3 Days Solo Hiking and Wildcamping across Dartmoor: The Abbots Way
Вставка
- Опубліковано 31 гру 2022
- A few months ago I decided to hike the Abbots Way across Dartmoor. This route is 22 miles, and passes various tors, towns, stone crosses, and with a little detour, you can visit some magnificent stone rows. I decided to yoyo the route, hiking Buckfast Abbey to Tavistock and back again, wildcamping along the way, totalling 44 miles (although if you watch can see why this may have been less). The story of the route is a fascinating one, so please click the link below to read about it in more detail if you're also interested in tales like this.

I'm a new subscriber to your channel, it came up as a suggestion on my feed, I'm glad it did. As a Devonian that spent so much time on the moors, I love these videos. As a latecomer to your channel I now have the luxury and privilege of watching all of your back catalogue of videos. Thanks for all your uploads.
Adding this to 2023s hit list, looks like a quality weekender!
And speaking of quality, this is my first experience of the muddy-youtube, and instantly up there in the top 5!
Great vid Becca🤘 We all get spooked by unfamiliar things from time to time - like the time a huge scary animal was growling right outside my tent. It was a hedgehog 🤣
Haha that's hillarious, we've all been there 🤣
Respect🙌🙌 None of us can live a full life wrapped in cotton wool. Risk taking & appreciating the natural world is key to a good life.
Your voice is so soothing 😊
hi i did the abbots way walk in 1965 when i was 13 your video bought everything back
Awww it's a gorgeous walk x
Please post more videos being you have more time because we ❤️ you here in the US
What a delightful adventure! Thank you for letting us join you. Your enthusiasm is just gorgeous - so uplifting to watch.

"Get on Girl" brilliant 👏
Great vid and deffo have been spooked by overnight camps due to a combination of imagination and unfamiliar nature sounds ...Thanks Muddy!
Yeah, it doesn't take much huh?! ❤️
Hiya Beca fab hike! really enjoyed it ...oooohh I'v had those macaroons yum yum😋 with regards to the bottom of your tent maybe it needs reproofing with fab seal,look forward to watching more. ATB Ana
Fantastic video, love the adventure and nature shots. Keep up the great hikes!
You are so inspirational!
Love watching your videos ! Please keep it up 💐
Great video Becka. Really enjoyable and inspiring.
First time watcher here and thoroughly enjoyed the video. Looking forward to more of your adventures.
The jelly is where a heron or something ate a frog. It's the slime that would have gone round the frogspawn in a better world. It was a total mystery for a long, long time.
Nice video, I like your style.
Thanks for taking us along for this hike.!!
Awesome hike with wonderful scenery💞💞
Just found your channel good on you girl never worth staying in a job you hate I live in the middle of exmoor so love exploring great vid enjoyed it 😊👌
Every drinking Scotsman knows of Buckfast Abbey the home of the Buckie! There's even tours. Foot care in very important ask any infantry squaddie. That water looks better than some I've used, always boil. Happy trails.
Happy New Year! Thanks for a great video and keep up the great adventures and bagging those Tors!
Happy new year lovely!! Have an epic one 🥰

What an amazing vid to watch on this winters night 😀👍 them moors don't look to bad we have to trounce through them just to get to the car in the morning for work keep up the good work MB buzzin from sunny Lancashire 😀👍❤
Oh mate, I didnt film much of the boggyness because it was hetic af!!
Hello 👋, I just found your channel, I love it, I'm going to look for more 😊, I used to love Dartmoor & spent many hours up there, there's so much to see & find out about. Make the most of what you have while you still have it. I think one of my favourite 's on the Moor is the corbells but there's so much more to see.
Your great knowledge and wild camping are very encouraging for me to get out camping and hiking myself.💖🙏
Happy New Year 🙂
Good video ‼
Loved the back story to the ✝
Looking forward to the next one !!
🤩😍😘
Ah thanks buddy, happy new year x
You created absolutely gorgeous content here. This place is magnificent! Watching this just makes me feel good!
Awww thanks lovely. Happy New year 🎉
HNY 🎉 fantastic video so uplifting! Keep up the great work in 2023 😁👍🏻
Awww thanks buddy, happy new year x
For blisters, you need zinc oxide tape. It's antibacterial, sticks really well and doesn't stretch so it protects any hot spots or existing blisters.
Be careful not to restrict the movement of any joints or you'll get issues.
Excellent video. 👍 Happy New Year!
Happy new year! 🎉🎉
What a great watch you smashed it like a legend
Ah cheers freddy!
I've just stumbled across your Channel. Easy to watch and easy on the eye. Lovely smile!
Awww thanks lovely
Great video, love Dartmoor!
Cheers lovely 🎉
Happy new year Becka! Being near people makes me nervous, love how wild dartmoor feels though, you can proper get away from folk. Congrats for getting out of the job! Me too, never felt better 😁
Ahhh thanks lovely!!! X
Found myself smiling throughout this vid. Even laughed out loud a couple of times. Well done.....
Awww thank you x
Great video, love your enthusiasm 😀 👍

