At 720m, Rhinog Fawr is a dinky mountain, but don’t let the height of the Rhinogs fool you – they are some of the wildest, most rugged landscape in the UK. The bad weather and low visibility combined with the difficult terrain made this one of my most challenging trips to date. I just love this place!

A boring but important note on being sensible(ish): these mountains and conditions are challenging and potentially dangerous. It has taken me years to feel confident enough in my abilities and my gear and I still have much to learn, but never intentionally put yourself beyond your personal capabilities. Navigation is essential in these parts, and if you aren't taking a tent, always take some form of bivvy. Always be prepared :)

In the spirit of being prepared, I’ve just ordered some of the waterproof OS Active Maps – my map was getting well scuffed up in the rain

Apologies for the wind noise in this, I was using an external mic with a muff but it got wet and became kinda useless. As you can probably tell, this was another phone jobby as my camera is still being repaired.

I arrived at the Rhinogs with a flat tyre, a huuge thank you to Alan, Lucy, Oscar & Tom for putting my spare on for me despite my locking wheel nut being a wonky pain in the ass, and the guys who lent your pliers to straighten it out, THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH

2 weeks after filming this trip I returned to Rhinog Fawr with @AshOutdoorsUK & found the exact spot that I camped – I’ve added this at the end to show you my pitch in good visibility :)
