Looks like you all had a great time.

Love the tribute title to Ray! You know, I never thought of bushcraft as "camping (it up)", but lookin at the picture of Ray in his stetson has made me re think my wardrobe choices!

It goes on a bit but you get to listen to a groovy Portishead tune

Got to be honest, when my daughter saw some pictures of the bushmoot with several 'cowboy' hats in view, her comment was "thats soooooooooo gay." Kids

Is your first bivvy/camp on the Pinnacles above Capel Curig?
I prefer the music on the Snowdonia clip!

The nearest carpark was at Plas Gwynant.

We didnt get there untill about 2am ,so we didnt want to venture too far

It was pretty cool waking up to snow covered mountains

Enjoyed the YouTube films. Good fun. But isn't publicising what is essentially an illegal activity a bit rash? I'm all for a bit of discreet wild camping. Then again, maybe you had land owners permission?

 

[Atomic Bimbler]

It is always polite to get the land owners permision b4 camping on their land, I have never had experience of a welsh farmer having a problem with it (altho they may not let u have open fires), especially if you offer them the going camp site rate.

I will admit to a few occations of not being able to do so due to adverse weather and/or bad planning. This is NOT the way to do it, but whatever the circumstances, we leave no trace of being there.
