Reminds me of a day canyoning in Annecy, French Alps. Took a full day of abseiling, swimming, walking & jumping to get from 1600m to Lake Annecy. Some of the jumps were over 10m, into pools of freezing water! Looks like a nice day in Beacons!
Nice one, this is an absolutely gorgeous part of God's Country! I first did this walk back in Easter '88. Have done it quite a few times over the years as I don't live too far away. Plenty of places to park for free, if you know the area lol. Sgwd yr Eira waterfall is awesome to walk behind. Not sure if you know, but it was the drovers driving their cattle and sheep to market centuries ago, that first walked behind the waterfall
@@gonehiking9297 you must go up Pen Y Fan then, the highest mountain in the southern half of the UK. It's free to park your car there at the moment but the greedy council are going to start charging £7.50 from next year :(
There’s a BBC Wales series called Weatherman Walking, Derick Brockway, is the Weatherman on BBC Wales, he did this walk a while ago, in this one he spoke to a woman in her 80’s she used to walk Sgwrd y Eira to get to school, in all weathers and seasons
Absolutely beautiful, stunning !!
Thanks stunning...
Great to see your video, thanks for letting us see them. Crazy people swimming the rapids but good to see
Ta dude

Sounds amazing. A pretty sedate hike by comparison!
