Hi I'm Andrew,
I get outdoors exploring and hiking on Dartmoor almost every weekend, occasionally wild camp too! And I'm planning to start posting more videos to document and share the mini adventures :)
I also do a bit of astrophotography, and flying, so there may be the odd video or two about that as well!

Scafell Pike from Great Langdale
Third time lucky climbing this one, finally seeing the summit clear of cloud!
This is second time I've filmed it for this channel, but this time from via a different, longer, and more scenic route up to the top.
Starting from old dungeon ghyll in near Great Langdale with a group of friends we all set off on the 12.5 mile track to Scafell Pike.
The first few miles were pretty flat, before a steep climb up to Angle tarn, where we stopped for some lunch with a view. Then it was onwards up to the ridge line running from Great End, which involved a bit of up & down over some pretty rocky terrain before reaching the summit.
Stunning clear day, really warm in the sun & finished off with an incredible pie at the Old Dungeon Ghyll hotel after the walk.

Hiking to the Old Man of Coniston | Lake District
zhlédnutí 155Před rokem
A hike up to the top of the The Old Man of Coniston with some friends. We knew setting off that the summit was likely to be in the cloud, but had another walk planned later in the week that we really wanted the good weather for (video for that coming soon!) It was a very scenic walk with the cloud base sitting around 150m below the summit. 00:00 Intro 00:09 Hiking to Low Water Tarn 04:07 Low Wa...
A cold and windy wild camp on Dartmoor
zhlédnutí 62Před rokem
It's been a while since I've been able to get out camping & this one was a bit of a spur of the moment trip. Just a quick walk up to East Mill which I've been to a few times now, as it's not too far from the car, but gives incredible views of the north moor, and has a decent amount of flat ground all around the rocks, so you can usually get a good amount of shelter from the wind. For this camp ...
The highest tors on Dartmoor in the snow
zhlédnutí 159Před rokem
After a few days of really cold weather, headed up to Dartmoor for a short hike up to the two highest tors. Initially planned to park at the base of West Mill tor, but it was a little too icy to get all the way up, so just parked before it got steep and walked the rest of the way, along the army tracks up to the ridge that runs between these two tors. A very short walk by usual standards, but a...
The highest mountain on the Hebrides | Clisham - Isle of Harris
zhlédnutí 270Před rokem
A slightly damp and very windy day on Harris, but probably the best one in terms of cloud height during my stay on the island, so decided to head up to the highest point, Clisham at 799m. A relatively short walk compared to my usual ones, but it was very boggy underfoot until the last 2-300m or so, and no real defined path so essentially picking our way through the wet areas! The cloud stayed o...

