Nice one Graham (and Adrian) - it's not somewhere I'd have camped, it's got a certain 'air' to it, and it's cold and damp there even in summer 😬 But great to see someone camp there, and in bivi's as well! It used to be a lovely meander through the forest to hit the hidden waterfall, but it's been cut right back for a good few years now - mind it's still a mission to find. Enjoyed the vid, as always, and one hopes your mental health hasn't taken a tumble after the red wine 😂😂 TFS and ATB DVS :)
Yes, it's a bit harder to find now. It used to be a FC trail walk but it's changed so much now, with the trees coming down and paths obscured. Thanks very much Donna and my mental health is ok 😉Those wine and beer reviews are getting harder to write! ATB, G 👍👍
Been there a few times many years ago as a family (including you) before the trees were cut down. It was easier to find. Mam was always spooked by the atmosphere and pleased to leave. Do you remember the skull engraved in the cliff face?
I think I'm basing some of my camp spots on those family walks we did in the late eighties and nineties. Yeah, I remember that. It's gone now. It remains a spooky place!
Great video Graham, what an amazing spot! I LOVE a good venison burger mate, unbeatable on a cold winter camp. Thoroughly enjoyed this, thanks for sharing the experience 👍👍
A great spot that. I went a few years ago but it was damp and the midge were still about later in the year. I know what you mean about that feeling as you feel ambushed in there 😂. Great video as always and always watch them all. Look for to the next one as always.
I thought you might know it Mark, It seems a handful of people do. It does seem like a midge ridden place in the wrong conditions- probably worse than any faerie. I wouldn't stay there alone, too much atmosphere for me! Thank you very much, very kind thing to say ATB, G 👍
Enjoyed this video and Adrians as well. What a perfect little find. Love the fact you are philosophical and then straight away ssy how lobely the wine is lol
Hi 👋 Graham from Gateshead here, I am new to your channel and really enjoyed your video! I didn’t realise there was so much to see in our neck of the woods so I am planning on venturing out next spring to explore these fascinating places (I have only done a couple of beach bivy overnighters in the north east)
Hey, thanks, nice to hear you enjoyed the video! Tons of great places to explore and camp in Northumberland, hope you enjoy your explorations next spring! ATB, Graham 👍👍
Really enjoyed that mate. Loved the star timelapse and the Fairy/Goblin atmosphere . I have had some creepy "was I asleep or was dreaming " moments the last being under a tarp just off Blea Moor trig point when a very thick set black shape crossed my view of the blood moon and stars ..it stopped as if to glare at me then passed . My blood literally stopped in my veins......
Oh, what a great story, if not a great experience! I love tales of the spooky stuff that happens to us when out in remote places! Glad I’m not the only one who dreams this weird stuff. Cheers, G 😮👍👍
I have been to that Waterfall a few times on circular day walks … it really is a hidden gem . I have also been to what I would class as another almost enchanted location not too far East of the Waterfall . Enjoyed your video … brings back nice memories . ETA When I walked the area the trees had not been cropped but they were dense and my Garmin GPS did not work well … tracks faint ... not well used … even then what was on the map was not on the ground . Once amongst the trees possible to become disorientated .
It’s absolutely magical isn’t it? Love the place. I remember hiking to it in the 80’s and 90’s well before any FC harvesting and the difference between then and now is like night and day. Totally different aspect now but the dell itself remains much the same. I think I know the place to the east with a charm of its own. Thanks for watching, ATB, Graham 👍
Cracking location Graham , I don’t know about spooky but that water dripping all night would have me pissing all night long 😂😂 Nice setup and some great food , the little bushbox is great for around camp atb Dave 🥶⛺️👍
Brilliant mate ,cracking vid , loving the craic as always , that’s definitely my favourite hidden gem in Northumberland, it has got that eerie feeling whilst in there , great setups too ,burgers looked the biz ,wine review wey ya some lyrical genius 😝😝, belta Graham ,thanks atvb Deka 👌🏻💯👍🏻
@@dekacoombe4595 Thanks for the inspiration mate- and the rations! It does have that eerie feeling doesn’t it? Special little place. Those burgers were too class, I’ll be getting those again. ATB mate and thanks again, G 🙏👍
I thought it was only me who hears voices camping by water, glad to know I am not mad lol, very atmospheric spot to camp. Figured out the spot might not visit it till the summer on a day hike, good to see places like this, will leave it as it should be left.
@@dino19671 glad to know it’s not just me too! Well done for figuring it out, it’s an amazing place to visit and I haven’t seen much of it on YT. ATB, G 👍👍
Loved it Graham. Running water would make me want to pee 🤦♂️ Looked a beautiful day for being out, and a spooky night 😳 Keep em coming! Will have to get me a bottle of that wine and savour the desolation of life 😂
Fantastic video brilliant I love to tarp link the rear tie out to the trekking pole in a v its sweet I do most of my camps using the same setup Great location too Beautiful country most never bother to see👌
Thanks very much! Yep I love this little set up, it gives views all around with providing protection from above and doesn’t need any trees etc. Cheers and ATB, G 👍
Great video mate, its funny you mention the mad dreams when me and mark stopped on friday I had mental dreams too. One was the tent was surrounded by people or shadows and they stampede me crushing me and I woke with a tight chest and shit mesel I was telling mark in way home and he told me to watch your video how mad
Thank you, maybe there is something about that place that predisposes people to funny dreams, the towering crags, the constant sound of the watefall and it's feeling of isolation. Glad I'm not the only one! Hope you enjoyed your trip mate, ATB, G 👍
What a beautiful spot Graham , the Gaelic term ‘Obair Nan Sithichean’ comes to mind about where you’ve been with Adrian. A place to navigate to for solitude or water torture!!
I’ll have to ask you what that means Nick. Sounds like a beautiful phrase though. The sound of the water does dominate that dell- you have to get used to it !
What a magical location very beautiful mate. Great video pal (love the dad jokes). And then burgers looked amazing. Thank you for sharing your adventure 🍻
Great video, really enjoyed it. Think the sound of the waterfall would have been a bit much for me all night. Must try the moorhouse burgers, I pass the shop a lot with work👍
I can recommend the sausages as well - top class! You’re right about the waterfall, the sound dominates the whole dell, but got used to it enough to sleep, ATB, Graham 👍
Thanks Graham for your map clue, I know where the crags are and will visit them in the warmer weather. You can delete the clue now if you want. I look forward to your future adventures. ATB, GS👍
Enjoyed your upload, atmospheric place, I'm not a camper, (not as brave as you lads) but hike/explore Northumberland, no idea where this place is but would love to hike there, so would appreciate a bit help, if you could tell me what number O S Landranger map its on I could try and work it out from there.Thanks
@@grahamswildcamping Cheers. Can't believe I've actually been to that area several times, but completely missed out on going to the camp location in the video. It's also in one of my guidebooks I've used for years, so I don't know how it's eluded me! I'm dying to head back there now to visit it.
Cracking video Graham definitely a creepy looking place especially after all ya stories speaking of spooky dreams i once had a similar dream to yourself i was being dragged in my bivvy bag by two bloke's into the river at my local woods and they tried to drowned me i was sh*tting myself when i really woke up atvb Jimmy 😎😎👍👍
It’s funny but I wonder if that’s a common dream when out in a bivy because we subconsciously feel more vulnerable than usual? Good for their sake those blokes were just dreams- you would have laced them 😂 Cheers Jimmy, ATB 👍
I think the path has mainly been obscured as a result of forestry operations, there was a lot of old brash wood but not many (wind) downed trees. I think I'll let Storm Arwen off on this one, despite the terrible damage it caused elsewhere, TFW, ATB, Graham 👍
😊. Stallegtites hold on tight(as they dangle) stallegmites (grow up with all their might). That's how my geology teacher taught us which way was what😊🫡🤓
The small pipes are my good friend Silky Nick- really glad you like them 👍 It is secluded and shaded but I think that’s part of its charm. We do all need a bit of sunshine though! 👍
cozy set up mate 🔥👌 plenty layers 👍 i regret giving the odd location away in the past (over enthusiastic 🥴) the ferret round your neck needs a haircut 🤣
If any one would like to support my little meanderings:

