    Here's an idea Dave. How about a montage of drone shots from your various hikes and camps? Couple that with your excellent taste in music, (best of any camping channel imo). About 20 -30 minutes long it'd be a winning ASMR! Go on, I dare you!
    And crikey! That's what you call a 'coastal path'!

    Brilliant that Dave thoroughly enjoyed it,I have a Berghaus tent of the same colour in my collection,mines the tunnel tent version..I've had it everywhere here in the Lake District & all over Scotland on the high peaks & everything below,it's never failed me yet,always kept me dry,no condensation ever,stood up to whatever the weather has thrown at it,like you I switched the pegs to better ones but otherwise it's still as good as new 6 years on..I love the blackout inner too,it's great not knowing it's daylight outside of a morning,can sleep that little bit longer 😁

    I know the post is a bit old now but I have a Brecon 2, which i used with my son (12) on a 2 nighter in August 23, so probably same sort of time you were there, We were at a site near Clapham NY, easy to put up, spacious and was tested with a nasty overnight downpour. Dry as a bone inside (i did Nikwax it beforehand though).
    I loved the scenery and marked where you were in the hope i could one day take my lad somewhere like that - he'd love it!
    First time i've watched one of your vids and it was class. Gonna watch some more.

      Hey ho. Evgenia here. Go Summit Solo. David mentioned your comment today to me x thaught id sneak out a little secret. Actually a video I plan to do on my recovery to being strongly again back out on the hills. Summit camping. Ross Cliffs are a stunner of a camp. Make sure u walk to the end of them there is a specific spectacular view point to pitch infront of. It certainly stands out from the rest. Being im from Kirkcudbright. I know these places bck to front. By far my favourite to pitch at the moment xx little idea
      Its looking over to the highest point of the Cliffs. 😊

    @garymartin557 Před 10 měsíci +1

    different style of video from the mountain camps, but heartwarming all the same. just goes to show if you open your horizons what pitches are there for the taking. must have been a little worrying for yourself when your camp mate says with joy "ohh ive just seen lightning" settles the nerves when camping, a line such as that! the drone shot along the cliffs with the sun on the horizon was breathtaking. the tent looks great value for money, given the purpose you intend it for.

    • @TheSoloSummiteer

    Great location and great conditions to match, i dont know about you but i am in a totally different head space when i am using cheaper tents without high expectations and always surprised how much value for money you get when a tent isn't over hyped although there is a weight penalty but when i have the posh tents out i dont like anyone going near my guy lines especially if they have had a drink because most people are shit faced by the time the sun has set....i think it might be a wild camping law these days :)

    That Tiso store is mega. Was in there just yesterday and almost bought the MSR elixir 2. Seems a bit roomier than my helm 2 but I wasn’t paying their asking price.
    Regarding your new tent, did you find the interior a bit gloomy ? I saw one set up in the store and felt it was too dark inside. Not sure how this would relate in the outside world.

      Not used it in winter Ash so can’t really comment there but had in on a mountain in 50mph gusts and it was fine. The 3 pole design makes it feel pretty strong. Been ok in rain too and not draughty either. It’s a bit heavy for one person at 3.3kg but you’d have plenty of space. It’s also very dark inside as the inner material is black. I really like it for the money tho. HTH 👍

    You gotta laugh when your girlfriend I am assuming Dave wants to put the tent up, instead you let her loose again with Drone Footage, which came back awesome, what was not to like the views were already there, and you shouldn't moan sharing a Scottish wilderness with wild birds squarking, possible because you two were there.ha, ha.
    As for the Berghaus tent being dark, that's great in summer when light nights are here, were you can go into darkness and sleep, so your pineal gland can release melatonin, under darkness.
    And if you think Dave likes a drink, I drink even more every day, not to stop me doing the West Highland or Rob Roy way, with my two terra Nova tents, and Lucky the Boxer Dog, nope, that's because post nearly four month some little bastard driving a three + ton vehicle through me in a Assda food delivery van, on an angle whilst he was doing 30 mph on his mobile phone.
    Guess what he doesnt work for Asda anymore, doesnt make me any better soon.
    But yeh I would pitch one of my terra nova tents up there, how awesome.
    By the way Dave when you bench press over 200 minor muscles relax.
    However if you sit on the ball recline back with dumbbells in your hands you also work those 200 extra minor muscles not on display in a body building pose through a mirror.
    Peace out
    Have fun as always
