    Nice one Ben, I may pop here at the weekend depending on what gear delivery happens this week. Top video mate, I always get good location ideas from your videos. Cheers

    Hi Ben, Shere is a bit of a climb - guess that is why they have motorcar hillclimb 🤣🤣
    Great area for motorbike riding as well.
    Highly recommend Newlands Corner cafe for eggie bap for breakfast 👍🏻

    Hello Ben, apart from that awkward slope and the zip breaking it was a decent overnighter mate, good to watch and thanks for that. Take care...........Les

    Nice honest video Tom. Loved your walk and photography. When I was a kid , I loved trainspotting. Such a shame that wild campers have to beware of wild campers spotting.

    I really enjoyed that. Really inspired me I'm a total newbie - still practising in my back garden with my brand new Phoxx 1.LOL. hoping to do an actual wild camp later in he month.

    • @benhikescamps

      I Run Trails Many thanks for that. Glad you enjoyed it. I think it’s a good move practising in the garden. Also a recce of a potential area will put you at ease. Check it out too on Google Maps and OS Maps (free with Bing online). The it’s a case of just taking the plunge. The satisfaction after is worth it! 👍⛺️ ATB - Ben

    That holloway was something special, great views from the top, the morning mist shot was beautiful. Shame about the zip, but you can get that fixed easy enough.

    Nice one Ben, that's commitment promising an upload every 2 weeks 😁 I enjoyed this viddy mate, you could of used the poppers to seal yourself into "Dutchy" not ideal but may have been better than the mesh, I have to pop mine up as my zips iffy the last 1/4 of the run.. can't undo it if I go too far!

      @@benhikescamps Not a criticism Ben... just an observation matey... I need to renew my zip but it's pricey... I've just ordered a new bivvy, no hoop or designed with one, so claustrophobia levels will be high.