Climbing the highest mountain on South Uist with my friend Matt and his dog Nessie, on one of the best days we had while on the island. we might've seen the summit without cloud if we'd gone a little earlier, but it made it feel quite dramatic walking along the ridge! 00:00 Intro 00:22 Walking through the bog 01:08 Walking past Peat cutting 01:40 More bogs 😂 02:00 Starting the ascent 04:28 Lunc...
A windy walk on Barra - Tangasdale to Dùn Ban | Outer Hebrides
zhlédnutí 63Před rokem
A fairly short walk of only around 3 miles, out to the iron-age fort of Dùn Ban, with my friend Matt & his dog Nessie. There had been a lot of rain blowing through islands in the preceding few days, so it was pretty boggy underfoot for the entire walk and there was also occasional misty rain (or maybe sea spray!) being blown at us, so we had the full waterproofs on for this one. Not much left o...
Hiking to Barra Airport
zhlédnutí 88Před rokem
A relatively short hike from Scurrival Campsite up in the north of Barra, setting off around the top of the island and then down over the hills along it's western coastline, arriving at the incredible airport from the sand dunes. The first in a small series from a recent trip to the outer hebrides.
Dartmoor Wild Camp - East Mill Tor | Baby Lambs 🐑 stunning sunset, and a Dartmoor pony!
zhlédnutí 105Před 2 lety
It was an absolutely stunning day, so decided to head up to East Mill Tor on Dartmoor for a spot of wild camping, along the way there were so many baby lambs around, and a rather inquisitive Dartmoor pony with a foal blocking the path. Managed to have the GoPro in timelapse mode for most of the bits I filmed around the tent once set up, so it wasn't really worth putting those in, but I hope you...
Solo wild camp on Dartmoor | West Mill Tor | Stunning sunset & sunrise!
zhlédnutí 312Před 2 lety
The sunsets recently had all been incredible, so after work one day, with clear skies forecast again, I headed up to Dartmoor for a wild camp & was not disappointed! I opted for West Mill Tor, as it's probably one of the closest ones that you can park near to, and prior to the clocks changing, I had fairly limited time to get there and pitch up before the sun went down. From the car, it's only ...
Llyn Y Fan Fach & Picws Du - Brecon Beacons National Park
zhlédnutí 183Před 2 lety
A roughly 9.5 mile (15 km) hike in the Brecon Beacons. Climbing up to the ridge and walking along it past Picws Du, & Fan Foel, all the way to Fan Brycheiniog, before then descending down to Llyn y Fan Fawr, and following the trail along the bottom of the mountains back to Llyn y Fan Fach and the path down to the car. As you'll probably be able to see in the video, it was incredibly windy up on...
Climbing Snowdon | Watkin trail up, and Pyg trail down
zhlédnutí 123Před 2 lety
Having done Ben Nevis and Scafell Pike recently, I just had to nip up to Wales and climb the highest mountain there too. Rather than taking the the main (llanberis) route up, I picked a campsite where I could turn it into a circular walk from the site. And also hopefully have a slightly less congested route up. So the walk started out with a 2 mile stretch to the beginning of the Watkin Trail, ...
Dartmoor winter wild camp during storm Arwen - it snowed! | Great Links Tor
zhlédnutí 842Před 2 lety
Back home on Dartmoor for this one! At the tail end of Storm Arwen, after the worst of it had passed over, but still with some very strong northerly winds, I headed up to Great Links Tor for a wintery wild camp, hoping to be sheltered by pitching the tent on the southern side. It was still pretty blustery putting the tent up, but the winds eased overnight, temperatures plummeted and I woke up t...
Scottish Highlands and the Isle of Skye | Trip & wild camp montage

This is the last in the series from my trip up to Scotland in 2021, A collection of drone and GoPro footage, that I didn't have quite enough of, at each location, to be worth turning into it's own distinct video. So I've arranged the clips roughly into the order that they happened, as a mini document of some of the journey. Sections: 0:00 Hogwarts Express (The Jacobite Steam Train) 1:12 Loch Le...
Fairy Pools | Isle of Skye

Another very wet day on the Isle of Skye - you'll be able to see just how heavy the rain was in the video! Despite the weather there were some people brave enough to get in for a swim 🥶 and eventually there was a brief gap in the rain for me to be able to get the drone up. 0:00 Intro 0:10 Walking to the pools 3:10 Drone footage

