• Solo wild camping
• Remote coastal paths
• Wildlife encounters
• Breathtaking scenery every step of the way
• Honest reflections and trail tips
The published length of the trail is 65 miles, but my OS App tracked my walked distance over 73 miles. Along the way I occupied myself by counting the number of benches that I passed; 175 in total!
Whether you’re planning your own trip, or just want to escape into nature for a while, this video is for you.
The base weight of my equipment was 7.6kg. The full list of the kit I carried is here: lighterpack.com/r/acptk3

I detail every single piece of equipment that I use on a wild camping trips, and add up the total cost of buying it new. What is the total cost of all the equipment that I used? Was it too expensive? How did the cheaper items perform?
NB: all of the details are correct to the best of my knowledge when the video was produced. They have been changed since then, or been replaced by updated items.
BTW I omitted the cost of my compass, which was around £10, and the cost of the boxers and socks was for the 2 pairs that I used.
All of the weights and costs are detailed on my LighterPack listing here: lighterpack.com/r/jf8da1

*update 25/4/2025: The authenticity of the R-Value testing has been questioned, and Camperlists have sent me to these 2 web pages for the Chinese testing facility. Thanks to Google Translate, it seems that Shenzen Anran's main business is the R-value test of sleeping pads.

Wild camping brings you so much closer to the environment; surviving the elements; freezing weather, gales, sunshine, and clouds.

An easy step-by-step guide to set up your camp in minutes, plus tips and tricks for the perfect pitch, and simple modifications to make it even better!
These are my suggestions only; I hope they help you get the most from the tent. Prices were correct in the UK at the time of filming.
The cleats that I use on the bottom corners are the LineLok 3 which were bought from Station 13: ebay.co.uk/str/station13thirteen

Is it any good? What are the benefits? What problems have I found?
A warts-and-all honest review.
If you want to know as much as possible about a rucsack, then there's no substitute for extended use. I share my thoughts after so much varied mileage.
About the chest pods... I started with an OMM pod, but they are out of stock everywhere right now (April 2024). But anyway I got fed up with it; it only has one pocket, and it’s not waterproof! I even ended up making small grommet holes in the bottom because it kept filling up with water - not ideal when I was keeping my map and phone there!!
So I’ve upgraded to one from Treadlite Gear: treadlitegear.co.uk/hill-and-high-street-chest-pack--multi-carry-bag-1192-p.asp It is made from DCF, waterproof, with 3 compartments. But I have changed the clips to ones that are easier to open and close.
Similar ones are made by Wild Sky Gear, too: wildskygear.co.uk/chestpacks-13-c.asp
The 'dry' weight of my pack (excluding food & water) was around 9kg. My full gear list is here:

Featuring the wreckage of a Wellington Bomber, and a rare Broken Spectre!
