Dartmoor Solo camp, campfire chat
Переглядів 4808 місяців тому
Another chilled camp on Dartmoor but this time with a nice open campfire. Luckily someone allowed me to use some of their land for this as fires are not permitted on Dartmoor National Park, so this was a little luxury and lots of fun. I didn't have much energy during this video so i do apologise, i was stuck with a rough cold but still wanted to make something. Gear list - finoutdoors.myportfol...
Dartmoor Riverside Wild Camp

A slower paced, relaxed wild camp along the east river dart on Dartmoor this time. Introducing myself and just enjoying my evening. Any questions you've got fire away, catch you in the next one. If you'd like to wild camp on Dartmoor, I've attached a link to a map of the legal areas you can wild camp. - www.dartmoor.gov.uk/about-us/about-us-maps/camping-map

    Thanks for this Fin, I’m 52 now, but in my teens I grew up in Ivybridge, it took 15mins to get from my house to the Moorgate, I used to go up on my own and with friends, and 10 Tors with the school. It’s a special place, and helped with my mental health too. It’s hard to describe, but there is an energy and a sense of peace that I’ve not experienced anywhere else. Very best to you, and wishing you all the success with your endeavours.

      Hi Richard, apologies for the slow reply, life's been in the way (Typical) Thankyou for the kind words, there is definitely a special energy and sense of peace up on the moors, it's my favourite place to explore. I bet you had some amazing adventures with your friends, i wish i could get mine out with me haha. Again, thankyou for the kind words, hopefully more to come on here!

I appreciate you may not want to comment on that publicly so as not to over-run the place, but could you give Me an idea? Many thanks! ⛺️

      Hi Nicola! This was at along the east river dart, the coordinates exactly are: 50.6159437, -3.9249341 I was dropped off at the Postbridge visitor centre but I believe there is some local parking nearby, worth having a google just to be sure! There's a public footpath that starts from the visitor centre, dead easy to follow

    Interesting video. I’ve only really been into hiking for about 8 months I just seemed the next logical step was to wild camp. So far only done two both with my dog unfortunately the wife isn’t interested except in a few of the hikes. I picked up The OEX Phoxx 2 v 2 I absolutely love it, I’m a total novice regarding tents but it’s a doddle to set up. I feel I’ve been very lucky with all the gear I’ve picked up so all works perfectly. I’m hoping to get down to Dartmoor over the next few weeks for a few days legit wild camping with my ever faithful dog I live in Kent which is far more populated than most of Devon so stealth is definitely name of the game in my neck of the woods pun intended. The Phoxx to is perfect as it’s low profile helps with the stealthiness Keep up the channel,

      The Phoxx has been amazing for me over the past few years, the stealth element is fantastic for the price and quality, i've recently picked up a new tent but kept the Phoxx for those stealthier camps away from Dartmoor. Hopefully i'll be uploading lots more in different areas of the country, thankyou for the kind words.

    Hey buddy, just decided to catch up on some wildcamping vids & came across your channel. Cracking spot & I admired the honesty when you were chatting 👍.No shame in saying hey "Lifes tough" at the minute, but as you said, being outdoors under canvas is natures therapy & washed down with a DMF is pure joy. I will drop you a DM on your 📸as I would love to join you all for an adventure sometime. I split my time between Devon & mostly South Wales so I'm lucky with the Brecons a mere 45 mins away.

      Hi Phill, it's just down from Norsworthy Car Park, if you're going around the reservoir clockwise you'll see it about 100m or so after passing Nosworthy. Its right at the end of the reservoir, practically at the base of Sheepstor

    Lovely video Fin! Started to feel very emotional when you were there enjoying the peace, beauty and solitude of Dartmoor. It's a special place, and hard to describe the emotions. The last wild camp I did was close to Watern Tor, definitely a stunning tor to visit. I've missed it, but all being well hope to continue my love affair with it very soon. Keep doing what you're doing, such a positive contrast to other videos that are on UA-cam. Take care matey! Simon, Somerset.

      Thankyou mate! Its such a nice spot and quick to get too if you don't fancy a big trek, its just down the road from the Norsworthy Bridge Car Park, if you're going clockwise around the reservoir. Or you can still access it from Norsworthy bridge if its full. Cracking area with tons of spots to pitch up.

    Great video, thanks for sharing your wild camp in this beautiful area, and for your thoughts too. It occurred to me as i watched what a relief it must be to camp without any concern for snakes or other things that might have capacity to kill you! 😳 As im sure you know, we need to be slightly more mindful of such things here in Australia. Speaking of our beautiful country and camping/bush craft in it, you might check out this channel - Scotty goes on some incredible trips, here and also in NZ, and demonstrates incredible skills but also a real love of nature. I dont know him, but really enjoy watching his vids and they could be transferrable to you / your camping business.

    Hello Fin, stumbled across your video, and I'm glad that I did. Dartmoor is the place to escape to, stunning scenery and an atmosphere that can only benefit anyone who loves solitude. It's probably my favourite place to spend time by myself in. Your honesty was brilliant, and hopefully it will inspire others to do the same as you. Keep doing what you're doing and continue experiencing the peace and solitude, and you will create something that is original and unique, and at the same time give you so much strength and well being. Take care! Simon., Somerset
