I had to comment again, which I usually do because I’m excited to see him drop a video and then I actually watched the video and I wanted to tell you, Simon thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking us to that crash site you’re an awesome bloke Simon. You’ve taught me a lot about World War II in England. You’re an awesome teacher my friend I’m disabled living in Northern California and I absolutely love watching your videos. I learned so much thank you and God bless you and your family.🙏🇺🇸💯🇬🇧
My grandad, my mother's father, was an RAF pilot whose Lancaster went down in the Firth of Forth in january 1944 just after he had come home on leave to see my grandmother Christmas 1943. He was 24 years old. His plane was never found. My Mum was born in september 1944. Thank you Simon.
an american pilot named philip taught us to play guitar, after he was shot down in 1972 in vietnam, our village people just kept him and he was very friendly with the kids, then 4 people from the vietnamese army came to take him away. that is my childhood memory i will never forget during the war, so sad. i don't know if he is still alive or not
@SoldiersafterwarVN I hope he did survive the war and if he did, I’m sure he still remembers teaching you and the other kids to play. Sad times when we are at war. I recently visited your stunningly beautiful country and had a chance to visit DaNang where there is still some war time relics so see on the old airbase near ‘China Beach’.
I love wales, i moved here 25 years ago from Reading and i havent looked back, my family are welsh but i was born in Portsmouth and grew up on the south coast in Hampshire, moved to Reading during my teens and i hated every minute so when the opportunity arose to move to wales, i grabbed it with both hands and im so glad i did, i had all 4 of my children in Wales, my hubby is welsh and i consider myself welsh even though i have an english accent, nobody bats an eye at that, the welsh are a very friendly and welcoming bunch and ive never felt as at home anywhere as i do now ❤
Re: the Avro Lancaster crash site (other crash sites too): "Any man's death diminishes me, Because I am involved in mankind. And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee." [No Man is an Island. John Donne]. Sobering to think of those dead airmen and their great sacrifice for their country and for the world during that terrible 2nd Great World War. Another wonderful video, and not just for showcasing the solemn nature of that bomber crash site. Thanks.
near my house there was a b52 plane that crashed during the vietnam war in 1972, my mother took off one of the wheels to make a rice mortar. the pilot tried to drag his body to the stream, honestly the vietnamese had no intention of harming him after the plane was shot down, war was so cruel
I am feeling abit down I have been in hospital since August I am getting a little more mobile but watching you both and the bluebells certainly helps to pick me up up ..
Simon, ive said it before but i love the history bits you do and i love the combination of yourself and andy. Really great stuff. I think you both would enjoy Australia
26:12 I also felt very sad and felt all my hairs stand up . Rest In Peace to all those souls Thank you for this sir And for showing the site and the plaque . I paused it and prayed for each name So very sad and sobering indeed Thank you Simon
Hi, Simon! That shot of Andy snoring, was priceless. I've often wondered why you always set up a good distance from him. Thank you for paying tribute to the 8 soldiers who gave their lives so that you could safely hike out there. Saying "thank you" to them just doesn't do enough but a heartfelt "thank you" to you for highlighting them seems appropriate.
In repetition of myself again - thanks for taking us along and taking the bother to do so. We celebrated our Memorial Day of remembrance a week ago so a timely climb in Wales to remind us of the sacrifice of some. See you next time Simon a bloke in the hills []~(￣▽￣)~*
Hi Simon. I wanted to let you know your "hunters chicken and chips" has become a favorite at my house. My wife and our Mexican tenant, (son) love it and we have the chips at least 4 nights a week. I renamed them "English fries" in your honor because chips means something entirely different here in the US. Luis, (my son), has perfected them. Tonight we had salmon and English fries. Thank you so much! I really enjoy your videos.
My father flew in Lancasters so I really appreciated this video. It sent a chill down me. A lot of the aircrew died in training. My father’s crew suffered a crash on take off before they were airborne due to engine failure but fortunately lived to tell the tale. Very sad.
your father used to be a pilot?? near my house there was a b52 plane that crashed during the vietnam war in 1972, my mother took off one of the wheels to make a rice mortar. the pilot tried to drag his body to the stream, honestly the vietnamese had no intention of harming him after the plane was shot down, war was so cruel
Great video. As an Essex born guy that's now 61 and lived in Australia from the age of 9 and having served in the Australian navy for 21 years I felt a connection both for the land where I was born and with the Australian airman that sacrificed his life. But for all those that gave their lives sadness and immense respect including for the crew of this Lancaster, the make up of the crew demonstrating that WW2 truely touched Every corner of the globe. Cheers
Thx Simon., yes that was a beautiful camp site/CREEK WOW I love to see those CREEKS yes water running over big rocks❤., thx for the view of the crash also., sad yes.. & wow 1943 wow., bless you for showing us., and I was glad to see Andy was on here also., & yes I watched yalls road trip., both videos yes & that was an Awesome trip also to see thx..
Camping in the midst of the Carmarthen fans is pretty wonderful and spectacular Simon. You had a great spot and hey customer service - got some great lettuce. A nice walk up yo the crash site. How about that - a few rounds from an automatic weapon. That's amazing. Well, good going. Wales has more than just sheep. Mark
i simple like your way taking videos and relax your self camping and lots of lots of meats to grill and eat and drink tea after wow that is so good,thanks for sharing
