Wild camping in Snowdonia | Steeling my nerves

Wild camping in Snowdonia - I struggled with the scramble

This was a challenging wild camping trip to Snowdonia for me. The scramble up Rhinog Fawr was tough. The rocks were loose and very unstable underfoot. I don’t like this kind of terrain at the best of times and was certainly out of my comfort zone. The views up top were epic though so well worth the effort to get up there.

Check out Andrew Beavers and The Lone Explorer (Scott) for some great footage of the trip

Mountains always have a way of turning a great day serious, and I often can go into a different mindset when things aren't properly going to plan. Always good to take a step back and never take the mountains for granted and give them the respect they are due.
Great vid as always Paul

"Short cuts" always have a cost, usually something like you just showed. But, well done! You made it safely and the payoff was stunning! Thanks again for the video, Paul.
