  • A night on the hills always does me good, this time I was joined by a few wild animals!
    I plan on wild camping in all 15 of the UK's national parks, this time it was Dartmoor; 12 down 3 to go.

    I live in Plymouth, right next to the moors and one of the best things I can say about Dartmoor is the wild ponies, watching them run together and just be free is so beautiful and their determination will never cease to amaze me.

    Great video Liam. My stomping ground for 55 years. I first wild camped aged 13, walked solo Plymouth to Okehampton army camp and back the next day. Kids wouldn't be allowed these days. Been smitten ever since. It's a wonderful place to escape to. I think you're on Cosdon Hill, originally Cawsand Hill.

      It was different then. From age 5 walked everywhere, dad didn't have a car. Far fewer restrictions, fences, etc and considerably fewer cars. You would see a few farmers and the Marines out training and that was it. I camped between Yes Tor and the Army camp outside Okehampton in a 30 shilling Millets cotton pup tent.

      It get's better brother, wasted 20 years of my life with anxiety & panic attacks. These days it's rare for me to panic over anything, and if I do, I accept it, and even welcome it like an old friend, with little to no emotional reaction it never bothers me, and subsides. You gotta get outside sir, as often as you can, and exercise as much as you're able, anxiety loves inactivity & boredom. If you can find her books I'd recommend Dr. Claire Weekes series on Anxiety, after trying every treatment & medication known to man (including anti-psychotics etc) Her books (and putting acceptance into practise) combined with exercise solved the majority of my issues. She was a very wise old bird, and well worth a read. And I can tell you from experience it's very difficult to be anxious, when you're physically exhausted from exersion. Wish you all the very best.
