Love what you do! Always brightens my day up! Me being an ex Royal marine! Keep it up bud👍🥃
Brilliant this one, more like it, love it when you add a bit of history, or extra stuff, keep it coming mate.. Well when it's all back to normal, what ever that is.
There's alot more we don't know about,
I used to be in the 74th scouts spent many years up there seen some crazy things sometimes you think it’s your mind playing tricks but it’s not my uncle used to run the scouts there used to be over 20 of us sometimes at summer camps we used to have a full size snooker table and have tournaments great memories would love to go back up
I think what made this video great was the gloomy and foggy weather while ghost hunting. Great video
Great video and once again fantastic commentary, love the dry humor!!
Very nice and looked like a lot of fun! Awesome place for an overnighter, you could almost smell the history of that place. The mist and rain definitely added character to this adventure. Thank you for sharing!
-Jacko
+MuddyTigerOutdoors Thanks Jacko, the place is rich in history and some of the guys have seen and heard unusual things, a woman screaming, ghosts walking around the camp and Trevors tent footage has strange orb like objects moving around so is definitely a place to visit if you believe in the paranormal. ATB, Damian
I had a great time at willow bog cottage with you and the other guys, you done a smashing job of recording the trip considering the near on constant rain. I'll give you the special award for most amount of video gear carried, you certainly suffer for your art on that hike.
Gj looking fwd to next one.
+Chippa Fate I had a great time, felt like I'd known you all for years as we got along so well. I carried some extra gear I never used and felt like a pack horse. I had a camera cage to attach lights and other acessories to which weighed half a kilo and other gopro stuff, a selfie stick as well as the tripod I always carry, loads of spare batteries which didnt get used because the rain stopped me filming more. My main camera was fogged up by morning so ended up just using the gopro which is all weather but audio is shite cause its in the waterproof case. In the end we only have the footage we shot but felt I'd captured most of what I'd liked to. If the sky was clear would have liked to have recorded nightlapse as there is no light polution up Kielder. Your new camera takes a nice pic and will comment on your channel rather than mention here. I hope we go again soon as it was a good night. ATB, Damian.
It's what I like about you and your channel your open minded you don't rule out bigfoot UFOs the paranormal etc. There are strange things in this world and unless you go out to these places in the wilderness in countryside you will never have the chance to encounter them.
no mystery is closed to an open mind, thanks for watching and commenting
Well done for keeping it real with your bivvi in a spooky location. I'm sure many would not have the balls and would opt for the tent. My mate had lavu years ago and loved it, great dual purpose as a poncho (x2) too, great kit.
if you watch my videos of this place you'll see I used a tarp here, it was the first time I was there, and seen the spooky going one
Fantastic video Damien, the weather was shit but we still had a great time. Take care, Jeff
+Mint Outdoors Thanks Jeff, At least it wasnt too cold and the crack was brilliant, I hope we get invited along again for the next one. Damian.
good to see you with some good company damien, looked like fun thanks for sharing
Looked like a good social. You really caught the mood of the place. Cannot wait until the next adventure.
Videography is vast improvement with the multi cam set up. Great stuff!
Excellent as usual Damian, you held your own well with all the mackems lol ,
take care mate !
+Jimmy McDonald Thanks Jimmy, I had a few ace Mackem jokes up me sleeve in case I felt they were getting the better of me.
Excellent vid as always looking forward to your next adventure, cheers Al
+shoogelniffty1 Thanks Al, it was a bit bleak up there but not too cold, just the rain caused one or two problems with camera gear, apart from that, a good wild camp. ATB, Damian.
Great video mate. There's some very good tent/tipi setups you can do with your tarp that are better for windy conditions. Shame there were no spooky sightings
Atb Steve.
+Steves Outdoors NE I do prefer a bivy and tarp and I know a good pyramid pitch but not keen on using a pole as the tarp material is thin and dont want to risk holing it. just bought a polish lavvu for winter hill camping and although heavy, its old school and a clever design of two ponchos, I love it. ATB, Damian.
