We're Eric & Allison Bieller and we're on a journey to find the most interesting places and unique foods this planet has to offer! We've traded in our steady paychecks and permanent home for a life of travel and adventure. Come along and see the world with us!
I'm Scottish and just want to give a big shout out to our wonderful Welsh cousins. That's some mighty fine scenery you've got going on down there Beeeutifuulll !!!
It's like a mini version of the Highlands! :D
@@bujin1977 I always describe Wales as if Ireland and Scotland got together to have a baby, it's a perfect composite of both.
Dont forget the lake district or the Yorkshire Dale's pretty impressive too
Wales is like Slovenia small and beautiful
I've done the Three Peaks. You Scots have the most stunning scenery IMO!
Wales is stunning.
For anyone going to Snowdonia make sure you have some good gear and waterproofs, it most certainly will rain.
When I did the three peaks back in 2014 Snowden fell on the sunniest day and the skies cleared coming down, I gotta say that half an hour jog down felt so easy. Can't say the say on the two other days with their torrential rain.
I enjoy watching your videos BUT please for anyone climbing Snowdon please check weather beforehand and take appropriate clothing. It may not be the highest mountain but the weather can get pretty extreme in a few moments.
Great to see you enjoying our islands, guys. I love the genuine excitement and pleasure you exude.
But please be a bit more careful when hill walking or climbing here in future. The weather can change very quickly and you need to be prepared for that. Strong footwear, layers, hat, waterproofs and some food and drink are the bare essentials. Especially if you head North to do The Ben.
Our Mountain Rescue Teams are volunteers and they get called out far too often because people (including us natives!) just aren't prepared.
Thank you for posting your lovely videos of this weird and wonderful place.
In the UK, cloud and fog often cover everything in the mornings now, but once it clears up, colours pop, it;s beautiful :)
I love the rainy clouds, that's heaven to me.
It creates such a beautiful dramatic landscape and scenery :)
I love climbing mountains, mountains are my Faveriate thing to go and see
Love love love Wales.
So glad to see you come to North Wales we moved here to get a B&B it’s St Hilary Guesthouse In Llandudno at the coast. Glad you enjoyed it, it’s a beautiful area ❤️
I think the UK 🇬🇧 should adopt you guys as ambassadors your awesome 👏
We did this many, many years ago when I was in the Army and I can testify that the weather can change In minutes, really, it went from warm and barmy to an arctic blizzard in under a minute
Eric thank you so much for the included drone shots! I so look forward to them! It adds a measure of professionalism to your videos that is unsurpassed, and the views are breathtaking! Allison your celebratory dance at the summit was so believable!!! Y'all are great actors when the moment requires added exuberance😁 Your smiles and laughter were absolutely contagious when the sheep were yelling at you😂🐑
Love this video. I’m lucky to have been born and raised in north Wales. I’m glad you enjoyed visiting our part of the world.
Snowdon is a serious mountain, and should be treated with respect. The rescue helicopter is often seen rescuing tourists off the mountain.
Agree, climbed it last year thinking I could waltz up… it was unbelievably hard
Beautiful Wales! Great views and love the drone shots. Thanks for going above and beyond so I can watch you hike a mountain whilst drinking a cup of hot coffee. 😉
A proper hike guys, well done, you will never forget climbing Snowdon. Hope you managed to get a warming meal afterwards. Remember to try some Welsh lamb before leaving, it's the best. See you in Bonny Scotland!
That's so true - I never ate lamb in Germany (I'm German) but since we moved to Wales I do - it's the best indeed :)
Remember viewers when fell walking in Wales try not to dress as if you are just popping out to take the washing off the line.
