After I have done Dartmoor next week I want to hunt out some more Brecon Beacon locations. Quite fancy that small lake below Corn Du (from Brecon) if you're up for that?
Hi Hedley, A great first wild camp you are privileged to have camped in such a wonderful place and to do so in such fine company!! I do chuckle seeing your shiny new mess tins (is that an oxymoron?) you need to get them messy quickly!! It does remind me to rescue mine next time I'm in the UK. Some great tips for getting started, although early summer it seemed quite a cold night. I see you have come across Patrick Dickinson's channel. I have watched all of his videos and can almost navigate The Peak District even though I've never been. His investigation of the culverts in Sheffield are amazing. But of course wild camping is old hat, now wild swimming ...... Very enjoyable to watch have a great weekend
Great to hear from you David! Yes this was a cold night despite being mid June, the elevation probably knocks another 3 or 4 degrees off too. Warren was great, really guided me and made it the best experience possible. We are already talking about our next two adventures! I will be wild camping with my son on Dartmoor next week, I may turn that into a video too. All the best - Hedley
Hahaha, terrible entertainment, who'd do that eh! Yes, really enjoyed this one, Dartmoor wild camping this weekend with my son, can't wait. I have a little hike planned with @linleys coming up too in Wiltshire, filled with historical treats. I want to see whether he fancies a wild camp right up on Fan-y-Big sometime too, the views are amazing.
A very useful guide for one’s first wild camp. Something I’m never going to do! So, you had a “mixed” night. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a video about wild camping where a “great” night is mentioned? Excellent musical selection at the end there. Right up my street!
What a great place to do your first wild camp. Over time you will find whats important and what can be left at home to lighten that load. On up to the next one.........
Great video Hedley! (Sorry I'm a bit late to the party) That looked like a spectacular location, and you shot it beautifully - both from the ground and from the air. The aerial footage at the end was full of drama - very cinematic! Lots of good camping tips there, and great to see Warren's custard get a look in!
Thank you so much Tweedy, I thoroughly enjoyed this and am already packed for the next one (Dartmoor, this weekend); more to come with Warren too. His custard is the stuff of legends.
Great Location Hedley - Might have to take a look at Table Mountain, I broke my Wild Camping duck last year on Dartmoor - Another good area to take a look at.
Pat Dickinson is a great character and is well known in the Sheffield area. I met him recently at a Beer Festival and his stories are legendary. His channel is well worth catching.
At the moment I am using a 55 cm wide Forclaz folding foam pad, but for winter I will probably upgrade to a Flextail Zero R05 though that will likely be too wide for the tapered ends, and so sit in the middle of the inner. Luckily the inner is long.
Great video Hedley, thank you for a very enjoyable wild camp. Good partnership in planning and doing the trip. Where next then? :) Cheers, Warren

Epic stuff. Well done!
Thank you Paul

Cherry popped (so to speak). Well done. Before we know it, you’ll be cooking up a Moussaka in a ditch (o;

I had you in mind for the music! I stole this from "Streets of Rage" on the Megadrive!
@@hedleythorne I loved it! So dated, or is it better to say, “retro”?!
@WC21UKProductionsLtd I'm dated and retro, so for me it's bang up to date haha
Linley looks happy chappy
He radiates happiness and brings such positive energy to the trip. More so after a pint I find.
What a great place to do your first wild camp. Over time you will find whats important and what can be left at home to lighten that load. On up to the next one.........
Thank you, next one is next week in Dartmoor, I can't wait! This was a real experience for me and I loved it. Different beast in winter though.
Much less painful getting cold and wet with a spectacular view-Well done Hedley 👍👍Great watch
Hey thank you so much James, this was a real experience for me, you can tell that I loved it. On a hillfort too...
@@hedleythorne B&B For me I stopped camping 28 years ago-I will leave it up to you *Young Ones* 🤣🤣
@@jameswalksinhistory3848 Love the "young" label; not necessarily true but I'll take that!
Well done Hedley and Warren. A highly enjoyable vid.
Thank you so much, I loved it, can't wait to do this again. Watch out for Warren's version of this trip in a few weeks time on UA-cam.
hi again Hedley , i used to love going camping , great video as always , 😊
Thank you so much. Such good fun.
Great video Hedley! (Sorry I'm a bit late to the party)

Wow!! Fantastic views. Great job on the vvideo. Thanks for sharing. subd & 👍30
Thank you
Really cool and you had the best company you could ask for 😁👍🏻
Ohh yes! More Linleys adventures already planned!
Great video, thanks!
Thank you so much! Appreciated
Great Location Hedley - Might have to take a look at Table Mountain, I broke my Wild Camping duck last year on Dartmoor - Another good area to take a look at.
Thanks, I recommend Table Mountain. Incidentally I am wild camping on Dartmoor this week!
Great video Hedley 😊
Thank you so much! I absolutely loved my first wild camping experience! More this weekend I think.

There is a guy near us called Pat Dickinson who does a lot of these. He has a You Tube channel which is very entertaining. Great video mate
Thank you. Funnily enough I followed him only yesterday!
@@hedleythorne Yes, he is quite a character. Love his Railway Tunnel videos as well. Some of his photography inside them tunnels is awesome
@@mickeytheviewmooLinleys360 is worth following too as he does railway stuff as well as wild camps.
Pat Dickinson is a great character and is well known in the Sheffield area. I met him recently at a Beer Festival and his stories are legendary. His channel is well worth catching.
@@LinleysI should add that Warren (Linleys 360) recommended his channel to me.
What width sleep pad do you use in the abisko?
At the moment I am using a 55 cm wide Forclaz folding foam pad, but for winter I will probably upgrade to a Flextail Zero R05 though that will likely be too wide for the tapered ends, and so sit in the middle of the inner. Luckily the inner is long.
Wild poo?
Well I didn't find any actual bathrooms around...
@@hedleythorne Today had the pleasure of the facilities on a GWR train from Temple Meads. Not been on a train for years. Things have moved on.
@@JimChampion sounds intriguing! Still better than up that mountain. Still, #PooWithAView
