- I made a return camp to the sheepfold deep in the forest , it was nearly a year so well overdue a visit. This time the weather was pretty poor and extremely wet on the walk out. But any camp is good camp in my books.
Apologies for some crappy GoPro footage , at least the Sony footage is clearer.

Wow, what a place to camp! A forgotten old structure slowly gathering moss hidden away in the woods- looked really magical 👍👍
Yes it was lovely Graham , a hidden gem for sure . TFW atb Dave
Glad your little sheepfold was still intact Dave! It would take me a while to get used to all those woodland sounds!👍👍
You and me both, don’t think anyone has been near since ? Yeah a different type of camp to the open fell . Hope you are all good atb Dave
Brave Dave camping in that enchanted forest! I'm sure i saw a leprechaun in there! 👍🍺😁
A few more beers and I might see a leprechaun or two 😂🍺👍
Glad to see they’ve not reached your spot. Cracking set up too
Thanks don’t think it will be too long before the trees are lopped 😂
Cracking spot Dave. Loved the moss.👍🏽
Thanks Gary , plenty of moss up here 👍
Cracking vid Dave, brill set up, loved that wee stove & kettle 😂. This is something I will be trying this year, this kinda camp looks mint, plus you can carry that bit more in. Really enjoyed watching. Atb mate
Yes I quite like these type of camps , and really relaxing as out of sight from anything or anyone tfw atb Dave ⛺️👍
Liking the slightly new vid style Dave, and back to your hidden sheepfold in the forest, that's where you cooked a toastie for tea last time you were there and had a mini bottle of red wine lol, it's funny the things you remember from vids. The sheepfold still looked in canny nick and it's nice to be tucked away safe in the forest, listening to the tree-tops sway - no chance I'd have bivvied in there though, I have this fear of stuff crawling on my face and in my mouth and ears, plus getting up for the loo would be a right hassle.
Been ages since I was last up that way, it's a great forest. I remember getting lost in there looking for the bothy about 5 or 6 yrs ago 😂 TFS, another thumbs up from DVS :)
Yes a return to the sheepfold was overdue, nothing really changed and looks like not many folk have been near ?
there wasn’t much insect life really just the odd slug crawling about .😂 tfw atb Dave ⛺️👍
@@BorderRambler ...and the thought of an odd slug makes me feel physically sick, I loathe them. They spoil my tents and groundsheets with their slimy trails, and I have to be a big girl sometimes and pick them off and throw them away - sorry, I meant gently lay them down several metres away....urgh 🤢🤢
Some fantastic B roll there as you walked in Dave 👍 I'm always slightly disappointed when you go to the sheep fold... You've never shown any folded up sheep! 😂 The colours on your camera really pop at that location 👍3x3 tarp for the WIN 🏆
Cheers Lee , yeah no folded sheep on this one but I’ll keep looking 😂 3x3 gave me so much more cover that is for sure . So dark in the forest and just glad the camera did the trick . Atb Dave
Enjoyed your last visit there dave and enjoyed this one. Captured some great audio in this one I noticed. Gordon
Glad you enjoyed it , it’s a great location out of the way too atb Dave ⛺️😂
Nice one Dave lovely spot for a bivvy camp i remember your first camp tere.
Being in the woods is so different to being out on the hill's
lots of strange sounds but you get used to it atvb jimmy 😎😎👍👍
It sure is Jimmy , a totally different camp that is for sure . Atb Dave
I can remember the days when you wouldnt go down the sorting sidings in the dark . Now you're camping in spooky forests under a tarp 😂
Nah getting confused it was you who wouldn’t go down into the SS . Forests are safer anyway 🌲👀👍
@BorderRambler ha ha nice try it was you . Was scary last week in the Galloway Hill forest at night . I'm in Kershope in October for a Rally
@@SilvoTours which rally is that and what date ?
@@BorderRambler Carlisle Stages Oct 21st
@@BorderRambler there's a stage on the 20th as well
Nice one Dave. Good camp in that sheep fold. Not seen you use the mini trangia for a while - overdue for a fry up one day. ATB
Thanks Jim , yes I need some sausage butties on the go 👍
Brill vid again Dave .....
Thanks for watching ⛺️👍
proper mossy pitch dave.but a bit bait couple of drinks radio & twig stove soon cheered things up👌 thought you might of boiled the kettle on the twig stove 🤔
Thanks Geordie , my sticks in the stove stuck out too high to put the kettle on , and I wanted the smoke to clear the midge lol
Excellent Dave. I'm a sucker for a good sheepfold, though a lot of the ones I know are all rushy and tussocky and wouldn't make for a comfortable night. I've hardly done any woodland camps (nowhere really suitable local to me......too many folk) but would like to. I think I'd like the different sort of night noises, different from up in the hills. ATB pal. 👍
Cheers Chris , I’m lucky this fold is on the only flat spot . So pitching is decent. Plenty of different sounds in the forest at nighttime . Tfw atb Dave 🌲🌲🌲👀💨⛺️👍
Beautiful place Dave, nothing like that around me, so looked a dream spot, despite the weather, atb mate⛺️👍🏻
Thanks Ian , pretty remote up there for sure . It’s a decent little hideaway that’s for sure . Atb Dave ⛺️👍
Hi Dave, loved it, great set up in the forest, think of all the fresh nice air you had, can’t decide now for tomorrow’s camp, Simonside or Forest emmm,
I did try and insta you about a subject,
Cheers Adrian
Cheers mate , it was a chilled camp . Decisions decisions eh lol I’m not regular on insta but just checked and can’t see out ?
Enjoy your camp ⛺️👍
Looks a peaceful little spot, It has been a couple of year since I have been up that neck of the woods.
Shame about the trail cam, I wish Id had one the other week on the great glen way, it was critter central, lol
Cheers Mark , it’s nicely tucked out of the way , I remember you camped up on the crags not that far from here . I need to check out your GGW hike ⛺️👍
well done on the 3x3
Makes a big difference
loads of room 👍
Cracking vid mate and good set up. Just subbed going to go through more of your vids at the weekend will leave a few comments.ATB sam
Thanks for the sub, always appreciated atb Dave ⛺️👍
Thank you for sharing your adventure! Wonderful place to camp. Thank you for taking me along, Dave. Cheers!
Glad you enjoyed it Dan atb Dave 👍
Such a stunning place, did you have any issues with condensation in the bivvy bag at all, cracking video, good health and safe travels, cheers craig
I had a slight bit at the foot end but otherwise ok . Thanks for watching atb Dave
Looked nice n chilled! Pitch black there mind. Do you not get spooked?
Thanks Kerry , no don’t get spooked although the mind does wander 👀 👻lol
Lovely wee camping spot that.
Quick question: are those trekking poles or tarp poles you used to hoist your tarp, and if the latter which brand did you use?
Thanks for watching , I use some cheap lightweight hiking poles from decathlon . Had them a good few years and still going strong www.decathlon.co.uk/p/1-affordable-hiking-pole-mt100/_/R-p-122861?mc=8807204 atb Dave
Also keep meaning ask you, what editor software do you use? Want to start putting them through my Mac so need a different software than I use
I used to edit on my Mac , but I use LumaFusion on my iPad which is the air 5 I think and it’s much quicker than my Mac 😂 but you will need decent storage I have 256gb which works well . I upload all files to iPad then delete once I’ve uploaded to yt and saved them to an external hard drive .
That way my iPad always has loads of storage left 👍