Cracking vid and fireside boozing ,all best Will
Hi there,
I have really enjoyed the videos on your channel. You present wild camping videos like know other youtuber. This video was great, what an intresting wild camping spot.
Nice stove, you have inspired me to wild camp in the future!
Fantastic Channel!!!
Cheers Roger
(outaboutwilts)
what a brilliant and funny vid as always really enjoyed it well done atb roy
people disappearing, did you hear about that? I heard someone had an asthma attack....................priceless:)))))) laughed my arse off:) love it
Another brill and excellent quality video m8t love your laid back attitude . The sound track alone cracked me up as well as the banter between everyone .there are too many people on CZcams acting far to serious about a fun pastime .Liking the tarp and bivvy setup .takes a bit of balls to lie out in all weathers so exposed to the elements . Nearly as tough as me born in Middlesbrough and dragged up in Glasgow glamping for me is a woolly hat and my Spider-Man pants in a field in -5 easy meat . Lol.Anyway enough bull crap keep em coming m8t oh and would love to see another haunted pitch/camp done . Stab
Last bit was fecking auto correct . How does ATB. All the best become. Stab. . Must be a Glasgow auto correct . 👍😂
+crazyandy2008 Thanks, I plan on going back for another haunted wild camp sometime in the not so distant future as there is some strange activity going on at that place. I prefer a bivy and tarp to a tent, once inside you are quite well protected so long as you have pitched right. Damian
Nice one damien ill look forward to seeing that . Have a good weekend m8t
Hi Damien, Cracking video mate, it was great to have you there with us, I would like to invite you again to another camp at that spot sometime if you would like and this time bring a fookin tent lol atb Daz
+Darren Coombs Interviews Thanks Darren, I would love to go again so let me know when, just ordered a Polish Lavvu teepee tent so will have a decent shelter for places where there are no trees.
+Fell Wanderer you camp in places that are like home to me I live in kerkwhelpington out in the sticks.
cracking vid damo, as always , looks like ya had a cracking time, good ta get out with diffrent lads i recon, good crack and banter, as for ghosts, im like ya sel, ive gotta see it to believe it, the mind is very powerfull and can play tricks so unless i seen mesel, i wont believe 😉
+northeastbushcrafter John, no mystery is closed to an open mind, the lads are adamant they saw something spooky on an earlier trip, if it wasn't raining I would have bivvied outside and kept a lookout for strange goings on. Was a good laugh to finally get out and start meeting folk, Kielder is great this time of year no midgies. Damian.
Excellent video damien great to see northumberlands finest locations on camera
Love the different between men and women when we meet up. Women go in for the cheek kiss
ghost busters.... guttered the place wasn't open. was hoping to see inside oh well.... along as it was a good camp. enjoyed the vid cheers for sharing
+Ricketymanfilms Thanks Muss, would have been nice if the place was a bothy, could have chilled out inside waiting for things to go bump in the night.
Its all locked up and totally borded but the scouts still use it to store their gear so its not totally derelict. Damian.
this is not about any ghost haunted places is all above reunion with best friend simply just stay over night with them this is amazing
Great video, enjoyed watching. Shame the trail cam didn't catch any spooky going ons. ATB, Ben
Thanks for going and reporting back.I'd be too scared!!
Nice to see the trip from a different point of view, just watched codhunter0 's both great vids, keep up the good work.
+Steve Brookes Thanks Steve, i've watched the other five videos now and its nice to see the trip from another person's perspective. If it wasn't for the rain i would have captured a whole lot more. Damian.
+Fell Wanderer I can't count, meant the other four videos, still waiting for Jeff to upload his. Damian.
Love it ,from a bora lad
thanks for shearing. cool to see Rob in your video to. cant beat the north its mint.