This campsite is sensitively developed while having many conveniences for heavier use. I LIKE the flagstone steps down to the water. The site has glorious views. Thank you, Simon, for giving us a slow view of that wonderful tree. It is too easy to just skim over what nature offers us in the out of doors.
Great adventure, Simon! I’ve never seen countryside like that before - those hills are cool and interesting. Remembering what has past is important. Thanks for taking us along!
Hello Bleddyn , my daughter in laws family are from Cardiff , Wales . When I arrived in London ,England I travelled to Bournemouth and Plymouth meeting brothers , I then travelled extensively through Wales on my journey to Liverpool via Snowdonia to meet more family . After this I travelled through England , north to the border of Scotland. Journeying from here zig zagging all the way back to London where in the finish I clocked up some 4000 odd wonderful miles . Cheers 😊
Cracking camp. Llyn y Fan Fach was my first ever camp in wales in my tent and first RUclips video. Seeing that brought back memories. It was 28 degrees when I camped there too and I was boiling. Big surprise for Wales 😂
I must admit that I would never go to an air-crash site, deliberately. That is my own cowardice, I suppose. Just seeing the wreckage second-hand makes me weep. But, I admire those who can make a respectful pilgrimage, as it were, to remember the people who gave their 'tomorrows' for our 'today'. Nicely done, Simon. We will remember them.
my mother disassembled a wheel of a b52 plane that crashed in vietnam to make a rice mortar, then the plane exploded, more people in my village continued to come near the plane wreckage to disassemble it, i still remember that american pilot, although his face is no longer very clear
Simon, just up the road is the wreck of a RCAF Wellington which is far more intact. SN817168 is the reference. There is also a Vampire wreck at SN826201. All weather related. All tragic.
Old, retired vet here. Have seen some bad stuff. The wreck would be easy to miss if you weren’t looking. Your respect for the wreck and vets is appreciated. Tell Andy he can get a travel CPAP and power it with a good battery…heh, heh…. Thanks for sharing this adventure…from east Tennessee.
Would love to get out in those woods and check out those plants. I’m sure I could identify lots of related species to the ones here in eastern North America. Amazing the early English named tons of plants here for ones back home. Also I’m sure there would be tons unknown to me. Love those wattle fences!🤣🇺🇸
My girlfriend just surprised me yesterday with two, original, Simon, a bloke in the woods T-shirts and I'm so incredibly happy, I can barely contain myself. Huge fan of your channel and you as a person. Thank you!
Simon, thanks for putting this video out. I'm hopeful that you are getting back into the swing of things as far as your videos go. With D Day coming up, I really appreciate you doing a bit of an ode to some of the fallen heros of that time period. Take care and stay safe brother.
Wow. Touching. I’ve watched this on the eve of the 80th anniversary of the D Day Landings. Good video yet again Sir. Thank you. A British patriot obviously.
Simon if unaware your right on the edge of a cluster of wrecks, all within a couple of miles, the lancaster, a liberator, avro anson, DH Vampire and a Wellington, the most complete of them all.
Thank you, you, Simon, for taking us up to that crash site, and for speaking about your emotions. It was an important and valuable addition to the commentary. We went up to the Verdun memorial in France on one of our bike tours, and I still remember sudden and overwhelming (and unexpected) feeling of sadness that overcame me for all those lives lost, and their incredible sacrifice. It's so hard to put into words, but it's essential that we try.
Simon, thank you for your reverence towards the wreckage site and those whom lost their lives during their training mission 🙏. I have watched many of your videos and sensed that you are a very nice person. Watching this one and seeing your heartfelt humbleness truly confirms what a fine person you truly are, 👍 👍.
Hello from Australia Simon. We are avid watchers of you adventures and look forward to seeing them. Hope all is going well in the old dart and you have another video out soon.
Just a pleasure to watch Your Videos. No single-use items or excessive use of plastic (I use even less when outdoors) and the sound of nature. That's how I love bushcrafting.
Thank you Simon for showing the crash site, very moving and poignant especially with the commemorations as I type this to you. My Grandfather on mum's side, was a Regimental Sergeant Major, and his brother John, an American, volunteered and they both served together and landed on a Normandy Beach on D-Day. John was blown up and died in his brother's arms, very sad. Also, fantastic to see you out with Andy, thanks very much.
Very odd feelings in sites like that. It's a beautiful part of the world here in South wales.. your always welcome to visit and have a night out local if your ever in the area again and looking for a hang site for the night..could put you into some stunning places. Great video again
Excellent. The WW2 aircraft wrecks in the Peak district are also (mainly) unscavanged. "Over Exposed" on Bleaklow is a nice walk with a somber thought at the end. You do need navigational skills though to get to it.
.... the beautiful setting. That stunning dawn chorus a liquid feast and a nod to those who sacrificed their lives for our freedom. Not a bad vlog all in all. Excellent 😎☯️🌱
Very interesting and informative video. Regardinf the crash site, thank you for the sensative coverage, I bought my first house on the old De Haviland airfield at Christchurch in Dorset. There was one area I could not persaud my dog to wlk through, it was the site of one of the few crash sites on the airfield, and there definitely a certain atmosphere to the place, so I understand that odd reaction to being at the location where hte aircraft hit the ground. Good to see that the site is still "virgin" and not stripped by the vandals who strip every bit they can, to me they are grave robbers and should get all they deserve for desicrating where 8 brave young men died performing their duty, saving us and, let us face it, the world from tyrany. I salute them, and you, on the ve of the 80th anniversery of D Day. RIP to all who fell in the cause of freedom.

