This wild camping adventure takes place in the rugged Brecon Beacons, featuring a challenging, windswept hike to the summit of Cribyn alongside fellow outdoor creators. After battling brutal winds to pitch a Hilleberg Soulo tent, the evening winds down with a comforting, warm meal of beef stew and dumplings inside the shelter. The trip concludes with a stormy night and a misty morning descent, perfectly capturing the unpredictable and atmospheric beauty of mountain camping in Wales.
