#wildcamping #getoutside #backpacking #tent
We love your videos about wild camping and for several weeks we have watched nothing else at night. The vision is stunning. But you Allen (hope is spelt right) are a treasure and give joy and hope. Sue and I now say 'Morning flowers,' every day. And 'Oh dear' is used throughout the day. So our love to you, and your entertaining voyages into the wilds of Britain. So endearing to see Poppy and Nicola out with you as well. Peter and Sue xxx
😂 brilliant! So glad you’re enjoying the videos and you get to watch together. It’s funny how normal TV with massive budget programmes are becoming less desirable to watch than people on TH-cam with just a camera and a spring in their step. Thanks👍
Awesome to see you out with Poppy. Great company and what a trooper she is. The next generation of hikers and campers. "Get outdoors"! Well done, Dad! ❤
Yes worth getting the kids involved. My older two are not so interested anymore but they will come back to it 😉👍
well done poppy
Wonderful video. What a wonderful little partner. You’ll always be remembered fondly by a pretty special young woman. These are the memories that sustain us…
Definitely! She is such a pleasure to spend time with.
Kinder Scout, my 6/7/8yr old loved going up. Yeah we cheated and caught the bus to 400mtrs. Leveretts, proper mountain hares, we're watched, she loved it, I loved it. About 9yrs old she didn't fancy walking again, I respected her choice. Our memories on Kinder will last forever. This Pen-y -Fan film brings everything back,ta❤️
Up until 10 they generally love it but then the teens kick in and that’s when they moan 😂😂😂
Im only 30 min drive from there m8. Love it up there beautiful place. Great vid.
You took the M4 motorway trail up pen y fan pronounced pen uh van🏴 There are lots of nicer routes up there tbf. Great video tho 👌🏽
Hi Alan poppy thank you for a lovely fun time beautiful scenery lovely meeting you poppy 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thanks you. Definitely a nice stroll out for us both👍
Lovely to see that Al, the man behind the madness camps 😂❤️
Also, so nice to get Poppy out and about mate. Take full advantage of it. My youngest was poorly as a baby (brain tumour) so mountains are a bridge too far at the moment but she's determined to join me one day up high and I've no doubt she'll do it as shes an absolute beast in so many respects 😊
Huge congratulations to Poppy on her first wild camp too. Top lady 😊
Stay safe and well guys 😊
Adge
Cheers mate but respect for you all supporting your daughter but they are very resilient and tough. I’m sure that strong will allows her to overcome her challenges.
All love
Al
I Figured Poppy was Nicolas daughter she looks like her mum. What a cute kid and great to see you have such a great relationship with her. She loves you you can see it in the way she is with you.
She is ace and we have such a relaxed relationship 🥰
Absolutely enchanting video.
Great vid Al, fantastic to see poppy up there enjoying the adventure 👏👏
Wonderful breathe of fresh air, introducing little ones to the clear mountain air and the freedom of a wild camp.
Fab video with your adorable poppy well done x
Lol spat out my coffee when you say" give it the lettuce" and she one-times it in the bonce.
😂 great shot
Lucky the thing wasn't facing her with its mouth open. I doubt it would have had a choice between eating it or not.
😂
Great family adventure Al, she's a great kid. Love to see the bond you have. Mine is 26 now, miss those days. ATB A
Yes they soon grow up. My older two aren’t so interested anymore in adventure but at least we get to go out on our own adventures 😉👌
Grand views! (And the promise of waffles!)
The camping trips I took with my dad are some of my happiest and, fourty years later, as I was reminiscing with him in his last few months, we talked for hours about all of our adventures and how they were some of our most precious memories. Memories were made this weekend for you two.
By the way- I think the sheep were an intentional plant by the Wales Tourism Board
So many kids now a days will miss out on those memories. It’s so important to get them out there and I’m sure those conversations with your dad now are lovely. Waffles next😉
She’s adorable! Nice content! Thank you for sharing
She is lovely and such an adventurer 👍
Awesome ! Thanks, for sharing your brilliant adventure.
