Best camping spot in Dartmoor? - Great Staple Tor's ledge - Abisko Lite 1
Wild camping on a windy Great Staple Tor in the Fjallraven Abisko Lite 1 over the Christmas period. This could be the best wild camping location in Dartmoor and I had amazing morning views across Merrivale. The day before however it was foggy and windy for the hike up there. 17 hours of darkness for this trip!
All equipment fared very well and kept me warm and dry. I am suffering a little from asthma for the start of this trip but it improved throughout. To answer questions about my hands and face- yes a little wrinkled due to childhood eczema but it looks worse than it is, promise!

This time around I was joined by @Linleys360 and had a really great adventure! New equipment included the Flextail Mini X2 pump and a new Forclaz HL900 head torch.

      @ryangolden8522 if a camp site allows fires then that's fine. For wild camping it isn't good as you have to leave absolutely no trace. Wild camping isn't even legal in England and Wales with the exception of Dartmoor.

    Very nice work Hedley! I watched this just after publishing my most recent video, which theoretically is also a wild camp, and compared to yours I wonder what planet I'm living on! Your video actually gives a real sense of what it's like to have this experience. My video is a bizarre fever dream of a disastrous cloning experiment which tried to combine DNA from a low budget Ray Mears with a low budget Keith Floyd. Lots of really beautiful shots here despite the challenging weather you had to begin with. Really good use of music as well - I particularly enjoyed the choral music in the intro - and I'm saying that from the point of view of one of those grumpy old sods who doesn't normally like a lot of music in videos (Mr WC21's fine work being another notable exception, of course).

    • @hedleythorne
      @hedleythorne День тому

      Thank you so much Tweedy! Your video was superb and I really enjoyed your cooking - mine isn't even worth showing! I have a lot to learn there. Yes I am in love with the piece at the start - Thomas Bergersen has produced some very pleasing music and this is my favourite piece of his. As I filmed the intro it was in my head and so it ended up timing quite well with the piece. As I have a small, therefore non monetised, channel I am collecting copywrite strikes on every video but doing my best to promote the pieces that I use and the associated artists. If I were a channel with 50,000 subscribers which paid me money then I would resort to the DRM music within my meagre PowerDirector editing app, but until I get there (optimism there) then I will continue to use music that I myself enjoy! Thanks again for watching; I am still in the twinkly-eyed honeymoon period of wild camping (started April and this was number 11) and I hope that I enjoy it just as much in years to come.

Ultimately yes I will get a new one in the future, considering a Hilleberg Soulo but they are expensive.

      Haha yes! I suggested that every hour should be "beer o' clock" but apparently that is a bad idea. And a lot to take up...! Thanks for watching. -Hedley

    That’s definitely one of the best wild camping spots I’ve ever seen 😎 Nice to see the Akto and Abisko together on the drone footage. Good idea using your boot as a pot stand I use the MSR Gas Canister Stand there not cheap around £15 but they have extra long legs so your stove won’t fall over. Loving the Level 42 intro music. Atb Karl 👍

      @@TheSummitexplorer69 thank you so much Karl, appreciate the comments. I think a stove is my next purchase and so MSR is on my “to investigate” list, like the idea of a Windmaster (I think that’s MSR?). The Akto and Abisko feel so much like sister tents and it has been great having them side by side (albeit at distance because of my snoring!). Amazing spot this and to be repeated. Love your videos by the way.
