- Mark takes a hike up the Teifi Pools in the Cambrian Mountains Wales UK before setting up camp at the edge of Llyn Egnant in the Teifi pools, the weather was really warm and sunny, but overnight the weather changed with high winds but no rain thankfully, but all in all it was a lovely day and nights camp. Thanks for watching.
Awesome natural view, im camping vlogger from indonesia, respect to you 👍
Cheers buddy glad you like 👍👌😁
Great vid Mark. So good to get out and be free... Fab place to wild camp. Its going on my list.
Thank you Stephen really appreciate the lovely comment 😁 you won’t regret it, it is awesome up there just wish it wasn’t so windy but that was my fault I guess as I didn’t check the forecast ( schoolboy error on my part lol ) I won’t do that again lol ATB Mark 👍👌
Another great video! one of my favourite areas the Cambrian Mountains and far less people
Thanks again Stuart appreciate that it is lovely up there and you are right less people 👍👌
Windy and cold, no sleep.. Can’t wait for the next one!! Haha we must be mad 🤘🤣
After the day I had in the sun to the wind in the night was just one extreme to another, crazy 👌👍
There BAAAACK!! So good to see you out Mark!! Great to see you out. Shorts and a tee too!!! Love that cheap little wind screen.
Cheers Tim, tee shirt and shorts is how I roll in the warmer weather 😁 and the windshield is defo a good deal for the money Cheers Mark 👌👍
Thank for sharing Mark. Maybe Aliexpress sell earplugs 😁😁. ATB Grays
I will look into it ATB Mark 😂😂👌👍
@@Twin_Peaks_Outdoors 😂😂
Morning mate 😁. Lovely place. Last time we were up there. We were pined in by two bad weather fronts. Thunder lightning. It was bloody amazing, but dangerous. But it is great up they. Tc Andy 👍
I’m not a fan of thunder and lightning lol but you are right it is lovely up there I’ll defo go there again ATB Mark 👌👍
At 1:23 Spiderman jumped on board to join the adventure 🤣. Looking forward to this one as I'm planning a visit up there soon. Sub'd, cheers Jonathan
Thanks Jonathan, it is lovely up there so peaceful as well , I will check out the spider and your channel also 👌😁👍
@@Twin_Peaks_Outdoors Thanks mate. What are the parking options like round there. It will be my first wild camp in Wales (not been there since 1997 😄)
@@My24hradventure Hi Jonathan, parking is ok there are pull in places around the lakes and grassy areas as well although I didn’t see any car parks around but there has to be some, it is a big area and I only saw a little bit of it lol 👌😁👍
@@Twin_Peaks_Outdoors that's great thanks! 👍. Btw did you see the spider. It seemed to have been carried with the wind and land on your head at about 1:23 and then crawl away. 😊
That reminds me, let me know how much you want for a table 👍
Ok bud I’ll let you know next week when I get home 👌👍
Good outing. You put the solo through its test. I've used it for some years. It is a good tent - It can handle a storm but more for lower down I reckon. Mark
Cheers Mark, yeah it did handle the wind but lower down or in the woods would be better ATB Mark 👌👍
@@Twin_Peaks_Outdoors Aaah, that's good. Yeah, it's not a storm tent so much although In Scotland I took one full frontal in it. Good to know what it can take.
I have one of those windshields but got ripped off it cost me about £3 🤣🤣🤣
It pays to shop around 😂😂
Great Video Mark, Need to try those Rations
Cheers Roy, the reindeer stew is tasty 😋 but expensive 😢👍👌
Great video Mark, I thought you had gone all Zen with no wine and meditating by the buetiful Teffi pools but oh no back to reality.
Top spot, Ive been close a few times but never there.
All the best.
🍻👍
Cheers Dave glad you liked it, one night without drink won’t do me any harm will it lol 😂😂 although normal service will probably be resumed on the next one 😁 ATB Mark 👌👍
Nice one Mark, good to see you back out wildcamping. That area looks a cracking spot and quiet is how I like it, not a soul to be seen. Looking forward to your next one buddy. Atb Daz 😁👍🏻🏕
Cheers Daz, it was great to be out can’t wait for more camps in the future 😁👌👍
Charming Vid Mark! That spot looks good medicine for the soul. Like the minimalist challenge too. We always take too much stuff eh. One of the trial of UK climate!
