Wild camping on Pen Cerrig-Calch in the Brecon Beacons/Black Mountains, Wales. In this video I review some of my mid-range camping equipment and walking gear, whilst my two eldest boys and I enjoy a walk up to the summit at 701m. Tents used are the Hilleberg Soulo, the Fjallraven Abisko Lite 1 and the Jack Wolfskin Gossamer 2.
