In this video, I am in a new permission woodland for a solo overnight camp in my canvas swag. An evening of good food, a couple of cheeky local ales, a nice fire, the welcoming sounds of the woodland and just a little bit of rain.
Having arrived in the woodland in my Land Rover, I just had a short walk to find a nice spot to set up camp next to a fallen tree. The usual tasks of setting up my shelter and organising my kit, then collecting firewood before the rain came in.
As the first drops began to patter on my tarp, I set about preparing and cooking a delicious dinner and enjoying the evening, nice and dry beside may fire while the heavens opened.
Morning brought the promise of dryer weather and feeling refreshed from a very comfy nights sleep, I make coffee and breakfast before packing away.
I really needed this little break beneath the trees.
I hope you enjoy the video.
Thanks for watching.
