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.

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 th...

Filmed on the 28/05/2017 since then my video skills and equipment has improved alot :) Trotternish is one of the most spectacular landscapes in Britain. The great ridge which forms its backbone is the longest on Skye, and its unique eastern escarpment has been broken by Europe's largest landslides into a remarkable landscape. A very long and challenging walk with much ascent and descent. There are some very steep parts up and down i managed it with a big backpack. You need a good level of fitness and know how to use a map or gps. Is possible to camp up on the ridge but its very exposed make sure you there no storms predicted. This part my Skye trail hike. I did this stage in one go. This stage is hard going if doing in one go with a backpack.
