    You did so well! You definitely made the right decision to stop when you did, you've got to be wise and prioritise your safety and wellbeing. And no one wants to be in the hills with Norovirus!
    Well done and thank you for making this video, showing the struggles as well as the joys of hiking!

    Me and my bestvmate did it and it's a real killer on certain sections. Well done for getting as far as you did. It's hard when there is two of you so I'm impressed you managed to keep yourself as motivated to carry on as long as you did. We made the correct choice and did the lakes rather than summit like you did. I'm so glad we didn't now! Wow. Hats off to you ruth . Love from bridgend hun x

    Thank you, great video, planning to do it next year. I was at the Green Man Festival on that weekend. My wife dropped me off in Crickhowell then I walked over the tops and in through the back gate. Coming down was a battle at times getting through all those ferns.
    You... did great! : )

    Hiya Ruth, brilliant video and really good effort on your challenge. You should be very proud of what you managed to achieve. 👏 I've pitched up at most of these locations and the weather can turn very bleak, very fast! Add in to the mix a full day hiking with a heavy pack and that takes some doing. 💪 I honestly couldn't do it that's for sure. 😅