Cheers Craig glad you liked it only just noticed you’ve changed your channel name lol 😂
What an amazing spot to camp! Isn't it strange that when out hiking, sun shining, cool breeze it's easy to forget that later on it could be wet and blowing a gale. All part of the fun though eh? Get some earplugs, they definitely help block the sound of the wind and help with a better sleep. Thanks for the video, great way to spend my Sunday morning. 🙂
Cheers bud glad you liked the video I will definitely get some earplugs I don’t know why I haven’t thought of that before 😁 ATB Mark 👍👌
@@Twin_Peaks_Outdoors Can't remember the name of mine now but the earplugs are the ones that are designed for sleeping rather than just blocking some noise while working outdoors etc. I'm sure a quick Google search will bring them up but they are a godsend when the wind and rain is battering away. You looked knackered in the morning, got to say I did laugh 🙂🙂🙂
@@whatsnottohike I did looked knackered it wasn’t a pretty sight lol I will check those earplugs out I might get some for the missus while I’m at it I do snore a fair bit apparently 😂😂😂
Another good watch, but i was giggling to myself at the end, i think we've all been there, stay safe,
Cheers Neil, it wasn’t the best ending but I got through it I always do lol 😁👌👍
Enjoyed your video Mark.....im thinking about getting the gossamer gear the one tent.....similar yet 200 grams lighter and weeny bit more money......i like your little folding table/pot placemat thingy.....can you tell me where you got that from please?? looks really practical/......
I got some gear tips for you in return......i bought a brilliant little torch off ali express....called a Nicron Duel fuel 90 degrees bending torch ....now the reason why i mention this is if you also get the Outdoor rotatable tactical flashlight holster off ali express you can clip the torch to your rucksack harness strap and its brilliant for handsfree map reading at night or for angling to shine on your path/show you way...both were cheap as chips and practical..
Over the years ive used my petzl nao the best headtorch ive ever owned....very expensive yet amazing...has a light meter built in so will save the battery by dimming the beam accordingly if say walking past lights in a area...
Im sure we all know about these but ile mention anyway......sealskinz socks for waterproofing if needed....they are superb. ..and i bought a really cool multi tool which is one of the first in the world to have hot swappable blades ....the Roxon Phantom multi tool....its awesome...you can swap the main blade in seconds and it has great big scissors on it...it was about 50 quid off ebay.....you have the option of ordering 20 other style main blades if you wish too....ive got the same cooking kit as you but am going to get the msr pocket rocket for an ultra light option also....hope you like the kit ideas best wishes.....alex
Hi Alex glad you liked the vid the foldable table I made myself out of a 4mm sheet of correx which I had for nothing it’s basically a rip off of the cascade wild table that’s widely available but didn’t cost me £12 quid 😉 I like the sound of the Nicron duel torch I’m gonna take a look on AliExpress ATB Mark 👌👍
@@Twin_Peaks_Outdoors cool mark yes do......youle need the tactical holster which it slips neatly into then you can angle the torch onto the trail ahead of you or a map.......just simple and effective...the little nicron torch even has strobe sos on it which was a surprise to me...thanks for the notes on the table i was looking on Ultralightoutdoorgear and seen the cascade so prob get it....but thanks to you i never knew it existed beforehand.....happy days cheers mate....keep going with the lovely vids.
@@MIBIncomeEncourager cheers Alex 👊👌👍😁
Another great vlog Mark.... bit of rain and wind adds to the drama mun... lol
Cheers Taff, it added drama alright lol but still very enjoyable 👌👍
Beautiful location Mark but I have to ask if you checked the weather forecast?
It just goes to show newcomers to wild camping how things can change and to prepare for all eventualities.
I loved your useful lightweight table, looks like a great bit of kit to take camping 👍
I look forward to your next adventure atb Taff 🤠👊
Cheers Taff, I didn’t check the weather I normally do lol 😂 I won’t make that mistake again 😁 it is a lovely location as well and as for the lightweight I reckon you would like one 😁😁 👌👍
Great Video Mark! What’s your food cosy made of? I’d like to make one myself.
