My FIRST SOLO Wild Camp - Dartmoor National Park
Hello RUclips!
Today, I’m taking you along with me for my first ever wild camp, and I’m going SOLO! (Scary) 😱 I pack my backpack and head up to Oke Tor, the first tor I ever visited on this channel.
In today’s video, I set up a tent for the first time, get surrounded by all of Dartmoor’s wildlife in the night, cook pasta and hope for a sunrise!
This was the first time I have ever camped, and I did it all alone, so I hope this helps any of you who are struggling to overcome your fear and anxiety around camping, particularly solo camping. It can be so good for the mind to take a break from the busy-ness of everyday life and head out into nature.

Hiking in Dartmoor National Park - Secret Waterfalls & Stunning Views!
Просмотров 31514 дней назад
Hello RUclips! Apologies for the gap in uploads! I’ve been having internet issues for the past week, but I’m pleased to say that I’m back! In today’s video, I’m in the Hexworthy/Holne Moor area, parked up by Venford Reservoir. I head out on a walk along the overgrown banks of Venford Brook in search of the secret Twin Falls of Venford, a pair of waterfalls which don’t appear on the map! 🤫 Then ...
A Sunset Hike to East Mill Tor - ASMR Hiking
Просмотров 8821 день назад
Hi RUclips! This is something a bit different from my usual videos. This is an ASMR hike, a walk with ambient sounds only. No talking, no editing, no pieces to camera, and no shots of my ugly mug ruining the gorgeous views! I decided to make this video because I’ve had a few comments and messages from people,l, saying that they love to watch my videos (and those of other hiking and wild camping...

I’m joined by the @Summit_Seekers00 Adam & Alex, and they’ve brought the weather with them! Watch us hike into the storm on a wet and windy walk on Dartmoor. There’s rain, there’s wind, there’s fog and cloud. There’s raindrops on t...
Hiking in Dartmoor National Park - Sourton Tors, Branscombe’s Loaf & Shelstone Tor
Просмотров 229Месяц назад
Hi RUclips! Today I park in the Prewley Moor area of Northwest Dartmoor and embark on a beautiful hike, visiting 4 tors and the mysterious Branscombe’s Loaf! There’s a Dartmoor legend for how the lof came to be and, as always, stunning scenic views of one of the best places to walk in England, and my favourite place to walk in Devon, Dartmoor National Park. I started by heading up to Eastern To...

Great video dave loving the rucksack 👍
ace.
Loved it Dave .... done it many times. Cheers from Newquay.
@@GreyGhost. thank you! It’s a beautiful walk, and the views are spectacular!
i started off wild camping in a green eurohike tamar 2 i payed from gooutdoors £25 pound and i still have it now i even camped on my first wild camp in january new year eve with my cousin and i stayed for 3 days and 3 nights in zero 5 degrees good although i camped all 4 seasons in it its a 3 season very good tent to start off with 😊
I’m thinking of getting a 40 foot rubber dinghy and going to France
Hello from NZ, if your shoulder straps are too thin or make your shoulders sore, then buy a couple of car seat belt covers. I recommend to all my students that they buy them. I prefer the woolen ones; you will find that this will make it more enjoyable and easier to carry your load. I recommend that you put the tent at the top of the pack and your mat at the bottom. Having the tent at or above the shoulders will be less stressful on the body, having it on the bottom will make you lean forward more and fatigue you more, also it will impede your gait. As an instructor in bushcraft in the mountains for 50+ years, I have found that these couple of tips work and will make your trips more enjoyable. I'm 76 and still carrying 20 kgs. It has been nearly 60 years since I did my first 'solo' and any fear will soon evaporate after a few more. The first forty years are the worst, then it becomes easier.🤣🤣Anyway that's my two cents worth. Enjoyed the video, ATB Cheers from the mountains of NZ 😊😊
@@mountainmantararua8824 thank you very much for the tips! Especially the placement of the tent, I hadn’t considered that at all! I’ve bought a much newer backpack for my next camp, so hopefully the strap situation will be sorted 👌🏻 Thanks very much for watching! I think you take the award for my viewer living the furthest away!
Nice one Dave - welcome to the club! You'll get better sleep the more you get used to it... also, whisky helps! Haha!
@@thedartmoorpodcast a hip flask was the one thing I forgot to take! 😂
Yes yes and yes yes yes and yes Yes and yes and yes Yes and yes and yes
@@peeky76 love it 😂
Always a surprise when you open the door on Dartmoor. Never know what you gonna get.
