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...

Epic Cornwall Wild camping Cape Cornwall St Just Penzance YHA Bad weather 50mph gusts on the coast.

Image
I camped in a old quarry under Kenidjack Cliff Castle that night was 50mph gusts. Today i went back into St just to get the First Kernow bus into Penzance. Buses in Cornwall are not cheap but i am sure they use to be. In Penzance i went to the Library to charge my gear up but hey you say you was going stay at the YHA penzance but i say you can not check into 1700 which made it pointless stopping there but i only was made clear about that after i had paid online. I could have and would have camped on the moors as the wind was going to die down later and i charge my gear up at the Library anyhow. Since i paid i stopped the night there least i got a shower and it was warm but was more of a dribble of water than a power shower. The hostel was clean and kitchen. It was only £10 for a night camping.

5 Barrows wild camping spring equinox 2019

Image
Isle of wight England UK I paid a visit to Church of Saint Mary the Virgin Brook where i charged my batteries for one hour. Lovely church be sure to leave a good donation if doing such a thing. Today i walked part the coast path to Freshwater bay. Top tip there a a massive COOP supermarket there is a good one apart from the fact they ripped my of with there food deal or at the very least mislead me into thinking i had the food deal i know all supermarkets do it do check your receipts do not let them get away with it. They do have a local produce of the island section worth a look. From here walked up though the golf course at Compton down where some one naughty had drawn a male member onto one the sandpits made me laugh. Pass the golf course was the Brook Down Five Barrows which is where i celebrated Spring Equinox 2019. I camped near by respecting the ancient remains. Please subscribe. This channel is for you.

Mosedale cottage bothy to Great langdale campsite

Image
Lake district Day 5 Cumbria England UK Had a lack of sleep at the party house Mosedale cottage bothy where large group of lads turned up at around 1am off there faces and still awake when i left about 9am. Is the Lake district i should known better not really as remote as some other bothies i mean you could even drive up there in a 4wd which i am sure people do. I still think the more remote bothies elsewhere still ok for hikers rather than pissheads and pillheads. Still not wanting sound boring i hope they had a great time. I walked across Mosedale in the wind and rain towards Shap. Dropped my rubbish of there in a street bin. There are no buses in Shap on a Saturday so in end i decided to hitchhike. I have almost 30 years of hitchhiking experience i should do a video on that at some point. Normally small places easy get lift but cities i would not even bother trying now. So i hitchhiked to Penrith where i got the bus to Keswick hoping to stay the Caravan and camping club there. ...

Lake district Bothies Wild camping Digital Hoboing Winter time.

Image
Lake district Cumbria England UK One week winter adventure digital hoboing. After a long train and bus trip i headed along Great Langdale near to Great Langdale hanging knotts  for a first nights wild camp. Second night headed to Great Lingy hill in the Lake District’s Northern Fells for a night at Great Lingy Hut bothy which is on the Cumbria Way. Warnscale Head and Dubs hut bothies was next on the menu up towards Honister Slate Mine. Also just off Wainwright's Coast to Coast Walk. I did not get to stay in them as they both was full i think these bothies are more holiday homes than walkers shelter as there not to far of the roads shame would be cool to stop there but they are for every body not just for me :). I ended up camping by them. Next was Mosedale Cottage which you think to far of for people high on pills and drink but at 1am in the morning i was awoke by people as high as a kite. Still glad they had a great time. That is the thing to remember people can arrive a...
