About

Hi and thank you for visiting my channel! My name is Simon and I am a dedicated outdoors enthusiast. I love spending time in the woods, on the river in my canoe, up in the hills or anywhere away from the man-made modern world! I also love to make stuff - usually gear to accompany me on my adventures outdoors. So, if you have similar interests, I hope you’ll find the videos interesting and entertaining - come and join me on my adventure! Cheers, Simon.

Video Description

In this video, I am up in the mountains of North Wales having just spent the night in my broken tent during a snow storm. I head down to a lower altitude to meet with a friend at Dulyn Bothy - a mountain refuge hut where we spend the night sheltered from the biting cold and snow and enjoy a warm fire, a few drinks and great company. The Bothy at Dulyn reservoir is one of many owned and maintained by the Mountain Bothies Association. They are free to use and accommodate several people, offering shelter from the weather in remote mountainous regions. They are basic, but usually have bunks of some description, simple furniture, a place to prepare food and some have a fire place to warm up. You can join the Mountain Bothies Association for an annual fee that helps fund the maintenance of these fantastic resources. I hope you enjoy the video. Thanks for watching.
