- Join us on our Christmas trip to Snowdonia to wild camp in the snow after ascending the Devils Kitchen. We then spend a night on a campsite then head south for a night in Nant Syddion bothy. We had a great time and met some viewers (Hi guys) and also had great company in the bothy . (Hi Chris , Anthony , Sam and Kevin.) Happy and safe travels for the New Year.

Hi guys. Ant Jones here. I met you at Nant Sydian with my older brother Chris and my nephew Sam. You are an inspiration and I am still busy watching your videos. I really hope you get to make a living out of your videos. Just a note, Kevin stayed with us over the New year and left on the 2nd when we did. New years eve, there were 33 people in all stopped at the bothy. Most of them had never stopped in a bothy before. Great party and such nice people too. Best wishes for the new year and Thank you for doing what you do, I hope there will be many more years of adventures for you both. Cheers....Ant Jones
Hi Ant . Good to hear from you and Happy New Year! Wow 33! It must have been a great atmosphere , wish we'd stayed now! Don't think we'll ever get big enough to earn a crust from this but we love making the videos so that's enough for us , would be nice though . Really enjoyed all your company that night and all the best on your future adventures.Pass on our regards to Chris and Sam. Cheers , Austin and Lucy.
A happy new year to you Austin and Lucy.Here's to a good year of adventures. Atb,Andy.
Thanks Andy and Happy New Year to you. Cheers . Austin and Lucy.
Nice one you two :) thanks for bringing us along! Happy new year to you both, atb, Paul.
Cheers Paul and Happy New Year! Atb. Austin and Lucy.
Brilliant! I have tried to watch this twice in the week and got interrupted each time, so third time lucky this morning, as I wanted to enjoy it all in one go. Great scramble up and man them views....... stunning! When I watch this, I cannot wait to go out and get more wildcamping done this year, although in the warmer weather. The best bit of kit I bought before I did my (one and only) wildcamp last year was a powerpack and it was great, charging my camera, phone (twice) and tablet, while I was away and still on 4 out of 5 bars when I got back. Nice to bump into a fellow TH-camrs and you never know when or where that might be. Great call on leaving the campsite and going to the bothy, sounds like you had an awesome night. Great drone footage throughout, which gives a real perspective of the area. Really enjoyed watching this (undisturbed), much respect to you both, Happy New Year and nice to see Marley at the end! Cheers Alan
Thanks Alan. We've always wanted to to the Devils Kitchen and it was perfect in these conditions and made the drone footage look so much better. Those power banks are so important with all the tech nowadays.We didn't see a plug socket for five days in the Alps and used some big cheap ones from China , they were brilliant and go everywhere with us now. It was great meeting the guys on the mountain and made our day. That bothy was awesome and the company was too , the other lads stayed for New Years and said there were 33 people there that night! wish we'd stayed now , it must have been a good party! We've just now got back from a return visit to the bothy in the last video and it was great to take Marley out with us again and no snow this time! Happy New Year! Cheers . Austin and Lucy.
+2 Feet Forward,
I'm crying with laughter as Marley is just brilliant. Fantastic video, can't remember how many times I gasped in awe at Devils' Kitchen footage. Just immense
Thank you . it was hard not to get a good shot in scenery like this. Cheers . Atb. Austin and Lucy.
Fantastic vid guys a real enjoyable watch and some stunning scenery to enjoy a wildcamp and hike in. Mind you cant beat a bothy night with a warm comforting fire and some good company oh and a few bees lol, those are the times you'll remember. Anyways thanks for sharing hope yous are well. ATB Steve
Thanks Steve, hope all is well your end. You’re not wrong , it was great to spend the second night in front of the fire and with some great company. There were over 30 people there on New Years! Cheers. Austin and Lucy.
Outstandingly outstanding. Done Tryfan north face twice but at the time didnt know about the devils kitchen. Its on me list. Stunning vid folks.
Thank you, it’s a lot easier than Tryfan that’s for sure 👍
happy new year to you both... wow a great bunch of folk you met always great to meet a viewer.. really enjoyed the devils kitchen footage great stuff. a good night at the bothy what a cracking humble abode to see... wishing you both cracking adventures for 2018 atb from me and sinc :) awww lush to see Marley at the end just brill |
Thanks Julie . It was a great night at the bothy, apparently on New years eve there were 33 people partying in there! wished we'd stayed now 🙄. Happy New Year to you both and happy travels .Atb. Austin and Lucy.