Hahahaha
Eric and Allison, I highly recommend you look for RUclips videos of the Mach Loop which is in Wales. The Mach Loop is a set of valleys, situated between Dolgellau in the north, and Machynlleth in the south (and from which the Mach Loop gets its name), which are regularly used for low level flight training, with flying as low as 250 feet (76 metres) from the nearest terrain. The RAF and the USAF train there. The videos of the jets along with the breathtaking scenery are really fantastic. I've never seen them 'in real life' but regularly watch on RUclips. Great video btw. I really enjoyed it, thanks.
You can almost feel the spirits of ancient Celts walking that land
I love how all the locals are like 'please be more prepared when hiking in th UK'! It's so true! We may not have the highest mountains but we do have some of the most unpredictable weather which can create havoc!
So strange to see you commenting on how bad the weather got! I mean for rainy Wales... you had it good! lol We went up Pen Y Fan (Brecon Beacons) on a day that started with hail in Cardiff and low lying cloud, ended up being one of the hottest days of the year and the day some soldiers in training died from heat exhaustion. I've climbed many places in the world, but Wales has got to be the most changable I've experienced.
Having said that, awesome shots of the Welsh hills!
Thank you so much for this video. I toured England, Scotland and Wales a year ago (almost to the day-in fact a year ago today I was in York Minster) and want to go back so much!!! I’m glad you are taking me there with you. You guys rock!
Wow, I stayed at that hostel on a school trip 24 years ago. Never been back since, maybe about time I did!
I live in North Wales and I'm so pleased you loved your time here! Make sure you come back soon because there are plenty more beautiful places to explore! Safe travels.
stuwxm yes, moved here last year it’s great.
I live in this area, some of the roads you show in the video are some of my most favorite roads to ride my motorcycle on, regardless of weather.
Any trail routes you recommend for climbing Mt Snowden? What are some of your favorite places to visit?
@@zensjustbrowsing8281 All trails are good, but Crib Goch is probably the most challenging.
As for places to visit:
Portmeirion Village (A small Italian village in Wales - I work here)
Ffestiniog Railway
Welsh Highland Railway
Blaenau Ffestiniog slate caverns, and zip world
Mach Loop - where you can see low flying fighter aircraft zooming through the valleys at low level
One of the few gliding clubs which take you across North Wales
Caernarfon Castle
And many many more
@@nvstewart Thank you🌼
Fantastic! I did the miners walk up and down in the summer when it was hot and clear views, it was awesome :-)
You can see the coast on a clear day.
I’m climbing it on Thursday 👍🏻
Beautiful day out in Wales,,, I’m jealous of the fresh air your all getting...😉
After a walk,you need a cosy pub with a fire. Great vid. 👍🏼😃😘
Chips, then pub. Perfect
With some locally brewed Welsh beer!
Wooow I love the beauty of nature! Amazing view guys. Thank u for sharing. 😍
Some stunning views captured, such a beautiful corner of the world.
Great! Watching from just a few miles down the road. Hope you enjoy Wales! 👍
Shame you never got to enjoy the amazing views from the summit but at least it never rained, well done! I live locally and go up Snowdon and all the surrounding mountains all the time, I love wild camping up there too, that's an amazing experience I'd highly recommend.
Well done reaching the summit! I was in south Wales over the summer and hiked a section of Brecon Beacons and absolutely tuckered myself out,. And that wasn't nearly as taxing a hike as Snowdon, I'm sure. Love Wales!
I have climbed Snowdon 6 times and once when it was windy enough to stop the trains from running fantastic experience every time ,and even saw rush hour on the mountain where all the sheep are brought down for winter
TOLD YOU it would be beautiful and you'd love. it. A magical place.
I live up a mountain it Wales it can be foggy and cloudy and I drop from 800 feet to 400 in a mile the wether is normally much better in mountain ash and Aberdare
Some epic shots there guys! And well done for walking up :D
Wow those drone shots though!!!
It's a pity Snowdon was misty for you.. we went up last year in good weather and the views are just incredible
Been up Snowden a few times. Beautiful place!
