Then the next day whilst looking at a ruin in a glade (beautiful really) your comments "Investigating with Aden......" " Shall we do a renovation project loves?" - had me roaring with laughter! 😆 I am glad your trip wild camping on Dartmoor went really well for you and certainly enjoyed watching.

  • @gayleafcb

    As you know I am in a wheelchair so the only way I go hiking is through you! Loved the video and could literally smell the nature. Helped by my autistic son having appeared with a bunch of leaves as gifts for me, saying he was bringing nature to me as I don't get out in it enough! Great timing on his part as I had a wonderful leafy smell to accompany the video. My names suggestions for the tent are: Nellie (around the world in 72 days), Tabitha (means “gazelle,” but suggests swiftness and movement), or Saira (an Arabic name meaning “traveler.”), ☺
    I have been to Dartmoor, visited the prison many times (as a solicitor!!!). The first time was in winter, there was a thick fog and I have never seen anywhere as bleak as that journey. Whilst not a fan of zoos, I prefer animals to be in their natural habitat, I used to take my son to Dartmoor zoo 3/4 times every summer school holiday because he loved to sit and watch the tigers all day. That was it, just the tigers!

    Loved this video, made me want to head out onto the moors. Been a while since I've done a hike up there. Burrator is one of my favourites 🙂 I had a friend who lived in Princetown and we went out there on NYE one year. We went outside at midnight and you could hear the inmates at Dartmoor prison cheering and banging against the bars. It was super eerie!

  • @oliviami_
    @oliviami_ 5 місяців тому +4

    that was the best hiking vlog i ever seen. Maybe you didnt see my feedback but yet considered it hahaha i loved how much time you took to really let us take in the views and little creeks around and all in all it was amazing to watch. I am so glad you have a great time doing this. Your mood really transfers via the screen to me and i love that. Thank you so much! My favourite was actually the "lord of the rings" spot you showed us. I would have just stayed there all day long to be honest haha!

  • @otterley_3041
    @otterley_3041 5 місяців тому +2

    I’ve always been really scared of Dartmoor. It’s always been a spooky place in my mind. Probably from reading Hound of the Baskervilles and other novels featuring moors like Jamaica Inn. This has shown me that it’s not all bad 😊 another great video 😊 Still scared of bogs and mires though…

  • @LivinInSim
    @LivinInSim 5 місяців тому +1

    So that is an English moor...it's made a nice contrast to your other showings. In fact there were a lot of variations in the moor itself, the craggy areas, the wooded parts, sweeps without a tree for miles, the lake, the boggy swamp, so many little brooks. The sky is so much more a factor in the open areas, and there were some lovely clouds that day. I love it when I can stand on a relatively high point and see the clouds sweeping by. I just seem to get a feel of the vastness of the earth and sky.
    I've seen pictures of the stone circles before. They are very intriguing. I never realized they have the row opf standing stones that look like they're guiding the way to them? Is that unique to just this one? It looked like they stretched along your path for quite a way. How helpful to use an ancient wayfaring method that is still here to this very day. The ruin seemed to have had actual walls, so I doubt it could've been a quarry for the stones. Princetown seemed to almost be a part of the moor. Hope your roast beef was delish.
    Please keep them coming, Aden!

    I walked the Cotswolds Way in Summer 2012 and it was the wettest walk I’d ever done. But so beautiful! I cannot wait for you to do the West Highland Way. It’s a lovely walk and very doable even for the more inexperienced, which you are not! You certainly are ready! If I ever run into you on a trail I’ll say hi and try not to scare you 😊

    Another comment now that I finished the video. Tent name suggestion: Tamara. I'm so proud of you for your first solo wild camping! Glad it wasn't scary. And maybe a build video suggestion: since you stayed at that beautiful converted-prison hotel and we got to see a bit of Dartmoor Prision, you could do a build based on those, and turn them into apartments!

Just a whole trail with beautiful and to be able to go around and hike without worrying about some crazy person coming out of the woods and killing you. So that's the beauty of not being in the States!! 😂

    Sharpitor (opposite side of Burrator Reservoir to Sheepstor) also has a fantastic view & rocky climb - many of the tors in that area consumed my childhood in the summertime! I've just returned back to the states from our annual summer trip to England, visiting family, but I'm glad you had a wonderful time in this rugged landscape! Looking forward to more Dartmoor NP videos in the future! xx
    p.s. the US flag hung in the Princetown Church might be because the church was built by American prisoners of war (a young gentleman working at the National Park Visitor Centre is very knowledgeable and passionate about the area and can tell you all sorts of interesting facts!)