Great video as usual. Whatever the weather you just love it. Yes I missed Marley as well. Xx
Thank you . Hopefully we'll get a bit of warmer weather and Marley can come out with us 👍 . Cheers . Austin and Lucy.
Fantastic , brilliant , super.... What a fab location and well presented Mr & Mrs. Personally I love it around there and "Happy new year". Your channel is growing now for sure if you are getting recognised in the middle of nowhere - lol , that goes to show that you are telling the story as it should be. It's late now so will catch the final bit tomorrow as a part 2. Up to camping near the Gwynant pass.
Cheers fella . Happy New Year! God it pissed down the moment we put the big tent up at Llyn Gwynant and didn't stop. Packed it up in two inches of water and only took it down in the garden yesterday on the first dry day . Starting to look forward to summer a bit more now! . Cheers . Austin and Lucy.
Always spectacular places we get to see:)) Still nice you ended up in the snow :))) Thanks, Guys!
It was a good one this and no dramas! Cheers . Austin and Lucy.
Glad I found your channel, great stuff! surprised you don't have more subs as you all deserve it.
Thank you very much 👍 ATb. Austin and Lucy.
Hi Austin and Lucy, looks like a great trip kept smiling to myself every time you apologised for the wind baked beans came to mind. Keep the vid's coming
Ha ha , Cheers Kevin, i keep forgetting that i have the deadcat nowadays and the noise isn't half as bad. There's plenty of 'baked bean' clips that get the chop in editing lol. Cheers . Austin and Lucy.
Thoroughly enjoyed watching this. The drone footage is stunning!
Thanks Andy 👍 Atb . Austin and Lucy.
Something very special about Snowdonia, a very spiritual place for me... I spent that same night under the stars in my van at Ribblehead, closer to home but there really is something very wonderful about a night away from the busy world, under the stars... I look forward to seeing more videos!
Thanks Martin . Snowdonia is our favourite place in the UK . It gives the batteries a recharge when you go back to basics i think . Cheers . Austin and Lucy.
Brilliant...always enjoy your videos guys, this is outstanding.
Thank you, it was a great trip this one 👍
Off to Snowdonia on the 15th wild camping, Thank you for all your videos, Some invaluable information.Happy New Year Guys.
Have a great time! Happy New Year. Cheers . Austin and Lucy.
Breathtaking scenery. Y’all make great videos. Hello from Florida
Hi there ! Thank you 👍
Great video, really enjoyed this. Love North Wales. 👍👍 Simon
Thank you. We can’t wait to get back there 🤞. Stay safe.
You have quickly become my favourite UT channel 👏 love the fact you think nothing of traveling 300 ~ miles to tackle some tuf climbs in the most horrendous of conditions and all with genuine joy to be out 👍 happy new year :2018
Thanks James , very kind of you . It's a good job i enjoy driving! It would be nice to live nearer to this sort of scenery, maybe that's something to change in the next few years. . All the best for 2018 . Cheers . Austin and Lucy.
Love your vids! Thanks from Dan in New Jersey
Thank you Dan 👍 cheers . Austin and Lucy.
Wooooow that brought back many happy memories. I spent several trips with the Royal Air Force Mountain rescue back in the 1060s in this area. I wish I could visit again.
When I left the RAF I went to live in New Zealand another very mountainous country with many good memories too. Alas I am in my 76 year and am unable to walk far now. But I do have those wonderful memories. So thank you for enhancing those memories. Peter
Hi Peter , you were in the RAF at the same time as my dad. He visited New Zealand a couple of years before he died and I always remember him saying he wished he’d had done it years ago . He said he would have visited every year as he loved it so much . We really must make the trip out there. At least you have a great life of memories, some sadly don’t even have that. Thank you for your kind comment and Atb. Austin and Lucy.
Should you ever decide to visit New Zealand. we would be delighted to host you. We are in the south Island we call it the Mainland. Living in Dunedin in the south east of NZ. We are an hours drive from the Lakes and the southern alps.Should you and your wife decide to visit there will be a welcome on the mat. My E mail addy is retired9174@gmail.com.
