- Ooh it was windy.
Out first choice of pitch, a small summit overlooking the Anglo-Scottish border was so wind-scoured we didn't fancy staying the night there at all- as was our second choice, a Scottish Hillfort
The weather forced us to seek shelter right on the boundary between England and Scotland, two once warring nations, now fairly friendly.
We hopped from one country to the next before deciding to pitch right on the border.
One foot in England and one in Scotland
I tried out my new tent, the Fjern Gokkota and found it quite nice.
Accompanied by the semi-legendary @northumberlandmountainhopper the man who will bivvy in any conditions.
Hope you enjoy watching!

Parsnips, deer and moonbeams 😂 This is the content I’m here for Graham 😂😂😂 And the hedgehogs! Belter craic
Haha, I might have to do another beer review then 😂 Proper strange dream that one! ATB, Graham 👍
Superb Graham…what a view to walk back..stunning. Thanks for sharing
Thank you, it was a great little pitch to find, really enjoyed that night- and thank you for the coffee! ATVB, Graham 👍
Bracing!!! You're getting well stylish - matching hat, slacks and tent inner 😍 That howling wind put me in mind of our walk up Windy Gyle. Mad dreams 😂
Why thank you, sir, and please forgive the delayed response. I’ve been hanging about in Scotland with no signal. Those wacky dreams of some of the best bits of wild camping for me 😆
Great Camp, nice chop. Good pitch.
Thanks for sharing, saw Mountain Hopper first.
Thank you, it was a great little camp, I really enjoyed this one.
Mountain hopper is a nice lad: master of the tarp and bivvy. ATB, TFW, Graham 👍
Lovely wee spot you found there Graham atb
Thank you, it was the wind that drove us to look for shelter but we were really happy with the spot we found, great views and a bit of shelter, ATB, Graham 👍
Cracking stuff as usual Graham 👌
Thanks mate, I enjoyed this little camp 👍
Nice one Graham 👍
Thanks Jimmy 👍👍
Great channel Graham. I like seeing the wild camp locations, some are places that I recognise and some places that I haven’t been to yet 👍
Thank you very much, I enjoy watching other peoples channels as well, trying to spot areas I know or work out where they are. Get some great ideas from them. ATB, Graham 👍👍
Loving the meaningful beer review ! Tent looked canny, - sorry I missed it 👍
Moonbeams and parsnips- what a beer! 😂😂We'll be out soon mate, hope all well with you and yours, see soon 👍👍
I know some counsellors who’d love to analyse your complex dreams Mr B😂😂
As ever a thoughtful insight into our history brill
Thanks Nick. Funny old dream that one 😂😂👍👍
Great video 👍
Thank you, much appreciated 👍
Looks like a canny tent, similar set up to the MSR. Sick of the wind now good you two found a sheltered spot 😊
Yup, from what folk have said I believe the Fjern is very much ‘inspired’ by MSR. I was sort of grateful for the wind in the end as it motivated us to hunt for a sheltered spot and I was happy to find that pitch- one to go back to.
Thanks Kerry, ATB, Graham 👍
That dream gets you a subscription.
Haha, thanks, it was a weird one 👍
Came here for the tent review but that dream was hilarious 😂 subbed !
Thanks for the sub! Always appreciated, I have some funny dreams mind, but only when I'm out on a wild camp. Peculiar! ATB, Graham 👍
Very entertaining, just subscribed, thanks for posting
Thanks very much, appreciate that 👍
Nice one Graham , always great to have stone wall to shelter behind. New shelter is very similar to the MSR hubba , I have never had issues with pitching inner first 👍 glad I’m not the only one who has weird dreams , normally I have hands coming through the tent walls strangling me 😂 TFS atb Dave
Even when I'm asleep in the tent my brain seems to realise where it is and I get very weird camping related dreams! I'm not familiar with MSR tents but a couple of people have pointed out the similarity, it might be a clone, Shaping up to be a good tent though, ATB, Graham 👍
Good stuff, I found your channel from a log book in a wooden cabin I came across 👍 love it
Wow, that's cool! I remember that cabin, interesting little place. Glad you're liking the channel, thank you, ATB Graham 👍
I've been looking at these Fjern tents Graham. Look great value from sport pursuit. Fancy the 2 man though. That chop looked pretty good too!
Thanks, the chop was 👍
I’m liking thr Fjern at the moment but time will tell. It’s a great price for a quality tent though. TFW, ATB, Graham 👍
Great video. I've subbed 👍
Thank you, much appreciated, hope you enjoy some of the vids, ATB, Graham 👍
Your crazy dreams 😂😂😂
I know! I enjoy them 😂 👍
Great video! That dream though 😂
I know! I couldn’t make it up 😂 TFW, Graham 👍
Morning Graham. Loved this video. Its a beautiful place to camp isnt it. Your new tent looks very nice inded, and light too. That barnsley chop 😮😮😮wish i had tastovision 😂. You always cook up such delicious food.
