- Relaxing yet eerie hike and camp, this time with no music to capture the muted ambience of this solo wild camp on Dartmoor. But am I alone?
I apologise for the click bait title and thumbnail... I couldn't resist 😜

In this episode of Summit or Nothing, Trev takes a peaceful relaxing trek and heads up onto Great Links Tor on Dartmoor for an eerie solo wild camp in the still mist, but when he hears strange and scary noises whilst camping he ends up having to fend off unwanted visitors.
There's lots crammed into this atmospheric 30min vid! Packing his Cloud Peak 2 / Lowe Alpine 35:45 ProTrail, Trev also gives us quite a detailed look at his kit, how to put up the Naturehike Cloud Peak 2 and how to pack your winter kit back into your backpack after your camp all that and he still manages to squeeze in a Dartmoor Legend too.

Can't honestly count the times your vids have educated ,entertained and also helped with my mental heath ❤ thanks mate don't stop 👍
Rob, that comment has made my day. Thanks very much for your kind words... it is my pleasure making these videos knowing that good folk like yourself are enjoying them.
Brilliant as ever Trev, ponies potentially stomping your tend down and a Dartmoor Legend to boot ! Terrific !
Cheers Ray - yea, a lot crammed into this episode! Thanks for watching!
Another good one Trev 😁!!! Well done you for your bravery in face the elements for the pleasure of entertain us poor miserably ones that can’t get our souls out of the comfort of our house to go and do something fun ourselves. 😘
🤣🤣🤣 it's what I'm here for lol
Wow. I was not expecting that. haha. That was epic. Friendly wildlife is always a treat!
Yea - inquisitive... or hungry... hard to tell lol. Cheers for watching!
Pregnant hourse thing had a craving for midnight tent
Great video Trev. Not able to get out myself as it’s now winter, so really enjoying watching your adventures. Thanks for everything.
No worries, Michael. Really glad youre still enjoying them. Cheers!
I took my 14 year old daughter to where you walked in half term. It was great to see you walk on the same paths we walked on. It was really windy and we ended up camping on the the Logan rock north of kitty Tor on the second night. We had a lovely time together. Thanks for the video
Ah that sounds lovely Ben. We'll done mate. Thanks for watching!
Absolutely brilliant Trev!!!! Proper made me laugh when he brought his mate over with him 🐴🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣 they wanted a party I reckon!
I had the thought of The Beast of Dartmoor in the back of my mind all along, and imagine my absolute shock when I first glimpsed that pony outside your tent flaps!
Haha!!! Yea, was misleading lol. Still shat me up at first though I must admit lol
I would have found it rather comforting and somewhat reassuring to have the company of the nearby ponies - I still suffer from the night terrors when solo camping.
Yes, they were just a little close for comfort... heavy little things if they decided to trample I reckon
Your videos are so relaxing 😌
Great vid. Thank you for giving those of us a chance to be on your journeys with you. 👍
Thanks for joining me.
Nice to see you out and about again Trevor
Nice to be back out, Rod! Cheers for watching!
rewatching classic vids... hope to see a few winter wild camps again this year trev.. all the best
Cheers sir. Got out for the one in the snow, but this current weather isn't drawing me out from my Christmas hibernation yet 🤣🤣
Aww..lovely ponies😊😍
They are placid creatures.
Great vid Trev ,super chilled for a Sunday evening ,stunning vews 👍
Cheers Andrew, glad you enjoyed it.
Such a funny video with the horses turning up. Brilliant!!!!!!!
Haha! Yea, show stealers lol. Cheers for watching!
Another crackin' video Trev. Thanks.
Cheers, Paul!
As always superb. Loved that Tor what a great place to camp, protection on 3 sides it looked like.
Gibson my hiking buddy would have been going loopy all night with those ponies, he’s still sketchy in a tent.
Loved it thanks Trev once again
Great Links is awesome, one of my favourite tors on the moor. The Ponies can be a bit unnverving... but not as big as the bullocks that surrounded me earlier in the year! Thanks for watching!
Top video as always trev
Cheers Pat!
I know a mouse outside your tent can make you think a squirrel is out there. A racoon sounds like a bear after dark. A moose playing and eating 50 meters away sounds like you are about to get trampled. Can't imagine what I would think of a pony trying to eat my tent sounds like.
One thing I love about your videos lately is your calm cool navigation skills. 5 years ago you were like "I'm pretty sure we're on Dartmoor," to now "I'll be camping on that Tor hidden by the mist." And then you just walk off and end up just where you wanted to. Very very good. Cheers!
