In this video, after weeks of lockdown, I head off for a much needed overnight camp. On the windiest day we have had for months, I head off in the canoe with Maggie and find a quiet spot beside the river to set up camp. After setting up my hammock and tarp, I gather firewood and set about making a delicious dinner of Bangers and Mash, washed down with a nice dry cider. A comfortable but windy night is followed by a tasty breakfast before packing up and paddling back home (against a very strong headwind!)

I hope you enjoy the video.

Thanks for watching!
