- In this video, I am over in Mid Wales on an off road overland adventure with Andy from Kent Survival. We are driving along an ancient drovers road from the old Abbey of Ystrad Fflur, a rough and challenging track with technical climbs, axle twisting rocky features and water, lots of water!
With a relaxed wild camp in our roof tents along the way, big burgers, good beer and superb company, it was a fantastically good fun weekend.
I hope you enjoy the video.
Thanks for watching.

This will make you laugh. I was watching this video and my 9yo daughter came in to watch it with me. She asked me if I was watching Simon a Bloke in the woods and I said yes. She then asked me pointing at Andy ‘is that Simon’s dad’. I laughed out loud. Maybe don’t tell Andy…😂😂😂
Simon and Andy, you are the Dream Team! So many fantastic adventures together,
These two are my favorites and always enjoy when they do a video together. They seem to have so much fun.
I have to agree 👍
They are awesome
You and Andy make a fine team! I wish you had more time to get out together these days! I watched each of your videos. You captured the best bits and dialog. Andy running back with a camera brought the reality of TH-cam camp videos 'home!'
“The boys are back in town”
Modifications: You RULE! The hatch is brilliant. Your earlier work, including the plumbing, is just right.
I’m so happy watching Simon and Andy adventure together 😍Thank you for sharing 🙏
"It's gripped"
"Sorted"
"Let's off-road"
😁
I came here looking for this comment😂
😂😂😂
the old girl survived 🤣!!
Andy's was first out and couldn't wait for your version. You two guys remind me of my close friends. We just enjoy being around one another and it's apparent you two do as well.
I always enjoy both of your guys content.
We enjoyed watching Andy’s version of your adventure and have been looking forward to seeing your film as we always watch both Simon.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!. A new video from the man, now that's altogether better.
I have been counting the days for your video. You proved that your Landrover handled that drive perfectly well. That hatch is incredible! Great upgrade Simon. You are a man of many talents.
After a long day at work there’s nothing better than sitting down and watching Simon and Andy hanging out in the wild.Thanks guys
I agree, I don't even care if they don't do anything just as long as they are together in the woods hanging out.
Simon and Andy are my favorite.
Be there right with them would one up that 🙂
Always tuning in to both your channels. Thank you for the entertainment and appreciate all the work that goes into making the videos 🙏
I envy the both of you, Simon and Andy. As an old geezer (82 yrs) here in the US, all of my camping partners have passed or not able to camp anymore. I would love to camp with the two of you sometime, but that is not possible. Enjoy your life and make all the memories you can. Some day it will end and you will have to reflect back on those memories. Cheers from the US.
The roof tent modification is brilliant Simon, absolutely top notch 👍
The sound of that diesel just makes me smile 🙂 thanks for the excellent video, looked like great fun!
Oh my GOSH to see Simon & Andy together. Do you realize how much we miss you two it seems like last year but Simon has done one. We know you have been busy. Cheers you 2😊 have fun-filled wk end . you two like to get into everything.
I wasn't hungry until I watched you eating those sausage rolls and then I remembered I've got sausages. I am now content.
I watched this trip from Andy's side of the camera and now it's fun to see it from your view Simon, more of these are the ticket!! Thank you
Get in!!! Well that’s my wet Wednesday evening sorted 👍😁
Tea, beer and Simon’s new video 🏕️ 🍻
Hasn’t stopped raining all day where I am in the Midlands!
And me! Ditto!
Same in Glasgow, road floods all around my local area. 💀
Vancouver Canada 🇨🇦 raining on an off chilly !
❤ so good to see you back on your channel Simon and in such a good shape ❣️ obviously your break was badly needed as I recognize your sparkling eyes are back 😂
i love it when you two camp together
Great trip and location ❤
The hatch is an excellent adaption - even permits washing up while standing! 😊
Your Landy must be the only one of its kind in the world 🗺️ brilliant!!