Brilliant, Your just an utter hero, That's before night ! Scooby..
looks a great place to camp might look into that place next year
another winner F W...keep up the good work...mo.....wilts
Might fine video you have! I am a new subscriber. Super nice of you to list your friends channels. I'll be sure and check them too. Fun to see the gear and hear the chat. I liked Dave's idea about how to raise money for charity. I took the red pill. My two favorite sayings are, "Keep an open mind just don't let your brains fall out" and "Be skeptical, just don't close your mind." Cheers!
That bloke in the yellow jacket is tripping out he never saw shit 😂
I love your vids keep me coming!!!!!
I need to solo that place lol, brilliant vid as always.
+Markwildcamp Thanks Mark, I would do a solo there as it didn't feel spooky but then again I was under the tarp so seen nothing, theres a lot of history to that place and well worth a visit. Damian.
....Newcastle brown has a Paranormal effect......🍺
Really cool! I would love to get the chance to camp out there.
Damian I thoroughly enjoyed that! You captured the event perfectly mate.
I am 100% sure I heard a woman-no doubt. You know me now well enough to know I don't want or like ghostly happenings but they seem to happen!
Keep the vids coming mate......fantastic.
Take Care.
+Codhunter0 Thanks Trevor, was a good trip and if I'd bivvied outside my tarp I may have been lucky or unlucky enough to see something. Just ordered a Polish Lavvu teepee so have a good shelter now as it wasn't really the best place for a tarp. Damian
+Fell Wanderer good tents mate!!!
A bit heavy though around 3.5 kilos but good value for money. Cant justify spending more on a tent that will only be used a couple of times a year when I will be using a tarp mostly
+Fell Wanderer That's fair do's. We all mix it up,tarps, tents, bivvi and now hammocks!
Great video as usual :)
Those Luxe Hexpeaks can take a good wind battering. One of the lads was using one on our trip Friday night. Vid will be up later on if not tomorrow. 90mph winds and teaming rain and it stayed up. Looked a nice spot did that like. Thanks for sharing Damian. ATB, Mike
+Fergs uK saw that preview last night of you getting cut off on that island with flash floods, looked a bit dodgy to me, hoped you found decent ground and shelter. Them Luxe Hexpeaks are nice and would have one but couldnt justify paying out for a tent i might only use 1 time a year as I will always bivy first unless the weather is too bad. May get a polish lavvu for the occassional winter wildcamp but that probably wouldnt get used much either. ATB, Damian
+Fell Wanderer I dont mind spending £20 for a tent I may only use occasionally but £150 I cant justify even though the Luxe Hex is a great piece of kit
Fell Wanderer That island was the morning after a dodgy night hah. My vid is up now so you can see and hear the storm. Scared the hell outta me. I've been thinking about a Lavvu for ages myself as well to be honest. I wan't to get up to Kielder in the winter for a real good snowy camp. Might have to sort something out. I wild camped once before I got a hammock and I swore I wouldnt ground dwell again. I love my hammock but something about laying on the deck and staring at the stars brings out a primal side of me. I want a clear starry sky with a foot of snow on the ground. I'd be in heaven!
l would fix up the place up and talk the ghost it's a good place to camp.
Damien, Your tarp loops need stitching up so there is only a small gap for the ridge line to feed through. I have the same tarp and they have about 4 inches of loop which means loads of movement, so it will still flap around no matter how tight your ridge line is.
+RID Yes I don't like the size of those loops, I wonder what they were thinking when research and development came up with that idea?.. must have Stevie wonder working there oe something.
+Fell Wanderer Ha ha I think your right. Great vids by the way keep them coming. We camped about half a mile down stream on the Akenshaw Burn in December couple of years ago canny place. Cheers Rid
great video as ever, nice to see some Luxe hexpeaks in action :)..i got a question about yr go-Pro mount, do u find the chest rig gives a better "view" than head mounted set-up?