I love it when visitors come any enjoy my local area. Great video. Thanks a lot for sharing! 👍😊
I dunno guys this has to be one of my fav vids of yours, been watching since pretty much the beginning. dunno if it was the lamb laughing at 'y'all' or the sudden cut shot of that beautiful drone footage or the sudden cut to allison completely sodden and a right mess but triumphantly reaching the top of Snowden. proper made me chuckle. Thanks for sharing your adventure and showing us all places we don't know of or havn't seen yet! \o/
Almost all of our weather is westerly ---off the North Atlantic, and can change very quickly. The Rescue teams are always busy.
I like the fact you appreciate and don’t moan about things. It seems you see the best in things.
Love Snowdonia! It is beautiful country!
I have been twice both times very hot and sunny. Aparentley on a very clear day you can see Ireland from the top I could see the Irish sea when I whent up about ten miles away.
The Llanberis track is the easiest and pick a good sunny warm day and extra clothing and good walking boots .The higher you get the colder it gets .we went in September 5 times and once in August same day as the Girl Guides was up at monument on the very top,fantastic views of North Wales
I can't believe you guys went up the Pyg track (and with minimal gear!) The Pyg track has some really steep and difficult parts. If you do visit again, come in summer on the clearest day you can, because the view from the summit is breathtaking. I highly recommend the Llanberis track. It's the most gentle route to the top, unless you count the train of course :) loved the video and have subscribed
Started to watch your vid's a few weeks ago and thought ok just another vacation blog but after watching a few more i have grown to like and enjoy your stuff. keep having fun in the UK.
I watched this when you first posted. Really appreciated that you visited North Wales and enjoyed all those vlogs.
On rewatching, I’m thinking you would have been better just doing the ‘trail’ up Snowdon from near where you parked. It looks like you were near the Watkin Trail in Nant Gwynant. Yes, it’s more of a climb, as you start at a lower altitude, but it’s not that much more difficult than the trail you took, and you wouldn’t have had the problems with transport that you experienced. We’ve done most of the Snowdon trails, our favourites being the less busy routes from the Snowdon Ranger (there’s a YHA hostel at the base) and the Rhydd Ddu route.
Having grown up in North Wales I suggest that anyone wanting to walk up Snowdon check out weather reports before setting out. It’s a mountain that is notorious for casualties, even in summer. In other seasons it claims a lot of lives. I guess people think it’s not that high and it has a touristy train to the summit, so must be pretty easy? Out of the summer season a combination of ice and gentle slopes above precipitous cliffs can make it lethal.
Great to see you guys adventuring in Wales 🏴 You have to come back in your new RV and then 'The Welsh Dragon Wagon' can show you around some of the beautiful locations we have here in South Wales 🤙🏼🏴
Great video guys. Glad you enjoyed it :) It's my favourite mountain.
If you come to Wales again you must visit the pontcysyllte aqueduct, Llangollen and the horseshoe pass.
Lovely stuff! You have such a relaxed style and obviously enjoy yourselves in these vids - Keep it up and Thanks! :-)
We were there in May this year. found car park lot full and had to park 1.5 miles down the road and hiked to car park. We had to abort try for the day and I returned at 6 am the next day and made the hike top. Easy walk up but not so easy down.
nice to see you driving on the correct side of the road
Pretty epic day y'all. The hills, the lake the sheep. What a hike!
You guys should go to Zipworld while in Snowdonia!
Wales is the only reason why I've never bothered about visiting New Zealand.
Great video ! Come back soon an shoot some more in Wales !
Such a great video! Since you guys enjoy nature and the countryside, come to Yorkshire! It's in the 'north' of England!
Did you not drive through Betys-y-coed in the Snowdonia National Park? It's breathtaking and a visit to Swallow Falls is a must. Lladudno is a beautiful seaside town at the foot of the Great Orme, also worth a visit. Wales holds a lot of childhood memories for me, but it's only as I got older that I realised just how beautiful it is.