Yea - you can never quite tell what's going on outside the tent - always plays tricks on the mind, I reckon! Well, i know this area pretty well, now, George. And when the visibilty is good, you can pretty much see your route ahead of you! Cheers for watching, sir and great to hear from you!
You guys are are such fun to watch. Got a couple of great ideas of ya. Keep it up 👍🏻
Cheers Stephan! Thanks for watching!
Camping on my favourite tor .
Whats not to like about that?
Love the vid Trev.👏🏼👍👏🏼👍👏🏼👍
Yea, my favourite too, Chris. Cheers for watching! Glad that you enjoyed it!
He only wanted to give you a hug..! Great video buddy, thanks
Hahah! Yea - friendly old things, really! Didnt half scare the crap out of me initially though, lol. Cheers for watching!
I'm new too your channel Trev and this is the first video I've watched. Wonderful video dude!!! I look forward too binge watching the rest!!! 😊
Thanks very much - loads of great adventures up there - hope you enjoy the rest. Cheers for watching!
that horse just wanted to come inside with his mate and have a coffee with you 🤣
Incy wincy spider choon always tickles me pink 😂 Ah, Dartmoor legend :) 👍🏼
Lol me too! Always something about to go down when that start 🤘🤣
🤣🤣 Yea, that scene felt empty without that 'choon' lol
Great Links looks so different in a summer sunset! My last solo camp was a pitch just round from where you were. Love the peace and quiet up there, ponies or not!
Yea, the moor was amazing in that mist, and not a breath of air either. Was pretty strange.
Exactly the same thoughts from myself. Really enjoy your videos Trev.
Thanks 👍
Great to see you Back up Trev.
I have the cloud peak I do like it.
Great views in the morning
Atb Graham 👍
Yea - was good to get out, too. Thanks for watching, Graham!
Great spot to camp trev,nice and secluded!
Cheers Peter
Beautiful!
Flattery will get you everywhere...... or did you mean the moor?
I think those ponies just wanted to snuggle with ya in your tent. He he! Cool vid.
🤣🤣🤣 Yea, would have been a bit too cozy I reckon
Great vid Trev. The ponies did make me chuckle xxx
Thanks Rachel!
Nice one Trev. My girlfriend said it was a perfect pitch for a tent - until the horses appeared! The Cloud Peak has a few niggles but I think it is a great tent when you want a bit of extra space. Keep up the good work buddy :)
Yea - think I was in their bed space! Did crap myself a bit when they first turned up! I do enjoy the cloud peak - looking forward to trying out in colder and windier conditions soon, though! Cheers for watching!
Brilliant vid: love the ponies.
Thanks Kristen. Glad that you enjoyed it!
Always enjoy a legend! Its like the icing on a cake 👻🐷
Cheers David! Glad you enjoy them!
Awesome vlog, bro. Cheers!
Thanks very much, glad that you enjoyed it
Coffee bags. The best thing ever made for campers! 👍🏻
They certainly are!
Nice vid/vlog Trev. You're right with the title, very eerie night with the mist etc. I'd have wanted to get out and stroke those ponies ha ha. Great pitch you had there
Cheers John! Was eerie up there, felt tha the lack of music helped to share a more authentic experience. Enjoyed this one though. Great to get back out!
Can’t believe how still it is !!
I know, proper spooky!
Brutally beautiful
Who me? Lol! Cheers!
Scared the life out of me when you opened that zip!! oohhh errr! Another great video as always Trev, I've had Carneddau ponys surround my tent and it does give you a fright, cows are the worst though! They sneeze a lot! All the best..
Day
Yea - you never quite know what exctly is going on on the other side of that nylon... it usually sounds worst / closer than it is. I had bullocks surrounding my tent on Rowtor, back along....one was snoring right beside my head! ua-cam.com/video/O5OWY4TlZy4/v-deo.html
@@SummitOrNothing I hope it wasn't Naths bullocks 🤔🤣
Quite some late autumn adventure, I suppose wet cold door is still much better than a peckish nibbling pony ~ 😆😆😆
🤣🤣🤣 yea, I guess you're right lol
Out of all the wildcamping videos out there, yours are my favourite, really entertaining to watch, thanks it's inspired me and given me the kick up the ass I needed to get back out there
Thanks Steven. Really glad that you enjoy them. Hope you get back out before too long!