@@Camped_on_Dartmoor definitely! 💯
The first camp is always a learning curve. Glad you finally got out and done it 🤙🏼 We'll have to sort a camp out mate!
@@Summit_Seekers00 it definitely was! Sounds good to me mate!
This was amazing presentation, shots are amazing!
@@ervinslens thank you cery much mate! Glad you enjoyed it!
Beutiful
@@dedpul5071 certainly was! 🙌🏻
Great video Dave. I remember my first wild camp, the weight on the shoulders was a shock to the system 😆 Back then, I didn’t realise the waist strap takes part of the weight 🫣 You’ll learn a lot from this camp, including what you probably don’t necessarily need to take next time. But it’s sooooo worth it isn’t it, that solitude is the best feeling. I love that tor, I walked past it on my video last week, it has so much character. Watching your video has made me decide to camp there soon. Thanks for a great watch 😁
@@dartmoorlife thank you very much! Yes, I already have the itch to get out there again soon and there’s a few things I’ll leace behind 😂 did you walk past it in your Dartmoor north to south? I have them saved on my watch later, haven’t had a chance to sit down and watch them yet! Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it!
@@DaveDoesHiking yes, walked past it in the 1st video. I’ve never thought about camping there, even when I walked past it last week. It’s only after watching yours, I thought, that’s going to be a great camp spot to do soon 😁😁😁
@@dartmoorlife glad I’ve inspired you to give it a try! The views into the valley are stunning! 🙌🏻
Well done pal👏👏👍
@@JamieHarding5 thank you!
Walked it today ! OMG hot and humid by the river and the climb up is a killer, I Suggest doing it anti clock wise, great video and was inspired to take the walk Thanks.
@@TurboTimsWorld I’m glad you liked the video and I’m really glad it inspired you to take the walk! Yeah so humid down by the river, as soon as you’re out of that wind the temperature rockets up!
It looks beautiful 😍
@@AnnabelField2009 it was! 🙌🏻 thanks for watching
Congratulations on your first camp on Dartmoor 🎉. I thought that bag might be a bit of a pain without the waist belt. you learn a lot from the first camp ⛺️
@@Camped_on_Dartmoor you absolutely called it! 😂 haha, thank you!
That pink sunrise is gorg 😍
Great video again mate 👍
@@Forchesianshikescampsoutdoors thank you! It’s a gorgeous part of the moor, well worth a trip!
Word of warning when you decide to visit Haytor, it's very touristy! Park up by Saddle Tor and walk up 🤙🏼 Great video as usual mate!
@@Summit_Seekers00 thanks guys, I’ll bear that in mind! 🤙🏼
What a stunning hike man, what a magnificent work!
@@ervinslens thank you! It’s a beautiful area of the moor, well worth checking out!
This is beautiful 😍
Brilliant vid mate. I think the tor that is hard to get to is called Luckey Tor which is on os map. 👍
@@richardcrossman4035 if it’s on the map, then I’ll have to go there! Thanks for watching, I’m glad you liked it!
I can confirm that Luckey Tor is a tricky one to get to…depending which way you go. Aish Tor has good views as well. Nice video btw👍🏻
@@pennywise146 thank you! And thanks for watching!
Love Bench Tor it is one of our favs easy parking and we being OAPs walk the easy way up ( the way you walked back) sat and enjoyed many a pasty cuppa coffee and the views from the top never been to the falls and seeing the walk down to them dont think we will ever do that so thanks for doing it us 😍
@@Maggie_1957 it’s a beautiful tor with some stunning views! Especially down into the valley! Yes the trek down to the waterfalls isn’t the easiest, that’s for sure! Thanks for watching ☺️
Good to see some proper Dartmoor weather on your channel - haha! Keep up the good work, buddy!
@@thedartmoorpodcast haha, yes it’s not really a proper Dartmoor hiking channel until you get weather like this! Thanks very much!
Crock of Gold, Hexworthy to Princetown is my Dartmoor walk this Sunday
@@TurboTimsWorld oh that does sound amazing! This weekend’s video is a hike near the Hexworthy area, it’s beautiful around there!
hi great video and weather 😂yeah supposed to be hot this week 👌👌
@@ELUSIVEDARTMOOR thanks mate!
