The best adventure you’ll ever have is right on your doorstep [3 days in Snowdonia]

(good subtitles available)
I'm on a quest to inspire the nation to fall in love with the great outdoors, but it dawned on me recently that I might be failing. After all, not everyone wants to be chased by a farmer or get lost in a sewer. I needed to strip things back to basics, so this summer I grabbed a tent, a sleeping bag and a few other bits and set off into the mystical landscapes of Snowdonia for what is probably my all time favorite style of adventure: Three days of hiking through nature, finding great wild camping spots, indulging in some wild swimming and wild cooking, and ending up at a cosy pub.
In some ways this is quite a big departure from my usual jaunts - there's less danger or jeopardy involved (although still a fair bit), but I'm really hoping that by the time you've watched it you'll have a new found appreciation for this magical place, and maybe even a new perspective on what it means to embark on an epic adventure.
This is going out to YouTube tomorrow btw. I know a fair few of you Patreons are already big outdoors lovers, in which case I hope you enjoyed watching anyway!😊

You're wales mission played a huge part in me getting out and camping, which wasn't something I've done since I was a kid with my Dad. I ended up going solo from Chippenham to Swindon, mostly just following lanes and getting beeped at for walking along the side of a dual carriageway with a tent on my back. Even if it was a messy and rather uneventful adventure, I still enjoyed it. Cut to last year and I took a group of 6 mates with me up Snowdon. We camped near the lake, and one of the guys kept getting paranoid someone was outside his tent because of the wind, hence was born the legend of the Tent Toucher. All in all, your videos have definitely gotten people out there.

I've chosen not to make this route public Callum, sorry mate. Yeah you'll have to indulge in a bit of geo detective haha

Would love to do the same route. Is there anyway to find it on OS Maps? Or will I have to do some Geodetective route planning myself? Haha!

Starting to get cold out in the US where I live, but this still makes me want to get out for a weekend and roam. Much love Tom, safe adventuring! Can't wait for the next vid.
