Best camping spot in Dartmoor? - Great Staple Tors ledge - Abisko Lite 1 Hedley Thorne 2024-12-20 | Wild camping on a windy Great Staple Tor in the Fjallraven Abisko Lite 1 over the Christmas period. This could be the best wild camping location in Dartmoor and I had amazing morning views across Merrivale. The day before however it was foggy and windy for the hike up there. 17 hours of darkness for this trip! All equipment fared very well and kept me warm and dry. I am suffering a little from asthma for the start of this trip but it improved throughout. To answer questions about my hands and face- yes a little wrinkled due to childhood eczema but it looks worse than it is, promise!Dartmoor camping map: dartmoor.gov.uk/about-us/about-us-maps/camping-mapAlways pick up litter and dog poo - let's keep Dartmoor wild campable!Other videos you may like:Welsh mountain hillfort - winter campyoutube.com/watch?v=zxKe56Z1cr4Cold Welsh Mountain Camp with @Linleys youtu.be/0JcTpgYC6CA?si=wF2mGru_OoaamoATAncient Wessex/Ridgeway Camp with @Linleys youtube.com/watch?v=_iSLQSQc2FUFilming equipment:Samsung S24iPhone 14DJI Osmo Mobile 6(no drones allowed on Dartmoor, sorry!)Music: (A huge thanks to the excellent composers below - I am not monetised so hopefully this video benefits them financially in some way, I certainly listen a lot to your music and I encourage others to!)"Eleutheria" by Thomas Bergensenyoutube.com/watch?v=e3vLjxxZ2Po"Barn Cat" by Anon(if anyone has more details on this song please let me know!)"Warped by Light" by Jay Vartonyoutube.com/watch?v=rSgIcMp8e1k"Dude, Where's My Horse?" by Nat Keefeyoutube.com/watch?v=okpgzECmAoATent: Fjallraven Abisko Lite 1 - youtu.be/wMVpY3RefSU?si=mKZm0jDJSshzWlj4Sleeping mat: Exped Dura R5 - youtu.be/RwtPDbh6wPw?si=iaiLSxWTOK0MZaCsSleeping bag: Qezer down bag - youtu.be/-4k3J5lx_uc?si=_ojH_y-aXSYHYPJBHead torch: Ahhh now here's something.

Spectacular and Funny Wild Camp; Llyn-y-Fan Fawr Hedley Thorne 2025-10-03 | A wonderful Welsh wild camp by the lake of Llyn-y-Fan Fawr.

Wild camping with my irritating teenagers! Hedley Thorne 2025-08-22 | Irritating as teenagers are, they love wild camping and in this video I took my teenage sons camping on Great Mis Tor in Dartmoor. 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.Mentions in the video:Thorne's Coasters (James' channel) youtube.com/@ThornesCoasters@Forchesianshikescampsoutdoors youtube.com/@Forchesianshikescampsoutdoors@Camp-N-Wilddragon youtube.com/@Camp-N-Wilddragon@Linleys youtube.com/@LinleysChapters:00:00 - Climb to camp on Great Mis Tor03:00 - Camp set up06:42 - Climb to top of Tor08:38 - Cooking and Shout Outs13:22 - Morning on Great Mis Tor16:20 - DescentMusic in the video:'Filaments' by Scott Buckley - released under CC-BY 4.0. www.scottbuckley.com.au'Chasing Daylight' by Scott Buckley - released under CC-BY 4.0. www.scottbuckley.com.au'Undertow' by Scott Buckley - released under CC-BY 4.0. www.scottbuckley.com.au'Legionnaire' by Scott Buckley - released under CC-BY 4.0. www.scottbuckley.com.auFilming Equipment:DJI Osmo Mobile 4(no drones allowed on Dartmoor, sorry!)

VERY warm first wildcamp - packed wrong tent - vintage Vango! Hedley Thorne 2025-07-18 | Wild camping on Cribyn in the Brecon Beacons, Wales, below Pen-y-Fan. 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.

