I was looking for youtube videos for this walk [done it a couple of times], I've not been there in a few years. But your video reminds me of the first time I went. Maybe 25 years ago? I remember scrambling along a steep path to try and get to the last waterfall on what would have been the old paths/tracks [and a lot less people about back then], and sliding down the hill towards the drop off and grabbing a bush. I didn't have walking boots on, and thought "this is too sketchy". These days, walking boots and a view is never worth risking an accident.
Thanks for posting this. Many years ago my wife and I did this walk. Dispite warning signs we stupidly decided to follow the old trail you referred to. As a person who had done scrambling in Snowdonia, "How hard can it be" I thought. Well I soon found out. In one particular place it was very very dangerous. My foolhardy attitude (unlike me normally), put us both in danger. Apart from that it was a great walk.
Fabulous walk you did. I have a little hint which you might like. When I stop and put my rucksack down I always put my 'stick' through the straps of my rucksack so that I can't forget it! I hope you like my suggestion
my aunties unfortunatley made a mistake in theses waterfalls they where amazing people and im proud to have called them family i will never get over it💔
Yes, the same thing almost happened to me at Hardrath Force in N. Yorks (high on the remote border almost with Cumbria). After a heavy rainfall period, all those bare rocks you see in your video will be well under water. And in my case, I ended up beside the nearest thing I've ever seen in this country to Niagara Falls, which I had to scramble up the dripping slippery side to get out. Any waterfall after a heavy rainfall period can increase to at least four times the ferocity, possibly more.
In any walk if you do your research it goes a long way. There is another car park which you could've taken and in your case probably an hour out of your adventure.
There's an easier 3 waterfall walk not far away from there in pontneddfechan.the falls are just as good but the path is easier and can see all 3 in an hour and a bit.

Believe it or not somebody died on this hike a while back!

The word waterfall does somewhat imply a sudden change of height, so climbing is sometimes on the cards! At least I was blessed with clear weather
Found your video really useful👍🏻 Only found out about these falls recently and planning a trip very soon.
Thanks! Have a great trip. And stay on the path!

Sensible, even with the humblest of hikes!
Soz Beki, I’m off with Mike on the waterfall hunt.
This might be the first time somebody actually did let me know down in the comments 😂

Thanks for the heads up! Though I’m sure I’d still find a way to make it last five hours 😅
Starts from the angel pub so easily done
