      Cheers Rob. In the past when I've thought about affordable tents which are still good quality products, Vango has always popped up, but since I've experienced Alpkit products, I now think of them as being in the same class, and dare I say, to be even more affordable.👍

      Hordron Edge, as you mentioned, is a lovely spot to visit, and it's also not too far from the car, because of that, it's also ideal for a wind test if it all goes horribly wrong (there is an underlying method to my madness).🙂

      I'm pleased with the tent, in that I've got a fighting chance, if I get caught out by the weather (I wouldn't normally plan to go out in gusts like that if I can help it). Also with it being a 2-p tent, I've got room to move around when you're stuck inside the tent for 16 hours on those dark winter nights.🙂

      I think that the Tetri is great value for what you get. Like all my camping gear, it's not high end stuff that I use (mainly because I can't afford that kind of gear lol). I've never paid more than £140 quid for any of my tents (I wait for sales). I managed to pick the Tetri up in a recent Alpkit sale and in the end I paid around £90 quid for it.

      Aye mate, it was a bit windy that morning. That shelter is nice and roomy for those long dark winter nights, and after testing the tent, I reckon that it'll cope with those 50mph winter gusts if I get caught out in them (I normally wouldn't choose to camp in those conditions lol).👍

However, if I do get caught out by the weather, after that wind test, I now feel more confident about its capabilities.

There's too many memories associated with them for me to get rid of them, unless I deem it a worthy cause. When I first got into wild camping, I started off, for several years, just using a tarp & bivvy. I bought my first 1-p tent 'around/getting on for' 15 years ago and I still have it. I guess that I'm an emotional tent hoarder.🙂

      In the video I mentioned how there was no shelter up there, and that my tent would take the full brunt of the gusts. What I didn't mention was that the spot was only less than a mile away from the car, so if it all went horribly wrong and my tent collapsed, then it wouldn't take me too long to get back to the car.🙂

That's why I included a washing-up section in this video (lol) to show that it's not a difficult task to do. That meal was around £2 quid.

I don't promote the channel on stuff like TokTik, etc (although I do have a Facebook page for the channel) and I don't even say stuff like 'Like & Subscribe' in my videos (I think that I may have said it in around 4 of my earlier videos, as I was new to RUclips back then, and I thought that you had to say stuff like that to sound cool, lol).
      Alpkit make me laugh John. Most OEX tents are fire resistant. Alpkit tents aren't, and their warning literally says that the tent will go up in seconds. 🙂

      As for the wind noise, I've gotta say that this tent is the most silent that I've owned when it comes to internal flappiness wind noise. However, despite that, I did my usual camping sleep pattern of 'cat napping', i.e. 20 minutes spells of sleep then awake intervals throughout the night.🙂

      Technically, you have to get the landowners permission. However, several places will tolerate it, if you follow the 'Leave No Trace' code and respect the land by not having fires, tidying up after yourself, etc.
      In-fact, pre-covid days, the Peak District website used to have a wild camping section where it stated that although illegal it was tolerated and they even gave pitching advice along the lines of (from memory)... 'Above the highest fell wall and 50 yards from the nearest path'.

      Cheers for pointing that out John, you're quite correct and apologies for my mispronunciation. I'm of the generation that can remember when people called Porsche cars a 'Porsch' without the extra 'e' being emphasised at the end. High Shaw clough opposite the Cut Throat bridge is locally pronounced as Ey Shaw clough I believe, but I won't be calling it that as I'm not a local, likewise the Grind in Grindsbrook rhymes with 'rinds' in my head.
      Now where do you stand on the pronunciation of the word 'Scone'?🙂

      I say scone rhyming with stone but then again in south yorkshire a stone is sometimes pronounced as a "stooan" 🤣
      I know there's regional variations in how words are pronounced but lose hill is definitely just that...lose as in "lose a fiver".
      Grinah stones...Grinah rhyming with miner or diner. Anyhow, thanks for being a sport and not taking offence at my pretty harsh msg that I actually felt a bit embarassed about this morning. It really is a pet hate of mine though, lose hill being by far the biggest.