Londons Nearest Mountain - Pen Cerrig-Calch Hedley Thorne 2025-03-07 | The Black Mountains are part of the Brecon Beacons national park, and on this hike I went to the summit of Pen Cerrig-Calch, visiting Crug Hywel (Table Mountain) on the way up. 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.

Hilleberg Soulo Red Label - unboxing and walkaround Hedley Thorne 2025-01-21 | The Hilleberg Soulo is a highly capable 1 man tent, and so naturally I have bought one! 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. I buy everything with my own money and am not paid to advertise or promote anything. It's just me and my strong views!
New tent, new upcoming adventures! Please do subscribe, it means a lot to me... Hedley Thorne 2025-01-18 | ...
SubZero Wild Camp - The Ridgeway /North Wessex Downs - Hilleberg Soulo BL/ Fjallraven Abisko Lite 1 Hedley Thorne 2025-01-10 | Wild camping in subzero temperatures on The Ridgeway in ancient Wessex, visiting Segsbury Castle and Seven Barrows on the way. Hilleberg Soulo Black Label and Fjallraven Abisko Lite 1 were the tents we used on this trip. I was accompanied on this trip by the "super-good" Warren from @Linleys360 channelAll equipment fared very well and kept us warm and dry. I had a small hole in my inner tent in the morning, which I will ask Fjallraven to analyse. NOTE THAT THIS IS NOT CAMPING LAND- we were caught by the farmer but allowed to stay on this occasion due to the low temperatures.Other videos you may like:Welsh mountain hillfort- winter campyoutu.be/zxKe56Z1cr4Best Camping Spot on Dartmoor?youtu.be/W6_AX22F87s?si=gTp8qiWSrk62CImh Cold Welsh Mountain Camp with @Linleys youtu.be/0JcTpgYC6CA?si=wF2mGru_OoaamoATFilming equipment:Samsung S24iPhone 14 (damn microphone issues, sorry!)DJI Osmo Mobile 6DJI Mavic 3Music: (A huge thanks to the excellent composers below - I am not monetised so hopefully this video benefits them financially in some way, I certainly listen a lot to your music and I encourage others to!)"Lívstræðrir" by John Lunn (music to "The Last Kingdom" - available on Netflix)youtube.com/watch?v=T7VqRWD9mKE&list=RDQMQOrjIUwZBtI&start_radio=1"Edge of Night [Pippin's Song]" - MALINDA (music to "The Last Kingdom" - available on Netflix)youtube.com/watch?v=NTsduTxb74Y"Dude, Where's My Horse?" by Nat Keefeyoutube.com/watch?v=okpgzECmAoATent: Fjallraven Abisko Lite 1 - youtu.be/wMVpY3RefSU?si=mKZm0jDJSshzWlj4Sleeping mat: Exped Dura R5 - youtu.be/RwtPDbh6wPw?si=iaiLSxWTOK0MZaCsSleeping bag: Qezer down bag - youtu.be/-4k3J5lx_uc?si=_ojH_y-aXSYHYPJB doubled up with an old Outwell bag over the topTagging @CampLifeBushcraft as the beer battle rages, but takes an unexpected turn...

Best Wild Camping Spot in South Wales? Cribyns Western Ledge Hedley Thorne 2024-10-04 | Wild camping on Cribyn with Linleys 360. This could be the best wild camping location in South Wales and we had amazing morning weather, so I used the DJI Mavic 3 to get a showreel halfway through. The day before however it was grim- rain, wind, cold and fog for the march up there. But once those clouds left us, oh boy!