Happy new year dude 🤙
Great content always enjoy your posts very articulate informative and a big bag of upbeat bubbliness:) keep on booping the tors and good luck with the new job
Boop! Hehehe thanks lovely , happy new year
First time I've seen you on UA-cam, what a great vlog made me smile to see someone out in the fresh air enjoying the scenery, I wish I could get out there myself thank you ill look forward to watching some more 😊
Awwww thanks mate x
Keep it up, it’s great to watch you doing your stuff and seeing how happy it makes you. ⛺️🔥🤣
Thanks buddy 🤙
Great looking hike Becca. Really enjoyed the video.
Cheers buddy 🤙
Great vid mate. Keep em coming. Really inspirational. Defo not the only one concerned about solo camping. Stunning views. HNY 😊
Aww cheers buddy, happy new year 🎉
Great Video, Appreciate the historical context. It really added to the story. Thanks. 👍
Awww cheers buddy 🤙
That was great - your enthusiasm is totally epic! I've not managed to get out anywhere near enough recently but watching stuff like this really inspires me. I love that not much phases you, the rain, the bogs, the wet tent, the knackered food and even the unease of the last night was really from other folks insecurities. And the joy of having a pastie and a bottle of Luscombe at the end was palpable! Looking forward to the next one, all the very best, Andy
Awww thanks buddy! I guess I'm so used to little mishaps, it's just part of who I am now 😂 you appreciate the good things even more when stuff goes wrong anyway, right?! 😂 Happy new year lovely x
@@muddy_bootlaces Absolutely haha! Happy new year mate x
First one I've watched Becca , enjoyed it so I'll be watching some more previous vlogs and also look forward to the new ones , atb Wullie
Lovely new channel. Looking forward to more videos. I used to video journal my pilgrimages to holy wells in Cornwall a few years back, (had a couple of channels, can't remember the passwords now). Was always concerned about safety when camping, but, just makes you more stealthier. Never told anyone where I was going, only where I had been. Stay safe, stay beautiful. Wished I'd had the confidence to speak to the camera like you do.
Great vid to start 23 Becka enjoyed the bits of history alot nice to gain knowledge of place or places you visit you seem happy and content doing your solo camps I'm building up to do my first wildcamp being disabled it's great inspiration watching others enjoy just being out in nature enjoying natural pleasures and the tranquility of solitude and deep thoughts
Awwww thanks lovely, glad you enjoyed it! And happy be year!! 🤙
Happy new year 🎉, great to see another video. I love the abbots way it’s very interesting and the information you gave at the start was great. The white jelly is called star jelly I believe it is regurgitated frog spawn. Folklore and what I always thought it was from meteor showers. On my daily walks I always see it on the moors.
Keep up the great work and I look forward to see more.
From Dartmoor 👍🏻🏴
Ooooohhhh thanks for the info, love that idea about the meteorites!! Although the frog spawn sounds more likely lol. Thanks so much 🤙
Yep totally agree with everyone, your wee bubbly personality is infectious, been a fan since Instagram started new we've got you on here is even better .. loved this ..Happy new year and thanks 😊
Oh you sweetheart, thank you x
had a notification of this video. made a note of the stone rows and a few tors. makes me want to go back to Dartmoor again. Teignhead farm is a nice place to visit where you can park at the visitor centre and pay for multi days in the visitors centre. And walk from there. I have wildcamped there . a beautiful brook for water. I tend to use a paid campsite and hike when I can in Dartmoor to bag some tors. as soon as my ankle heals completely hopefully by March I will hike again in Dartmoor. take care and thank you so much for a great video.
Excellent work young lady, enjoyed this 👍🏻
Thank you x
Lovely walk, thanks for sharing, Beca 🍂
It looks like Dartmoor seriously needs more basic, natural, slab bridges.
Nice one, subbed, thought I had already as I have watched several of your videos but obviously didn't sub before due to being an old git I guess .
Always admire you and anyone else that does these solo adventures , I walk and cycle alone but have never done an overnighter alone ...... yet.
You always bring positive vibes to your videos , love it
Awww thanks lovely 🤙 you'll get the bug once you start mate, it's addictive! I hope you give it a go buddy 🎉🎉
Happy new year to you Great video .
Awww happy new year lovely 🎉
Great story and well done on the video
BEAUTIFUL. Keep it up
Cheers buddy
Beca you are such a beautiful soul, the world is a better place because of you 😊 happy new year 😊 may you be blessed with the very best that life has to offer 🙏🙏 God bless you mate👍 regards Colin 😊😊
Oh you sweetheart thank you x

Awww thank you John x
I really loved this video,have a happy new year debs xx 🥳........
Happy new year xx
Thank you, Becca, l really enjoy this type of content.
Personal thoughts and feelings, lows as well as highs, historical story time, meal and snack information . . .
(l eat tortillas on trail too - peanut butter and banana with one portion of peanut butter left in the plastic pot for cold soak porridge the next day, then the plastic pot kept for couscous and cupasoup, etc. etc.)
What an intro.. that was deeeep mate.
Still watching but wanted to drop a comment after seeing the intro voice over scenes.
Awww thanks buddy, yeah there's a proper intense story behind that route!!
You are a rare maid Becca Bootlace, ged'on girl 😄 . Love your vids. Happy New year and may 2023 bring you many more tors
Awww thanks lovely, happy new year!
