Can I just make something clear Keef. It certainly wasn't a "date". I put a shout on my Instagram page and asked did anyone else fancy a walk up Yr Wyddfa and Carol was the only one who responded.
Thank god she did and I had someone to walk with even though her sense of direction wasn't the best at the beginning 😂...So not a date ok.
An hour off-track, away from the beaten-track ... not the best start "camp-leader" ...true to form tho, why break the habit of a lifetime lol 😂 ...Defo need to triple check directions at those intersections our kid!! Got there in the end tho - jolly well done you two intrepid travellers. A few gurt good larfs along the way - Xcellent 🤙😎
@marklyons3003 I just like to make every walk memorable 😆. Thing is, ive done this route 3 times already but couldn't remember where to start 🤣🤣
Who’s up for the next one? Not me! Not unless it involved less mountain and more pub lunch. The weather was exactly like that the last time I climbed Snowdon, and it was also exactly like that for the whole week that we climbed Kilimanjaro for Velindre. Which was the last time I walked, climbed or waddled up, along or over anything where there wasn’t the prospect of a nice lunch. The Brecon Beacons, where I’m from offer amazing walks, but also splendid pubs. The same is true of the Peak District National Park where I live now. Stunning walks, superb pub lunches. And I don’t think that’s a coincidence, I think God Himself intended us to enjoy His most scenic work enhanced by a nice pub lunch, a glass of wine and comfortable lavatory facilities. All of which I can confirm are very sadly lacking on godforsaken African mountains. Admittedly Snowdon is more civilised given that there’s the train option and a visitor centre at the summit, but you might find (as I did) yourself sitting next to an oversized American tourist on the train and then being very disappointed by lunch. That’s one thing I will say for Kilimanjaro. The long drop bogs might have been horrific, but there were very few large American tourists at the summit.
@Mr_Boaty Haha so I'm guessing your up for the next hike then 🤣🤣 I can just feel the total enthusiasm in your words 😆😆❤️
@@carol_ann_living.in.the.moment Ah, I’d need the details of the pub so I could check out the menu in advance. I might be an old Welsh pit pony, but even they need a suitable nose bag to make the plodding worthwhile. At a bare minimum I’d be looking for a decent sossidge and mash with the option of a mustard or horseradish dressing that involved the words ‘Tewksbury’, ‘Dijon’ or ‘hot/grated’. I’m not so old that I can’t see the joys of becoming wet and bedraggled in scenic splendour, but I am long enough in the tooth to know that a lousy lunch can rather diminish said joy. That said, I suppose I could always deploy my food flask and bring something from the restaurant if the alternative were to be a generic boil in the bag offering from a place that took pride in seeing themselves as a step up from a Wetherspoons. Eating the waterlogged bog you fell in on the way there would probably be preferable!
@Mr_Boaty So I'm guessing my meagre offerings off a peanut butter and banana butty is just not going to cut it with you is it....its crunchy peanut butter I might add, none of that smooth rubbish 🤣.
Maybe your palette is more acquainted with more delectable delights than my usual half way up a mountain squashed tin foil wrapped delights, if your lucky you might even get the odd bit of foil hitting any fillings making the whole experience just something else.
I bet you're kinda thinking about it now aren't you 😂😂
@@carol_ann_living.in.the.moment Gosh, you make it sound so….well, very resistible! But it could be rather fun,. Bring your baby food, inexpertly wrapped in filling threatening shredded foil and I’ll bring a staff curry. Let’s have a ramble, a lunch off and make a possibly rather amusing video!
Well done 😂😂. Shame you didn't have the views. Ive not been up Yr Wyddfa, the hundreds of tourists put me off!! 😁😁. Obviously you picked just the right time to climb it! It's reputed to be even more spectacular when covered in snow. I bet you and Molly slept well!! Crib Goch next then 😱😱😂😂.
@tazminmoore455 The last 2 times I've done that path the views have been pants 🤣 although I do like it because it's always pretty quiet. Honestly couldn't believe how quiet it was on the summit too...just how I like it 😊.
I'd love to do Crib Goch, but I'd only do it with someone experienced...I'm not that brave, or stupid lol.
