Bronze Age Cairns and Wild Camp: Black Mountain West

The half of the mountain nobody walks. A dam built by conscientious objectors, limestone that swallows rivers, and two 4,000-year-old burial cairns on the Garreg Las ridge.

What this is

Most walking videos show you the summit. I'm more interested in what you're standing on: the crashed bomber nobody signposts, the reservoir built by conscientious objectors, the Bronze Age grave you'd walk past as a pile of stones. Every route here has a film on the channel and a write-up you can actually follow, with distances, ascent, water, terrain and the navigation that catches people out.

From the field notes

The routes tell you where I walked. These cover everything around the walking.

The kit

What I actually carry

The pack, the camera rig and the honest notes on what has not earned its place.