Thanks for sharing your wonderful holiday. I've been to Snowdonia back in the 90's. It was excellent! I remember the clouds being below us as we approached the summit, Heavenly! God Bless you guys. Steven.
So I've been wanting to make a trip to the Scottish Highlands all my life and now I'm including Wales to that trip. Wow had no idea what epic scenery I was missing.
Love your "back to nature" videos! Stunning scenery and you captured it beautifully with your drone. No restrictions on using a drone in national parks over there? At first I thought it was Eric crying "Help!" 😜
My favourite trail is the one that goes past the old abandoned and derelict miners cottages, it's long and quite treacherous, but the scenery is awesome!
This video makes me so happy to be British! We've hiked Snowden a few times and have done 4 of the trails. The views are so fantastic but I don't think we've ever been to the top without being covered in clouds! Great video guys
It looks so beautiful there. Glad you made the summit!
At the summit, the cafe/tourist centre my son made all the steelwork and helped construct the center
That was awesome,,being up in the clouds ,no plane either ,,
great photography. loved that shot with the lake in back.
👌👌👌
My wife and I made the mistake of climbing snowdon one autumn when the weather was nasty. Took us a few hours to get up there but then my back and legs gave way and I couldn’t see myself getting back down and it was getting dark. The last train down was full and we were starting to worry about how we would get back. Thankfully the staff took pity on us and let us ride the staff train down for free. I’d love to hike it again, but sadly my body has other ideas.
Oh my Gosh, glad you came down okay. We love Snowdonia and recently climbed Snowdon but were super lucky with the weather :)
well send someone else, on your behalf. I love dangerous sports, but always let someone else represent me---no danger, simples.
So glad you managed to climb Snowden, it’s a shame you didn’t get such good weather as the views are amazing when it’s clear! I walked this a few years back for the second time with my husband and he basically killed his back doing it! This ended up in h8m having an operation 6 months later😬 it was still the hi light of our holiday😁😁😁
Snowdonia & Helvellyn. Ticking them off nicely 🏔️
The best way to experience Snowdon is to go in along Crib Goch, wouldn't advise it on a foggy day though.
I would be a bit better prepared equipment wise in future as in boots, waterproofs and a map, fell walking is dangerous and should be tackled with caution planning.
Especially in weather like that. If the clouds had come down, they could have been stuck. I love how they showcase the country but this could have been so dangerous.
Can't agree more, I've had the weather change rapidly when up snowdon. Glorious sun, to bitter rain within 10/15 mins.
Watching them set off, without waterproofs/boots just made me cringe.
My dad went across every mountain in the uk in a van and some boots, with some friends only
I’ve climbed snowdon countless times as a young teen in trainers and a jumper. Yes it can get cold and windy. It’s not Everest. Unless you’re tackling Crib Goch they’ll be just fine.
@@joshuamatheron1 Hey Joshua, those of us who follow North Wales news are unfortunately aware of how many people need to be rescued off Snowdon and surrounding peaks. Compared to the height of mountains in other countries they might seem tame. They are not, and the weather is so changeable.
Come to County Mayo in Ireland and climb Croagh Patrick! You will love it!
I climbed Mount Snowdon as the final part of the 24 hour three peaks challenge (Ben Nevis in Scotland, Scafell in England and then Snowdon) 20 years ago. We started Snowdon at 3 am. Amazing experience so nice to see the mountain again. Happy days.
Absolutey amazing guys...been watching you when you were all at 700 subs...amazing views
You should try walking the dam wall at Llyn Brenig when the RAF planes fly over and down the valley, really noisey and awsome.
Cĺimbing to top of snowdon is a huge feat
Well done!
Congrats on reaching the top and not getting attacked by the shouty wool dogs. :D
I've said it to you before and I'll say it again: YOU SHOULD WEAR BOOTS WHEN YOU'RE HIKING!