Wow , thank you very much that’s so kind of you! Cheers . Austin.
Hi Austin. If you send me your E mail Address. I will send you some Photo's and tramps of the South Island New Zealand.
Thanks 👍. It’s footser@hotmail.com
Great video!! Would love to get to Wales& Scotland for a little bit of hiking. Although I got the Alps right in front of my nose. Greetings from Germany!!
Hi there and thank you. We can’t recommend a visit enough although the Alps are something else ! Cheers. Austin and Lucy.
Greetings from Windsor Ontario Canada. Great vids. Keep 'em coming! I'm havin' it!
Hi there , you sound like your local to us and we only live about 11 miles from Windsor lol Glad your enjoying the videos. Cheers . Austin and Lucy.
These videos remind me of my youth camping and hiking all over North Wales. I need to get back in to it as the places on my doorstep really are breathtaking.
We'd kill to have this sort of thing on our doorstep. Go on , get back out there.Cheers . Austin and Lucy.
You make the best videos! I really look forward to seeing more.
Thank you very much Mark. Glad you enjoy them😁. Cheers. Austin and Lucy.
The photography using the drone is really quite good.
Favourite spot?
In Wales, that would be Cadair idris. Keep an eye out for the video later today 👍
Wow!! What a great trip! Some beautiful places. Those last few bothies looked more like old farmhouses than mere shelters. Happy New Year!!
Thanks David , it was a great trip and no dramas lol. It was an old farmhouse this one , huge compared to a lot of the bothies we've visited. There was a book with the history of the building there which i forgot to include in the video for some reason ? Cheers and Happy New Year! Austin and Lucy.
I would've really enjoyed the history!
🤭 oops , sorry. We'll go back again 👍
2 Feet Forward hahaha! No, I mean I just like history of that kind of thing. Fascinating! I'd have loved to have been along to learn about it. Would've enjoyed that.
Just settling down to watch your latest...Happy New year and looking forward to your travels 2018....
Thanks Dawn , Happy New Year to you . Hope you enjoy it . Atb. Austin and Lucy
The weather gave you a couple of gray days on that one. Don't care to much for mountaineering 10 thousand feet or so and the tree line and I will stand and marvel at the rocks rising up beyond, But then I will dodge back into the forest. I don't mind the high passages through the mountains but no desire to climb. The clip at the end with Marley was nice. What a sweet dog.
Thanks Max . We can only dream of 10,000ft mountains .That's why we're heading off to Spain in May to walk a mountain over 10,000. We were definitely born in the wrong country lol. That gift for Marley was from one of our regular viewers and was really kind of them. It's good to know TH-cam isn't all trolls and nastiness. Cheers . Austin.
The highest peak in the Big Horn Mountains is Cloud Peak a measly 13,000 ft. Compared to some out in the world it is puny. I usually quit at the treeline about 9,500 to 10,000 before they go Straight up. Most of the trail heads here are above 8,000. The air is thin but fresh.
You get out there and you do not want to come back. Maybe one day I won't. Max
Beautiful footage. Wow you are motivating me to dust off my pack and hit the trail.
Thank you 👍. Happy hiking! . Cheers. A+L.
Do it, Ed
This is another really great walks video. Hope you all have a great 2018 with lots of good walks.
Thanks and all the best for 2018 ! Cheers . Austin and Lucy.
great upload lovely place cheers for sharing and happy new year to you all
Thank you Lisa and have a Happy New Year! Cheers . Austin and Lucy.
One of my favourite places in Wales. Spent a good part of 2018 winter doing some gully climbs on banana gully and some of its neighbouring gullies.
Great vid 👍
Thank you 👍 It’s a beautiful place for sure . Are you going to do something similar this winter? Cheers Austin and Lucy.
@@2FeetForward sure, I'm looking at heading that way towards some time in January. It'll only be during weekdays as I'm very short of annual leave this winter. I'm also off to the Cairngorms in February for a few days.
Ooh, Cairngorms in February. You like proper bit of winter weather then. Have a great trip 👍
@@2FeetForward Thanks, I'm looking forward to it. I'll be heading to a bothy there as well as using my tent. It's a route I did in the summer over 2 days. I'm giving myself 3-4 days in Feb.