Good to see you and Andy back out there in the wild again thanks for another great video 😂
I Love Wednesday again 🤣
Keep up with the great work Simon 😍
Great adventure Simon your smiles really show how much fun you both were having. Wales is a beautiful country and one I'm happy to call my home. Mid Wales is very wild and with very little light pollution the night sky can be very emotional. Many thanks ❤
Stunning area! I’ll be back!! 😁
All iam going to say Simon
Is thank you very much .
That was amazing adventure again with Andy your two together are a brilliant team
But saying that you always make a great team with anyone. Good to have you back pal
And thank you
So glad to see you back sharing your adventures with us. BTW I love the music at the beginning and end of each video. Thanks for sharing.
Love it when Dynamic Duo work together. You are both so good together.
I must say I love the way it faded with the camp fire still flaming.
That was pure chance! My camera couldn’t decide on what ISO setting was best 😂
Both videos from you two fellas were absolutely fantastic!..I love your comradeship!..very very awesome video ❤️🤘🏻
Wasn’t sure I would enjoy a 4-wheeler blog adventure, but I did! I think Wales and the beautiful (and desolate) landscape was the star of the show. Love your roof tent modifications!
Get in! Have been waiting for this one Simon. Happy Wednesday everyone :)
Glad to see another video from you sir! Well done!
Love the new mod' to the Landy that's a clever little addition.
Simon & Andy are like a couple of teenagers wh3n they get together it's awesome 👌. I absolutely love you two gentlemen. Keep up the good work my friends...
You were lucky to get away with broken glasses!
The Defender is impressive. With your set up you could travel the world.
So good to have you back Simon and with Andy too. Perfect!
Kent Survival and Simon a Bloke in the Woods you can’t get better Brilliant
Those weren’t roads, they were creeks!😂 I love how squared away you guys are! You make camping into glamping! Great vid.😊
It's a very sturdy vehicle you have there Simon. You and Andy always make a great team. Great video once again 👏
Its great seeing the british bush-boys back together again!
Absolutely brilliant video - love the mods to the Landy roof tent! Great to see you both back in Vids together, you seam to bounce well of each other. I also like how despite being on the same trip, your videos are always slightly different to each other - keep them coming !
Brings a huge smile to my face every time I see a WTB mug in a Landy video. Glad you're still getting some use out of them dude😉
'Little life, Little pan ' got me cracking
watching yours and Andy's videos has inspired me to take up camping!
Landy for me ❤
LOVE to see you and Andy together! And your obvious love of being out on the wild paths is infectious! Way cool to enter your roof tent from inside your truck1. Nice! I love your videos...so artistic, great music...and all around a peaceful and exciting adventure you share with us! Thanks so very much and ATB!
Best pairing on YTube, always a great watch.
No messing about simon full speed into everything haha
Wonderful...as was Andy's video. 😃😉
Great video again Simon it’s great to see you out and about again and your hatch is just pure genius. 👌🏼❤️🏴🏴
Back from holiday so it’s catch up with Simon in his new video. That looked so much fun. Quite the challenge. The conversion in the Land Rover makes it a lot easier to go to bed
I’m always impressed about how well organized you are. 😀
I really enjoy watching your adventures!
Offtoad vehicles and their human companions in their natural habitat, what a treasure to watch
Land Rover fangirl here, smiled the whole video long ❤️
Yay for more Simon and Andy 💜
Done that on my bike awesome trail and wonderful scenery. 👍🏻
SUPER DUPER EXCITING!!!!! I love when you two get together.
Thank you Simon that was wonderful
Thanks Simon. I always enjoy the background music you pick, compliments the video images nicely.
Just good to see you out and well bud :)
.....you and Andy, make it great viewing.
A couple of blokes cocking about and drinking beer......job done.😎☯️🌱
Love watching you two guys together. Thank you, Andy and Simon! Great Adventures!!
