3 Days Solo Wild Camping and Backpacking - Part 1 - the Welsh 3000's!
Рет қаралды 6,635
Жыл бұрынHere is my 3 Days Solo Wild Camping and Backpacking video. In this video I backpack the Carneddau Mountains in Snowdonia. I'm hiking the Welsh 3000's with my 16kg backpacking bag with the aim of wild camping near Llyn Anafon at the end.
I'm solo backpacking and solo camping so I must be fully self-sufficient and take all the camping gear I need with me including all my backpacking kit for cold and wet weather.
The solo backpacking trip starts hiking Pen yr Ole Wen which is very challenging carrying weight. The elevation reaches it's maximum at Carnedd Llewelyn about halfway from my wild camping uk location.
Main hiking and backpacking gear items include:
Osprey UNLTD backpacking bag
Hilleberg Akto backpacking tent
Black Ice down sleeping bag
Big Agnes Rapide SL insulated sleeping mat
Nemo Fillo Elite pillow
Jetboil Flash
Mountain Equipment Lightline jacket
Fjallraven Vida Pro trousers
Salomon Element hiking boots
Rab Capacitor fleece
Thru Dark t-shirt
Day 1 Summits include:
Pen yr Ole Wen
Carnedd Daffyd
Carnedd Llewelyn
Foel Grach
Carnedd Gwenllian
Foel Fras

I've recently begun wild camping in the UK (moved here a year ago from Australia) and hadn't done much hiking or camping before. I've had 2 successful 1 night wild camps, and I've got a whole new appreciation for how much planning and endurance goes in to a trip like this. Carrying 13+ kilograms up steep mountain terrain, far from civilization, while the weather is ever changing. All while keeping that mental and physical fortitude together. Great video mate, a lot of respect for what you do!

You know it! Lots of people don’t realise though, it’s certainly not a walk in the park but it’s very rewarding!

It was really windy to start off with (you can hear it!) but I was fortunate it backed off as the forecast predicted. It would have been a totally different experience if it hadn’t!

Having spent a night on the Rapide SL (regular wide) myself, I can vouch for its comfort. I used the Alpkit Skyehigh 900 bag. So warm. What a cracking view to wake up to. Haven't been to Wales since my 30s now 55. Dunno whether I could cope with all those rocks underfoot. Nice one Andy.

Rate the Sun to watchs, I have a Sunnto 5, not as good as the 9, but the bread crumb trail for GPS has worked really well for me, although I will say the Sunnto app for planning the route isn't the best, I tend to use the os Map app for that. Good Video Andy 😊

Really comfy and I love the clamshell design. Crazy money though! The Osprey Atmos is very close but a fraction of the cost. That’s where my money would go.