We did a great walk of that area not long ago , think I called it war horse walk, Legis Tor more south towards cadover is lovely, the holes in the wall at the warren house are kennels. Then film warhorse is great if you haven’t seen it , wasn’t filmed in that weather though 😂
@@Moor2Sea we did wonder what they were 😂😂 yeah I’d thought about going over to Legis Tor, but the weather just got worse and worse so we kept it nice and short 😂
@@DaveDoesHiking yes wouldn’t be much point doing Lego’s in that , when you do there’s a lovely view towards Cadover and Plymouth Sound
@@Moor2Sea I’ll definitely be heading back in nicer weather!
Nothing like Dartmoor weather. Soothing in a tent..
@@Camped_on_Dartmoor haha, you’ve gotta take the rough with the smooth on Dartmoor! True wilderness, but I love it!
@@DaveDoesHiking to be fair I’ve had had more sun on Dartmoor than rain.
Thanks for having us 🤙🏼 Next time, leave the rain at home 😉
@@Summit_Seekers00 shame we didn’t arrange it for this weekend, it’s been glorious! 😂
@@DaveDoesHiking I know, absolute banging weather now 😅
Good to see @Summit_Seekers00 join you. Have just subbed to them
@@Moor2Sea appreciate it 🤙🏼
I walk from Prewley moor up past Sourton Tor and then up Corn Ridge to Branscombe's Loaf every other day throughout the year-except when lightning is forecast (for obvious reasons). It's my exercise that keeps me going at 74 years old. Yes, it's a climb, but you get used to it. The whole walk takes me around an 1 hr 40 minutes. I know it's daft but I've named most of the rocks along the route!
@@johnrussell5245 it must keep you very fit! It’s a beautiful route though
One of my favourite places 👍🏻
@@pennywise146 it’s very beautiful there 🙌🏻
If the cows are lying down , they are tired ,!!!
Great video dave , cornridge proper calf burner mate 😀
@@Forchesianshikescampsoutdoors it definitely is! Thanks for watching mate, glad you enjoyed it!
Fecal dropage 😂 Great video mate 🤙🏼
@@Summit_Seekers00 I’m nothing if not descriptive 😂 glad you enjoyed it!
Looks great Dave👌
Looks great weather👍
Learning the best routes from tor to tor is half the challenge, I love route planning but despite pre planning once your on the ground it can be very different. Thing I like is once you’ve done an area it stays in your head forever. We started making videos but it’s finding the time to get out with work and family commitments, I’m off out this Wednesday and really looking forward too it , great video btw Adam
@@Moor2Sea definitely one of the biggest challenges, but you’re spot on about it staying in your head for next time you’re in the area! Where are you heading to on Wednesday? I’ll keep my fingers crossed for good weather for you! Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed the video!
@@DaveDoesHiking doing a circular , Rowtor , WestMill Tor , Little Tor , Yes Tor, Hampster, HW , F Ledge , Black Tor, Red A Ven Dip , and a couple ponds and the railway shed . It t looks warm and dry atm 🤣 we know that can change quickly though
@@Moor2Sea sounds like an awesome route! The views of the West Okement Valley should be stunning! 👌🏻
@@DaveDoesHiking went yesterday was a great trek, video being edited as I type
@@Moor2Sea I’ll be giving that video a watch over the weekend!
Also mate you need to count Hampster Tor the small one just before HW😂 jumped the gun before the video had finished haha . Adz
It’s little Tor , really great little tor , good video mate Adz
Thanks! It wasn’t marked on the map, but I was sure that it was a separate tor in its own right! Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it!
they lay down to chew cud
Kent and Dartmoor are beautiful in different ways would be boring if they was the same! The stones are 😎 last time I was there someone had a fire in the middle of it . Not happy!!! I'm more of a Yorkshire moors and dales kind of girl 😊
@@candiceb8925 couldn’t agree more, variety is the spice of life! I’ve not been to Yorkshire yet, but the north moors and the dales are definitely both on my list! Where are your favourite spots?
No cows are lazy
Looks awesome. I hope to get up there this year.
You definitely should!
Thanks for the interesting exploration. It was nice to get distracted from daily chores.
@@HikeToWildlife I’m glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching
I went to school just along the road from here ❤️
Oh I like that💪👌 I love waterfalls. That looks awesome.
Hi Dave Great hike & stay fit walking Here my lace shoes with you
