    That's a shame about the carpark Andy. Good route,the horseshoe is 👌 gives you another reason to come back I guess 😁 I've parked at the Neuadd carpark quite a few times over night and not had a problem. I've camped on "Dai's terrace" myself....Good little spot that is 👌 awesome video 👍

      You're dissing the good people of south yorkshire with one foul swoop there 😂 we have a lot in common with the south welsh.....coal and steel. I worked in merthyr for a couple of week, great people and when I sang " on ilkley moor bah t'at" one night pissed up in a pub they loved it lol. Just saying....

      Interesting @Ant-66 . When we stayed at a local farm just below there years ago, the farmer (born n bred there) pronounced it Corn Vee/Dhee. 🤷

Im currently watching this video while camping in my x mid on windy gyle in the cheviot hills, my daughter and i have just started the Pennine way, north to south.

    I've parked in the Neudd valley carpark overnight often and never had a problem so far. I'd imagine it's more likely to be weekends and daytime there'd be problems when the carpark is full. Nice to see you in the Beacons and good to see them from a new pair of eyes. There's quite a lot to go at in the park, and a lot of quieter places away from the honeypots of Pen y Fan. ( Pen uh van) and Corn Du. (Corn Dee).

    Great to see you out in my neck of the woods. That’s a spot I’ve never pitched on but I’ve always had my eye on it, you’re right about it being a popular spot. I tend to stay away from that side of the road as it can get really busy up there. Great watch as per usual 👌🏻

    I’m also N.T. member and scan twice but was told it’s not about “paying” it’s because you log up two visits which shows better visitor numbers to that particular site/attraction and this in turn gives them better funding from N.T.
    Just did it this morning at the one next to Honister Slate Mine.

    The car park you didnt use is a great place to start the full horseshoe walk, not the cut down version many people opt for. Its about 12 miles and 1100m of climbing and is probably the best day out in the Beacons.

    It's pronounced 'Corn Dee'. It means Black Horn.
    Corn = Horn

    Andy, I had infected route canal and had it extracted they numbed me up a lot for it wasn’t too bad felt like they were pulling a tuft of grass out. Pen y fan is my nearest mountain 2 hours from Cotswolds where I live. If you fancy going for a camp on Picws Du it’s meant to be even better in Brecon Beacons and much quieter give me a shout. Dave

    That looked like a really nice camp with the sort of conditions that we are all going to be yearning for once the sweat fest and midgie season starts. Its been a fairly crappy start to summer but at least we are supposed to be having some respite from the constant rain 🤞Good luck with the extraction and on the plus side think about the 2/3 grams you will be saving 😉. Have you thought about getting the Buy Me A Coffee thing Andy because i believe its a better deal for the creator than the Thanks thing ?

    • @AndrewBeavers
      @AndrewBeavers  Месяц назад +1

      eyup olan ive been advised about the buy me a coffee thing but tbh im not bothered..ive never "begged" for folk to send money in any way etc & the only reason i monetise the channel is due to youtube monetising any video at will & then the creator not being able to claim monetisation..
      im not a fan of camping in hot weather id rather it be cold so for me roll on winter lol..
