    That's a fantastic camping spot. I don't know why I'm torturing myself watching these videos, I'm desperate to get back out there. I hope all is well with you guys and will look forward to your future content. Fired a sub across. Take care, Monty.

    Enjoyed your video. Funnily enough my wife had suggested going to Mersea Island just before the lockdown so never got there. Hope Em's mum is improving and that she gets to see her soon. Take care Sheree and Duncan

    Cracking morning for it. I seen a comment regarding sleeping in separate tents. I think the Naturhike Cloud Peak 2 is quite big and would do 2 people really well. The Helm 2 looks a good option too. Thanks for sharing.
