    You were lucky with the weather Darren. I climbed Corn du and Pen y fan a few years ago with a good friend. We set up a portable radio station at the top. Wonderful stuff. Looking forward to part two.

    Hiking poles make a huge difference Daz & like you said especially on the downhill & over technical terrain they help steady you with a heavy pack. Looking forward to part two. Good hike guys.

    Brilliant video Funky, cant wait for the next day. Your channel is great as you are a regular guy who shows things as they are which attracts people just learning. Some channels portray themselves as experts and have no interest to many people. Your knowledge is massive, your USP is how you put the info across :-)

  • @markmartin8431
    @markmartin8431 9 лет назад

    absolutely stunning and the sound was perfect no wind noise, I had mentioned once before about bananas for leg cramps but couldn't remember what in them that was supposed to work, potassium is what it is so if you get chance to try them maybe they will work for you. atb stay safe Mark in Texas

    A lot of reservoirs drained in the UK and US...
    I wonder why that is?

    • @ghostwatts7802
      @ghostwatts7802 9 лет назад

      +alpha numeric must be that "global warming"
      I honestly dont have even an educated guess but it is a very interesting topic.

    • @Simware
      @Simware 8 лет назад

      It was drained for maintenance.

    • @alphanumeric1529
      @alphanumeric1529 8 лет назад

      Simware
      Whole lot of reservation maintenance going on right now. I've got many decades under my belt, and have never seen so many reservoirs drained for maintenance.

    • @Simware
      @Simware 8 лет назад +1

      What are you implying?
      I expect it's more convenient to maintain it while it's still standing than to clean up the mess after it has come crashing down. All these dams are more or less the same age.

  • @BornRandy62
    @BornRandy62 9 лет назад

    :) 4G on the top of the hillside. :) Where I live in the states (fly over territory) we only get the last version of cell service. When they come out with 5G they will remove the 4G equipment from a big city and move it here . We have 2G and maybe 3G in some areas when the signal from someplace else sneaks in on us. I have set myself up with a walking stick. I never used on exclusively before now but I find it really useful these days. Getting old I think I am :) When we deployed to the med, we operated the radar and electronic equipment. But the lookouts standing outside with binoculars were considered part of our sensor system. So we constantly had them on the communication net with us. We had the dimly lit air conditioned classified information container for a work space and they had the weather. So they were always asking for info about ships schedule, liberty ports, and most importantly if the deployment had been extended . We would always sing Bing Crosby I'll be home for Christmas to them. or Dean Martin White Christmas :)

You had spot on weather to savour the whole landscape, blinkin brill!! Like I said mate everything else is an anti climax low key event compared to getting up them mounts n hills.
