Overnighter at Nant Rhys Bothy - A 👻HAUNTED👻 Forest Shelter
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ต.ค. 2021
- We hiked through the green desert of Wales for an overnighter at haunted Nant Rhys bothy. The ghosts of the family that abandoned it in 1885 made a few creaks in the night...
I made the mistake of not downloading the route map before we set off so there was a few diversions along the way! At the start we were greeted by highland cows who were there with their calf's and the bull too. After tentatively waiting for them to pass we headed off. The bothy was in great condition but the wood situation was not so good with the area being picked clean of supplies. The bothy gave us the shelter we needed on a rough night of wind and rain. Next time we go we need to take some darts and our own wood supply for the burner.

Hi there, I stayed here a few months back and checked this with a friend who comes out here a lot. He confirmed that this was not the haunted bothy, I can't remember it's name, but the haunted bothy is nearby. My friend (a level headed science teacher) had stayed there with friends, read of its history, and found it had a creepy atmosphere. So a few weeks later he went back with his wife and kids, without telling them it's history. They were woken up in the night by the sounds of the furniture being moved around in the adjacent room. My friend got up and went to see who was making all the noise, to find that they were still the only people staying there. In addition, his young son acquired an imaginary friend whilst staying there. He offered to take me to it but I declined :-)
Hi there mate a lot of these places have a bit of a grim past I think that's why theyve stayed abandoned all these years! This one had a few members of the family die so they moved out I guess thinking it was cursed. Nant syddion bothy is the same story and might be the one you're thinking of!
So I stayed here 2 years ago and didn’t do any prior research, didn’t get a wink of sleep all night because of all the noises, someone banging on the front door intermittently and lots of noise in the next room that sounded like things moving around. This week we stayed at Nant syddion (which is a lovely building and area) literally lasted 1 hour in the building before legging it as we heard what sounded like a group of people arrive but didn’t come in, we went outside to check who was arriving and there was not a sole to be seen anywhere, and more noise around the back of the house but no person or animal in sight 😱😂 🏃♂️
Sometimes it's better not to know the history! Bothies can be an unsettling place at the best of times. A house in the middle of nowhere that anybody can come in whenever they want! It can be hard to get settled
Luibeilt lodge is the name
@@yorky9585 that's the one... total ruin now but apparently if you camp inside the ruins then stones are thrown at you
Respect for re supplying the bothy and cleaning it, nice one, old owl 🦉 Alaya
Thanks for watching 😁
That is quite the shelter. In the US our shelters are just 3 walls and the front is open. Man you are staying in luxury with all these amenities, ha ha. Another nice video Mr. Wild Wales. ~RVA~
We really do have some luxury ones here! Most of them are abandoned buildings and it's the 'mountain bothy association' that maintain them
@@MrWildWales Hey thats cool tho! Thats awesome that people maintain it for hikers.
Just wanted to say thank you for sharing your tips. I've learned a lot as well as enjoying your video's
Thanks very much for the kind comment glad you've enjoyed!
Love you 2 a laugh a minute great laughs, be safe fellas cheers
Thanks a lot!
Decent visit to Nant Rhys. It's a spooky looking affair with an equally spooky story attached. It's alright once you get the fire stoked though especially when wet outside. It is after all one of the wettest places in the country with over 2,000mm of rain annually. So, no surprises in you getting soaked. Thanks for the tour. It brought back memories of 2016. Had a great psi trance rave party down the track to way back in 2005. The area attracts the wild for sure. Good going. Mark
We enjoyed it! Certainly better inside than it looked outside but a very welcoming sight after our long walk to get there. Our first visit but sounds like you've had some good times there or nearby!
@@MrWildWales I could see the fun and joy - it is amazing out there. Yes, I've had some good times in the Cambrians. Peace.
It's more fun when you get soaked and end up somewhere you dont know!
@@MrWildWales Oh yeah that's a vibe alright. Bet you got back buzzing.
I took my darts there to play. 20 blokes turned up on bikes. All discussing the minimal weight of the kits. 😂
Oh god I don't mind making a few new friends here and there but that many sounds like a nightmare 😂
Evening, I bet its great around winter time. Lol.. Looking forward to seeing next video 👍😁
Yeah that would be lovely in there as long as you had plenty of wood with you 👌 cheers
Thanks for the vids great work :-)
Glad you like them!
Excellent! Sunday nights viewing sorted! I hope to get over and spend a night here, maybe after Xmas now, or hopefully just before. I'd even spend Xmas day there! 😁 Thanks for the video.
It's a brilliant remote spot unless you mark it on the map its easy to miss (like I did!)
Cracking watch that mate, keep it going, really enjoy the channel and the tips I am getting as I start this year’s wild camp on Friday in the Beacons!!
Nice one! Have a good camp out Friday I'm back to it next week got a few things planned 🙂
Well that was a little spooky! Loved the rules of the toilet
Thanks for watching yeah I want one of those signs ha!
Nice bothy camp mate 👌🏻👍🏻
Cheers nice spot this one
Nice one, not been a bothy camp in ages👍
Cheers Colin 👍
Nice video, enjoyed that. Bit creepy I imagine if on your own but what a place to stay. Pretty jealous I have to say. Look forward to more videos. Cheers!