Hi glad you liked the video, for the food cosy you just need some silver thermal bubble wrap you can get it in B&Q or tool station plus or probably most builders merchants 👍👍
@@Twin_Peaks_Outdoors thanks mate!👍
@@marktwy1 no worries bud 👌👍
Have a spa day and look 10 years younger or go wild camping and look 10 years older in one night😂😂😂. Brilliant video mate, look forward to the next
Cheers mate, glad you enjoyed it I did look rough in the morning lol 😂 that’s what no sleep does for you 😁😁
@@CampNWildWithTheDragon It's all good Dai,I only comment when I'm on my laptop as its a pain in the ass to do it on my phone with my defective eyesight.👀👀✌️👍🏴🏴🏴 I'll make sure I comment in future 😂😂
1st 🤘😎🍻
You are always first lol 😂
@@Twin_Peaks_Outdoors notification squad 💪🤣
Could you please tell what brand of pillow you got there ?
Hi Palle, it is the Trekology Aluft 2.0 inflatable pillow 👌👍
Great Video mark, looks like you had quite the adventure. I’m heading up that way for a couple of night in July & have been looking at these lakes as a possible stop one of the nights. Is the area really as quiet as your video makes out or were there queues of people all waiting to take selfies behind ya. Any Hints & tips regarding this area would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Michael thanks for watching really appreciate the nice comment, this area is quite vast and apart from the odd dog Walker there might be a camper van or two dotted around but apart from that when I was there once you get off the min paths you won’t see a soul and you can walk for miles without seeing anyone 😁hope that helps ATB Mark 👍👌
@@Twin_Peaks_Outdoors Thanks for the reply. I'm more excited now then I previously was. I'll be checking out your other videos real soon.
@@MichaelDavid7777 cheers buddy really appreciate it anything else you want to know then fire away 👌👍
@@Twin_Peaks_Outdoors I see you have a lot of videos up. if you could recommend ones that focus on the areas close to the Claerwen dam, the Moel Prysgau Bothy & the Claerddu Bothy that would be great. my July trip is gonna be 2-3 nights striating at the dam hiking to the lakes (or the Claerddu bothy) then towards the Moel Prysgau bothy before returning to the dam.
@@MichaelDavid7777 we’ve done a video of the Moel Prysgau Bothy not so long back but haven’t been to the Claerddu Bothy yet I was gonna go there when I went to the Teifi pools last year but didn’t get round to it 😩😩
Hi mark are you still using the abisko lite 2 and if so how’s it held up for you thanks ian
Hi Ian yes we are still using the Abisko it is a great tent and we haven’t had any issues with it so far and we will be using it many more future camps hopefully 🙏👍
@@Twin_Peaks_Outdoors brill thanks for reply I’m looking for a suitable light tent for backpacking and wild camping so il now give this a look thanks again
@@woodnugget1301 no worries bud 👍
Are you allowed to camp around the lakes?
Hi Matt, wild camping is illegal in most parts of the UK, but it is tolerated as long as you arrive late and leave early and leave know trace i.e take all you rubbish home with you, around the Teifi pools it is fairly quiet and there are loads of places to camp away from the roads so you should be ok, I didn’t have any problems when I went there and had a great time ATB Mark 👌👍😁
Are overnight stays allowed now then?
In Wales yes 👍
Hi Mark. Great video. I used to work up there, in fisheries job. How did the LS go with regards rain and wind getting under and in? I haven't tested mine in wild weather yet. Is correct pitching and angle to the wind crucial? Did you get a good high bath tub protection when you pitched it? I'm finding it a bit tricky to get right.
Cheers mate glad you liked the video 😁 it’s a great tent in most weather and held up well in the wind that night
Regarding the high bath tub, I haven’t mastered that bit yet as I’ve only used 3 -4 times and I’m still trying to find the best way of putting it up 😁 let me know how you get on with yours? ATB Mark 👍👌
Will do. I'm hoping to soon. I'm from West Wales, but further south on coast. I might take a hooped bivvy as well first time, as I don't trust my LS pitching yet either And Wales is Wales . . weather! 😂⛺
Real turmat overrated, I've never liked them tbh, summit to eat are far better, half the price twice the quality.
I agree mate I do like Summit to Eat one of my favourites especially the chilli but Turmat are expensive for what it is 👌👍😁
Hey, I hope you are well. I have seen all videos. Very well. I appreciate your work. I have sent an email by ifthekar robin, kindly check it out.
and waiting for your reply.
Thanks
