      It’s true man. 😂 beer experts everywhere these days. It all tastes the same. I’d definitely survive on rabbits and water 😂 Atb. Enjoying your vids too. I just don’t comment much. Atb 👍

      Was gunna say the same!!
      But all these so called ipa that are not ipa, should find a name for their own brews
      Nipa is good and pale ale is good.
      It’s like saying Newcastle Broon is a Stout. Is it bolloxs

    Brilliant video. They reckon if you lived off something such as only rabbit meat you would get protein poisoning, which is nicknamed "rabbit starvation". I remember that from the end of the film Into the Wild. I hope the next camp is a cracker

      @AndyWardle  2 роки тому +1

      Cheers mick. Yeah tents less than 1kg but really small. For me at least. I like a bit more space. Saying that I’ve used it loads. Cracking pitch though. Definitely going again. Atb. 👍

    Hi Andy, I'm from Cramlington and love watching your videos. I really respect and appreciate you for pointing out about leaving fire burns on the ground and also of course the LeaveNoTrace importance.
    I get away for many hikes in the Cheviots and the Lake District every other week or so and I can remember the stream hopping coming down from the Cheviot very recently that way. 🙂👍
    I have only done a couple of wild camps but no solo ones and I'd love to kick on and get a few done and get some new kit at some point.
    Thanks for your videos mate I watch each and every one of them as soon as they're posted and spend a lot of my evenings watching them too. Would be so cool to bump into you one day! 👍🙂

    Great video,
    Camped there a few times, I first saw it on a Blamhof video in may five years ago,
    Mid week best there if you can,
    Your food was fantastic, asparagus is spot on,lovely chilled out camp, I am watching it as I watch the sunset before I pitch the bivy,
    Moving !!!!! It’s crap, I have had a few weeks of it ,with a forced rental for 10 days to keep the chain going !!!!
    Keep em coming

    • @AndyWardle
      @AndyWardle  2 роки тому

      Stressful moving. It’s unreal how much stuff you accumulate. I’ll get there. Yeah we’ve camped here a few times. Last time wasn’t good. This time was spot on though. Cheers for watching atb 👍

  • @Wildcamping101
    @Wildcamping101 2 роки тому

    Racking video as always Andy, lovely spot that. Looks great for a nice chilled one. The lightweight setup looks the business. You didn’t take much persuading 🤣😂🤣 it’s cracking pad though. Need get yourself a duomid, tonnes of space in that and a great lightweight option.
    Enjoyed the vid. Cracking job as always. ATB, Craig.

    • @AndyWardle
      @AndyWardle  2 роки тому +1

      Cheers Craig. Yeah I am weak 😂. Glad I got it though. I’ve been eyeing up the duomid too 🙈 one day I’ll be happy 😂 Atb mate. 👍

    Just got the women's neoair very happy with it! I have the forclaz trek 900 bag from decathlon had it down to below freezing but its a light summer bag really, plus small packsize and variety of sizes 👍

    • @AndyWardle
      @AndyWardle  2 роки тому

      Nice. I’ve looked at the forclaz. It’s on my shortlist. Not a bad looking bag. Pack size to warmth it’s a balancing act. Sure I’ll crack it. Atb 👍

  • @emz_adventure
    @emz_adventure 2 роки тому

    Lush spot that mind. Always been a super quiet hike up to cheviot that route. The house is private belongs to estate. They use it all summer ☀️. I love the treacherous hike up to hedgehope from there. Gets the lungs open. The hope is a lush waterfall. Ya should have gone in man. Really enjoyed ya video. Take care 🙂

    • @AndyWardle
      @AndyWardle  2 роки тому +1

      Really nice spot. My 3rd visit. Last time didn’t end well 😂 I’ll not be going up hedgeherp that way thanks 😂 lovely that house like. Well kept. I’ll go for a dip next time 🧐 maybe 😂 the water was ice cold. Cheers for watching atb 👍

  • @stephenwharrior5835
    @stephenwharrior5835 2 роки тому

    • @AndyWardle
      @AndyWardle  2 роки тому

      Definitely impressed up to now. My winter mat takes up loads of space. So this is definitely an improvement. Atb 👍

  • @BorderRambler
    @BorderRambler 2 роки тому

    You rattled this trip out quick , what a great little spot indeed. Water on tap , decent scran ,music and a few beers what more do you want . New mat looks the biz and sooooo light . Can I here the dipper in the background ? What you gonna get to replace the pretents then marra . Atb Dave

    • @AndyWardle
      @AndyWardle  2 роки тому

      Cracking place like. Unless there’s midges it gets brutal. I was in my element like sat there totally relaxed. I’m looking at many replacements. Duomid is top. I’m undecided. Bit more research and I’ll get on it. Atb mate. 👍

  • @anthonypayne1
    @anthonypayne1 2 роки тому

    That's a sweet little spot you found there, glad you didn't have to bail this time. So is this where you're moving to then?🤣

    • @AndyWardle
      @AndyWardle  2 роки тому

      I’d move there like. Live off rabbits and water 😂 I’ll be doing a midge check before going back mind. I’ll never forget it 😂 Atb Anthony hope you’re well 👍

    How much are you selling the tent for?

    • @AndyWardle
      @AndyWardle  2 роки тому

      It is a good spot in certain cases. Not midge season though 😖 dunno about the tent. Might auction it see how it goes. Atb 👍

  • @hedgerowsandzeros

    Speaking of caveman I was called that when I drove milk tankers because of my long hair and beard, I think they modeled that bloke in Harry potter after me lol. You are right it is a lovely spot bro so thanks for letting us tag along. Safe travels

    • @AndyWardle
      @AndyWardle  2 роки тому

      😂 nice one Hagrid.
      Yep definitely a little oasis that place. I know where to go if it’s windy up too now. Hopefully midge free too. Atb mate. 👍

  • @shabingly
    @shabingly 2 роки тому

    I have thought about getting that tent, pretents soloist is it? Only really cos I was intrigued by the door tbh 😂
    Came to my senses and realised I've essentially got the same tent in the Lanshan 1 2021 for less cash, and it's fine for what I do.
    Nice to see someone drinking my local brew from Saltaire.

    • @AndyWardle
      @AndyWardle  2 роки тому

      The lanshan is probably better for space and layout. The pretents is too small for me personally. The material is super quality though. That’s the difference. But yeah. Stick with the lanshan. I do like the door on the pretents mind. 👍

    • @AndyWardle
      @AndyWardle  2 роки тому +1

      Love a good fry up me. I’ll do more of that. Tent is ok. I’ll be changing it though. And yes the mat was mint. Really quiet unlike the other thermarests. 👍

    @acedecs 2 роки тому

    It’s nice to get a chilled one now and then mate. I was above byness on Friday night on the border ridge. Windy as hell a lashed down. Wasn’t happy. What garmin are you using. I’ve just bought a tactix delta solar haven’t got a clue how to use it 🤣

    • @AndyWardle
      @AndyWardle  2 роки тому

      I stayed low due to the wind forecast like. The tent in this wouldn’t be enjoyable 😂 mines the fenix 6s. Just a cheap one like 🤦‍♂️ look on UA-cam for tutorials I’ve learned a lot. 👍
