- Our Wales Tour takes us from golden beaches to dramatic mountains and beautiful valleys. Wales really does tick all natures boxes. In Part 1 of the Wales Motorhome tour we stay at Torrent Walk Campsite near Dolgellau which is a perfect location for us to visit Barmouth by bike, we cycle along the train line on the way there and take the steep route back. We hike up Cader Idris which is a short drive away (We had our car with us on this trip)

you craeted good , Extreme-:))
Thank you 😊 Andy&Michelle
Its been more than 30 years since I last went around that area, as for the hill climbs hmm don't even think back then I would of been able to do it let alone in just over four hours. To get to the top and see that body of water is more of a torment than a beautiful view after that walking I think I would risk the DIVE from up there into it. Great video guys. Watching Chelle in those trainers my ankles would of been in agony even more so on that steep walk down. I had to stop watching a 3rd of the way through I was that tired I needed a 2 hour break and when I woke up I had blisters on my feet and bruising around my left ankle. lol. Thanks for sharing brought back good memories from when my kids mom was alive. Ray K. UK. yawn.
Hi Ray, its great you enjoyed our hike😀🥾 The hike down was a tough one and seemed to go on for ever! Its lovely to hear we brought back some good memories for you, very touching ❤️ Take care ...Andy&Michelle
Great vlog guys. Were off to bed now. Were knackered from your ride. We'll start watching more because we will be there next year as full-time vanlifers from Australia.
Thanks 😊 lots of great places to visit over here in the UK and Europe so sure it will keep you busy and interested for a long time! 😀👍 Cheers...Andy&Michelle
Another epic Vlog, looking forward to part 2 👍
Thanks 👍😀 Andy&Michelle
I only asked about the wales adventure the other day on your Facebook post and you’ve delivered thank you loving it as I live on Anglesey.simon
Yes, saw your post 😀 Anglesey coming up in Part 3 🎬 Cheers...Andy&Michelle
Superb 👌🏼 cadair idris is on our to do list, ideally with the tent
Cader Idris is definitely a must do but need the right weather so pick you day!☀️ Tenting it?! Probably easier to get parked up close, not sure I’ll ever get Michelle back in a tent! 🤣 Cheers.. Andy&Michelle
I’m doing the bike ride you did in this video Wednesday!!!!
Hope you enjoy it and hope the weather is ok! 😀 cheers…Andy&Michelle
Really impressed with the cycle track to Barmouth, this is going to be a great series ❤️👍
Yes that cycle track was a beautiful and interesting all the way😀😎 lots of great stuff coming up 👍👍 cheers…Andy&Michelle ❤️
That was superb and to see a bike run we’ve actually done, well, past the pub and rickety bridge to Barmouth and along to fairbourne and the wee steam train! Nice climb and you didn’t appear to get lost! Remarkable 😂 Thanks as always for the advice on Switzerland you guys are the best!
On this occasion it was a perfectly executed route! 🤣 a miracle really as it was only planned out 10 minutes before starting! Good to see you also took the ride into Barmouth, did you stay at the same site? Cheers.. Andy&Michelle
@@ExtremeMotorhomingAdventures we were at Hendre mynach folks, saw the Slaws do a video on it. We loved it, perfect base for cycling walking and eating at the lobster pot - amazing! You guys stayed there also I think !
Superb vlog as always 👍
Thanks Cheryl 😊 Andy&Michelle
Wow We have not watched both of you for some time. you are still two Barmy daredevils. taking the toughest route, ( I would make the wife Carry me he he he ) it was nice to you still stop for tea / dinner/ and CAKES? love the views you two are just a beautiful couple enjoying life, it was a pleasure to watch just sub again best wishes Ken and Christine xxx (yea old codgers)
You're right - it has been a while, good to hear from you 😀 cheers...Andy&Michelle x
Is that a disused railway line? I would have loved to go along there on a train 😍 we definitely need to do that area. We want to do snowdon at some point - the pathway with all the fairy pools. Would be great to plan that together one day 😊 also we are yet to find one of those ladders that goes across a fence and I really want to go over one 😂
Yes it is a disused line, would be perfect for your tandem😀 do you know you are talking about the hardest route up snowdon , starts from the lowest point and is a bit tricky for the last section! It is beautiful though, always happy to take you up though😀 maybe we can find a ladder style too! 😀 cheers.. Andy&Michelle ❤️
Thank you for taking us on part 1 of your Wales adventure. We are watching with interest as we are really interested in exploring the area more next year. Excellent footage and video
Thank you 💕
Rachel, David & Roxy
Thanks Rachel, David & Roxy 😊 it’s a beautiful country with so many activities 😀 a little sunshine also helps! 😎 cheers .. Andy&Michelle
Another great video which I love most. Beautiful scenery. Thank you for sharing with us.
