  • Outdoors Inspiration, Shamus McCaffery, shares his experience of the beautiful West Dart River. He explores hidden aspects of the river with his German Shepherd, Petra, while Storm Francis lashes the UK. They meet kayakers, tell tales of salmon, otters and explore the real Dartmoor Pixies Cave. With nearly four decades of wild camping experience, he shares his knowledge of Dartmoor wildlife and the river system that is born high on the moors.

    Nice to meet you and Petra (I'm one of the kayakers in the video).
    Great video, really interesting and informative.

      ModelMakerMan - Hi again 😊 It was a surprise and a pleasure to meet you all on the banks of the West Dart. Thank you for taking the time to find my channel and this video. I hope you had a great trip down the Dart, did you come out at Newbridge?
      All the best, paddles up...

      We assessed the levels just below Dartmeet, the river was dropping slower than we expected so some of the group got off there and the rest of us carried on down to New Bridge.
      Lovely high level run down. The Dart is such a great river, its so different at different levels there is always fun to be had if you are competent and respectful enough of nature and your own limitations.

      ModelMakerMan - Excellent, and there lies the secret to a happy life 👍 Drop me line if you’re paddling the Dart again this season and I may just have an opportunity to film you ‘playing’
      All the best.

    If they're anything like the pixies near the end of Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga I understand why not to upset them.

    Good work Shamus,
    Apologies if I have spelt your name wrong, great videos, pleasure watching, very informative. I see you haven't done anymore for over a year, that's a shame as they are very educational. Would you be able to give me the grid reference of the pixi cave please my daughter would love to see that. Look forward to hearing from you soon.

    Your videos just keep getting better! Really love your videography (liked the vantage point from beneath when Petra jumped over the camera across the rocks early on), and that you talk, but also showcase your surroundings (have watched videos wherein people hike, but keep the camera aimed at their faces, and talk the entire time while amazing scenery passes by behind them 😳). Love the creepy pixie story (& music 🎶), and that blue marble you left 💙! I noticed Petra staying at the cave entrance (smart lady! 😘🐕). Thank you, Shamus, you are a fun fount of knowledge!!

      Thank you for taking the time to comment so constructively. I quite liked the little blue marble as well 😊

      Outdoors Inspiration - I also spied some Aigle boots; I love those! Little less rural, more suburban around here, but I still manage to have 2 pairs that I relish pulling out when we get stormy weather ⛈🤗

    • @outdoorsinspiration9284
      @outdoorsinspiration9284  4 роки тому

      THWatson - definitely comfortable boots. I have a two pairs- one pair are neoprene lined but make my socks slip down my foot 😂 Popular with shooting and fishing here.

    • @ThanhHW
      @ThanhHW 4 роки тому +1

      Outdoors Inspiration 😁 oh yes, I’m familiar with that sock slippage- sometimes the heel grip will nudge my socks down into a massive feeling bundle. Good times! 🙈