I should also be heading to Brecon Beacons very soon. I noticed you guys have camped on Pen Y Fan. It's a great place, I'll probably pitch up on Fan Y Big.
what a cracking vid!! well done you 2👏👏👏👍👍
Thank you very much 👍 Cheers . Austin and Lucy.
Hi Austin and Lucy LOL that bit in front of the Bothy with the drone just needed the theme tune from Farther Ted. I know and respect that you take things seriously but that would have been a hoot.
Lol . i'd love to try and add some humour in the videos but Lucy has told me many times , ' Austin , don't try and be funny , it doesn't suit you " lol 🙄
Wonderfull!!! Nice filming!! Waiting for the next video!!
Thank you 👍 Atb . Austin and Lucy.
Magnificent country and beautiful video....Subbed from America
Thank you very much 👍. Cheers. Austin and Lucy.
Lovely vid. Santa brought me the sony camera. Much better than my hero 4 black. Love the Marley clip.
Thanks Phil . Good choice Luckily i've been using the Gopro for the slow mo shots at 120fps so it's been given a new lease of life . otherwise the Sony would do it all . You may know but i bought some copy batteries from Ebay . £15 for two with a twin quick charger and they're as good as the Sony ones Cheers . Austin and Lucy.
Arhh i am so jealous, i need to get out on a Wild Camp but it has to wait until late Spring because i have a new pup and its only 6 months old, until then i am confined to my laptop so thank you for the great videos, keep them coming to save me from climbing the walls they help to keep me calm whilst the pup is chewing my house up. Ps great to see Marley doing so well at 10 years of age too. Atb Bill.
Thanks Bill .What type of pup? Bet you can't wait to get out and about him (or her). i remember when Marley was a pup and it seemed to take forever before he could come out on the bike with us. Now i wish i could turn back the clock and do it all again . As soon as we get a bit of warmer weather he'll be out with us again , no pipe and slippers for him yet! Cheers . Atb. Austin and Lucy.
Hi Austin, sadly like you i have an older dog ( Bohemian Shepherd) that has seen the last of her Wild Camping days, back legs going. I also have a fully grown female Belgian Malinois and now i have a Male Belgian Malinois who is 6 months. So as you will see im safe when im in the middle of nowhere, they even carry their own food etc in tactical molle packs they wear on their backs, result all round. Yep with all this snow and perfect winter camping conditions im biting at the bit to get out, never mind will soon get out ......
Great video, loved it.
Cheers Craig 👍. Atb.A+L.
I love hard winter camping. The harsher the blizzard the better. I guess I like it rough.
We can definitely relate to that lol. It's always the more testing winter camps that make the best memories and it's that bit more satisfying on the way home .Cheers . Austin and Lucy.
Just caught up - finally. This Bothy business looks like good fun,
They’re great the bothies and nearly all we’ve visited so far have a river or stream very close by. Could be worth a visit with your pans. Cheers . Austin.
loved this video it was really enjoyable
Thank you Martin 👍. Cheers. Austin and Lucy.
Beautiful trip, thanks.
Cheers James . Atb. Austin and Lucy.
I meant to say Ebac!, however predictive text had other ideas.LOL. Never mind eh. Thanks again for taking us all with you on your camps 👍
+2 Feet Forward,
Amazing vlog guys. And love the eagle flying past,you. Certainly wasn't a crow that's for sure.
Thank you and yes, it was definitely a great big killer eagle lol . Cheers . Austin and Lucy.
Another belter Austin & Lucy. What a great wee scramble at the start and rewarded with stunning views. The storm clouds seem to be following you both everywhere recently....lol. Love the night still shots of the tent in all it's glory. That's a cracking big bothy. And an outhouse with door....haha. Nice chap that farmer was. Always peace of mind when you know the car is parked OK.
Always new this channel would grow from strength to strength. You both put a lot of effort into capturing the content to entertain us all and it's good to see it getting rewarded with more subscribers.
Well, happy new year guys. I shall indeed be tagging along again this year for my outdoor YT fix via the sofa......😁 Take care. atb Andy 👍👍
Thank you Andy. It was good that little scramble , always makes you feel like your really on a mountain if you know what i mean and that bothy was ace . 3 bedrooms , 2 fire rooms and an outhouse , what more could you want!
