Day Three on the The Cambrian Way mountain trail 479 km (298 miles) with a total ascent of 22,460 m (73,700 ft). I think it could be Britain's hardest long distance trail. Its hard to say but looking at the map i think i started todays episode around the Mynydd Garnclochdy area i want give exact camping locations away. I was so wet from the rain all night i set about getting ready to walk around 4am just to keep warm. I was no risk at cold from the time of Year and in good health. So walked back up towards Mynydd Garnclochdy i think. The rain came back on top the hill. The rain was very bad so much so i could only see about couple of meters ahead what with the mist as well as the dark even with two powerful lights. By this time my cannon camera was destroyed by the weather i should know by now and my phone was useless take note people think phone navigation fine lucky i know this i used my garmin fenix3 gps watch with the track loaded onto so i knew i was heading in the general dir

The Cambrian Way. Day 11. Hardest long distance trail in Britain.
First of sorry about the shaky camera work and terrible sound. This was filmed before i upgraded to gopro 7 and gimbal. The gimbal is now broke and i still need a microphone that handles wind on the gopro 7. I also badly need more hard drives ideally i need four 8gb hard drives but for now one will have to do. If i do not get these there maybe a big hold on future videos until i do unless i can get the funs together as i this is a hobby not a job.

I camp by Llyn Trawsfynydd reservoir. In 1965 the reservoir became the source for cooling water for the Trawsfynydd nuclear power station. Yeah but i am sure a filter be just fine right haha. In 1991 the nuclear power station was shut down. It is now in the process of decommissioning. Work will be completed in 2083. Since the plant's closure, the lake's water temperature has cooled to natural levels allowing fauna and flora to regenerate. Shame i would saved on gas using radioactive water for my coffee. So anyways i camped with a view of a more advanced past than the backwards future we have now. I made my way up the official route until near the ridge part as i was being hit with what say was 60mph wind not gusts it was almost impossible to stand up at times. Clearly i am not going on a long long ridge walk in that kind of weather so i made my way to the other side the mountain. I managed to get some good wind shelter by a dry stone wall. Even managed to get some drone footage. There was one very slippy full flowing stream bridge to cross which was like ice so had to take the bag apart and crawl along it. The views was great even in the bad weather.

Any one taking on this route will have good navigation skills ok with strong winds on steep ridge walks. Have a very good level of fitness. I have personally found this trail to be the hardest in Britain. I found it even more hard than the Te Aroara trail in New Zealand which is much longer. Which i both carried 40 to 50kg on my back.