Wow what a great spot, fantastic mate. I would love to find it.
It’s a really special spot- not too hard to find with a bit of homework! ATB mate, G👍
I REALLY enjoy your uploads, Graham. Thanks for taking us along.
@@Wyowanderer thank you, that’s really appreciated and the sort of comment that keeps me motivated 👍👍👍
Love it there Graham but agree very eerie! Never seen the waterfall frozen! Looked like a good camp 😊
Thanks, it was a great little night, very atmospheric👍👍
Hi Graham, we certainly had a magic camp, great location.
Cheers Adrian😊
@@northumberlandmountainhopper yeah, it worked out didn’t it! Magical little night👍👍
Cracking that,funny how certain places have an air about them,you and those dreams mate.keep them coming,the video and the dreams👍
Yeah, definitely an air about that place. Thanks for the encouragement, I’ll try and keep them coming, cheers, G 👍👍

‘Savour the desolation of life’

Join me in my misery! 😂😂
Fantastic video brilliant

@ and the reviews on the drinks I think that’s cracking mate.
@ brilliantl, glad you like ‘em!

Think the sound of the waterfall would have been a bit much for me all night.
Must try the moorhouse burgers, I pass the shop a lot with work👍
I can recommend the sausages as well - top class! You’re right about the waterfall, the sound dominates the whole dell, but got used to it enough to sleep, ATB, Graham 👍
Fantastic location mate, those burgers looked unreal 😋
Braver man than me camping in those temps 😅
Nothing too brave really- just a good sleeping bag, I was mainly pretty cosy. Champion burgers mind- I'll be getting some more! ATB, G 👍

Storming video Graham! What a cracking spot.... I googled that vast set of tasting notes and the top search result was 'Blue Nun'😉☺
@@garphykeks thank you! Ah, Blue Nun, the tipple of my teenage years. Making me nostalgic now 😂
was there last August - difficult to find the path - loads of reforesting - remnants of Arwen?

Great video graham, looked like a great camp! New sub from us.
Thanks for the sub! That’s always much appreciated 👍👍👍
😊. Stallegtites hold on tight(as they dangle) stallegmites (grow up with all their might). That's how my geology teacher taught us which way was what😊🫡🤓
That makes sense- I think I got it right in the video largely through guessing then 😂
Love the northumbrian music, not keen on this one very secluded and shaded,, i like the sun shine😊