The farmer and his mother were so friendly and what was a coincidence was last weekend there was a program with Kate Humble called off the beaten track and it was all set on this very farm with the farmer and family starring.We couldn't believe it when it came on !
The channel has gone mad since the last video which has been fantastic . I must admit we never really started doing it to get loads of subscribers but it's such a great feeling knowing people enjoy the videos enough to subscribe and watching the count go up is brilliant.
Thanks for all your support , it really is appreciated and have a Happy New Year . Cheers . Atb. Austin and Lucy.
There's a great ledge on the south east buttress just below summit of Tryfan for a winter camp and the views are breathtaking in the night and morning towards ogwen and the south col glyder.
Thank you. We’ll have to check that out 👍
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you 👍
How could one not enjoy such great content!!!!...ATB for 2018 my mates 👍👍👍
Thank you Fraser and all the best for the coming year. Cheers . Austin and Lucy.
Fantastic thanks for sharing.
Cheers Gary . Atb . Austin and Lucy.
Great vid. Cheers from the Rocky Mountains.
Thank you 👍.Atb . Austin and Lucy.
Another brilliant video
Thank you 👍 . Atb . Austin and Lucy.
Brilliant video firstly I have drone jealously we are in talks of buying one in other words I am bending chris's arm ;-) Also jealous of the wild camping can't wait until our kids are grown chris has been on his own but not for a year. The first walk looked great can't believe how busy it was, it's made us think of visiting Snowdonia it's beautiful and not too far away from us however would be with the rugrats. so glad you didn't get into too much trouble like last time bet you missed marley however sometimes it's best they stay at home ATB Leona
Thank you .Go on just get one . You won't regret it , it's made such a difference to the last years videos and it's great fun to fly. We can't recommend Snowdonia enough . Every walk is stunning and there's loads of stuff to do other than that . The campsite we stayed on , Llyn Gwynant, is brilliant for kids in the summer as you can have a proper fire and also take boats down the river into the lake. We really missed Marley so as soon as we know it won't be too harsh weather wise , he'll be back out . Cheers . Austin and Lucy.
we def are just can't decide which one to get, like the spark it's cheaper and we are novices but know the mavric would be amazing for our walks. will def look into that campsite sounds great :-)
Hi mate another brilliant video I've only just discovered you over Christmas but will be looking more during the year you say yourself from south of London I'm from Basingstoke which is south of London I never know what bump into each other keep the good work up and have a lovely year take care Darren
Cheers Darren , we're 2 junctions down the M3 at Farnborough and we're always wandering around GoOutdoors in Basingstoke so it's highly likely. Happy New Year! Cheers . Austin and Lucy.
2 Feet Forward yes maybe will you have a happy New Year as well and stay safe good luck mate
I knew I'd seen you before !!! It was in Go Outdoors in Basingstoke. Love your videos btw
Cheers Ben . Yes i can be regularly found aimlessly walking up and down the aisles of GoOutdoors .Atb. Austin.
Awesome film!
Thank you 👍
What an awesome video. The views are incredible!! Just subscribed
Thank you 👍 .Cheers . Austin and Lucy.
Another amazing video....
Thank you John 👍
except their nice hot brew was lost!! in the snow!! and they could now see stars where their roof once was!!
Amazing scenery loved it
Thank you 👍 . Atb. Austin and Lucy.
On our way back down to the central belt after our own adventures in Aviemore. This will take up a nice bit of the journey time! (Obviously not driving haha). Keep the films coming.
Great stuff , hope you had a good trip and safe travels . cheers . Atb , Austin and Lucy.
Hi again from Germany, I know Ogwen very well - my climbing nursery school was Idwal Slabs 20 years ago when I lived in Llanfairfechan. I have a funny story for you. About 6 years ago I was visiting my Dad and we were driving up through the Ogwen Valley deep in discussion. Bear in mind I drive on the right in Germany. I pulled into a lakeside layby to look round and on pulling out, without thinking drove on the right lane. A car came round by Milestone Buttress and heading straight for me of course, beeped at me! I immediately drove in the left lane! He turned round and followed me and I got out and explained. He was very nice when he found out the truth as he was scared I was drunk! :)
Wow... Awesome ☺️, 🎥🚶Senic Views . Tks for sharing. Crack on 👍 I hiking in Serra da Estrela - Portugal and... snow 👍☺️.
