WILD CAMPING TRYFAN Sleeping Under The Mountain & The Milky Way + Bonus Falling Into A River
The plan is I'm going to find somewhere to camp tonight, get back to the car in the morning
because the road is actually really close by here, swap my rucksack for a day bag and
have a little go at Trefan. So Trefan is 917 meters of pure crazy. They say it's the only
mountain in Wales that you need the use of your hands to get to the summit and there's no easy
way up it. So if I do get to have a go at the mountain tomorrow, I'm not going to be doing
the North Ridge because that's way too scary for me. I'm going to be doing the Heather Terrace
which you can see is a natural rock formation that traverses the east side of the mountain
and then joins onto the South Ridge up to the summit. Now this is still a really hard route
but it's less difficult than the other options so we'll see what tomorrow brings. I don't know
if I'm going to be able to try going up at all because of the weather but it's just nice to be
here and for tonight I'm going to find somewhere nice to pitch up and hopefully get a nice rest
and just enjoy the evening.
Fine, I did get a drench in. My shoes are drenched, my socks are drenched, my top's drenched, just on
the back of my rucksack, hanging off to dry. Silly mistakes like that down here, not so much for an
issue. Up there, could be fatal so I'm glad that happened down here. It's a good wake-up call as
well, sort of remind me to be careful. So yeah, everything happens for a reason right. I'll find
somewhere to camp. This is my camping spot for tonight, one of the most beautiful ones yet.
Hi guys, so I'm all set up and I think I'm going to try and get some sleep now because I want to
get up about 11 and see if I can start time-lapse. I don't know if it's going to be overcast or not
but I'll have a go and I can just do it right here, um, aimed over Trafalgar so that'll be
amazing. So yeah, I'm tired so I'm gonna get a little bit of rest hopefully and I'll see you guys
a bit later. I don't know if I'm gonna be able to sleep in daylight but I'm gonna try. So I didn't
manage to sleep but the sky's cleared and I've got time-lapse going. I found the Milky Way so
I'm hoping it'll come out okay. So pretty. Morning guys, I had about three hours sleep last night
which sounds terrible but I'm actually quite pleased with that. I'm having one of those spells
at the moment where I thought I was gonna get like nothing. So three hours is okay, I feel okay.
It's a beautiful morning. Japan is just coming out the clouds now. Really gorgeous. Someone was going
up the North Ridge last night. See a light going up. Oh my god, crazy. So I don't know what today's
gonna hold. I'm gonna have breakfast and get some water and head back to the car and change my huge
rucksack for a little day bag. I learned that mistake with Snowdon. I don't want to do it with
a massive lump on my back so I'll have a little go and if I only get a little way up that's fine.
Just see how it goes really because it looks absolutely terrifying. It just looks insane
because I can see the ridge all the way up like the ledge
of the Heba Terrace and it just looks from here like you'd just fall off it but obviously
you know it's deceiving isn't it because that ledge will be a lot wider than it actually looks
from here. So yeah, we'll see. Look at that, the summit's clearing. You can just see right at the top there
there's two little rocks sticking up. They are called Adam and Eve. Legend has it that anyone
that's brave enough to jump from one to the other receives the freedom of Trafalgar. You can
see the Heba Terrace as it goes along up like that and then up the south ridge up to the summit.
You see my tent? It's just there. Time to get packed up. We're on our way. I'm back at the car so I'm just
gonna swap my overnight bag for my day bag. Okay guys, I'm gonna get packed up now so I will see
you in part two and we'll see what this mountain has in store. So thank you for watching and I'll see you soon. Bye!