One of my favourite places. I been there
Several times now and camped on the summit also. Was there just 2 weeks ago with my daughter for the first time. Good times had and special memories i can see that you made buddy. Really enjoyed watching this. Thank you for sharing. Take care… Mark
We might of just missed each other. Great to get them out for adventures 👍
Awesome young lady ! Be proud!
Aw brilliant, hey Poppy, you really are a trooper 😁, so glad you enjoyed your first wild camp ⛺️ xx
I’m sure she will be out again soon somewhere more challenging👍
thanks for the content yet again, your one of my inspirations to get out there and find awesome spots to hike and camp. much love
I’m glad people get a little nudge from our adventures to do their own. Definitely get out as much as possible 👍
Well done pop star you made it look easy 🙌
Great Vlog even better when the youngsters enjoy it as much
Cracking hike /camp Al to show the young ones what it's all about ...well done Poppy 👍🏻👍🏻
Not a bad area to have a wander in👍
Just got in off night shift and found this video on my phone. I'll have to put big telly on and watch this.
Always better on a bigger screen😉👍
Great video and Poppy added another dimension to it with the dancing and the interaction with the sheep , reminding us what it is like to be young and carefree. I camped up there twice and I loved it the same way you did, for the views at the top. There's a great circular walk going down to the reservior and back up the other side so you sumit twice.Truly a lovely place to visit.
Yes we enjoyed it. If it wasn’t so late getting up there I wanted to camp at the tarn. Looks lovely.
Brilliant video, looks like you both had a amazing trip. The next generation of adventurers!
Get them involved as many don’t get opportunity 👍👍👍
aww nearly had a tear in my eye, this brought back memories of when i used to take my kids camping (now in their 30's and 40's) so a long time ago now but it brought it all back so thankyou for that Poppy was awesome too 🙂
Great mate. They soon grow up but they’ll never forget those moments👍👍👍
What a fabulous young lady Poppy is! This was a proper heart warming watch. Beautiful place to take her for her first wild camp as well, love the Brecon Beacons.
She loved it and wants more😬.
Brilliant mate. What a cute kid Poppy is, she’ll never forget her first wild camp !!!
She is ace and wants to get out again😉👍
Good to see you down in these parts! 😁 What fantastic weather, and Poppy is a top kid 😊 For us English folk, it's "Penner Van" and "Corn Dee" 😉 I hope Blue was busy planning the next trip while you two were messing about down south! 😁
😂yes he’s made a schedule for it. Thanks mate. Lovely area for a quick jaunt.
Awww, what a sweetie brave young lady... Excellent ! Well done Poppy... I camp on Corn Du exact year ago in heat wave, bit far from me camped dad with little daughter, this remind me of that day as it was so nice and I wished I can go with my Dad do outdoors... Its really lovely there ...great vid...Thank you for sharing ..All best Al ..
Thanks Lucy😊. We had a lovely time on a lovely day. I hope more parents take their kids out on adventures 👍
Another great adventure. Nice you had great company. The sheep were cute. The wind sounded so strong then you tried putting on your jacket. Glad you had a good time.
It was pretty windy in the morning. The sheep were quite intrigued and very friendly but up there I’m sure they get use to the people.
Brilliant, just Brilliant 👏
Brilliant! Making memories BM&B :-)
Another awesome video especially loved the classic bit of dad dancing at 8.17
I can chuck out some shapes if needed😉😂
Spitting image of her mum, absolutely spitting image 👍👌sorry, bit presumptuous of me there, I actually have no idea who her mum is, i’m just guessing 🤷♂️🙄
😂 she is definitely similar and they have done many adventures together too although Poppy and I are like two peas in a pod.
Lovely time producing wonderful memories and such a delightful confident young lady.
Yes she is happiest outside playing👍👍👍
Extra loved this one! Poppy is my hero! Beautiful, heart warming film.
She is a trooper. Thanks Sarah 😊
You two are brilliant. What a calm daughter you have. Great views from the top of the world.