The Sugar Loaf Hedley Thorne 2024-09-28 | The Sugar Loaf rises above Abergavenny in South Wales, it is the beautiful gateway to the Black Mountains and the Brecon Beacons. On this climb my friend Neil and I started from the Porth-y-Park car park, a short drive up from the town. Our weather was mixed- heavy rain showers interspersed with sunny periods at the top, then heavy rain on the way down (too heavy to film in places). A superb day that I won't forget.Drone: DJI Mavic 3.Music:"The One" - Elton Johnyoutube.com/watch?v=85B_REWeNcMExplore the music of Elton John: eltonjohn.lnk.to/essentialsID"Chinatown" remastered by the excitement "Retro mastering":youtu.be/kQtqQTyQh1A?si=psOJsPZLJThaBwG9Written by Yuzo Koshuro, the best games music composer ever"In Your Light" - Jon Allenyoutube.com/watch?v=NWQIn46i8mgjonallenmusic.com

After unboxing I tested this for 30 minutes in my front room and it was toasty warm and very soft; it has a water resistant nylon covering which is useful for damp mornings in the tent.

Very wet first solo wild camp! | Great Mis Tor | Fjallraven Abisko Lite 1 Hedley Thorne 2024-09-09 | Very wet wild camp on Great Mis Tor in Dartmoor in the Fjallraven Abisko Lite 1 and with my new Exped Dura R5 sleeping mat. Not everything went to plan! This was Plan D due to severe weather but it was still a great adventure! Late in the night someone was outside of my tent which was a little spooky as this is so remote and nobody else was camping there.Music"It's Over" - Level 42youtube.com/watch?v=9VpYFQEWOrwlevel42.com"What You Want" - Julia Garthayoutube.com/watch?v=dy3zwBmGEVw"In Your Light" - Jon Allenyoutube.com/watch?v=NWQIn46i8mgjonallenmusic.com#dartmoor #wildcamping #fjallraven #abiskolite1 #hilleberg #GreatMisTor #Rain #Wetcamp #Camping
Exped Dura 5R | Sleeping Mat | Unboxing Hedley Thorne 2024-08-28 | The Exped Dura 5R is a durable 3-4 season inflatable sleeping mat with its own pump sack. Geared towards durability rather than weight saving, I am hoping that it will hold up to future wild camping abuse. Here, I unbox it and try it in my Abisko Lite 1 tent.
Wild Camping | The Blorenge | Wales | Abisko Lite 1 Hedley Thorne 2024-08-20 | Wild camping in Wales is special and so I took my Mavic 3 drone, my two eldest sons and their tents up a mountain above Abergavenny in the Brecon Beacons to see twinkly lights (copywrite Linleys360)! This was Plan B as we wanted to camp closer to Crickhowell however the Green Man festival was there.Music: "Cloudwalk River" - Mike Block"In Your Light" - Jon AllenTents:Vango Spectre 200Jack Wolfskin Gossamer 2Fjällräven Abisko Lite 1
Devils Punchbowl | Oxfordshire | Fjallraven Abisko Lite 1 Hedley Thorne 2024-08-08 | Fjallraven make great tents. Oxfordshire has lovely scenery. But are they both really up to it? Is this a Hilleberg rival? The Abisko Lite 1 has served me well, but it may have an achiles heel. I pitch up near The Ridgeway above the Devil's Punchbowl to take a look.
Wild Camping Sunrise! | The Blorenge, Brecon Beacons | Abisko Lite 1 Hedley Thorne 2024-07-13 | Wild camping sunrise above Abergavenny in beautiful Wales with my work friend Alex, using my Fjallraven Abisko Lite 1 on The Blorenge (561m) which is in the South East corner of the Brecon Beacons. Alex suffers from being lazy and so this was the perfect trip for him; he even had his own special car park, closer to where we were camping! 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.Inspiration:camping under expert guidance given by @linleys (including custard!)Trying a new beer inspired by @CampLifeBushcraftTent choice inspired by the adventures of @BUSHMANandBLUEMusic:"Landscape Photography" by Mocha Music"No More Pain" by Anon"From East to West" by AnonEquipment:Drone- DJI Mavic 3Camera- iPhone 14Gimbal- DJI Osmo Mobile 6New down jacket - Mountain Warehouse Henry 2#campingsunrise#fjallraven#wales#breconbeacons#abergavenny#wildcamp
