard work lol, love the hat, i hadnt noticed it but megs pointed it out, im still chasing my first cloud inversion, looks like you were spoilt and you managed to get the drone up. keep up the good work cant wait for your next adventure
Thank you. That was my first cloud inversion, amazing. Worth the hard work. ATB, Paul 👍
What a great camp and well done, a successful trip.
Perfect conditions.
Merry Christmas 👍🍺🎄
Thank you Dave, yeah was pretty awesome to be fair. Merry Christmas to u too. ATB Paul 👍
Paul absolutely stunning photography. I can very much identify and have empathy. I usually carry a large backpack to and in my case too much personal timber 😐. I always seem to choose a big climb after a brief break lol and am usually bringing up the rear from my mountain goat mates. But... you was there... you did it... the outcome was fantastic. Total respect and this vid for me is now my favourite one of yours. 👍🏼
Really appreciate that mate, it seems like we have similar friends 😂😂 I'm still struggling to walk 3 days after 😂. Sometimes you can't put on film how amazing something is, and to experience all that in one day and night was just immense. Thank you so much for your comment, appreciated ATB Paul 👍
We dumped out packs by the lake, walked up to the summit and then dropped back down and camped at the lake.. I would love to do a summit camp at some point 🍻
Yeh I remember watching it, wasn't you with twin peaks and dai? It was hard work, but worth it. Maybe a 2 day trip is best. Camp at the lake and then next day get to summit?
@@thatunfitbloke yes mate I was with the Welsh legends, I think a two day trip would be good.. first night at the lake, second on the summit and then stumble back down the next day with shaky legs 🤣
@@BulldogBadger I was with the legend! Mr bulldog Badger ohh yeeaahh! That was my first camp of 2021 and can honestly say it was the best of 2021
Tell a lie! 3rd camp lol
Some cracking views and footage matey has to be my favourite mountain 🏔 good effort pays off ATB Trev 👍
Thank you Trev, yeh mine too. Awesome views ATB Paul
Wow that was epic, what a perfect weekend for weather.it is a strenuous mountain to climb, but we'll done to you doing it with 16 kilo on your back. You can't go wrong with decathlon, was looking at that pack myself but decided I didn't need another one lol. You captured some amazing shots up there and you are an amazing pilot. You moved that drone so beautifully, the golden colours was immense. Just wow. Cracking video and adventure. Thanks for sharing this beautiful content. Catch you soon. Atb dai
Thanks so much for you positive comments Dai. Have a wonderful Christmas, ATB Paul 👍
That was quite stunning tbh. You went through your own pain barrier (WIMP). 😂. The DLSR Stills and the Drone Footage were better than Cracking, they were top notch Mukka. Onwards and upwards and I do remember when you had about 150 Subs. Hope you had a great Christmas and can burn off the additional kilos gained after New Year. Thumbs Up from me, but I expect one back on my video too. 😉👍😜😎
You always get a thumbs up mate. 👍 ATB Merry Christmas
absolutely stunning views, well done for getting up there!! any tips on where to park overnight, heading there in the very near future ?
Thanks for watching, I always park in Dol idris car park and just pay for a 24hr ticket. About £6 I think. Never had an issues. That takes you straight up the Minffordd path. ATB Paul 👍
Aces, thanks bud
That hat didn’t last long 👏🤣
Lasted about 10 steps 😂😂
@@thatunfitbloke haha I had my coat off after those first few flights 🤣

Few weeks ago I bought a Decathalon backpack 70l lime green colour for 89.99. At 2.2 kg I found it the right balance of sapport for weight. Decathalon had a more attachement point and loop with heavier materials in a deep red but it was 2.8 kg which was too much for me to carry. Of all my gear (clothing, boots tents) puchasing I felt this was the hardest piece of gear for me to fit. I went to three stores and at each I loaded up the pack with my own walking stuff and just walked around in store viewing other gear forming my own longterm feeling of the fit. I found it took me a few visits to each store, loading up and moving about, before I knew. Also found that I felt internal pressure to buy an Osprey because of the company's dominance. I was considering the great/nylon/1.8 kg 68l Osprey kestrel but I believed it was a much smaller volume than stated - say 60l - and almost twice the price of the Decathalon. I needed the 70l and with the money saving was happy to buy a polyester pack. So I can well understand you being forced to buy another pack despite carefully choosing your first. Good camping.
Cool name for a channel 🤣🤣👍🏻 🔔
Cheers dude 👍
Where did you park the car..want to do cadair but worried about car ??
Hi there, I parked at Dol Idris Car park. LL36 9AJ. It is chargeable, £8. I've parked there loads and never had a problem. Hope this helps. ATB Paul
@@thatunfitbloke brilliant..thank you for your help.
No worries 👍
@@thatunfitbloke sorry to bother you again..how long does it take to climb to the lake at cadair idris from the car park..just so I can work out what time to arrive etc.
Just to the lake around 1.5hrs, depending on fitness. About 3hrs to the summit.
