Brecon Beacons

If they're not day ones, they're glamping.

So we're still going to the same site, which is like on the foothill of like the Brecon Beacons, which if I know well, she's listening.

It's a beautiful part of Wales.

So we have a glamping retreat there every year.

Our first story tonight for this special Halloween week edition of Scared to Death takes us to Wales.

To the Brecon Beacons, this mountainous region of southern Wales filled with rolling green hills, deep valleys, waterfalls, caves, ancient ruins, scattered farms, and long stretches of countryside where especially at night you can feel so very, very alone.

In the spring of 1989, an English artist named Bill Rich thought he had found a paradise there, a secluded old farmhouse where he and his family could build a new life.

beautiful place, a peaceful place, a place where Bill could focus on his art and his Welsh soon-to-be wife, Liz, where the two of them could raise their new baby, where their family could escape some of the noise and the stress of the outside world.

Hello, you're welcome.

What's the area like? I mean, I'm assuming, I'm hoping that it's not as difficult to get to as the top of Carracoch in the Brecon Beacons where Martin's family have connections.

But Twizzlehead Moss sounds pretty remote.

What's it like?

Yeah.

Another fundamental assessment we went through is we had to, for 36 hours, we had to cross about 80 kilometers in the Brecon Beacons in Wales, which is, you know, serious mountainous train where the SAS train is selected.

And, you know, I think we were carrying like 80 pounds in weight.

And there was 250 of us and we were in teams of eight.

Who knows from there? Unai is what we can't afford to lose.

That's Chris from the Brecon Beacons.

Now, that game was a half-past-12 kick-off.

If Chris is only just setting off now, Chris, I think...

So I did the first Iceland trek in 2016 with Chris Hallinger herself, which was amazing.

And then I did the Brecon Beacons in 2023.

So they were multi-day treks.

And then I've done lots of one-day ones.
