- A decent 9 miles in the legs doing this circular route, starting and finishing in the Ingram Valley, Northumberland. I’ve been wanting to test my new shelter out, Durston Xmid 1 person, this was a perfect opportunity.
I hope you enjoy the video as much as I did making it. Cheers, Dave.

Now that was a cracking way to end a hill fort hike. That hillfort is stunning and the weather looked bang on. New tent is a sexy one mind ya. Love them and might be a future tent for Myself. Footage was bang on mate 👌🏽. All the best Mark.
Thanks Mark, it was a nice walk out covering some interesting ground, took my time with the walk. Really love this tent, it’s early days but my gut feeling is telling me it’s a game changer. Cheers for watching and commenting mate, it’s much appreciated. Atb, Dave

Fantastic Dave mate, right up my street this, love ancient sites, definitely something id like to do. I was looking at some in Scotland only a few weeks ago. Can't believe you left the water, a little more exercise though eh lol
Cracking tent all the cool kids seem to have one at the minute 😄
Thanks for sharing Atb Mark
Plenty hillforts in my neck of the woods Mark, loads of history like. Aye the water situation ffs, I actually ran back to get it ffs 😂😂. I got the tent in a cracking deal, never paid import tax etc, was brand new too, epic. Cheers for watching fella, Atb Dave
Nice camp and really like the new tent. Shame about the water 🤣 but good for the legs 👍
Haha thanks John, I could’ve cried mate , I was all settle for the night and the penny dropped ffs 😂😂. Still all a learning curve really. Hope you’re well. Cheers, Dave
no better place for a bit of escapism dave 👌you can see you been getting the miles in 💪(pardon the pun) keep it going👍
Can’t beat the hills Geordie mate. Aye, I’ve been out every week for a few months now, I had to remove myself from a situation that was doing me no good tbh, pleased I did now. Hope you’re doing canny mate and thanks for watching. Atb, Dave
Hi there, great camp, nice spots around there for the gentle camps, Ingram valley just a bit busy most of the time, so it’s rare I go there.
Cheers Adrian
Dead right Adrian, it’s a better place to camp in winter time, less people about, some cracking options in these hills. Thanks as always for watching, cheers, Dave
Nice one Dave fancy leaving your water 😂 can't wait to get my x-mid.they look great.

Cracking, let me know your thoughts. Just finished nightshift so I’ll probably do a local one tonight, love it mate 😀
That’s my spot milesy. 😡 😡 foam with added rage.
Cracking drerrn footage mind. Good to see it from the top. I’ve camped on 3 of those tops 😂 you get good value up there like. And easy to reach. Nice one mate. Tent looks good too. I may be tempted 👍
Aye, deffo yours like but the rest of them are mine , all mine 😂. Tbh it’s a beaut place to camp like, short and sweet so you can carry lerds of beer 🍺. The tent is a beaut Andy, I got mine off FB brand new in box so nee duty, it’s a game changer. Had out in strong winds last neet and never budged, never even considered phoning mountain rescue 😂😂….dee it!! Deffo catch up with you soon wor kid. Atb mate
Great vid mate. Looked a cracking pitch, some great views. Happy with the new tent?? Looks a good set up you’ve got 👍🏼 take it easy pal. Craig
Aye Craig, deffo happy with the tent, I had my heart set on a MLD Solomid but the Xmid came out of the blue at a canny price, so far so good. Thanks for watching mate, hope all well and it’ll be good to see you out soon. Cheers, Dave 👍
What a cracking vid. Do you find that it's a right faff on with the drone getting it out and fly?
Cheers Mark, really appreciate you watching mate. Aye, the drone can be a reet chew on like. Adds a lot of footage to the vids so probably worth the hassle. Hope you’re well, happy Christmas 👍👍
