A Night In A Mountain Cave | This Trip Went Wrong! - Cnicht Part 1

  • I set out to beautiful Cnicht all excited for the adventure ahead, with no idea how challenging it was going to be. This trip was hard! The paths on the OS map that I’d planned my route by didn’t actually exist (to be fair, I should know that the OS maps tell fibs by now!) So, I made my way through an evergreen forest full of blow-downs, crossed streams, got engulfed by shoulder-deep ferns and threw myself and my gear over a high wall. All before being greeted with a lot of pathless, ankle-breaking terrain on Yr Arddu. I lost my drone - likely it fell out of my waist bag during one of the many map checks that I had to do to navigate the crazy terrain. I worried that I wasn’t going to make the cave before nightfall, but I did find it in the end and have a lovely and cosy night there.
    Cnicht is known by some as the 'Welsh Matterhorn', due to its stunning pyramid shape - gorgeous isn't it! :D
    See you in part two: • I BAILED! Tick Nightma... for more things going wrong haha! And my first time bailing on a camp since I started making these videos 1 year ago

    As a landowner of grazing land and forestry in Snowdonia careful considerate campers like Claire are welcome because they always leave no trace. In a way we would prefer we dont know they had ever been camping. Open moorland above the high wa[[ and fence lines are often subject to common grazing rights and are open under the Right to Roam to travel on. Subtle and unobtrusive camping is never a problem and folk I see always adhere to this. We dont want money, just take care of yourselves and your camping site so others can enjoy.

    Hi Claire, great video and a perfect example of Type 2 fun that you will remember for a long time! If you want to avoid some of the issues you had early on, there are some useful cues that can be taken from the map. An important thing to know is that the green dashed line you are pointing to at 9:38 is only the public right of way, i.e. the legal designation - for actual paths there usually needs to be a black dashed line like the one going over Cnicht summit. On the OS map legend it usually says something like 'rights of way may not be well defined on the ground'. Where both green and black are on top of each other (like the path coming up from Gelli-Iago just to the north of where you started) the path is normally good - although not guaranteed! Some green 'rights of way only' lines without the black dashes can still be good paths, but some - particularly those that stop in the middle of nowhere like the one on Yr Arddu - are often red herrings as you found out. Finally your pencil line at 9:38 that follows the high ground north from Yr Arddu is not a path either - if you check the legend these dotted black routes are parish boundaries. Sometimes paths have formed on them because walkers have mistaken them for paths but not always. Anyway hope this helps you when planning more days out! :)

    That cave: Take the left lower easy fork (where the main path from Croesor turns right up Cnicht) for 45 mins up towards the col from where Snowdon may be viewed. Before reaching the shallow lake, turn a short left and the cave is on your right after no more than 5 mins. The cave is large enough for 1 person, or 2 if you like it cosy.

    I've had trek experiences like this one you had, where you are drained physically and mentally. The North Coast Trail in British Columbia for me was one that this video made me think of. Great positive attitude, even with adversity. Bushwhacking and trail-blazing definitely adds to it! Isn't it crazy that after that climb, you come up on that stone fence on the side of that mountain. Someone went up there and built that thing; so crazy to think, some shepherd hundreds of years ago (?) did that.

      It is totally crazy! I always wonder about those little stone walls trailing across the high parts of mountains.. who built them, what were they for etc. This one was certainly the tallest I've come across on my travels so far, that shepherd hundreds of years ago must have been pretty serious about containing his massive tall sheep haha. Thank you, this one was draining like you say, I just wasn't expecting it and would have allowed myself more time before sunset if I'd have known what it was gonna be like. But worth it in the end.

    You really are a total badass… this is unreal! Makes me wanna get out on those hills (but from the Croesor side like I said on Instagram!)
    The sparkly gold looking stuff in the cave could be pyrite (also known as fools gold). Quite common across Snowdonia…

    Claire no lie about this, 2 youtuber I know have done this get a gofundme < for a new drone. And put your link out to your fans. If every person give you £2 think how much you would get towards a new one. It’s not begging people love your content and I’m sure people would agree to this. X

    Very cool to find a cave that's far enough in the wild it hasn't been vandalized. The known caves in my area are protected sites. Not only for bat hibernation in the winter, but they also served as burial sites. You can see human bones encased within the mineral structures.

    As people today get older, I doubt anyone will recall a particular video game they played, however the memories of camping in the wild will stay with those who venture outdoors for a lifetime. I loved your video, that cave looked so cosy.

    As a hiker that's covered the French Alps to Wales and back, I feel your pain for when it's bad weather, and also having antibiotics for tick bites some year's back 🤦‍♂️ how did you lose the drone, was a zip undone? Hope it wasn't to expensive, but take pride in what you do and keep up the good work 👍

    Just recently started to watch your adventures and have to say you're an inspiration! I spent many years travelling alone most of the time,around England, as never been abroad before! At the time it feels like youre the only person out there! I myself got my buzz from knowing that,I used to do Facebook blogs and stuff but kind of lost the reason I was out there in the first place,so personally I got more out of it knowing I was alone without an audience..had some of the best days of my life and met some truly amazing peaple,just like yourself! Rock on girl and keep being free! Rob from London.

    I really appreciate seeing videos like this where it's not all perfect!
    I did three two day walking / camping trips this summer. Each time I loved the walking on day one, then had a bad camping setup for one reason or another and couldn't really sleep properly. So each time I set off ridiculously early the next morning, got soaking wet boots from dewy grass, and ended up tired, grumpy, with sore feet and having a completely sucky time of it on day two. I couldn't wait to get home / to the pub and for the walk to be over.
    I still want to do it again though.

    One of the wonderful and most powerful things you do to make your videos better than the rest, is your use of music. Whilst watching (and enjoying) I noticed that the chosen music really did enhance your mood changes. That was excellent. And you make it magically sound like you're only talking to me. Which of course you are. Long may you reign as Qween Of The Wild. I'm in total admiration.
    Huge hugs, and be safe, Dave in Yorkshire.
