On a personal note, I would just like to say thank you for joining us on a 2 night adventure in Snowdonia. People/viewers only see what they see on film, they never see a behind the scenes. What I'm really trying to say is you're a great guy, full of ambition and a person that would do anything for anyone. One good thing I love about being am amatuer content creator is not just uploading video, but the community surrounding it. I have met some great guys from KZfaq and this includes yourself who I'm happy to say is not just a fellow content creator, but a great friend. Anyway, enough of the soppy talk, I have an image to uphold 🤣🤣 Here's to the next adventure 🍻🍺

Great location, interesting friendly video as always. Glad you opened up about body confidence, in my opinion it's about the confidence not the fit healthy body with friendly smile. Don't forget if you feel people are looking it's probably for all the right reasons, your wife obviously liked what she saw in you a lot and it's your opinion and hers that matter most. I understand it isn't easy but if you can relax and gain confidence it would be great because it's an anxiety that's upsetting but not rational your a healthy good looking bloke, enjoy being you.

Its very brave of you to talk about body confidence because we men generally don't want to talk about stuff like that. In any case you don't look fat or ugly or anything so I don't think you have anything to worry about... I spent well over a year trying to pluck up the confidence to make a channel because I thought people wouldn't like it and I was very pleasantly surprised by the positive comments I received.

Being a lifeguard for 14 years. I have heard alot about body confidence, and i have a little advice that might help. Ive noticed everyone is self conscious about something and all of them people are too busy being worried about what others think. But what everyone is thinking is just the same. They are worried that your thinking of what they look like. So have the confidence to what makes you happy and walk like your invisible. Because no one is thinking of your personal issues. They're too bothered about their own. Hope this makes sence and i hope this helps at least one person to feel free to be less body confident. And someone is judging you then let karma deal with them. And feel sorry for them because they're probably deflecting attention away from they're own body confident issues. Awesome video i stay at shell island down the road from nantkol waterfalls. Ive always wanted to stay there.

@@BrendanExplores . I'll let you in to a secret ... at the grand Old age of 50, I can promise you that there are always times you may feel insecure about body image etc. That's just being human, good days and bad days. But what I will say is when you get older, you get a little past caring what society dictates as beautiful or perfect and you realise that the other parts of you are far more important and society is a MAN-made construct after all! If you're a good person, who is kind to others, has patience, empathy and a drive for their passion then your godamn near perfect as a human being. So ... as you were Brendan ... godamn near perfect, body shape an all! 🙏

Hi Brendan, Thanks for your down to earth videos, you've inspired me to convert my 2012 grand scenic, hope you don't mind me using your single bed idea with drop down rear table, so I can use the rear seat like you have. I thought about fitting the bed top onto a box instead of the metal legs in the boot area so some kind of drawer system could be fitted, maybe it could have the table top when pulled out for the cooker ? Lots of things to think about now but thank you for the inspiration and enthusiasm you've given me 😊

Think I know that park up. Is it right at the top of the road from the back of Bala and then it goes back down to Dinas Mawddwy? You can also take a turn back to Lake Vyrnwy up there too? Or am I way off....these places can look the same?Anyway, was in Wales again this Fri/Sat. I'm self-employed so usually go on quieter days Mon/Tue, but I'm looking for a flat to buy and so have been trotting off to Wales even more frequently including weekends now. Found another epic road. Off the main Caenarfon road A487 (Llyn peninsular) there's the B4418, goes passed a place called Nantile and then onto an A-road to Bedgellert. That is a highly scenic valley road between some impressive slabs of rock. A bit like the little brother to the Llanberis Pass, but more green. Enjoyed the video. BTW - I get self-conscious sometimes, because I'm quite fashion conscious and tend to wear 'cool' clothes and stand out in a crowd. I can tell people are thinking who's this big headed cunt. Been like that since I was into The Stone Roses in the early 90s and had longer hair in a guitar band at Sheffield University, but I'm not changing for other people. I can pretend I'm in The Strokes, if I want to!
