Woodland Hammock Camp. Hiking in the Brecon Beacons. World War Two Bomber Wreck.
In this video, I am in the Brecon Beacons in South Wales for an overnight woodland camp with Kent Survival at the fantastic Wildman Woods wild campsite and a hike up into the mountains in search of a World War Two bomber wreck. After setting up our hammocks, we get the fire lit and set about cooking dinner - a meat feast barbecue washed down with plenty of good beer.
The morning brings more sunshine for the days adventure in the hills - a search for the haunting wreckage of a Lancaster bomber that crashed in the remote hills above the campsite in the 1940s.
I hope you enjoy the video.
Thanks for watching.

    Hello Simon! Love your videos and the adventures you take us on. Really enjoyable! Thank you! Question Will you have any patches for sale? I keep seeing the one Andy has on his pack, and it's pretty nice. I just bought a velcro one and a leather one from TA Outdoors, and I would live to grow my collection from channels that I enjoy the most. I'm hoping Andy puts more out for sale, as well. 🙂 Have a great week!
