  • So from time to time I do get asked for vlog style videos and I have done them in the past (Castleton & York). I have recently visited Llechwedd Slate Glamping 🏔⛺️ up on the mountain tops of Snowdonia in North Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 and have decided to film my 2 day stay there. The location is very secluded and off grid and if you like disconnecting from the world every now and then (I'm sure we all do) then this will be the place for you! its a back to basics.. fire, views and a nature kind of place but totally peaceful and great for some headspace.
    Video's like this break up the channel and it gives you all a little bit of insight into what I get up to when I'm not filming my Vlogumentaries. I know it's not everyones cuppa tea but I like to put them on the channel as some of you might like to visit these kinds of places? And if you can't get out at least it might feel like you have just for that short time.
    So anyway, I will be dropping this video on Friday so keep your eyes out for it, and if its not for you then I'll see you in the next Video!
    Take care everyone & as always thanks for the support! - D.M ✌️🐒

    Loved it! The three of you had a great break and it was a pleasure to watch. The idea of having the warmth of the wood fire, beer, the sound of the rain on the roof and of course the good company... can't beat it!

    That was great DM. Thanks for bringing us along on your wet weekend in Wales. I'm amazed by your editing skills, even your choice of music was inspired. The use of slow motion and fading set the mood perfectly. Brilliant job mate.

    Ahhhh, you did look sad at the end, I could tell you were sorry to be leaving such a beautiful location. Snowdonia is spectacular any time of the year - I know the mountains well from my younger days of hiking and climbing. Got me interested in this glamping business now though - extra comfort much appreciated. Happy all three of you had a brill weekend and thanks for sharing. Take care all of you.

    Loved this video, it looks really peaceful out there and you did include a bit of historical content as well. LOL I can relate to your panic attack, it has happened to me many times, it's either food, money or gas. It's okay if it's my buddies and I, but with wife and kids the anxiety turns to 11. For panic cuisine I usually go with smoked sausages and tortillas, easy on a stove or fire.

Mags is just *ACE* 😍💕🐾. There should definitely be a Daft Monkey and Mags show! Hilarious filming of you ‘returning from the hunt’ dragging your kill of hotdogs and buns 😂. Love everything you do and this has been wonderful to watch. Wondered if that little room under the bridge would have been something to do with goods or n/out for the slate mine with it being next to the toad, acting as a little hut/shelter for a man? Really enjoyed watching this 😍 #goMags x