Hi Carlos , hope your enjoying the snow ! Cheers Austin and Lucy.
2 Feet Forward, yes ⛺👍. Tks☺️
very nice, looked like a good spot in the snow
it was great thanks Lezley and no dramas this time 👍 Cheers . Austin and Lucy.,
Love those slow mo shots👍
Cheers Ben . Atb. Austin and Lucy.
I must add you've inspired me to get exploring the Alps again near me!
That’s great to hear! I have tried to read the the last comment about an old trip of yours but I can only read the first to lines on the notification. I just can’t find it on this video, just didn’t want you to think I’ve ignored it 👍. Cheers . Austin and Lucy.

Thx for the reply. Oddly enough i have a copy out here in Germany of "Climbing Days" by Dorothy Pilley. She I believe authored some of the routes on Idwal Slabs, where I began climbing.
Happy new year both. I’ve really enjoyed watching your videos over the last year and as mentioned in previous comments you’ve given me some ideas for future trips and finally gave me the push to purchase an inflatable kayak (Thames and Arun vids). I’ve been out on it a couple of times and absolutely loved it. Many thanks for taking the time to record and share your adventures and I hope that all the lovely comments you continually receive confirms we appreciate your efforts. Take care. Be safe. All the best. Rob.
Hi Rob . Happy New year. That's very kind of you to say and great news about the Kayak. What one did you get? The comments and support have been brilliant and the response to the last vid blew us away , everyone has been so kind. Are you planning any camping trips in the Kayak then? Cheers and happy paddling! . Atb . Austin and Lucy.
I picked up a Sevylor Tahiti Plus on EBay for a bargain. I quite fancy the idea of a canoe camp this year. I’ve been looking at the Basingstoke canal. I’ve got a day trip planned on the Monmouthshire & Brecon canal but not until September.
Excellent , you'll fit loads in that . We go on the Basingstoke canal fairly often in the summer as it's local to us and we've always wanted to do the Monmouthshire canal . The only thing we've got planned for the summer is the Wye from Symonds Yat which should be good.Cheers.
I’ve hired canoes on the Wye a few times including a 4 night canoe camp starting up stream from Symonds Yat. Wonderful part of the world. Symonds Yat Gorge is stunning. If you haven’t already, check out Wye Canoe, canoeists guide to the River Wye. It’s a really comprehensive guide.
Thanks will do 👍
Love your stuff guys, sublime spot for the Hotel Quasar and looks so welcoming ! Wishing you many adventures in 2018. Andy
Thanks Andy . It was a cracking spot . All the best for 2018 ! Cheers . Austin and lucy.
Just found your channel and love it. The farmers dog was a Belgian Shepherd I think. Please keep the vlogs coming they are really good.
Thank you very much 👍 . The farmers dog was actually a genuine Welsh Sheep Dog . I was so amazed by him i asked the farmer . They are often mistaken for Border Collies but are actually better sheep dogs and can do the job by instinct and virtually no instruction . They used to be used by cattle and sheep drovers and would hunt , guard and herd for their masters along the way . There is a special breeding program to increase the numbers going on at the moment . Kate Humble . the nature presenter has one and is in the breeding program. They really are amazing dogs.Thanks again . Cheers . Austin and Lucy.
Oh yes I am sorry, I see now that I was mistaken. Lovely dog though whatever the breed. My friend used to own a Welsh Collie, really nice dog, but needed a job to keep her occupied or she would invent her own! 😀
Subscribing, love your videos. Cheers from northern Canada. 🌹👍
Thank you 👍. Ahh , somewhere we’re desperate to visit! Maybe next year for my 50th 🤞. Cheers 👍. Austin and Lucy.

-1c huh? haha... I wouldn't mind some nice warm weather like that. Here it's feeling like -37c with the wind. Nice views there.
I know , i know , it's pathetic isn't it . We're just not used to it as we're from the south. We need to get over there to feel a proper winter . Cheers . Atb. Austin and Lucy.
