- I ventured first up some hills but due to wind had to return to the forest for my tarp and bivy, I had a wonder up some new tracks and just found a spot.

Red sky at night, shepherd's cottage on fire. Red sky in the morning, Red watch are still looking for it.
What amazing skies. I do enjoy your channel. Thanks for sharing.
Hi and thanks for watching
Glad you enjoy
Cheers
Great spot mate, that sky looked amazing. Quite windy even in that spot. Up a height would have been wild.
Hi Phil, yes the tops were just too windy, so the forest it was, just think how close they all are ! It’s easy to find a spot, I enjoyed it although it’s a long time in a bivy bag, that’s why I try for a dry camp, so I can sit out,
Cheers Adrian
What can we say??? do envy you, we are stuck working at the moment and would have loved to get out in that storm. There will be others...lol. Superb dusk sky and not too bad a dawn. Stay well, stay safe, and as always thank you for sharing your time out. Helen with Kat and Terri with Robyn.
Hi and thanks for watching, I really enjoyed this one as I abstained the last few weeks due to not fancying the weather !!!
Cheers Adrian
Fantastic Adrian good to see the British army bivvy out🎄👍
Hi and thanks for watching, yes a good camp and no condensation, it is the best bivy by far
Cheers
@@northumberlandmountainhopper most definitely I've got the same bivvy bag but in the older DPM camo it's never let me down 👍
Another great video. Looking forward to the next one !
Hi and thanks for watching, it was nice being tucked up in the wind
Cheers
Looks like a good time out Adrian the sky looked amazing ye I definitely know that area mate it will be good for camping in 10 years time 😊 can't beat a tarp and bivvi I did a canvas hot tent the other week it was OK but I do prefer my tarp-style camping catch up soon mate atvb Jimmy 😎😎👍👍
Hi Jimmy thanks for watching, must work on knots and configurations for using the tarp in bad wind ,
Cheers Adrian
Spot on that Adrian 👍, the wind has been horrendous lately, looked like you found a cracking little spot amongst them young trees, great set up, ideal nice and sheltered from the wind, that sky looked brilliant, great colours👌shame the tarp come down, at least you had the army bivvy for protection, great watch mate, atb Mick 👍
Hi mick and thanks for watching
It was a great camp glad you enjoyed it
Cheers Adrian
Nice one mate , another cracking camp spot , always great viewing,thanks for sharing ,atb Deka👍🏻
Hi Deka yes it was a great chilled bivy
Cheers Adrian
What an adventure to battle against that wind, but rewarded beautifully with that sky.
Shame you missed the Bothy night , it was great fun, but fully understand. Hopefully catch up soon. 👍
Hi Shaun, yes a shame but hopefully another invite another time, yes it was hard with the wind but I really enjoyed it, got to master tarp set ups in the wind.
Thought we were going to be having a Scotland camp ?
Catch up soon
Cheers Adrian
Nice one Adrian , beautiful sky but those winds would have been a whole lot worse on a summit. Cracking pitch albeit a bit wild and a least you didn’t lose the tarp totally lol atb Dave
Hi Dave, yes I did go up Simonside and had to come down, the wind would have been mad on a hill,
Must come up with a tarp solution for bad wind
Cheers Adrian
Lovely video as always. Amazing sky!
Hi and thanks for watching, it was a great chilled and dry camp
Cheers
That's really good that one. Atb. Mark
Hi and thanks for watching, it was great out in the storm being low and safe
Cheers
Already subscribed. Great vid this one.
Hi and thanks for watching
Glad you enjoyed it
Cheers
Cracking video Mate. Just one thing that I wouldn't do is have the tarps up so high in the winds . I usually have a low set up , just high enough to crawl into and have two opposing sides fastened directly to the ground , doing away with the guy lines. This will give you a far better shelter and less damage to the tarps and any other equipment. I hope this works for you as it does for me. ATVB from Big Andy.
Hi and thanks for watching, sounds like a plan, if you look at my previous vids you will see I used a small magic carpet for head covering only, with just guys for stability of the poles and is was far more wind resistant, I will try a low A frame with a 2x2 on one of the next couple of trips,
Cheers Adrian
Lush red skies Adrian, I saw them but unfortunately I was stuck in the house. I hope to get out over the Christmas break 🤞🏼
Hi Dave, it was nice to see the sky and then sit for a bit before being stuck in the bivy
Cheers Adrian
Wow!!! That sky was on fire! ❤ Nice little spot that you chose there Ade. Love a bit if bad weather when you're tucked up in the bivy, beats a tent hands down every time. Hope you and the family have a great Christmas mate 👍 👌👊
Hi Gez, happy Christmas to you too,
Yes it was a magic bivy,
Must come up with a tarp solution for the wind
Cheers Adrian
@northumberlandmountainhopper a recommendation is to use rocks and 9inch Easten pegs together to both peg and weigh it down. Should help prevent you from having to take the tarp down half way through your sleep. Although it's not completely fool proof.
@@boyzinthewood1hi Gez I suppose you can hammer them eastern ones in ? I use big MSR ground Hoggs which are great in soft ground but I can’t hammer them in !!!
Cheers
@northumberlandmountainhopper there's other pegs like screw pegs that anchor into the ground better, you can even drill them in but then you dont want to be carrying a drill on camps too 😁 you can screw them in by hand but obviously not on a stone floor.
Superb
Hi and thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed the camp
Cheers
them skies last night where amazing.them wind must have got up later on as i was in walk forest until about 2 oclock & it was ok.
Hi and thanks for watching, the wind came on about 2.30 it was forcast and they certainly got it right, I had to come off Simonside,
Cheers

I had a look at them skies, unfortunately from work😅
Hi mark, thanks for watching; you have to earn the pennies to have the fun, it was a windy but great night
Cheers Adrian
Great to get out. But when you say tarps are not for the wind, it comes down to the pitch. The link below has plenty of options for wind. Let me know your favourite.

Hi and thanks for watching, I often use the bad weather solo pitch, I watch the papa hiker great lover of the tarp, this time the ground and space was uneven and tight so I did what I could ! Also I prefer a good view so like the tarp high if I can.
Cheers and thanks for the link
