Got To Get Outdoors its a cracking spot, never ceases to take my breath away👍 thanks for watching and commenting mate

Gaziano Outdoors thanks mate Ive been lucky to have great conditions on my recent trips to Snowdonia. Hoping to head up there again tonight. Have a hood weekend mate👍

ttxela thanks,really appreciate that!

Yes I love the old drone footage generally, I follow 2 feet Forward and Explorer Buddies who do some great drone filming... but there was something a bit annoying about the calm of this magical place being ruined by that buzz. Im not anti drone but its a fine balance. Went on holiday to Iceland and you cant go anywhere without a drone flying ahead there. Ta for watching Billy. Did you have a good weekend in Ogwen? This was last Saturday👍

@@jossthomas123456 hi Joss. Yes the campsite was excellent. I might bring out a video of the weekend. We shall see. 😀

Billy`s Little BIG adventure channel nice one pal

I'm a drone pilot and from Snowdonia, would love to get amazing drone footage from anywhere I wanted, but a) you need to respect the wildlife, flora and other users of the landscape. B) you are not permitted to fly a drone in the National Park without permission from the National Park Authorities. Beautiful scenery and look forward to walking the hills again soon👍

@@AndyHiggins007 you are correct on the first point but regarding point ‘b’, permission is only necessary if you are flying a drone for commercial purposes. See further info www.snowdonia.gov.wales/authority/news-and-media/using-drones

WyoColo Experience thank you👍👍 I went back this weekend and had a similar epic adventure!! Video to follow. Thanks for watching and commenting👍

I can't wait Joss. By the way, didn't Jimmy Page from Led Zeppelin own a cabin around this area? I think he said he wrote "Stairway to Heaven" at that location.

WyoColo Experience I didnt know that but I googled it and yes, it seems it was written in a remote cottage in Snowdonia, thanks for that😀

There's a Lady who's sure, all that glitters is gold ... LOL

Thanks Nathan! Yeah one of my favourite all time tracks!

Thanks for the comments Andy, I really appreciate it, hopefully when lockdown is over, I’ll have some more videos pretty soon👍

Nice one Ryan, it certainly was a cracking night and a good spot. Glad you had a good camp. I went back to the Snowdonia a couple of times in the following month and had some perfect conditions. Atb and thanks for watching, Joss

Thanks Dave much appreciated, it was a very memorable trip and one of my favourite videos to put together👍

Thank you Mark, your comments mean a lot my friend. Yes I prefer the old Welsh names, they’ve been around a lot longer and we have to keep them alive. Been saving Bachawy Pt 2 for a watch this evening as have had a mad busy week👍 thanks mate Joss

A pleasure Joss, it was a cracking time out. I've just noticed your comment. I'll reply shortly. I hope you find time to rest this week....

Thanks Buddy much appreciated. I think this is so far my all time favourite film. Ive not changed cameras, still using an iphone but its capabilities are far better on blue sky days like this. They really dont perform well in low light. The only addition was my SLR for the night photography stills. My tent is a Terra Nova Laser Comp. Absolutely brilliant tent, I picked it up on ebay for £120. It had only been used twice👍 Practically the same design as a Zephyros but different material in both parts. I did have a Zephyros years ago. Anyway thanks for the positive feedback 👍👍👍

Diolch David, thanks for the very kind comments. Ogwen Valley is a place I know very well and have been lucky to see it in lots of different conditions so its nice to share old memories👍 thanks for taking the time to watch and comment, atb Joss

Cheers buddy. Glad you enjoyed it. Re:Wildcamping in the Cwm, there was a bit more to it, which I didn’t put in the video but the lady had started a polite conversation with them and they hadn’t been too friendly in their reply. She stopped me because she thought I was a warden 😂 They were camped practically on the path in one of the busiest places in the park, and they were still having a lie in at half eleven the following day so were far from discrete. Each to their own, but we have to remember that we are guests in these awesome places. As for that bloody drone it was disturbing a bird of prey as well. I nearly went over to say something but it would have spoilt an amazing day. Thanks for watching and commenting, its all good discussion 👍 atb Joss

@@jossthomas123456 Ah, now you mentioned that extra bit about it being blatantly on the path, that is very disrespectful. I mean, come on, anybody ought to know that. I have noted from your previous videos the sleeping equipment you use such as the mattress. I looked it up but it's so expensive. I find a nice insulated sleeping bag to be adequate. With regards to the comments you make in this video about finding a non-wet piece of ground to set up, I know what you mean. I was there 24 hours before you and the ground was very marsh and boggy at the foot of Glyder Fach. There is nothing I hate more than sleeping in wet clothes, especially socks. Your home-made curry looked bloody nice too! :) Just editing my Snowdon 8 video now (so called because it was my 8th time) and it should be up later today. We'll have to meet up one day up on the mountains..... I'll next be there in July for the 3000s. You'd be more than welcome to do it with me and my mate if you fancy it?

