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.
