Christmas Camp 2022 &
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 вер 2024
- On Saturday 10th December 2022, I went for a very cold & snowy (but brilliant) pre-Christmas wild camp with my buddies Marc & Pat, up West Mill Tor, Dartmoor, UK.
The next day I attended the "Save Dartmoor" rally, organised by my friend's Becca (@muddybootlaces908) and Mark (@hayhurste-mail4583 ) in protest of a wealthy land owner's attempt to make wild camping on Dartmoor, the ONLY place in England where it is still permitted, illegal. sadly, if this man achieves his goal (so he can turn his 4000 acres into a pheasant and grouse shoot, like he's done with his Scottish estates), it's feared that other land owners will follow suit and also ban not only wild Campers, but also hikers, bird watchers, nature/night photographers etc.. and anyone else who uses the moor for their hobbies and recreational pursuits, INCLUDING thousands of kids taking part in the 10 Tors challenge and the Duke of Edinburgh award every year... 2 events that are SO important to kids' development, as they not only to teach them how to love and respect the outdoors, but also teach them how to work as a team and interact with others going forward in their lives.
This CANNOT and SHOULD NOT be happening, just so one man can make even more money.
Shame on you, Alexander Darwall.
I live in Norway, where we have the Right to Roam law. I support your fight to keep Dartmoor free and available for everyone!
Oh wow! Thanks mate, that means a lot! Been subbed to you for years! :) Norway looks AMAZING😍🏞 🇳🇴
Great video, it’s been so snowy and icy last week here on Dartmoor. Have a good Christmas 🎄
I wish I could have joined. I’m British but I currently live in Turkey where wild camping - both tents and vehicles is legal and almost encouraged. Everybody camps here. We have freedom to roam pretty much anywhere. Having tasted this level of freedom it breaks my heart that we don’t have this same privilege in the U.K.
Great to have met you.

Really enjoyed the video bro!!🤟
Thanks mate :)
Awesome video, looked blooming freezing but a great camp. Great coverage of the protest too. I hope the landowner gets to see the videos of the protest and gives his head a wobble and reconsiders. How can you own land like that and not be into people enjoying it.
Cracking vid, I was gutted to miss the protest. We had black ice at the end of our road and I didn't want to risk smashing up the car.
One of my favourite tors Kings Tor with plenty of great spots to pitch.
The snow scenes looked amazing and I bet you got some "AWESOME" picks 👍
Thanks for sharing

Really nice video - Dartmoor looked beautiful in the freezing conditions. Let's hope the protests prove successful. Hope you have a great 2023. All the best mate.
Thanks bud, really enjoyed this one! Can't wait for spring time now and better weather, don't fancy being up the moor in these wetter and windier winter moths ahead! Hopefully be able to get down to my permission woods again soon! Itching for a hammock camp! Hope you and Finn had a wicked Christmas :)
Great video Stu, it looked absolutely freezing 🥶
Cheers meht, it was!! 🥶🤣 had a great one though! You'll have to join us next year bud!
Oh my god that looked SO COLD!!!!! Awesome to see so many turn up for the protest tho #thestarsareours
Haha yeah it was freezing! Loved it though! And turnout was AMAZING, SO proud of everyone involved! ☺️🙌❤️🥾
Great episode mate and I laughed so much with my snoring lol I sounded like a bullfrog in the distance 😄
Thanks mate, was a great camp, I thought there was a bull outside my tent at first 🤣
Excellent video, Dartmoor looks stunning in the snow. I live miles away but do hope to camp there one of the days providing that freedom to camp isn't lost. Nice one 🙂👍
Thankyou bud :) hoping to get out for another camp as soon as I can (due to move house next month, so might be a few weeks yet!), there'll be plenty more vids next year if you wanna stick around and get some inspiration for places to camp :) ill still be camping, whatever the outcome 😉
hi just found your channel do enjoy your vids
Ahh thanks a lot bud :) and thanks for watching!
Awesome video new sub here
Thankyou guys :)
Great vid, think I kept out of your way while you were filming 😂
Were you at the protest? :)
Yep, stood next to you it seems. Camo trousers, dark grey hoodie :)
Ahh no way! Haha :) great turn out wasn't it?! Did you go on the hike too?
Yep great turn out, and did the hike. Spotted myself on your vid on top of the Tor. My first Tor bagged 👍
Ahh that was YOU! that becca is taking to? :)
Awesome video, Stu! Looked proper baltic that. Great turnout on the protest too, fingers crossed money doesn't talk louder, as we see too often as of late in this country... the chaps a big Tory doner too by all accounts so its probably already rigged to go his way. Find out in the new year. Anyway, enjoy your Christmas, and happy new year! Catch you all soon.
Ah thanks Trev :) back out on the 27th with Pat and Rory, if you're about you're more than welcome to join? Yeah I figured he'd be linked to those scumbags, money talks, especially in those circles... let's hope the judge isn't corrupt aswell :( not that its gonna stop us in any way haha
Merry Christmas to you and yours too bud ☺️🎄🎅🎁🏕
Great video. Was an awesome experience from the beginning to the end that camp! 👍