LordHeath1972 nice one. I picked up that Sea 2 Summit mattress at half the price which was a bargain. I always sleep on my side so need a bit of depth in a mattress and have a back injury at the moment, so for me its an essential bit of kit👍 The full 3000 would be dodgy for my back so will give it a miss but ta for the invite dude😎

Chris Procter thanks for watching and commenting. I can imagine that the drone footage would have been absolutely fantastic- however I think what I found to be antisocial is the very loud noise they make. Personally think that this should be done when not many people are about. The drone was bothering a Buzzard, which was flying above, as well. These are special places where the peace and quiet is as special as the views. Thats my take on it anyway, thanks for your support, all the best Joss

Thanks my friend👍

Haha pissing myself mate, yeah thought I’d have a mild rant and get it out of the way early on😂 Thanks for coming along, saved you the petrol😂👍👍👍

@@jossthomas123456 that ogwen Valley you mentioned has an ace bit of river I've kayaked it a few times. Proper white water. My favouret river so far pal.

Thanks Glenn, you’re right, its a great thing to do with kids to get them out. Ive got nothing against drones but this one was buzzing around the falcons which were above and obviously bothered by it. Cwm Idwal is protected more than other spots because of the rarity of the plants so its worth the extra care otherwise in decades, they wont be there👍 Thanks for watching mate, much appreciated.

Thanks mate, yes this is my favourite that Ive made so far👍 yeah it is a busy place. This was a Saturday so its at its most busy.

Yes it is! Nice one Jiffy.👍

Thanks Trev. Hard to beat Ogwen and the Glyders👍👍

Paul L thank you mate- really appreciate the support👍

Thanks for watching Phillip, much appreciated👍

Hi Joe, Its a Laser Comp 1. Its a fantastic tent. I have used it in bad weather but wouldn’t use it in proper winter but it would stand up to mild winter weather. The roof would not hold inches of snow without bowing. I have a Scarp 1 for winter use, which comes with an optional ‘geodesic’ outer pole system that can be used in heavy snow. There is a 4 season version of the Laser out now, but its pricy, atb Joss

@@jossthomas123456 I’ve got the comp 2, used it in bad winds but not snow yet! It will have to do for me this winter, hopefully it’ll be ok? Thanks for replying. ATB Joe.

@@joesoutdooradventures1146 yeah if you keep an eye on the weather it should be fine. A true 4 season tent can hold the weight of several inches of snow and also has snow gaiters to stop snow blowing into the inner part, my Scarp hasnt got snow gaiters and we havent really had serious winter conditions for a few years (apart from Scotland)

George Maier thanks very much!

Ian Fraser thanks Ian. It is a Terra Nova Laser Comp.

Twiggy Underfoot thanks Buddy. Thats a great name for a channel 👍👍

Thank you :D

MattLippy Hi, it would be around an hour and 45 mins, takes longer while filming it though!

Thanks, planning on taking this route and a couple other routes you’ve showcased in a few weeks !

MattLippy check the Wales regulations before you go. Ogwen Valley and many Snowdonia routes are currently closed off and may be for a while longer, even after the 5 mile travel restriction is lifted on July 6th.

Thanks, I wasnt actually aware of the restrictions hoping they get lifted in time if not I’ve planned a few separate routes which aren’t on the list of closed off routes

Missing the point entirely😂

@@jossthomas123456 I’m really not

@@michaeldavies717 Cwm Idwal is a very special area for rare flora etc. Its one of the only sites in Snowdonia with a specific bylaw against camping. Discreet wildcamping is tolerated by the National Park authority when its high up, discreet, out of site and leaving no impact. Camping in Cwm Idwal is not tolerated by the park authority and the rangers regularly move people on from there.

@@jossthomas123456 The difference between discrete and non discrete wild camping is?

@@michaeldavies717 out of sight out of mind. Discrete means arriving late, leaving early not camped in full sight, mid afternoon, practically on the path like the people in the video.
