Mountain Camp in Extreme Wind and Snow Storm. Highest Lake in Wales. Broken Tent. Aircraft Wreck.

In this video, I head up into the high mountains of the Carneddau Range in Snowdonia for a wild camp next to the highest lake in Wales. After climbing through hail and sleet up to 2800ft, I finally arrive at my camp spot - the small lake of Ffynnon Llyffant, an eerie spot strewn with the wreckage of a huge bomber that crashed here in thew 1950s. After setting up my small tent, I clamber inside to take refuge from the worsening weather - weather that intensifies over night, destroying my tent and threatening to expose me to the snow storm raging outside. I do love a bit of extreme weather - it can bring an adventure to life and the challenges it presents can be hugely uplifting if you are prepared and equipped to face them. The mountains can be dangerous places to be when the weather turns, so always be prepared for the worst, dress sensibly, let others know where you are going and when you expect to return and be prepared to use a map and compass to get you safely off the mountain. I hope you enjoy the video. Thanks for watching.
