  • my first solo wild camp - dartmoor national park.
    starting at okehampton train station, i hiked up to yes tor: dartmoor’s second highest peak at 619m. then i headed down to row tor to set up camp for the night. been a long time coming this one. some time for me and to reset the mental. blissfully unaware of the storm that was in store for me, i gave it a real go. #dartmoor #wildcamping #hiking

    Hello mate, lovely video! Great b-roll shots and I’m glad that you had a good time and felt good about the whole experience for your first solo wild camp!
    It takes a good mental push to get out and do it on your own, so well done mate 😊
    Took me on a little nostalgic trip of my own wild camping trip here over a month ago (on my channel)
    New sub from me and keep it up! 👍
    P.S - tighten those guy lines! 😉

    Get those guy line tighter and get bigger pegs, less tent flap means better sleep

    Highly recommend a night on Yes Tor when the weather is good the views are something else, if its clear you can even see Wales. I've done all the North Moor ones now and that's easily my favourite.

    Eating in the rain lol I bet you had a cold sleep . Bring extra socks or even light plastic bags put on your feed heading back . Been Wet is known for hypothermia In UK or Ireland when camping . It's only march still low temperatures at night .
