Coming spring in a couple of weeks, this inspires me to get out regardless of unpredictable weather and get a jump on the season! Thanks and great video! Written as I sit drinking coffee watching the rain pouring down .... 😉
Forecast drives me mad when it is wrong and looks like those pegs earned their corn and I think the last time I watched Coronation Street was in the 1960s lol. I think you made the right decision to drop to the car early, in the lull in the weather, especially as you were wide awake and a nice warm bed at home is awaiting, cheers Alan
The pegs are excellent, bit bulky but a must if you want to camp in windy conditions. My parents took me to the original Corrie set at the Granada studios when I was a nipper, loved it since 😂
I think one this we have had to get use yo in the Uk is even with rain just press through. Lol you aren’t going to melt and if you are always looking for clear weather you won’t ever do much!
Nice one Robin. Took the kids up there few days back. Was boggy as anything! Good decision to bail. No point waiting it out if you’ve got a dry window. 👍🏼
Great hike and views there Robin. It’s amazing how you can drop a few metres and it’s as if there was no wind at all! The Helm and those delta pegs looked like they could handle a lot worse! Stay safe. ATB Anthony 👍👍👍
I know what you mean, there was a dog poo bag dumped next to it before. 😡 Water was boiled or filtered for that reason as there's not much else available water wise, unless you carry it in.
@@WalkWithWallace with all the horses, sheep, coos and dog poo I'd rather carry the water in. I'll have to sleep up there sometime. I'm on those hills a lot. Love them. I've been there in snow, wind, rain, sun, in the dark etc but never slept there
It's worth just popping out Robin even if it is a bit blowy on top. You did some morse code and we learnt of your Coronation St fetish. I like the idea of perceiving the city to. What's going on at its heart? So many stories. Well, enjoyable one. Mark
Hey Mark, I missed Coronation Street tonight as I'm with company. 😁 I'll catch up tomorrow. Hope you're well mate. I'm sitting tight for your next instalment.
@@OUTDOORALLY yeah, annoyingly youtube sometimes hides comments on the mobile platform or you can't see them at all even though you got a notification email.
@@WalkWithWallace steel city it has some nice spots but much prefer getting out to the peak District which is tiny in comparison to your back yard but still a nice escape 🤟
@@stevebaggaley28 yeah I totally get that, much like the Highlands for me. With all these lockdown restrictions, it looks like local areas for all of us. 😔
Ah Robin, you gave me a much needed laugh! “I realised it was a lighthouse” “Corrie”😂. Those delta pegs are awesome aren’t they? 👏We’re lucky we have a box from large family tents of old (after a particular occasion packing up a bell tent and three small kids at 2am in a Durness hurricane 😂😂), so use them with the backpacking tents now👍. Haven’t come up with a better storage solution either - tend to tie them onto the outside of a pack (or shove in Osprey stretchy external pocket) too.
True story that. 🤣 The pegs are excellent, just give you that reassurance your tent is secure. They weren't originally aimed at backpacking tents either. I'd worry they'd damage the pouch in my Osprey, so I'll need to find a better solution.
@@WalkWithWallace I tend to wrap them in my waterproof trousers for protection. Or put them inside the ‘pocket’ of a small folded piece of tyvek (that I can carry as a sort of ‘kitchen surface)’.
Hi Robin, it was fun to watch this one. In theory you could make the whole movie at evening and still go home same night to watch Coronation street with your wife:-]
Forecast got it wrong.....again. 😂🤣☔️. 😂🤣😜😎👍, when I went up to the viewing deck of the Q1 building on the Gold Coast with my old Dalry Primary Schoolmate, Neil......I was looking down like batman, thinking 'all I can see is crime...chased one there, drug-house there, wrote-off a patrol car here, good fist-fight here...' 🤣😂😜👍. You've got that 'rozzers perspective' 😜.
Nice vid 👍 looks little blowy there mate. I don't mind camping in the rain. It's the setting up and packing up in it I don't like...lol On a bike trip last year I got caught in heavy rain. It started about an hour after I set up and lasted all the night and the following day until about 10.00 pm.
Was interested to see how your Helm 1 compact performs in wind because I have the Helm 2 Compact, Seemed to do well. I also always take out 4 Deltas, great pegs maybe the best
If the Helm Compact was about 500-700g lighter, it would be the ultimate tent. But at £140 you can't complain. The Deltas are good, but I like the 9" Easton pegs too for most trips.
@@WalkWithWallace Agreed Robin, but then the price would really soar, nothing wrong with that extra weight unless you are hiking a long way. Hope you're keeping those Starlings well feed. Mine demand a feed every day now lol, still as argumentative ha ha
@@cairnscrow8713 that's true. Its my go to tent for shorter trips. We are indeed, the numbers have dropped, but we're still getting starlings daily, they've almost lost their baby feathers.
Those forecasts have been all over the spot lately Robin , nice cheeky little camp cracking views over the big E . yeah those deltas are great but not easy to pack away lol . looks like I had my last camp a few back and now cant get out wed night as we will be in lockdown down here thursday morn 😂😂😂atb Dave
I noticed that, confidence is low half the time. ☔ ☀ 🌨. Yeah, I'm in level 3 up here and asked not to travel out of my council area (East Lothian). Which still gives me a bit to play with for nights out. 🤔 Someone apparently makes bags for the Deltas, a tip off in the comments section on here...
Good stuff Robin. Plenty of good walks up that way and looks like the tent was perfect for the conditions. I've got a Trisar 2 and it does the job as well. I'm terms of storing the delta pegs check out Lucy Quinton on uk wild camping gear for sale as she is selling homemade storage bags specially made for delta pegs - I bought one and they are excellent quality made from hilleberg ground sheet.
Thanks Selwyn, I'm going to try the Lammermuirs next as I've been up the Pentlands a lot this year. Thanks for the tip too, I've requested to join the group and will find Lucy. 😁 👌🏼
That's my spot ya bass... Give or take a couple hundred metres or so. Brilliant watching the weather float along the Forth... Do need a strong tent for the wind on occasion as u found out 😂
@@WalkWithWallace I'm scared to test my nemo hornet up there incase of winds like that! Need to hunt for a new spot now. If only there were 2 trees at that burn a wee bit further round n higher up. Be good to sling a hammock right there
@@WalkWithWallace Aye it looks good like, just waiting on that break in the winds. I'll maybe let u take it out for a review before I end up selling it on. Pretty rare things over here. Got one of there riff sleeping bags for when the snows hit too. Top quality gear!
Nice wee overnighter Robin and great views of Edinburgh too :) I was up Arthurs Seat a few years ago and loved the views from that hill as well mega busy hill though!
Cheers Peter. The views from Arthur's Seat probably edge Allermuir as you're right in the thick of it. 😁 Was back up two weeks ago and it was heaving, not tourist heaving though.

@@stevesdaysoff2759 I do like it, having that luxury to move away from the camera opens up options for vlogging. It works the same as a normal mic, you plug it into the GoPro adapter, and the receiver clips into the coldshoe mount where your original mic would have went. You get up to 7 hours use from one charge.

I know what you mean. Some are better than others, I have had some really bad ones. If you put too much water in them it spoils them too. Bla Band are actually decent.

what happened to the Helm 1
