  • I turned 40 at the beginning of December 2021 and wanted to make and inspire change. I love the outdoors and I love exploring new places so I set myself a challenge for my 40th year........
    I decided I would reach 40 summits of 40 mountains at the age of 40!
    So over the next year I'll be doing 40@40 💪
    This video is me reaching summits 1 & 2. High Willhays and Yes Tor at Dartmoor National Park. It was windy, foggy and boggy but I loved it!
    Only 38 to go...... I have a lot planned this year and will be documenting as much of it as possible. I'd love for you to join me on my adventures and hope to inspire you to get outdoors.
    If you would like to support my channel and buy me a coffee it would be greatly appreciated 😊
    Thank you to everyone for the likes, subs and encouraging comments. You're continued support is overwhelming and heartwarming ❤️

    It's a shame it was such a foggy day, can't see any of the views! But you Bagged 4-5 peaks from what I can see! The one with the "Big boulders coming out the earth" is Blackator :) You would've also done Fordsland's Ledge and Longstone Hill too, and you would've passed close to Southdown Spur at the damn/reservoir, and passed 'Hampster Tor' between High Willhays and Yes Tor, good job!

      I've not climbed many mountains yet, only 8 so far. Need to upload my other videos. However, this was one of the easier ones I've done. Maybe just try doing high Willhays on its own to start with. Take your time, lots of breaks when you need them and I'm sure you'll get there and love it! I'm still in the process of collecting my wild camping kit but hoping to try that out this year too 😊

      My favorite walk is a 12 mile loop on exmoor it takes in the stunning North coast and a picturesque walk up the side of the east lyn River.
      It's an epic walk.
      There is a video on my channel called "Countisbury and Brendon"
      In the "Exmoor golden walks"
      Playlist.
      If u do decide to give it a go ill send you the route planner somehow.
      Take care ✌
