Pen-y-Crug is an Iron Age Hillfort in the Bannau Brycheiniog National Park, on top you have panoramic views of the central Bannau Brycheiniog. It overlooks the nearby town of Brecon and it gives you great views of the surrounding mountain ranges. 2000 years ago, this hillfort would have been bustling with life. I've visited here many times before, and it has been calling my name for a long time to do a wild camp - it didn't disappoint, the views of the surrounding landscape were incredible! I hope you enjoy the video, if so please feel free to subscribe to join me on my future adventures.
Thanks for stopping by,
Ryan.

An extraordinary video! The drone work at the end was wonderful! Thanks for introducing us to Toby and his heritage. I wouldn’t have guessed him to be 12 years old. My black Lab mix was so full of life at that age. Last August when he was 14 I had to help him cross the rainbow bridge. He was in renal failure. He was my hiking and camping buddy for many years. I miss him so! I hope you have many more years with Toby!🩷

That was a ballsy camp out, mate. For a bet I camped out under Pentre Ifan, a neolithic tomb in the Preseli mountains, Pembrokeshire. Everything went swimmingly until the sun went down and the Preseli ponies started running amok around my camp! After a few cans and a couple of smokes things really got spooky. I swear I heard footsteps and murmers of conversation but every time i poked my head out of my bivvi, nothing there! This repeated itself a number of times throughout the small hours and got too much me and I tapped. Never felt that kind of dread in my life and packing away my gear and the walk out back to my car freaked me out completely! LOL, have you ever had any moments that have freaked you out so much you've had to tap? Loved the video, mate, and you do make some lovely looking dishes even without the meat! Give Toby a pat for me. Cheers

It was a great camp this one, mate, and it was good to tick it off the list. That sounds like a good camp, shame you had to bail. I discovered an awesome Bronze Age cairn in Mid Wales last year, I'm going to camp inside it once the weather's better. I've never had to bail from a camp tbh - I've been in some bad storms, ripped tent, snapped poles, etc, but I've always managed to ride them out. I did camp next to a canal on the outskirts of Glasgow once, I'd just dropped off as the sun set, and I was suddenly awoken by the noise of a canal boat passing by with a rowdy gang of drunken lads on there. As they passed my tent they started shouting abuse and throwing bottles and cans at my tent - they had a shock when I flew out of there and started chasing after their boat throwing their bottles back at them and returning the verbal abuse, ha ha.

Storms, ripped tents and pissed up Glaswegians I can handle but things of a more supernatural nature are a different cuttle of fish, mix that with an over active imagination you have a recipe for absolutely shitting oneself!!

Hope you don't mind me asking, was wondering what regiment you were with, I read you were in the forces on another comments section from one of your earlier videos. My old man was in 26 regiment of the royal artillery and he thought I'd follow him into service as most of my family have a military background. I took the easier option of an electrical apprenticeship! Another overnighter I've been toying with is a night in Twm Sion Canti's cave along the banks of the Towi in Carmarthenshire.

Fabulous intro sequence Ryan, your editing is top notch. A hill I have been up quite a few times but have never thought of it as a camp spot although its a great location for sunrise so maybe one day. I am so fed up of the weather. Looking forward to your videos on the Brecon Beacons way. I have the book but have not done it and I don't think my knees can manage long distances these days. Can I ask where in the Beacons you are from - I live in Ebbw Vale but I am thinking yout accent is further west of me. Btw, your are right, Toby is deffo the star of the show. I miss my little jack russell. Just realised today (Feb 26th) is the day he went over the rainbow bridge. Stunning sunrise morning - wondering what gear you use to film apart from the drone? Atb Al

Hiya mate, I would say the car park in Crickhowell is safe, but I don't know if they are 24hr, sorry. There's an Indian restaurant (Red Indigo) on Brecon road, I just looked on Google Maps and they have parking spaces at the front and rear of their building - you could maybe ask them if you can park there for the night. Another option is, just down the road from the Indian, turn left into Oakfield Drive and there's a few dead end streets there, it's a safe looking quiet area - maybe you could just park in a street there for the night. That's also near the route up to Table Mountain from Gwern-vale. Other than that I don't really know of anywhere. Good luck and have a good one!
