Get ready for an incredible adventure as we journey through the stunning Brecon Beacons National Park! Join me on my first visit to this breathtaking location as I attempt to camp on top of Picws Du, one of the highest peaks in the park, overlooking the picturesque Llyn Y Fan Fach.
Throughout our hike, we'll explore multiple gorgeous waterfalls, take a refreshing wild swim, and stop over at Llyn y Fan Fawr to refill our water before tackling the steepest part of the climb up to Fan Brycheiniog. But that's not all!
Conditions were incredibly windy, but I was equipped with my trusty Helium 600 Mountain Equipment sleeping bag, which kept me warm and cozy throughout the night. And my nature hike tent was a champ, holding up well against the fierce winds.
Don't miss the inspiring philosophical ending of this video! Come with me on this unforgettable solo camping adventure and discover the beauty of Brecon Beacons National Park in a whole new way!
See you on the next adventure!