@@SummitOrNothingThanks for the reply, I went 2 weeks ago, camped on the SW coast path, you past it on one of your walks, just before you get to westward ho!, I live in Bideford 2 miles away
@@stevenvitali7404 oh brilliant, Steve. Glad you made it out!
Ha when you had something outside your tent, I thought a goat, and here it was a pony... LOL Tent eating ponies... Who knew! LOL Always something to make your wildcamps unique...
🤣🤣 yea, there's always something lol
First thing to remember is that it is those horses territory..you are just a visitor.
How lovely to have them inspecting your visit..🤔👍
So true!
Great vid Trevor, lovely part of the moor. I quite like Green Tor down behind G.Links too! Beware of the front of Hunt Tor though, wacky terrain!
Cheers mate. Is a great part. Think we ventured at hunt tor once.
I thought that was the headless horseman for a sec! Lol great video. So I’ve used the cloud peak 2 twice now in still conditions and completely agree with the points you raised regarding the door flapping inwards. I got wet in the lakes from the moisture on the outside of the tent because of this and yes also got the mesh wet. The zips also do snag unless your careful with them also had this on the cloud up 2 apart from that great tents hopefully Naturehike can modify the next version. I’ve got the pump sack for the UL80 and had the same problem, couldn’t get air in it. Dave
Yea - teh cloud peak's faults are a little frustrating, think they may have changed the door now already, to be honest. I thought the cloud up 2 may have had the same zipper issue, but i have never had it snag in the four years I have been using them. The cloud peak... everytime i open the ruddy thing lol Cheers for watching!
"All right Pete?" (Peat) - Ha funny :)
Great location, so peaceful. love the video, thanks for sharing, Warren :)
Thanks for watching, Warren. Glad that you enjoyed it, cheers!
@@SummitOrNothing I didn't get it the first time around.
@@SummitOrNothing the best line of the video I love a good dad joke
Another great video Trev 👍
Regarding the cap on the cloud peak 2, just take one of the hooks off and tie it on then it's always in the correct position.....works great for me 👍
Yea - I will do that, I reckon thanks Stuart! Cheers for the tip, and thanks for watching!
Great video again Trev. Did a night hike to bleak house ruins on the 26th Nov 2021 and stopped at great links tor on the way back to look at the views before going back to the car park near Dartmoor Inn. I will do a day hike next time so I can revisit the area again when I visit. Take care buddy.
Yea- its a great area - still never done any night hiking myself, bet thats enjoyable. Some nights I reckon be better to do it without a torch! Thanks for watching. All the best!
Awesome video mate
Thanks very much. Glad that you enjoyed it!
Liked the video very educational and interesting nice one
So weird seeing camping in these areas that are basically small hills compared to what I am accustomed to
I honestly don't know what I was expecting but it wasn't a horse eating your poles 😂😂 love another Darty Legend! Who knew Phantom Pigs were a thing! 🐖
Anything goes on Dartmoor lol!
My favourite part was when you called the pony a little git 🤣
🤣🤣🤣 spoken with affection of course lol.
Watching you struggle Trev made me laugh and it's why I recommended the Flexitail Tiny Pump X in the first place! You can stick it on, inflate your mat whilst you do something else. For an extra 80g, I know what I'd rather take over a pump sack! Great vid!
🤣🤣 yea, think ill dig it out for next time
Ha ha blooming ponies they definitely would of had a bit of your tent ⛺ 😄 looked a awesome eerie night especially after reading spooky stories 😀 nice one Trev 👍 atb daz
Cheers Daz - was a nice camp to be fair, albeit a little tense during the times spennt fending off wild animals lol! Thanks for watching!
Geddo Trev . Another great vid . Just seen me though my half hour break at the r d and e 😁👍
Nice one! Keep up the good work, mate! Thanks for watching!
Kat and I just watching along now, love this part of Dartmoor, walked it for my birthday last June and we are keen to camp it too 😀 🏕 loved the ice works mounds 🧊
Hope there was no ill effects from the water, wise to move up and search on if it was a little pong wiffy 👃 💧 🚰
Love the Linx trig, being on teh Tor, absolutely....Great! 🏆
Love the multi angkes shots too, really nicely done ✔ 👏
Nice and calm, eerily so! 👻 👽 😱
Nice setup and kit talk, always appreciated, and the inflation of your mat...Well the less said lol, we do love the looks of this tent, good deep bathtub, not pony proof tho, interesting to here the snaglist tho 🐎 🐴 🛀 ⛺ ❤
Love Taylors coffee too Trev, what flavour was that?