+Wandering Jay both mounts will give the same field of view its just that the chest mount will only be recording facing forward and seeing less wheras the head mounted camera will be moving around more and very shaky but sees exactly what you are seeing. I guess it depends on the situation, if I'm filming just infront then the chesty is great, I think the chest mount is more useful to me for bushcraft and is less conspicious but the head mount has its uses as another POV, like for rock climbing where you may want to capture everything where you are looking and arent able to hold a second camera for obvious reasons. In a nutshell both mounts have their uses and depends on what you want to film and what angles you want to capture
Brilliant vid there bud - you stick with ye tarp mate and let the glampers glamp ;-) I used my 3x3 DD as a tent one night,, formed a tepee style tent,,worked well. - Using the 2 cameras made for a more pro video to. - looking forward to ya next camp - ATB - Marcus
+Woodsman ocD86 Thanks Marcus, I've seen some videos on youtube on how to do the pyramid/tepee style tarp, its a good setup in bad weather, wish i had a tree over me, could have hung a guyline down to the centre point, not keen on putting a centre pole in as the tarp material is lightweight and dont want to risk ripping it. tents go against my minimal ways but if I had to have one it would be a polish lavvu, not lightweight but inexpensive. ive got a one man tent but its like being in a coffin so prefer the freedom of a bivy and tarp lol.. Damian
Bet it was terrifying camping here with the household cavalry.
it was ok, I camp alone so not easily spooked
Shame you could,nt have got in the place and felt the atmosphere Damian i did a similar camp at Annesley hall ..apparantly one of the most haunted places in Nottinghamshire in a thunder storm a great experience but no para normal activity recorded it is on yt on another channel if interested A great camp up there mate enjoyed watching
ATB ..steve
I saw a spirit at 19:54.
+The Green Knight I looked expecting to see something spooky lol.. the place is definitely haunted though, thanks for watching
I thought it was just the two of you! 20 of you walking up the road😆
Did the guy ever get his project off the ground- sounded a brilliant idea... ???
I don't know whether he was successful or not, I haven't heard from the lads in a while so not sure. Thank you for watching..
I love your video. Question: Did you pickup your trash before you leave?
+Vinnie Kanh I picked up all my rubbish and for the rest of the guys I didn't check what they were doing but the place did look tidy
good vid mate, atb Hans
Hahahaha...........cool little excursion 👍
I'm glad I cam across this video. I've been trying to find the other fellas videos on here I believe he's a butcher? Can't remember what his CZcams name is?
checkout some of the earliest comments, they will be of the guys I camped with. Codhunter will know as I don't recall, ATB and thanks for watching.. czcams.com/users/Codhunter0
@@Fell_Wanderer that's it! Codhunter! Thanks again pal
Neil its only mentioned in the recent doomsday book that was done by the BBC. Ots not mentioned in the 1068 book.
I've camped there before..
Its haunted?
NOW YOU TELL ME!...
Hi Damien..what I want to know is have their been reports of friendly ghosts or hostile ghosts there? If friendly it could have added to an already great meeting...enjoyed the laughter. Mark
+WyeExplorer The guys on another trip had one walking around their tents and one was seen beside the cottage. Not sure if they are hostile or friendly as there wasn't much interaction with them but while the lads were at a bothy the windows were opening by themselves and writing was appearing on the window glass
Fell Wanderer Now that's interesting. Sounds like the walkers wanted to be close to the living and the windows opening by themselves. Not sure what that might have been but the writing. Depends on what it was. Would have been good to get an image of the messages. Good video..good story. All the best. Mark.
What is the song at ten mins lol great vid mate but great song aswell lol
The song is called Busybody, a royalty free track from Audionautix, thanks for your comment.

Sleeping in the dormitory was something else soon as the emergency lighting went off it was pitch black
How far a walk from car park is the cottage lads a was there as a cub 30 year ago and loved it would be nice to go back camping cheers
Its 5 km from the carpark at NY 63544 89610. I don't think they allow overnight parking or there's now a permit system in place. I know they have changed the rules about parking so it will be best to ring them and find out.
You can't go camping there anymore since it has been taken over by EBSC
Who ya gonna call "ghost campers" ha ha
There's a common theme there with the setups - tinnies!
