A North Wales Adventure. Hiking and Scrambling in the Carneddau Mountains. Camping by a Stream. @simonablokeinthewoods

Uploaded July 2022 | Updated September 2026, 47 minutes ago

In this video, I am joined by Jason Eke from Trailguide pictures as we head up into the mountains of the Carneddau range in North Wales. We spend the day hiking and scrambling up four peaks, three of them 3000ft Munros and exploring this beautiful range before descending back down and making camp beside a beautiful stream in the valley below.

A well earned hearty dinner and a couple of beers and very soon our weary bodies cannot resist a good nights sleep before the long drive back to Norfolk (in a broken Land Rover…)

I hope you enjoy the video and please head over to Jason’s channel and give him a sub - his video will be up in due course.

Thanks for watching.