Thanks Jacky, Wales does have amazing scenery and when the sun shines it takes some beating😀 Cheers...Andy&Michelle
We’ve yet to head to Wales in our Motorhome but are planning to do Snowdon with friends hopefully next year but this has inspired us to do more areas as that cycle looked really lovely and that hike, wow, the views were amazing 🤩 Thank you for making such great vids and sharing them, looking forward to part 2 😊
You are in for a treat, theres so much to do and experience there, just putting the finishing touches to part 2 with lots more activities so won't be long 😀 cheers...Andy&Michelle
Your videos and editing are superb guys! Stunning Wales, we're so lucky in the UK to have 4 beautiful nations!👌👏
Thanks Paul its great to hear that😀 yes we are so lucky, for a relatively small island we had a lot to see, cheers...Andy&Michelle
Some great footage and scenery there, looks like you had great weather. You made great time on the hill, I'd probably have stopped for a couple of snoozes and done it in 12 hours 🤣👍
We were lucky with the weather, just timing it right - things change so quickly on the mountains - I'm sure you'd have stopped at the for a nice cup of tea 🤣 Cheers...Andy&Michelle
Hi guys, really enjoyed this vlog. We love wales 🏴 so much and have never been to any of the places so have added them to our list. Can’t wait for the next episode 🥰 take care Sarah
Glad you enjoyed it Sarah 😊 as soon as it cools down to a bearable temperature I'll be inside again making the next instalment 😀 cheers Andy&Michelle 😍
My first video after meeting with you at Van Life Festival. This vlog is fantastic in its presentation. Very entertaining. Enjoy. I have a piccy of Andy and Lynn from VLF, don't know how to post it?
Hi John, great to meet you at the festival 😀 its good to hear you enjoyed our first video from Wales😊 You can post a picture onto our facebook page by posting it on an existing picture we have already posted e.g. this one from the weekend facebook.com/photo/?fbid=913209659612023&set=pb.100027689931641.-2207520000. Alternatively you can Direct Message us with Facebook Messenger 😀 Cheers...Andy&Michelle
Editing is brilliant scenery is amazing you guys are the best mucho❤❤❤❤
Thanks 😍 very kind of you to say 😀😀😀 cheers…Andy&Michelle
Great video guys, we're just back from Spain. Just did the one hike from your Pyrenees trip - Alquezar - excellent. Saving the others for 2023 :)
Thanks Jeff 😊 always good to leave something for the return visit! Alquezar must have been seriously hot! Cheers...Andy&Michelle
We explored Barmouth and Fairbourne quite a few years back when our kids were in their mid-teens, our base was just outside of Bala. The sandy beaches, clear shallow waters and mountain backdrops are beautiful. The cycle track to Barmouth provides much better views than the road link. At 6:30 you appear to be very close to Blue Lake - an old quarry with a blue (from dissolved natural minerals) tinted pool. Sadly the entrance has now been sealed due to misuse by the public (mostly littering) but you can view it from the top and there are rusty remnants of old quarrying equipment strewn around.
Thats interesting about the quarry, we had seen a quarry on TH-cam in this area which is accessed through a short tunnel and had it on our list to find one day, maybe its the same one? Will take a look the next time we are in the area 😀 cheers...Andy&Michelle
@@ExtremeMotorhomingAdventures That's the one but I believe the farmer/landowner blocked the access tunnel. You can still view from the perimeter and get the drone in there. Your cycle path was just above it by 400 metres as you passed but it's hidden by the contour of the land. The video brought back some treasured memories so thanks for posting.
Brilliant, thanks for that, will take the drone up next time, will help me find it😀
Great vlog love wales and you have give me some great ideas for my next trip.
Did you do a quick change act in the restaurant looks like a change of clothing and hair style 🤔
Thanks Michael, great to hear we've given you some ideas. Yes the continuity in the restaurant was a shock to us when we watched it back, does look a bit weird! its all from the same meal - it was getting cold sat outside so Michelle put an extra layer on - didn't notice the hair , oh dear!🤣 Cheers...Andy&Michelle
"Just down there"... It's a bit of a slog over the top! - one of my favourite bike rides. Do you take your car with your motorhome to a lot of places to go to?
It is a great ride there, we really enjoyed it but thank goodness for the "e" in our bikes!!😀 one we'll definitely do again when we are in the area😀 We almost never take the car but we combined the trip with a bit of house hunting, cheers...Andy&Michelle
Was going to suggest coed y brenin and then boom part 2 😁 also try Nant y arian near Aberystwyth nice campsite called woodlands near devils bridge #walesneverfails 😁
Thanks Tony - like a bit of Boom! Just pinned the biking and camping you recommend for the future so thanks for that 👍 Cheers...Andy&Michelle
@@ExtremeMotorhomingAdventures it's also a Red Kite feeding centre 😁
Yes saw that when I looked at the map👍 plenty to see and do there 😀
Great cycle path, could you advise the brand of rucksacks that you have? thanks
Yes...it was a really nice ride, our rucksacks are Lowe Alpine, we've had them quite a few years now but they have served well, they are vented and have space for a water reservoir, Cheers...Andy&Michelle
Great vids guys thanks 😊 looking to head over that way later this year, quick question .. take it you used the car to park for the walk up cader idirs ?? Do you think it’s possible to park a motorhome there for a few hours while we do the walk ??
Thanks 😊, it used to be a stopover so should be ok to park while you do the hike, we don’t remember seeing any height barriers when we were there but there are signs saying no overnight, there’s a CL site very close too on search for sites😀 cheers..Andy&Michelle
@@ExtremeMotorhomingAdventures amazing thanks 😊 🤙🏼

You have a beautiful country 😀👍cheers.. Andy&Michelle
Love your videos! We visited north wales earlier on in the year and attempted mount snowdon with 3 kids and a dog! The video is on our channel if you wanted to check it out!
We have subscribed to your channel. Keep up the good videos!
Hi, we've just checked out your Snowdon video 😀 we applaud you for attempting it with 3 kids and a dog! 👏 Cheers...Andy&Michelle
Nice ......but not Pyrenees!!!
Thanks Ian, the Pyrenees take some beating but we have a lot of love for both 😀 Cheers...Andy&Michelle