Darty legend 🙌 👻 👨⚖️ 🐗 ❤
Well done getti g all the kit away, need to try it blindfolded for your camping black belt! 🥷
The rain cover on the LA is absolutely genius 🙌
Thanks for taking us along Trev, have a great week, Ceri and Kat ☕ ❤ 👍 🗺🧭
Cheers guys. Glad you enjoyed this one, and thanks for watching and commenting!
Those horses just chilling out there in the dark and cold 😂
🤣🤣🤣
@@SummitOrNothing You may have taken their normal sleeping area.
Hi, I'm a new subscriber from the USA love your videos😁
Thanks Jennifer. Glad that you enjoy them!
Very cool content. I’m from the US and I find the UK fascinating.
Thanks Kimmi. There's plenty more where this came from.
Making your own Dartmoor Legends !!!!!🤣
🤣🤣 sounds like it doesn't it... but not this time
@@SummitOrNothing same thing has happened to me with sheep in Wales, woken up by gnawing on my guy ropes, scares the living daylights out of you. Looked a great spot to camp amongst those rocks.
Hi Trev, great film again I have yet to venture to Dartmoor as I'm closer to the peak district. I use the same Naturehike tent all year round and tend to pack the tent and poles separately as you can easily squash the tent into a 10ltr stuff sack. Really like your ghostly tales.
Great advice, Paul. Shall probably start doing the same at some point, myself. Thanks for watching
Great video. I thought you were going to get mugged and then the pony appeared 🤣 Very interesting and entertaining mate 😊👍🌲🏕️
😂😂😂 Cheers for watching, glad that you enjoyed it!
How do. Not checked in for a while. Life took over! Good to see you...and using tent similar to the one I won off you a while back. I hope you and yours are all doing well. 😁
Nice to hear from you. All good here, cheers. Hope you are too! Thanks for watching!
Jesús, the bravery to see what’s making that noise 😂
Yea, you never know quite what to expect!
Recently I've been tweaking my packing.
1 - Sleeping bag and mat ALWAYS first thing in, dead bottom of the pack
2 - night clothes and puffy, especially if I'm not really planning on long stops before camp time
3 - next is food and cookset, again, especially if I'm not planning on making a long lunch stop
4 - tent; if overnight, then a single dry bag, but if two or more nights, inner and fly go into different drybags (pegs go in pack lid; poles go in pack side mesh pocket)
5 - last thing to go in is the shell, if I'm not wearing it, so I can grab it quickly if heavens open.
this way I have the essential (shelter) right there when I need it
Sounds like a great routine for packing, Ignacio! Thanks for sharing!
Evening mate, I've the same tent an yes your right about it lol. But don't take it out with winds over 50 mph... Great video an some funny bits. 🇬🇧🔥👍💜
Haha... I think the winds got up to gusts if 50moh last year when I first went out in it. Just about made it out of there lol. Cheers for watching!
@@SummitOrNothing ya I remember that camp lol...
Your videos are great
Thanks very much - glad that you enjoy them!
I have had similar incidents with both the ponies and cattle. I reckon that spot is where they usually sleep...
I once had a bit of a crazy bull mooing away right outside my tent. In the end I grabbed a bit of dry gorse and lit a fire. It was a proper man triumph over animal moment.
Yea, when I was out in the one tigris in the early summer, had bullucks sleeping right next to me all night. Snoring their bloody heads off lol
@@SummitOrNothing Gold! 🤣
15:25 the look on your face is golden
🤣🤣🤣
Ghost pony...hahahaha...nice...
🤣🤣
The door flopping in and wetting you is the same on the Hilleberg soulo it p155es me off a lot lol
Seems a shit design... glad I didn't pay over the odds for it then 🤣😜
@@SummitOrNothing 🤣🤣🤣
Bloody brilliant mate! 😂 the ponies cracked me up. I’d have about shit myself if something started chewing my tent.
Me and the mrs love your videos, always on the lookout for the next one. Inspirational and motivational, whilst informative and funny as fuck. Keep it up mate! 😁
Ah, thanks Nick. Glad that you both enjoy our videos. Thanks ever so much for watching! Cheers!
I can’t get over the different landscape from here in Western Australia. We have the 1000km Bibbulmun Track where we might see 3 people for 2 weeks all in forest.
