Conquering the Welsh Matterhorn: Wild Camping in the shadow of Cnicht!

In this video we head out on our first wild camp in the beautiful Moelwyn mountain range of Snowdonia National Park. Our journey centred on conquering Cincht, commonly referred to as the Welsh Matterhorn. From the summit we picked out a camp spot between two Llyn's a couple of miles in the distance. The weather was both windy and wet in typical British fashion. Being unfamiliar to the area and with plenty of off piste navigating, we took our time to scour the location for a suitable camp. The tents on this trip are the Wild Country Blizzard 2, Fjallraven Abisko Lite 2 and Hilleberg Soul. Darkness fell quickly on camp, so we took to sheltering in the tents to start tea. on the menu was fillet beef in black pepper sauce with a few beers to wash it down. The next morning came and so did the weather. The wind picked up and must have been gusting at around 40mph. Being inexperienced with a new tent, we then made a crucial and very costly mistake when packing away. We hope you enjoy the video.