It's not in England. It's in Wales.
29:43 the way Simon gently places the piece back in the earth was so very gentle and considerate!
You’re a good man Simon
Such an authentic soul
Always a joy to see both Simon and Andy together
Thank you for your respect! Picking up pieces to examine and putting them back in place shows such kindness and respect!!
Simon- it is cool you got Andy snoring away in his sleep! Lol

That's so sad. I'm guessing there were many men who didn't get to meet their child.
@@gladysbohle1741 And children who never knew their father which was my mother's situation.

That is so very sad - that short home leave at Christmas had huge importance is so many ways. Lest we forget.
@SoldiersafterwarVN I hope he did survive the war and if he did, I’m sure he still remembers teaching you and the other kids to play. Sad times when we are at war. I recently visited your stunningly beautiful country and had a chance to visit DaNang where there is still some war time relics so see on the old airbase near ‘China Beach’.
That dawn chorus from the birds is mesmerising
Can i come with you guys please.. beer, bbq, and the great outdoors... and no missus 😂😂, seriously love the videos guys

Great video Simon , always get the impression you prefer your expeditions and exploring, where Andy is happier sitting around a camp fire.
Hey Andy! Are you going to take that? Next video - Naked bungee jump.
I think we can all agree that when they collaborate, its so much better.
Andy likes an adventure too 👍😁
Yes Andy spends too much time drinking. He should take the survival out of his title. He is a nice guy but kind of a lazier approach than you
Andy’s falsetto “Night” is rich. Your friendship is lovely and a reminder of what good friends bring to a camp.
Your videos never disappoint. Great job Simon

Simon and Andy together, that's the best! I am surprised nature did not grow over the crash site of the plane, after all those years.
I thoroughly enjoyed watching your Strata Florida adventure, so it was great to see this video pop up tonight. That was a great watch!

Great camp spot Simon, and the wreckage of the Lancaster was poignant and moving.

The Brecon Beacons are spectacular, stunning, and it looked like a great hike. The dawn chorus did seem loud even over Andy’s snoring!

Truly a joy to have you back here Simon. Your respect for the land, this crash and the souls lost is admirable. I always enjoy your videos.

Stunningly beautiful country!! Thanks for the tag along.
Great video, so awesome to see the crash site. I agree with you, the sites should be left as they were and the pieces of the wreckage left alone.
It's always lovely to see you enjoying nature.
Excellent. The WW2 aircraft wrecks in the Peak district are also (mainly) unscavanged. "Over Exposed" on Bleaklow is a nice walk with a somber thought at the end. You do need navigational skills though to get to it.
Great video, thank you. I have always wondered what you do when you need a sh1t in the morning
Simon, your videos are always so chilled. Thanks for sharing this trip.