She is pretty cool😉👊
Great video, and Poppy is a great kid, like you said "unfazed by anything" spitting image of her mum too 👍
She is ace😬😊
Wholesome.
Great to see the younger generation out and about. Poppy definitely seemed to enjoy herself with her first wild camp! 👍. Great work yet again. Well done Al.
She does love an adventure and I’m hoping she is hooked ready for another wild camp. 👌😬
❤️It’s fun to see you as a Dad. You two are going to have some wonderful days ahead.
My older two aren’t as interested anymore😂
Taken up there as a young boy and I'm still going 40 plus years plus. Thanks again Al. Gavin 😀
It’s a nice place especially on a clear day.
Great video at always.... Nice to see the next generation out and about !
Yes definitely. My older two are not so interested anymore but they’ve had plenty of adventures in their younger years so hopefully they will be out more in a year or two again.
Poppy is so wondeful! More films like this please :)
Awwwwwww. She is wonderful. My older daughter might come for a camp too.
Now then ☺️ Bushman makes it down to Wales at last. Shame there was no blue but poppy filled in nicely. I did my first wild camp this weekend in the Beacons at Llyn y Fan Fawr near there (awesome circular walk from Llyn y Fan Fach), it was an amazing place, made better actually by spending a few hours chatting to a TH-camr I follow and respect who was camping on the same lake, and a fellow camper who I walked back with having a chat in the rain, times like that make it extra special, hopefully bump into you and Blue one day in the lakes. Great videos as always! Take care. Rob.
Cheers Rob. Yes not a bad place for you to have your first wild camp😉. You’ll be planning many more now I’m sure👍
What a fabulous experience for Poppy, I bet it won’t be the last adventure she does with you. She’s a credit to you. Love Pen Y Fan. 👌
She is lovely and I look forward to taking her on a more exciting camp😉👍
As I live just over the border in Gloucestershire the Brecons are my "local" patch. Most of my vids so far are from nights out on them. As you say, relatively easy but with stunning views and away from Pen Y Fan there are plenty of quieter hills. You and Poppy seem to have a great relationship and she's a real trooper! Lovely vid again
Yes not a bad area to explore. I’m sure winter there would be good👌👍
Re watching this vid as im planning on doing Pen Y fan this coming Thursday. Looks awesome.
Great video Al. It's fab to see the youngsters out enjoying the wild places too!
They need it👍
@@BUSHMANandBLUE definitely
Aw what a great video daughter dad time. Memories she would carry thought out her adult life.
Thanks she’s a lovely lass😊🥰
@@BUSHMANandBLUE No worries:)
@@NicolaRuns Am sure he’s making up for loss time hopefully 🙏 one day he can make things right. Best of luck to you all. .
What a great video, and Poppy is awesome.
Another great vlog! Poppy is adorable and your bond with each other shines through and made the vlog extra special 🥰
She is a cool kid😉. Loves adventure
Winter time might be a challenge tho.
Or a nightmare.
O well 1 step at a time great blog thank you 😊
Awesome video, you both looked so happy. My 9 year old son has been asking to go wild camping with me and this video has just gave me the answer.
My son and his friend climbed Pen y Fan a few weeks ago, they are both 18 and love walking and driving. They took some amazing pictures. Well done Poppy! I have been veggie from the age of 8 with my family and have always had a lot of energy.☺️👍
I’m glad they are getting out for an adventure hopefully they will keep it up👍
Bloody hell Al, I had plans for this morning and now I'm 45min behind schedule because you chose to release a video at crazy o'clock for us all to wake up to!😂 Cracking vid as always and great to see you taking Poppy out, I love her enthusiasm and positivity! I've managed to convince my 14 year old daughter to come out for a night wild camping with me so hopefully she'll go through with it 🤞. #no1youtuber
😂 relax it’s Sunday. I actually set the time wrong but I guess nice to watch before the day starts. She definitely is positive 👍👍👍
Such a heartwarming video...lovely Poppy, a sunny day and my favourite green velvet mountains...making me miss those precious times with my Dad, but I know I was lucky to have them 😊thank you for sharing!
