Cheers Its a great area to go I enjoy it even more so this time of year with the heather in full bloom. The...

A wild camp to remember
After a pretty uneventful year of camping thanks to covid I saw a window in to get out and do a camp. I was back at work after quite a while off but only doing half days so come midday I headed up to the nearest decent mountain Tal y fan in North Wales. I had a problem though as my normal off road b...

Camping on Gryn Wigau on the Carneddau North Wales
So as I have a bit of time off work I thought I would make the most of it and get the train to Bangor and head up to the Carneddau. Woke up feeling a bit rough but was not going to let that stop me and started to head up the mountains. The day was very hot and no breeze made it hard work at times an...

Scotland tour to Burley whag bothy
So I managed to get a lift to Dumfries Scotland and did a wee tour of the area with plenty of places to see and go. Passed quite a few Castles and abbeys and was lucky enough to get a night to myself in the bothy which was an amazing place. The night turned pretty grim in the Bothy but had a nice fi...