Damien how far is the tab from the car park to the cottage??
its 5km from the carpark up from mathews Linn, its called the Bloody bush trail
awesome video you and your mates stay in side the house to make sure it haunted .
+john ross Sorbie The house is boarded up so can't get inside. Its also in use by the scouts so not derelict, thanks for watching. Damian.
l love the haunted house if the scouts and me can fix it has a Bothy club to all Bushcraft,
I seen a big cat about 3 years ago South Staffordshire it was very strange.
People keep exotic animals as pets and when they escape, can't report them missing as its illegal to keep large cats without a licence
What has happened to you? Missing your wild camping videos.
I will be uploading in a couple of days time.
@@Fell_Wanderer Look forward to it 👍🏼
Nice one again,mate.
Did you see anything at 31.18?
+Edogawa1117 Thanks for your comment, never noticed anything at 31.18?..
I live in a haunted house and it not as bad as people make out it can get creepy tho but id love to stay a night there...
Nice backpacks. Been reading up on Willowbog cottage on bits from Google. You might be interested in "The Winters Gibbet" Google it and pick "Rob kirkup's ghosts of the North East" A bit in there about Harwood forest.
I might camp there on me own sometime if I can get a small caravan.
+John S. May Thanks John had a look at that site and know of some of those places, I'm not scared of ghosts, infact its the living I'm scared of the most. Harwood freaks me out of all the places I've camped. ATB, Damian.
grt bunch of lads away WI the only fell wanderer, bringing people to further!! go on uncle fester??? on behalf of Steven By J kerr
I know I've asked you before but what is your main camera?
-Jacko
+MuddyTigerOutdoors Its a Panasonic X900, they dont make them now but have newer models available. A gopro will give just as good footage for a third of the price but what a good camcorder has over the gopro is image stabilisation and a zoom lense.
Tents across the pond look so strange! And it was terrifying to watch you drive on the "wrong side of the road," even though I recognize that to be totally normal.
I’m copying and pasting this reply to every vid on this matter. I literally hadn’t thought about this shit until I found my neckerchief whilst sorting my mam’s loft out and was talking about Malcolm’s ghost stories when he used to take us away with the scouts of Silver Lonen.
Sorry to kill this whole lore but I have to make a confession here. Basically, our scout group was from Silver Lonen in Newcastle. Our scout leader Malcolm Landreth (I think that’s how it was spelt, it’s been about 24 years) he would rent out this cottage at weekends. This exact narrative the fella in the other vids about the bridges and reavers etc is what I wrote in a completely fabricated article on TheShadowLands about 20 years ago. I can’t believe I’ve caused all this nonsense 🤣
What language is he speaking ? I'm having trouble making it out..
who done the bovvy video that was mentioned at the start please someone send me a link if you can
+James Mcmurrough The Bothy trip was done by Darren, Rob, Trevor and Mick. They have videos up on their channels, links are in the description of my video
thanks mate
if you invite the devil into your life.
Can you please tell me how to find this location great video and atmospheric .
+Brian Harley There is a carpark at Matthews Linn at Kielder then the walk along the Bloody Bush road takes you to the cottage location at Latitude 55°11'53.66"N, Longtitude 2°38'10.48"W Ordnance Survey grid ref: NY 59612 89511
Thanks for the info will let you know how I get on
FW - At the beginning of the video, How the hell fast are you driving? . . . LOL
I'd like to know what warp speed he used to get to the location, and if the cameraman was fine down between his legs? When they met up, you'll have noticed how they all shook each other's hand, and then instantly forgetting whose hand they had shook, they went for another round, just to be sure no one had been missed. Unfortunately, the next segment of the video contained a lot of Geordie talk, but the translator was held up by being asleep in his home. Hopefully, an English transcript of what was said will be forthcoming in the near future? The one with the mammaries was quite animated as he regaled the motley crew of his experiences in a sort of..."Hey, I got knowledge and I insist on unloading it on you all!" kind of way.
