It was a 3 hour climb up and nearly 4 hour descent with my friend Neil and we had a wonderful night in the Hilleberg Soulo and Nortent Vern 1, despite some loud and interesting sexual noises from across the lake...! The descent was spectacular and so I have included an extended section of this towards the end.

Of course they didn't behave but that's life I guess! This was James' first wild camp though he has camped with Explorers many times. Matthew is becoming a wild camping veteran having been out with me several times! Great Mis Tor stands 538 metres above sea level in the Merrivale area of Dartmoor and is great for a starter camp, offering a high up and remote place. Beware of the weather, particularly the fog and wind.

This, to me, is the most spectacular location for a wild camp in South Wales, with a huge 1,500ft drop to the valley below. On this trip I took my son and my nephew for his first wild camp! I used the Hilleberg Soulo, and we had the Fjallraven Abisko Lite 1. But for Ed I packed the wrong tent! Instead of a nice Jack Wolfskin Gossamer 2 I packed a 19 year old Vango!
We had a sunset, a sunrise and a lovely trip to watch sunset from the summit. A beautiful part of Wales that I recommend to anyone. Please do leave a comment or like and subscribe, it means a lot to me.

Join me for a solo wild camping adventure on King’s Tor in the heart of Dartmoor National Park. Starting from Princetown, I follow the route of the disused railway line, stopping to explore the atmospheric Foggintor Quarry along the way.
This time I’m camping solo in the Hilleberg Soulo, which proved to be incredibly comfortable. While King’s Tor isn’t the highest point on Dartmoor, it offers breathtaking panoramic views, rugged granite outcrops, and plenty of ideal wild camping spots.
In the video, I also delve into a bit of local history—discussing the old railway’s purpose and visiting the remote King Tor Halt station, a fascinating relic of Dartmoor’s industrial past.

This is the closest mountain (701m) to London and the home counties. My descent was just ahead of a beautiful sunset.
Always remember to take litter home when visiting these beautiful areas, and stick to footpaths where you can.
Drone disclaimer- there was a helicopter operating in the area, when on Crug Hywel I could see it was on the ground and the pilot had exited so flew the drone for 3 minutes. At the summit I was in conversation with one operative who had a radio to the helicopter to confirm it was grounded. DO NOT FLY NEAR OTHER AIRCRAFT!

I did strongly consider the Nortent Vern 1 for a while which I consider to also be a very capable tent, but in this video I explain why I went for the Hilleberg (I am not yet a fanboy but love the tent) and why I still recommend the Vern 1 if the Soulo is just too expensive. Which it is. VERY. In fact, I have named the tent "Temu" so to throw Mrs T off the scent and maintain my marriage...
New adventures on here soon with this tent. It compliments my Fjallraven Abisko Lite 1 (which is damaged inside) and offers more headroom and wind holding.

This was the third proper outing in my Abisko, and so far it has delivered. There was some pretty serious condensation this time as the mountain disappeared into the clouds for a while overnight, but we awoke to a superb sunrise, with the Abergavenny lights twinkling some 1,500 ft below us.
