Camping in the Ghost Town of Penwyllt (Ogof Ffynon Du)

Me and Drufus go wild camping in one of the best hidden gems of the Swansea valley – Penwyllt. Otherwise known as Ogof Ffynon Du nature reserve. A village which used to house a population of 500 and have it’s own quarries, train station, pub, post office, kilns and factories. Now it’s nearly totally back to nature as a ghost town.

We arrived in the wet rain and constant drizzle. We had a soaking at the start but soon forgot about it and woke up to some great views and sunshine.
Didn’t do as much filming as I normally do but think I’ve put something half decent together.
