    Still my favourite wild camping channel. Probably biased being based up North but always really enjoy your trips out Graham. Thanks for sharing!

      Wow, thanks, I’m honoured, particularly considering all the other wild camping channels out there! Cheers, ATVB, G 👍👍

    Slim pickings up the moors that way for wildcamping, but you lads did alright as always. I've been to those crags, but never saw any caves there, mind I wasn't looking for any either lol.
    One of the reasons why I like your channel is because you're always out exploring and finding new places to pitch up in, or different routes to places I know. Enjoyable as always - mind last weeks dad joke will be hard to beat, I can't even remember what it was, just that I laughed a lot. Cheers Graham, keep 'em coming :)

      Thanks Donna, that’s what I like about your videos too, the element of exploration and not quite knowing where you’ll end up, but that’s a massive part of the experience and fun. There was slim pickings indeed over that side of the moor but great pitches elsewhere closer to the southern end. Still, worth a bimble. Cheers and thanks very much, G 👍👍

    I too was crushed at a school disco many years ago at age 14. By 11stone 8lbs Margaret Davidson. Totally worth it and thumbs up in a kind of masochistic way👍 Love the video Graham, your cinematography is real class😎 ktf 🙏

    Well Graham I watch your channel for the history and knowledge of the area your camping or exploring and because your a mate 😊 the dad jokes and beer reviews are class.
    That looked like a good slog and it definitely would have been a nightmare if it was raining glad yous found a pitch atvb Jimmy 😎😎👍👍

      Thanks Jimmy, that’s praise indeed coming from one of the big guns like yourself. Glad you’re enjoying the beer reviews and dad jokes 😂 it was a pretty easy walk really and I don’t think I’ll be that way over the moor again, not much in the way of pitches, but as always, just fantastic to be out.

    More hacking than a Sunday league football match Graham! I must admit I've came across a few overgrown entrances in my lifetime as well and had to give up because I couldn't find my way in! Usually after a few strong Candalorians mate!! Great video thanks for sharing the experience.

    I'm starting to worry the dad jokes are getting a bit too good, I'm definitely gonna be stealing that one 😂
    For lighter weight shoes that are going to wet out, it's worth just grabbing a small plastic bag from the corner shop to keep them in the tent I find, they dry out pretty quick if there's body heat nearby and as a bonus it keeps the slugs out