Hello Andrew. Good video. I'm going next month. Don't know much about the area, I'm hoping to cram as much as possible in 50 hours. 5 hour drive up for me. Keep going with your vids.👍
Excellent video, Andrew.You certainly got a good day for it.😎👍
I am planning to this next year. Is the scramble difficult? I don't hike much.
Looks stunning is that 12.5 mile total or just to Scafell pike?
Total length, but it felt longer with the ups and downs & rocky terrain
@@AndrewPoyntz i will defo look to do it did you park in national trust car park
Great video, gives a good idea of what to expect 👍
Yep parked in old dungeon ghyll which was NT, and highly recommended the pie the in the pub after the walk!
Andrew what month were you on Barra 😊
This was July last year
Great film and very educational! I am going to Glencoe this summer and, though we won't be able to climb up to the peaks here we might be able to take a stroll on the first part of the trail. It looks stunning! A question or two though, I see you passed through a gate. Is this path on private land (?) and lastly how far did you walk before you saw the peaks? Thanks for sharing your experience.
All public trails, the peaks are visible from the road as you approach Glencoe from the west side and from pretty much all points on the trail as it's quite prominent. The flat part is really very short, it starts heading upwards rapidly once reaching the gate which is probably no more than 10 mins maximum into the walk - this one's mostly just up! You get a great view of it from the road around Loch Leven & i'm fairly sure there are some flatter trails around there, there's also some good trails starting at the glencoe visitor centre which'll have a view of this one too.
Another fantastic hiking experience Andrew! I love your editing style and the scenery out there is gorgeous. So smooth and beautiful!
A lovely, relaxing watch. And a bit of snow, bonus. ATB, John.
Top job. Beautiful scenery and vibes.
Looks isolated, just how I like it😊
Same! It really was on the way up didn’t see another person for a few hours 👍 - did cross maybe 3-4 people on the way back down again
Beautiful, nice use of the drone
Amazing shots, this is fantastic hike! Serene atmosphere here is simply enjoyable!
Brilliant 🤩
✋ 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐦
Excellent footage, like you're walking with you,looking to do it soon!
Was up their today, a glorious spot.
Nice one Andrew looked like a chilled little camp You had the weather for it 👍 You should have a chat to us next time ✌️
Beautifully shot! I’m hoping to spend a week in my van in this area some time this year, looks beautiful
Thanks! It is a stunning place to go hiking, I also climbed pen-y-fan and sugar loaf too while in the Brecons, but decided not to film those, definitely all worth a visit!
What a lovely video@channel,please stay safe debs.xx
Stunniinnnnggg!!!!!! 🤗🤭👋
Very nice indeed. Beautiful drone footage there.
Thanks! Plenty more of that in the one I uploaded today! 👍
Thoroughly enjoyed that, Andrew. Really like your filming style. Beautiful shots and Glencoe is definitely on my list of places to go walking. Atb.
Very nice walking route. I might try that. Going further from Whitehorse, how easy would it be to reach Cut Hill / Fur Tor 1?
Thanks! I've never walked across from Whitehorse before, i've always found it to be very wet underfoot in that area - it'd probabaly ok after a decent spell of dry weather, or when it's all frozen - but it would involve crossing/getting round the East Dart river which could be interesting! My ususal route up to Fur tor is from postbridge, going via sandy hole pass - that's a great route too! (out.ac/q7YEp)
Looks amazing my son is going here on next Friday 5/11/21 and will be climbing it bit worried hope he will be ok he's with his friend so fingers crossed he will be ok Bright red jacket black waterproof trousers big rucksack it's a parent thing but I'm sure he'll be ok stay safe 👌 .
I’m sure it’ll be fine! It’s quite a busy trail, so lots of others around, and it’s a good path all the way to the summit 👍
Thank you ,👍
amazing drone shots
How hard is it to climb?
I’d imagine the answer will be different for everyone - I didn’t find it hard, but I do a lot of walking! It’s a ~3000ft (915m) up and down over a total distance of about 6.5 miles (10.5Km)
lovely set up pal 👌👌
Very nice footage! Big like 👍 from me!!! I also love hiking, camping, fishing/hunting and make some videos to. Keep on!!!
So very well put together and Edited and some superb Astro Photography, milky way right over your tent Beautiful, I haven't been able to get out myself on a wild camp for some time, Subscribed to your Channel and will check out more of your videos, is your tent the vango nevis or cairngorm looks just the job whichever it is, Keep Safe And Well, Les.
Thanks very much! Yeah it's the Vango Nevis 200 - ideal size for one person
Very enjoyable watch. Great night-sky images. Thanks.