A fantastic trip. Beautiful scenery you showed.
That hatch mod made me actually say “WOW!”.
Great trip Simon, thanks for sharing. atb
Oh yes! Good old Land Rover doing what a Land Rover does best. Great location and no rain!! You sure you were in Wales? lol 👊
You gota do this again on the other trails loved it👍
I made this epic adventure myself a few years back. You brought back some great memories. Thank you
Simply the best outdoors team 👍
I'll have to watch tonight. But I will comment to say hi for now
Top video as usual Simon. If you look at the video at 33.12 minutes where you are fording the larger river crossing, there is a gate in the fence. There is a Bothy 200 yards up the hill. Just follow the little stream and you would have seen it. Ah well, maybe next time. Handy for winter camp out. Top content. Keep it up
We saw the bothy - a trip for another time me thinks! 😁
I would watch you two camp anywhere! This looks like it was a wonderful adventure! I worried you two might go "Dukes of Hazzard" on a couple of those challenging obstacles, but was delighted to see that everything turned out well. Thank you both so much for taking the time to make such wonderful content! It inspires me to get out there. It's been a hard, depressing beginning to the year in our neck of the woods, but things are starting to take a turn for the better. So you two are just want the Doctor ordered! Hope you both and your families are doing well! Take care and be safe out there. So much looking forward to your next excursion! 👍👍❤❤😊😊
When I saw you and Andy together, I knew this was going to be a great one and you guys did not disappoint. Thank you so much for taking us along on this trip. I had a wonderful time. Can't wait for the next trip.
What a trip that was good old Land Rover, fantastic video buddy.
Excellent video Simon thank you.
Another great vid please keep them coming...
Awesome ❤️
Hello Simon beautiful video
Awesome 👍🔥
Yesssss I love watching your version and Kent’s
I’m biased and I’m die hard Simon fan for life but kent got us all thru that dry spell when you had well earned time off
Hes my number two choice
We all have favs haha :)
Plus your rover is so cool !! Proper old school charm
Thanks for all you do sir
so much fun!
Glad to have you back doing your thing and making videos for us to enjoy. 😊🤙
On a side note. Always loved how organized you are. Everything has its place, and it always goes back where it belongs. I'm the same way, and it's always nice to see you are, too. 👍
Don’t scratch the paint guys🇺🇸
Simon, your filming and choice of music is awesome.
Did Andy get first dibs on the twangy background music? Good to see some off-roading and minor rock crawling! 👍
Top tier content boss!
Great video love it when you two are out together
What more could one want: great company, food, location and weather. It was such a joy to watch you enjoy life 👍. Thank you Simon and stay safe 🙏
I'm only about 4 minutes in, and I can't help thinking of the two off-roading characters from The Fast Show... 😀
Sitting way down south watching two boys having fun, classic! Love the Landy, the mods, the simple cupboard fittings… the trail was a nice one, not too technical but enjoyable nonetheless. Great editing!
Watching both of your videos on this trip was fantastic. Love it
This was an awesome trip!!!! Thank you!! Be safe. Good to see Andy again
WOW< that was a wild ride!!! You and Adny are always so entertaining together, and how great is it to have a buddy with whom you test your mettle on those roads!! Have seen Andy's version and have been very keen to see yhours!
The landrover makes it look like a walk in the park
Watching this one again ! What an adventure !❤
You'll have crossed over the Wye to start this adventure Simon. A lot of the water that makes up the river comes from the Cambrian Mountains, which you were in - the last wilderness of Wales. Trust me if you explored more you'd see how gnarly this place gets. You were right to say it was awesome out there. A fantastic drive with good company. All the best. Mark
Superb absolutely superb, nothing like getting completely away from everything🎉🎉
Love seeing you two together
Oh joy! Simon is my number 1 in the bushcraft/wild camping department. Always the classiest videos. I love the hatch what a cool idea, now I know what you were doing all winter 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
