Really excellent video Paul! A fantastic start to your epic walk along the Severn. Really informative and interesting and beautiful scenery. Looking forward to future episodes of your adventure along the Severn.

Just came across this video accidentally and could not stop watching Thank you for the insights After the Severn Way will start watching the Cotswolds Way

Hello Paul - greetings from Poland I couldn't resist breaking away from looking at your back catalogue. This looks to be a cracking walk and by the look on your face, one you are really enjoying. An absolutley wonderful video on the source of the River Severn. Your still photographs were fabulous. Your commentary so informative and your historical facts, fantastic. The scenery was very impressive despite the rain snow and hail! I know you got very wet and probably cold. Thanks so much for producing this brilliant vlog. Can't wait for the next part .

Hi Paul - I really enjoyed your video. Beautiful scenery and I am looking forward to the rest of the series. Take care x

Great new video Paul, love how much work you put into your videos 😊😉 this was wonderful 😊

Excellent commentary

Lovely scenery, Paul, yes I did enjoy that! Sorry you got soaked!

This was wonderful, beautifully filmed and well narrated, I learned so much I didn’t know.. shame about the rain and snow but you made it to the source and that’s a fantastic achievement 👍🏻👍🏻

Hi Paul well done on that walk 😀👍

Brilliant video, very brave of you to hang on the the terrible weather at the source.

THANK YOU PAUL, SORRY YOU GOT WET HOPE THE REST ARE DRY. REGARDS RICHARD.

Great job Paul. Thanks for sharing this. Looking forward to the rest of this series.

Only just investigated this series, what a great idea for a walk, it's so strange to think of the severn as this little (albeit fast running) stream. I'm so used to seeing it below the severn bridges where it's huge! I better get a snack, I have a lot of catching up to do 😁

Well done with the Welsh translations and a really good start to The Severn Way

I met you on the lane, enjoyed part one, looking forward to part two

very nice video sir you are a great creater thanks for sharing this video full watched❤❤❤❤❤

I know what you mean by the book talking to you Paul. There it was willing you to be curious and I'm glad you took up the challenge. It's a great river. I've walked the Wye and the Severn has appealed to. And I've walked Plynlimon many times so this video and adventure grabbed my attention straight away. Lovely walk up with real interesting information shared. Good on you for sucking it up on top. You were going to get dry later. I recommend a walk over to Plynlimon. Well, good going. I'm on board to follow this one. All the best. Mark

Loved the video Paul really calm and informative and great clear video. Im looking at having a go at this myself.

Fantastic presentation 👍

Loved this video paul,love the info on the shed seen one like that before and always wondered what it was for?never knew it was to measure water,which now makes sense to me,sorry waffleing.loved this .hope you have a lovely bank holiday and stay safe debs xx

Hi Paul, a great start for a trip along the River Severn. I can vouch for the rapid change in the weather in Wales. In the 1960s a group of us from the cycling club were close to that area over the Whitsun Bank Holiday (now called the Spring bank holiday). We left the Youth Hostel at Hay-on-Wye in glorious sunshine wearing shorts and tee shirts and headed off to the Black Mountains. When we were almost at the summit the weather changed to snow, that was cold on bare arms and legs. Fortunately it wasn't long before we started to descend back into warm sunshine, it was certainly a shock to the system. Looking forward to following your adventures along the Severn Way and see you in Ironbridge 😊

I love your videos and this one is of particular interest to me as my parents had a place in Ystumtuen . This was way back in the fifties and sixties when the children didn’t speak English until they went to school. Nant a Moche dam was built during this time and the houses in the valley were flooded over by the new reservoir. I climbed up Plynlimon from this point a couple of times in search of the source of the Seven and the Wye. Excuse my spelling of the Welsh name it’s a long time since I was there. The county at that time was called Cardiganshire. By the way you really must try harder with your pronunciation of the Welsh names.

Very well done Paul. I saw a TV documentary on the Severn source to sea, it wasn't half as good as this or as informative, I'm learning a lot. Thanks. Ron

Paul, did you truly say you were going to cover The Severn Way “All The Way”? I hope you have some good hiking shoes. 226 Miles, my feet are starting to hurt just thinking about it. What a brilliant video concept. Absolutely chock full of information. Can’t wait to see the rest of the series!

Hello Paul. Thanks for all the video's you do. We really enjoy watching, especially those about canals and railways. Speaking of which, I think you mentioned the towpath at the Ocean being open. Is it? If so we'll be up there very soon. Cheers, Fee and Paul

Fantastic project, Paul! How long was your day may I ask? 4 1/2 hours from that sign to the source seems an overstatement; just 7 miles and those paths looked blissfully well maintained. Is it deceptive though? Nicholas Crane on his long hikes always packs a large umbrella, I’ve read, despite looking odd sticking out his rucksack. I’ve thought about it on occasions but, like you, I just get wet. 🙂 Looking forward to the next episode.

Hi Paul, couldn't resist coming back to the start to see the source and of course to learn about Sobrina!! You looked soaked but happy to have got to the source. I hope you didn't catch a cold, you looked good on the next day, in the next video. I don't know mid Wales at all, I've hiked the Breacon Beacons and Snowden and done part of the coastal path near St David's and visited a few of the narrow gauge railways. This place looked just as great and maybe quieter. Thanks very much for taking me along. The most spectacular river source I have seen out here is the River Mundo. It exits a cave system high up in a very steep valley end. The waterfalls are really beautiful. Now in certain conditions the water comes spurting out at great velocity up to 80,000 litres per second this gives you an idea kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h713gKWprN-4dmQ.html. The river makes its way out to the Mediterranean not far from where I used to live but it seeps out in a trickle totally different to the magnificence of the Severn. The waters are taken for irrigation as you can imagine, further down stream you will find lots of waterwheels (I have posted a couple) there is also a rice growing area. Thunderstorms today and lots of snow higher up. This is really good news more is forecast, let's hope it doesn't cause any unwanted problems. Have a great weekend.