Are you the lad I was talking to on south shields pier while I was fishing back in october
+callum slack No wasn't me, I've fished there but a few years ago.
What the hell is that guy babbling about who starts at 21:11?
I think it was ways to make money on CZcams but I was a little drunk and don't remember much about the night
Great video, were those two tipi's sil hex v4
sure are V4 hex tents....one was mine.
Hi mate,the tent itself is very good in wind etc. The bedroom is wide but small and tight for me and I am 6ft tall and use a 5cm mat. The vestibule is large and good for bad weather cooking. You need to carry walking poles or buy the specific pole for the tent. Another down side is the amount of pegs needed ....up to 20 in strong winds or just 6 in calm. As a motorcycle rider myself I would say it's good but.....depends on your size. It is just over 1.2kg. Without the inner it is vast!
Hope this helps a little?
Trev.
CZcams channel Codhunter0
+Codhunter0 A fantastic tent IMHO, looked like a palace inside for the amount of space to cook and storing gear in although the sleeping area wasn't massive but was ok especially for a shorter fella like me
+Fell Wanderer I would only take the outer fly then the space would be massive inside, got me eye on a polish lavvu for the occasional winter wildcamp
+Fell Wanderer it would be huge with just a footprint.
Hi mate. I am the person that wrote the shadowlands story about the cottage all those years ago. If you want to get in touch reply to this message. Cheers
Nice tell me more

Haha this is lush, used to camp here with my old scout group , we also stayed in the cottage too on numerous occasions, when I see this place I think freedom
That was awesome but you should try do it yourself so you know if there are noises it isn't you like a proper investigation take an air rifle with you though
+Alex Milligan Thanks Alex, I'd love to take an air rifle up there as there are rabbits about its just getting the permission.
yeh that's a bit of a pain aw well great video atb, Alex
Looked a canny spot for a wild camp Damian, Check the league tables mate, Boro are currently 2nd in the championship. Premier league next season. UTB.
A.t.b............Gary.
+Big G I'd love the Boro to come up, it was great when the Toon had 4 derbys a year, good games great banter and rivalry. Damian
+Fell Wanderer Just watched the toon beat liverpool 2-0, great game end to end. I hope the 3 northeast teams are in the prem next season.
A.t.b............Gary.
Next time go back on your own Damian. I'm sure something you'll see something then, if you've got the bottle that is, ha!
horale loco como estas
+yamil vicente estoy bien gracias
well this was a different video, i very much it enjoyed it tho.
BOO
Anyone try the door......... Boo see what did haha
Ghosts do not exist just our minds think that but fun have laugh about it
Well thats your opinion and you are entitled to it. I haven't seen a ghost but keep an open mind because I know people who have seen them and had paranormal activity
Good video was too wet for the spooks
please don't drive while holding a camera.
the camera was on a windscreen suction mount, thanks for watching
drive that fast again you'll see angels not ghosts...lol
get out and do abit of Ghostbusting you no it makes sence you noo it makes sence...

thanks.pet.just.wondered.if.you.have.ever.seen.any.spooky.stuff.while.camping....or.strange.noises.atb.marie
I've camped at Harwood forest and recorded strange animal sounds, heard wood knocks and tree breaks in the early hours of the morning when no one else is around. Have heard wood knock responses to my knocks which I've captured on camera and uploaded which is on one of my previous videos. Seen strange tree breaks in the shape of a "W" and was too thick to be broken by a person, seen 2 possible footprints which were around 16" in length, they are in earlier videos and have seen other strange stuff like sheep remains in the forest too deep to have just wandered off as there was no grass in there for to graze and found wool/skin up a tree so all this is a mystery to me. Had a farm worker tell me the other day about a 7 foot tall figure seen in the farm yard and threw a hammer at him in the shed while checking the lambs, he has had corn, chickens, sheep and tools go missing only to find the tools later scattered around. He has invited me to the area to have a look so think he's sincere as doesn't want the attention or be identified but wanted to tell someone his story. So there are some strange things going on around Harwood forest