Had a lovely walk through the Ogwen Valley today ❤️
Another excellent video, your muddy adventure on Snowdon, i did laugh when you fell in the mud (sorry) Thanks for the video,,,,
@georgegentry8922 Awe thats absolutely fine, as you can see I laughed too 🤣🤣. Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Poor Alan. 1st date and it was dirty!! 😂 I remember Snowdon well. Got halfway up and the mist descended so didn't have a clue where to go. Ended up on the side of a very rocky steep slope and was relieved when the must lifted. Returned to the path and got to the top to see ...... nothing except thick mist. Loved it!
@keefnbailz Very much not a date lol. Just 2 adults enjoying a hike together, I enjoy walks with friends sometimes. Makes a change from solo hikes 😊
Looked like a fun (not) climb. The view you got was the only view I've ever seen when at the summit. One day I'll get there on a clear day!
@2Sheds30619 If you can get the right weather the views are absolutely amazing....just not on Wednesday 🤣🤣
Absolutely great video 😊 my dog also makes the same noises 😂 love ya inspiration Carol you are a star 🌟
@Henbopty oh she's definitely getting worse lol. Glad you enjoyed the video 😊
Brilliant 😍 Quite an adventure Carol, well captured in your vlog. I feel that the Rhyd Ddu path is a solid challenge, especially in the somewhat hostile weather you and Alan had, not to mention the extra muddy bits before even starting 😬 So to do all that while also keeping Molly in check and holding a camera - quite the professional 🙌👏
Unfortunately, had to fast-forward 9:08 - 9:45, way too traumatising 😱 But my walk down was easier, having met you all.
Also, wish I'd known you got so wet on descent, as I'm staying in Rhyd Ddu, so you could've dried off here!
Anyway, looking forward to your next adventure 🙌
@MartinG-e7b Oh hec you might never have got rid of us lol, took me ages to thaw out back at the caravan 🤣.
Was so nice to meet you and thanks for being a good sport on the camera...your debut appearance lol. 😊
@@carol_ann_living.in.the.moment 😆 well, there's a few things in the cottage that could've done with fixing after thawing out...and we all know about your ace DIY skills now...
I’m up for the next one! I have no sense of direction either 😅. We’d have a lot of fun!
@sammcgill2258 Haha fun or never be seen again 🤣🤣
You're a bunch of troopers! Molly did very well too ❤
@fhwolthuis She just plods on bless her 😊❤️
Ogwen Valley is just stunning ❤❤. I've cycled and walked there. I don't think anyone could pay me enough money to attempt Crib Goch 😱😱.
Haha. Think I just like living on the edge 🤣🤣
@@carol_ann_living.in.the.moment well, you would be, quite literally , with Crib Goch ! 🤣🤣
BONKERS!! ... The pair of You .. 😜🤪😛
@petemoring67 Haha yes possibly 🤣🤣
Cheers ,really cheered me up on a wet sat morn…thank you..
Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Fabulous but that looked a hard slog . Glad you both enjoyed it though. Another enjoyable vlog by a top guide 😂
@davej433 It was a bit tough at the top but well worth it 😊 Not sure I'd be described as a Top Guide lol unless it was guiding you NOT to follow my route 🤣
@@carol_ann_living.in.the.moment you guide I'll follow 👀🤣😂😎
Well done carol fantastic effort and mol too x
Thanks Simon, jeez I was so relieved to see the cafe open on the summit 🤣
Great view from the summit😅
@PeterP84 Fantastic wasn't it 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I thought this was a really fun video to watch; is love on the horizon for you and Brian? And massive respect to those forgotten super heroes who did all that stone work at the top of Snowdonia for a shillin' a week and they had to provide their own wet gear and sleep on the job when they had time to inbetween snow, hail , wind and rain storms. Is Molly singing all the time when she's out and about with you?
Glad you enjoyed it Phil and yes she's always singing lol 😆 🤣. She's honestly getting more vocal 🙈.
Yes definite respect to all those guys. I did a walk through The Ogwen Valley yesterday and it did make me think of how hard all those miners worked back in the day.
Have a great weekend 😀
Hi carol lovely walk lovely views,nice to see you xx lucky guy was Alan
@Daniel-rl8ie Was a great walk....not sure Alan was feeling to lucky when he realised how bad my orienteering was 🤣
@@carol_ann_living.in.the.moment wouldn't be bad getting lost with you x😍😜