Green velvet mountains are a great description. You obviously had a great dad too👍
@@BUSHMANandBLUE I did. He taught me to feel poetry in our world; and walked my legs off ‘strolling’! 😆
Absolutely cracking video again
Poppy your an absolute star ⭐️
Thanks Pat.
Awesome job Al you are a good mentor what a lucky kid. I had a brother in-law as a kid that taught me about camping and fishing. I will never forget those trips. I'm 55 I still think of him when I catch a nice fish he was an awesome guy. Have fun be safe ✌️
That’s lovely mate. We all need someone to look up to and get inspiration from👍
That was brilliant , Poppy did great 😁👍.New camping fan for life there lol .
Yes she loved it. A bigger adventure for her next time. 👍
Ex soldier here, so I love a bit of camping and the great outdoors. Your You tube channel is just upbeat, wholesome and very genuine. I cannot put my finger on exactly why I enjoy them so much . I bit of inspiration I guess. I have two young boys that are not that interested in camping unless the site has a swimming pool and sells ice cream. All is not lost , I’m sure I can do a deal with the eldest involving a bribe. Anyway , once again a great video, Poppy is an absolute star. Keep up the cracking work .
Thanks mate greatly appreciated 👍. Just get them out as much as possible whilst they are young. My older two now into their teens are less interested.
Great video again… completely agree about getting your kids out and challenging them with adventures👍
Yes and as adults we are the ones that can give them that experience. Many kids don’t get the opportunity 👍
Awesome video Al, I’ve got all this to come with my 3 year old daughter! She also loves your videos! You inspire so many people, and I bet you’ve inspired many to get their young’uns out! Well done, incredible work.
Possibly my youngest watcher🥰. I really hope to inspire others as it is only beneficial for all especially kids👍
This was an awesome, fun video. I really enjoyed watching the both of you. Thanks for sharing.🦋🙋🏻♀️🦋
Thanks Jo. Just an easy one but lovely to spend time like that.
@@BUSHMANandBLUE ….Sometimes easy is nice, too. Life is short, enjoy it when you can.😌
What a delightful video! It warms my heart to see you and Poppy (also my daughter's name) out together. Glad to see that some kids are still brought up to love and embrace the outdoors. It really shows in her confidence and personality. She seems to be an excellent companion on the hill as well.
Obviously I miss Blue too...
I don't think you could have chosen a better place for an evening out under the stars.
Yes we get on well as she has a great sense of adventure 🥰
@@BUSHMANandBLUE These are memories you will treasure forever, and you will have stories ou can embarrass her with in front of her friends when she is older, I'm sure! 😁😁
Another inspirational one Al 👏🏻🤘🏻
What an awesome parent 🙌
😊
What a lovely video
Great place for an overnight and best time to venture out into the busier mountains to avoid the crowds, although last time I was on Pen y fan in July the weather was horrendous. Driving wind and rain and no visibility. Went up it one January and it was stunning, everything dusted in snow and blue skies. Black mountains well worth a look as well.
I generally prefer winter camping because it’s quiet but it’s also nice to chat to people enjoying life up there too👍
@@BUSHMANandBLUE yep agreed.
Brilliant I was up there last Tuesday after work Brilliant views
Yes it doesn’t seem that high as it’s quite an easy walk up there but the views are awesome.
Ace video matey.. you had some great company learning the lay of the land. Great to see fella with a good bond there.. Keep up the good work in sharing your inspiration videos . Take care both
Thanks. Nice place to have an easy camp out 👌
Love how every video starts with a yorkshire 'now then'!! 🤣🤣🤣
Obviously 😉. I hope you are well.
Wholesome video Al. 👍
Cheers Scott👍
2,906' - now I know how high the mountain is.
82.4ºF - now I know how warm it is.
Poppy was a really cute addition to this video. I believe you'll find ready made, frozen waffles in the grocery store.
Yes, Blue was conspicuous by his absence.
It's grrreat that you took your time, experience, & equipment by introducing Poppy to a real-life outdoor camping adventure.
Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada U.S.A.
😂 yes i forgot you guys work in old money. I’ll have to find some pre made waffles although I think I’ll be able to make fresh. Thanks Bill as always.
@@BUSHMANandBLUE and we drive on the RIGHT side of the road.
😂 the wrong side I’d say 😂
I work in a school with a huge outdoor program, mainly Outward Bound Trust and Duke of Edinburgh, it's great getting the kids out learning new skills.
Yes the curriculum should have more sport and more outdoor adventure.👌
At 3.04 an orange orb appears between the hills,then disapears?
Hi Poppy🙋,you did brill👍👍👍🏅
(Vegetarians are the best🎉).
Reminds me of when my daughter was about 7yr and she flew up Scafell Pike,like a mountain goat 🐐🐐🐐
O yes another excellent video what stunning views. And a cracking little companion Poppy looked as though she really enjoyed it. A really nice place but rather too busy up there for me being a boring loner. Anyhow take care and All the best Cheers. B. K
Yes I prefer quieter places but really it’s why I prefer winter camping😉
🌜🦋🦋🦋 poppy is very cute 🦋🦋🦋🌛
Great episode, great kid. Good to see the next generation getting out there.
Yes definitely. Too many kids don’t get to adventure much.
A lovely video Alan good on you taking your daughter on a wild camp looks great there a must visit top man bud 👍👏
Thanks mate. Lovely to get out with the young ones and give them some special memories 👍👍👍. All kids deserve it.
What a beautiful video 😍
Thanks🥰
Apologies Alan poppy isn’t your daughter ! Lovely kid love all your videos top man 👏👏👏
Love Pen Y Fan, climbing next week!
Ace enjoy. Hopefully it’s a clear day.
Great video mate, I love the Beacons, great to see Poppy out and enjoying it too👍🏻👍🏻
The rolling hills are quite calming and that’s the first time I’ve been.
@@BUSHMANandBLUE they are calming for me now too mate, it was a different story in my younger years in the Army 🤮😂
😂 I can imagine
How great to start a youngster on such an adventure 👍🏻 bet Blue was fuming at being left behind though 😄
😂 if blue isn’t with me he’s with my dad on an adventure so he’s always happy🥰
great wee adventure, i'm glad to see the taiji 2 putting up with some wind, still gonna add extra guy lines though hehe.
Yes I need to give it a proper test although that was fairly windy👌👍
Mmm waffles up a mountain, now then! What a lovely vid Al, Poppy is so cute! ATB 🙎🏻♀️&🐕
I’ll make waffles for her next time😉
Luv your videos, miss Blue
Good video mate really enjoyed it, I enjoyed camping up there myself, we did a -5c winter camp and it was epic
I would definitely enjoy a winter camp up there👌
@@BUSHMANandBLUE I was hoping it would involve less people, but we opened up the tents and there was around 60 people already there for the sunrise 🤣🤣🤣
Marvellous great to see a child with no screen!
Yes she doesn’t have much screen time at all. Loves an adventure 👍
I have a sixteen month old granddaughter with sensible parents but I worry. Anyway this month now my son and I are taking her camping - with car etc. I hope we smash it. Air tent weighs a ton so different league but it’s a start 😁
Such a joy to watch. Great to see kids enjoying the outdoors and embracing nature. Getting them hooked young is definitely the way. Good on you Al and Nicola
Yes all kids need the opportunity to adventure. They should do way more in schools. Thanks Steve.
Nice video
My daughter who has just turned 8 is called Poppy. lovely name. looks like a great outing.
Nice camp young man! Hopeing to take grandson out in a couple of weeks for his first wild one.
Definitely in some good weather 👍👍👍
Poppy is a natural.
Wish I could come with u haha. Thins reminds me of my first bbq with my family. Why does food cooked outside taste so much better haha . Got my tent ordered. Gonna follow your footsteps and my kids wanna do it too. U live life to the full. Respect all the way haha. Love your chanel
Thanks mate and definitely get your kids out on more adventures. They will love it!
