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

A wild camp on the the best border view in the British isles
I got the S6 stagecoach bus from Oxford to Swindon. Then the Train from Swindon to Newport where i changed trains for Abergavenny. Had a quick look around Abergavenny. Then i got the X3 stagecoach from Abergavenny to Pandy where i will start my walk. From Pandy i crossed into the Brecon beacons national park. Bit a small road walk untill i goto the End to End trail . Offa's dyke path, Beacons way section. It was then on upto Hatterrall Hill trig point where the path becomes with English Welsh border with epic view across into England patchwork farming fields. When i walked John o' groats to Lands end to this was the best wild camping view and i think the best view on the whole of the three and half month hike. I always wanted come back here and do a wild camp again and today was the day. Even with thunder lighting forecast it did not happen as a outdoors person i know weather forecasts are very poor indeed and they tend to over exaggerate to fit there climate change agenda i would think. I camped not far from where i camped back in 2014 on the End to End trail but this time i had camp in a pit due to the amount of wind and my Vango tent would have not stood upto it. Back in 2014 i used the Jack wolfskin gossamer tent its more weight but built like a tent. Folks you do not need spend £800 and a mountain tent and by way if you like camping in exposed areas when a serious storms coming do not think that £800 going keep you alive no tent can survive 100mph winds plus its only as good as ground you put your pegs into. Yeah might make a great youtube video but is worth just make couple pence if that on risking your life. Do not wasted money on a flash mountain tent. Always find the best sheltered pitch specially if a storm is coming its a must. I had the Jack Wolf skin in 60mph gusts in a non shelter spot as some times no choice and the tent did not get trashed but that was the forecast winds does not mean to say that is what i got as i you will note what i said about forecasts. I had a sunset walk along the English welsh border then went back to retire at my tent.
Nothing i say is 100% fact. It is my Opinion freedom of thought. You can disagree with me or agree we are not robots. I am not god :)