Thanks pal pretty dark in the middle of that woods good to have company lol
👏 👏 Brilliant. Think we'd stay in our tent rather than a Haunted Bothy though haha. Really good to watch 👍👍🙂
Thanks glad you liked it! Ha it wasn't too bad 😊
@@MrWildWales 😃😃
Goood evening Adam! 👻👍 thumbs up from us, never heard of saluting after flush lol but I will now be a sanitary saluter! 💩😂
6 miles to get to a 2 mile bothy, quote of the video! 🤦♂️
Loved the history of the house to, thanks Adam, think I'd have gone for the tent after that lol! 🍻🍔🌶burgers looked top draw, bet you saluted that one away!
Thanks for taking us along with you, catch you soon, Ceri and Kat ❤👍🧭🗺☕
Ha my navigation skills were not up to par on this one! 😂 yeah I want one of those toilet rules things. I suppose back then if someone in the house caught something you'd all be bad and no doctors to help you. Sad though. Thanks for watching guys 👍🙂🤘
@@MrWildWales have a great time awY next weekend, hope all goes well 😀 👍☕🏕
Thanks it should be a good one
Regarding the fire I would put in my backpack one of those fire logs from home bargains they burn for a couple of hrs and are a good standby ,
Loving the videos
Cheers yeah good idea and if there was a few of you, you could take a couple each 👌
Watched you put all those chilli flakes on and thought he’s gonna have some pain after that lot! 🤣 Took it like a champ though 😀
The second burger was just as spicy with my tongue still burning 😂
I thought that as well, as you say he took it like a champ though, not sure i could have!
Awesome video buddy, I did a photo shoot in that bothy a few years back. Awesome location just can't remember how to get there now ha
Cheers! Yeah as you saw it took a bit of finding lol great place though
Soba noodles rule! Best noodle in a pot. This was a great trip Adam. Can't wait to have my 1st Bothy camp. That stove Drufus has seems dodgy as...
I haven't tried them noodles yet they look good. I think that gas can was a refill so the mixture was wrong
Brilliant video. Didn't know we had bothies down here. Decent burgers and Old Speckled Hen. Burger King eat your heart out!
Cheers! There's a suggestion for Burger King now... Do you want a Coke with that? No a Speckled Hen please 😂
@@MrWildWales if it has to be soft.. Only a Pepsi will do!
No GPS? No ordinance map + cheapy compass??
Sawing wood inside - thanks for cleaning up after!! Don’t you hate the wet?
Forgot to download a map and the path looked straight forward. It would have been had we gone the right way ha
You gotta take druffus with you next week, he’s an education on his own. See ya in work, 👊🏻👊🏻😂🤣
Ha the man is a legend! Week off mate I'll be busy doing nothing 👌
The room that is sealed up is the room where those three children died
By the way, if those truly are Carolina reapers, they’re known to burn you on the way in and on the way out😂
Oh yes those reapers are some hot hot ones lol. They don't normally use the upstairs in bothies but it's a thought for sure
Some sauce on that burger, 🥵 haha, cool that u had the place to yourself, how did u sleep that night knowing what happend there haha
I was dead to the world after all that chilli and some old speckled hen 🤣
@@MrWildWales repeat for next week 👍
Drufus should be in every video
He's not about all the time but he does bring the banter
Can anyone go to a bothy at any time, or do you have to see land owner or something. I've never heard of these before, but definitely want to try them out
Yes you just turn up. Usually someone else has the same idea as you but you end up making new friends
How much chilli sauce dude??????????? You didn't need a fire with the amount of chilli you put on that burger, and i liked the way you just calmly said "It's a bit spicy" whilst eating it. You didn't kid us dude we could see the pain in your face, and i have a fair idea what you actually wanted to say!!! But those kind of words might have needed a bit of editing.
Excellent as always mate, first class. The dude with you was a good laugh, nothing like a night camping in good company.
Cheers pal! To be honest I totally passed out shortly after consuming that burger. I hadn't drunk a huge amount but that chilli really finished me off 😂 I do like a bit of spice though!
@@MrWildWales No worries mate, excellent vlog as i say thankyou. Amazing countryside you have down there, breath taking. You guys down there seem to respect them old buildings, up here they would have been vandalised long ago.
@@waynesmith4612 It's a really wild area this and I think these buildings are a bit too far for the messy types to walk to
first
👊
You could have cooked on the fire top and saved your gas?!
Even a stir fry takes about an hour on a stove top?
I hope we all meet one day yakey da boyo my mum was welsh i ran a coal mine in the valleys it was ok in fact the welsh people are funnier than any of the english aah gaaa you know though beer oh no 🎉🎉❤😂😂😂😂😂😊
We like to have a laugh 😆 thanks buddy glad you liked it 😊
I also can't deal with walking past cows... No thank you.
Ha I always give them a wide berth
Why is it haunted :) I live near aberystwyth. Have visited NAnt syddion said haunted m, story of Wales first recorded quadruplets. X
Hi there. I was looking through the history and all the children died in the house within a few months of each other
@@MrWildWales in NAnt syddion not NAnt Rhys 💔 7 of them, 4 babies under a week old, a 3 year old , 5 year old, the dad. And then the mum likely killed herself in asylum :( xxx
If you have any research on this place , id love to see x
@@lucychapman640 that's crazy about nant syddion! The history of this one was in a little booklet inside the bothy
Haha eating burgers like hannibal lecter 🤣🤣 u prob know by now but its nant Syddion although apparently it is a motherly spirit so nothing to worry about 🤷🏻♀️🤣
They all seem to have a tragic past these buildings 🤔 it doesn't scare me though
