Join me on a hot summer's day, for a wildcamp on the outskirts of Snowdonia, where I find a beautiful blue lagoon in an old slate quarry. I take a swim before settling for the night on a nearby peak, to camp with stunning views of some of Snowdonia's best mountains.

Hey Joss. It’s really good to see you back out & about again! I have very much missed your uploads!! Cracking video with stunning imagery, music and excellent narrative. It’s always interesting to hear about the history/background of the locations that you visit. Hard to believe it is about a year ago since I met you at the quarry. I am hoping to get up to N.Wales next weekend for about 3-4 days (first time this year). Hope our paths cross again one day for another chin wag🙂. ATB Charles.

Climbed snowdonia and camped there in my teens . I remember lots of pain , a friend crying and Saying “no More no I’m not walking “ 😂 . Walking until sunset and more walking crack of dawn . But the best place we camped somewhere in snowdonia at the top there was a huge lake it was just breathtaking . I soon forgot about all my aches and pains . When the staff were asleep I thought it would be wise to wake up 5am and wash my hair with cold water, it was winter . But to be fair my hair looked like it had a bottle of oil in it , after 3 days and I couldn’t tolerate it . I was also used to washing my hair with cold water . However my teacher noticed the damp Hair, and I got a good telling off😂 . I remember being upset because I never got in trouble . But apparently I could have caught pneumonia , hypothermia and they’d need mountain rescue for me. No hospital for miles and miles . About 3 years ago I went to Steele falls in Scotland , since I live here and that gave me the same emotions of Snowdonia . We are being lazy since we have good walks and mountains over here, and Wales seems so far . But I should go back with my children, to relive it before I’m too old and tired to hike . Thank you for the video , brought back lots of good memories

Me and my wife love your wild camping videos Joss. We are in our early 50's and got into camping last year. We spent a couple of nights wild camping inbetween Dolgellau and fairbourne and loved it. we also bought a Citroen Berlingo which we are converting into a camper for those quick get aways. We love Wales and feel it is our second home. If you can recommend any wild camping spots either to pitch up ten or park up in our camper car. that would be great. Our only grumble with your videos is that they aren't long enough lol. We really enjoy the fact that you show a lot of the scenery around you and you dont talk all the way through but just when it matters. Thank you for sharing your experiences. Bless you

Thanks Tony, glad that you enjoy the films. I will be out again soon, fingers crossed! Im not familiar with camper parking spots too much but I know if you head to the quieter areas of snowdonia where there are less tourists, you will find nice ‘park ups’. Have a look at Tanygrisiau near Blaenau Ffestiniog. Drive as far up as the road goes and theres a big layby near a waterfall. A short walk leads to the impressive scenery and ruined quarry of Cwmorthin.

mr glamper yes mate, you come off the path for Llyn Idwal on the left and go over some rougher ground. That soon turns into a path again which is scrambly but mainly a steep walk. It levels out soon enough and you are at the lake. There is a ‘hump’ of land jutting into the lake on the left where I camped. If you watch the first few minutes of this video, it takes you to the lake kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oseGrJVjtt-Vips.html

Nice one. Hope you enjoy. Some tips.. its an easy place to find, Id advise camping as far back on the hill so you are away from sight of any residential properties and assume that you wont be pitching the tent up for the whole two days as that not really the done thing. Arrive late and leave early. It is a popular hill for walkers and people from the village below, which is close👍