Well, your country takes 4 and a half hours to fly across, ours takes 4 and half hours to drive across 🤣.
This lad coulda been a contender .... a man for all seasons.
🤔
Just found your videos ... Awesome country hello from East Kootenays British Columbia Canada
Hi Sarah! Glad you found us - hope you enjoy our content!
Nice video! I roll the pillow in with my mat, it saves 2 grams of the bag 😂
Every little helps Alan
Interesting video. Atmospheric spot, a bit reminiscent of a film set from the Hound of the Baskervilles.
Yea, you can bet the weather was like this when conan Doyle visited the moors
Hi Trev Love it 🐴😃👍🏻 Jc.
Cheers John!
great vid again Trev , Ponies much preferable than hungry foxes , they can be a bugger!
Yea I can imagine.... not had much of an encounter with them yet!
On the cloud peak two I removed one of those hooks and tied the roof on one point so its always in the right place and attached so if its windy it wont blow off
Yea makes sence. I was completely supposed to that last year too lol
Awh! it wanted to come in for a warm! :D
🤣🤣 Yea... if I had a bigger tent I may have considered it lol
Hey Trev, brilliant video as always! Waiting for the first snow here in Berlin.
You can actually use your breath to inflate the Pump Sack. If you leave about 30-40cm between your mouth and the bag, than you will create a air stream with you breath that blows the air around into the sack, therefore you wont get the condensation from your breath in but more the air sorrounding you.
Hope my explanation was understandable, english is not my native language.😅
Great Video with the co star pony!
Better English than many English! Thanks so much for your tip, cheers!
Better English than many English! Thanks so much for your tip, cheers!
Trev! I tried to fill up from that exact stream the night after a camp on Great Links last month, I too decided against drinking it… thought it smelt quite eggy 😂
Yea, it proper stank. Wise to move on, I reckon!
That would of totally freaked me out !
Yea.... startled me for sure!
Steady vid mate your becoming like a Sunday dinner.juat what you want on a Sunday.haha
Brilliant! glad that you are enjoying them! Cheers for watching!
Nice overnight on Dartmoor, So the ponies came by to see who was there new neighbor, be glad look at this video you will be glad for ponies. /// Florida Everglades Trail Camera Pickup / got different guesses here.
Thanks for watching, Ted!
Nice video Trev. Thanks for posting. Can you attach secondary guys below the fixed guying points, in a similar way the Hilleberg Allak is double guyed?
Urm.... you probably can, but without getting the tent out and having a look I couldnt tell you for certain. Could always attach them to the exposed poles though I reckon
Thanks
Ah, thanks very much guys!!
I like this video :-)
Thanks Gary!
What's funnier than you being stopped in your tracks by the ponies was the fact that as soon as you got back into the tent your next comment was about the heat retention of the inner mesh of the tent. I think I'd be freaking out for a few minutes first... 😂😂
Hahah! Yea - professional til the end lol
@@SummitOrNothing 😂
Horses probably thinking " horrible man " don't blame em!
Thank you very much(!) 🤣
I think you camped on that horses favourite grass 🤣
good video im currently homeless and trying to find stuff I could use to live in so I can work to save for a proper place defo going to binge watch your videos tonight
Enjoyed the video ponies were fun Wouldn't mind a comparison of the peter storm down and the digby and any more down jackets you and Naths got . Atb Nigel
I was only thinking that myself earlier, Nigel. For a cheap jacket, I was very pleased with the Digby.
Great stuff Trev! Wonder if there'll ever be a Dartmoor legend of The Pony Trampled Camper? 👍😁
🤣🤣🤣 Not just yet, Des lol
@@SummitOrNothing ...the only trace left was a short length of dayglo guy rope dangling from its grinning maw! 👍😨
Nice one trev
Can't beat a thermarest.
If my large xtherm ever shit the bed I would have to get another 👍
I did hear the flex tail pump doesn't fit the new thermarest valve so I'll be interested to see if you can get it to work.
Fair play to you, those pony's would of done my head in.
I'm struggling to find time to get out at the moment so love vids like this.
Cheese ✌
There's about seventy fittings with the flexitail, hopefully one fits, but I shall have to have a look first, I reckon. Life does seem to get hectic, these days, so I know what you mean not getting out. I have been itching to get out gaain! Glad I managed to steal a night! Cheers for watching, Dean!
@@SummitOrNothing I got both types of thermarest valves & and the flextail works fine on both the old & new valves .