I totally agree! I find high heels or fluffy mules unpractical on slippery wet rocks! lmao
They’re wearing walking shoes. They look like trainers but they are walking versions i’m sure. I’ve got some myself for walking. I use my boots for wet and difficult walks and the trainer versions for smaller dry/city walks. Plus when you’re travelling/backpacking around the world having that compromise is good as you don’t want to be carrying heavy weighted walking boots.
you should have visited Bedd Gelert in North Wales. Google the Story of Gelert, the Irish Wolfhound of Prince Llewelyn .
I remember that story from when I was a kid!
That’s just a tourist thing. Not authentic. I’m from north wales.
@@ynys_mon6928 Yes, it's just a folk tale (but still part of Welsh heritage). Prince LLewelyn was real however. Anyway, regardless of if its real or not, it's a bitter-sweet story and a beautiful place to visit.
Yes, I’m aware that Llewelyn was real. I grew up in North Wales and studied Welsh history at school and in Uni. When we visit North Wales Beddgelert is one of our favourite places to visit, it’s a lovely setting and I think it is lovely enough to attract people without the Gelert legend. Wonderful walks nearby and lots of real history, like the nearby copper mine, also the Arthurian legends associated with Dinas Emrys, a ruined hill fort.
One thing to remember about Wales. If it isn't raining, then its about to rain.
I did it the lazy way and took the train, only thing was it was cloudy the day we went there too!
Beautiful hike, didn’t know sheep 🐑 had tails like that and congratulations on your “Rocky” moment 🥊🏔
MemoryRoses These ones are obviously undocked.
NickyL I came to that conclusion, thank you. I just had never seen one before.
Love your adventures as you are going to Scotland check the weather cold and windy very windy wrap up well and happy trails x
I'm so excited you guys are going to the Highland games! It's on my bucket list too. Can't wait to see the vlog. Safe travels!
The train is expensive, but totally worth it
Another great video!! It's worth pointing out, as others have, that many people treat Snowdon & Helvellyn as Sunday strolls but are ignorant about just how fast really bad weather can roll in. It doesn't take much in the way of wind, rain and cloud to make you wish you'd bought serious outdoor weather gear.
I've hiked to the top of Snowdon /Yr Wyddfa twice; each time it was so cloudy at the top that there was no view at all (on the 2nd trip it was thundering and lightning on the way down, which was a bit scary).
We went on the train up snowdon, but it was so foggy the train only went 5/8ths up the mountain
I told you Snowdonia is beautiful😁
Gooood Morninggg Adventures!! 😛
Yeah...went up Snowdon once in cloud too hahah...you couldn't see your hand in front of your face :)
Great hike today, guys.
So pleased I stuck with this video, as it turned out to be awesome! Never seen one of yours before and I don't normally subscribe to big channels but I have to watch your Helvellyn video, (as I love that climb) as well. At first I was like... What, it this amature hour, late start, no proper equipment but continued watching and it was a real fun, well produced and edited watch. I have done the 3 highest peaks in the UK and Snowdon was the one that left me totally underwhelmed. To be fair, we were forced (due to a friends bad knee) to take the tourist (Llanberis) path and the weather was pants all the way to the top, so we never got a view either lol. Good to see you got down and eventually, back to your digs safely. Great watch, cheers Alan
That goat sounded like the one that someone made on the tayler swift song trouble on you tube 😂😂 if you type in goat tayler swift trouble, should pop up with it quite funny sounds the same x
I'm ashamed to say, I've worked in Llanberis for years and but I have not yet been up Snowdon 🙈 I'll have to change that sometime soon. Great video!
The start of the trail at Pen-y-pass is about 1/3rd the height of the mountain so you did most of it. If you get up to Scotland, see if you can get to Fort William and climb Ben Nevis (highest in the UK). You start from near see level and do 1/3rd as much again (so twice the rise). Take proper clothing - jumpers and waterproofs... Views from both summits in good weather are off the scale.
