    Nice weather and nice views too but is is so annoying when you loose footage, something I have done more than once! Well you certainly found solitude and solitude with a great view too and I remember seeing Pink Floyd at Newcastle City Hall in the early 70s. When the sun did arrive, it arrived with a bang, so a very productive camp I would say, cheers Alan

      Thanks Alan. That trip was just what I needed after a hectic time (nowt bad - just busy!). I last saw Pink Floyd at Knebworth 1975, we got the full "Dark Side" and the first performance of tracks from "Animals" and "Wish you were here". Happy days! Thanks for watching, ATB, Roger

    Finding solitude is certainly a marvelous thing!! Can really alter a person's mind...for the better. Peace...isn't that something all of us are in pursuit of.

      It certainly is. Precious little of it around sometimes! Thanks for watching.

    One of my favourite spots just the other side of the trig point 👌🏻. It’s worth coming from the west through Herbert’s quarry along the Beacons Way. Some lovely history

      I'll be coming from the west in a few weeks attempting the Beacons Way. ATB, Roger

      Thanks John. As well as the claggy camps recently life had been a bit cluttered leading up to this trip. Felt good to just sit and look at the view for a while. ATB, Roger

    A nice, easy watch, Roger. That sunrise was beautiful. I've been fancying a camp at this spot for a few years now, but I've yet to do so. It's a beautiful spot. When I walked the B.W my heart sank when I realised I had to make that descent just to do an ascent straight back up, it was a tough climb too. I'd skip straight across and don't tell anyone 😉

      @@thewanderingforester Looks really nice. I'm going to check it out next years. Drove through Wales and I though it was really cool. I didn't have time to do any real exploring.
      Thank you.

    I want to know while you were there what the situation is at night?
    Can you see stars ? Is it really dark sky area ?
    Please advise
    and thanks

    • @thewanderingforester
      @thewanderingforester  3 месяца назад +1

      When I was there it was almost a full moon so not good stargazing weather. But yes, it's part of the dark sky area of the Brecon Beacons.