Eccles cairn, now when I did my video on the kirk yetholm gypsies i read somewhere that eccles cairn is a burial cairn for a prehistoric chieftan. But thats all i could find out. Another cracking video there. Thanks for taking us along 😊
Thank you, we were glad we found such a nice spot- had great views to Kirk Yetholm. It was the wind that led us there, just to get off the tops. I enjoyed your video on the Yethom gypsies, was excellent. I didn't know that about the cairn, seems that history is all around us in the hills, love it. TFW Emz 👍👍👍
Another great video mate, tent looks the spit of the MSR hubba NX.
Yes, a few people have pointed that out. I've never had an MSR tent but I wonder if mine is a clone? ATB, Graham 👍👍
so nice to see camping and hiking in other regions, pretty cool to camp by a wall like that, a bit of wind, yummy food, sorry but the dream was funny, 😂I think you may need to switch back to tea time instead of the drink can, love the history talk, glad came across your video, liked and new sub.
Thank you very much, I love that area, the Cheviot Hills and the border runs straight through it. I always try and find out a bit of the history where I wild sleep, I find it adds a bit of interest for me. That dream was odd but I find I frequently get them on a camp 😂 Thanks for the sub- always appreciated, ATB, Graham 👍
Had a good chuckle at the inside out jacket🤣🤣
Never heard of Eccles cairn, however I'm going to be searching for it on the map
Haha, I thought that tip was golden until I couldn’t get the jacket off 😂 Aye, check it out, Eccles Cairn is a canny place to camp when the wind is down, Cheers Mark, ATB
Beautiful description of that beer. Poetic words, poetic words….”and parsnips.” You crack me up man!
Thank you very much! Always happy to do a beer review! ATB, Graham 🙂🙂
Hi , great video !! I'm planning to take a train from London to balloch and wanted to get yor perspective on the closest place I could wild camp to balloch Station without any camping laws effecting me , cheers !
Thank you, I’m afraid I’ve never been to Balloch, but I hope you enjoy your trip 👍
Hi Graham, what a great camp we had, great spot and great company
Cheers Adrian
It was mint, great find that spot!
Cheers 👍👍
The Dynamic Duo 😎
Moonbeams 😂
All the best beer tastes of moonbeams! 😂😂😉
Nice one Graham -absolutely loved your beer review 😂😂 Sometimes it's best to opt for a sheltered pitch when the winds are up like that, even if you lose the views, and that wall looked ideal - and it made for a good looking pitch for your new Gokotta's first outing, just a shame the ground was all lumpy. Another good watch TFS, atb from DVS :)
Thanks Donna, I’m almost glad the wind was blowing a hoolie because it led us to seek a more sheltered pitch and we found a great spot with fine views into Scotland. I think it’s one I’ll go back to. There’s not many beers taste of moonbeams and parsnips- I must have chosen a good one 😂 I’m quite liking the tent but time will tell, TFW! 👍👍
Great to see a collaboration with Adrian ❤️
Thank you, we've done a few together now. He's definately the master of the tarp and bivvy combo. Now he's tried the elan I don't think he'll go back to a tent, ATB, Graham 👍👍
Nice one Graham, canny spot you found , lamb chop looked tremendous,bit wild that dream you had mind 😆, thanks for sharing, atb Deka 👍🏻
Ah man, I have some weird dreams in the tent 😂 A barnsley chop- great camping food, ATB mate, hope you're keeping well 👍
Hi Graham, enjoyed that.That beer must've been good,that dream sounds different lol.keep them coming mate
Haha, I love my dreams when out wild camping but they're definately odd 😂 TFW and ATB, Graham 👍👍
that grass pillow had me in stitches. Great vid !
Haha, thank you, it was a proper bonus! ATB, Graham 👍
Plenty of fresh air on that one. Great camp out. Best wishes on the nest adventure.
Lots of fresh air! I think I’ll sleep well tonight as well. Thanks very much, ATB, Graham 👍
Just aswell you got out of that wind Graham happy new tent and definitely a stunning morning atvb Jimmy 😎😎👍👍
Aye, thanks Jimmy. that wind was uncampable in my opinion, would have been a nightmare on the tops- I don't know how people do that and enjoy it, In the end we found a great spot, pretty untouched, no quad tracks or anything. Definately go back there, ATB, Graham 👍👍
Did you buy this tent or was it sent to you to review by the company?
I bought it- I’m too small a channel to be sent tents 🙂
I’m liking it so far, it seems to be an MSR clone but I’ve barely used it. Time will tell. ATB, Graham
how well did you get on with Mrs Gigax?
Very well 😉
Hahaha, what a dream!
I have weird dreams often when wild camping for some reason, TFW, Graham 👍
@@grahamswildcamping Certainly was mate, Sigmund Freud would have trouble deciphering that one. Frustrated Oedipus complex…… 😂
@@HardyTempestsWildCampsandWalks haha, maybe- Mrs Gigax was an older lady…😂
