Having never celebrated Beltane, the explanation on the Scenic Boys site does come in handy, but whatever the meaning of it, this trip that the boys took recently really does look like a lot of fun. Take a bunch of clearly very close friends, partners, some camping gear, some shiny hooded capes, a couple of video cameras and a fun attitude and you get a great weekend away.
I’m posting two videos from this weekend that the guys went on. One is the Scenic Boys usual video of their adventures, capturing the fun, with some explanations from the boys of the area etc. They have such a passion and enthusiasm for the wilderness and their friends that comes across whenever you watch one of their videos.

The other video is by one of their mates, Matthew. I’ve shared a couple of his videos on here before. He’s got such a great eye for detail and is movies are richly soaked in vibrant colour, crawling with little creatures and edited beautifully with a great soundtrack.
