- THIS IS THE REALITY. ITS NORTHUMBERLAND
Ever changing weather, stunning views, isolation. It’s a bit of everything and you need to be ready.
In this episode I head onto the last section of the pennine way for an overnight camp in the Hilleberg Nallo 2. What a mix of weather!

Can you guess who wrote the poem?
P-diddy?
@@Simon1981-l1c no diddy
I have heard it before but i did have to google the answer
Dippy Dixon?
7:40 If you're looking at the Eildon hills, it's pronounced Eeldon. However it is also referred to by it's Roman name "tri-montium" ( 3 hills). That tent isn't light, it's flappy, but it did a good job. Good effort, well done & thanks for posting.
Going back a few years but camping up near Darden Lough near the treeline but looking towards the west, perhaps the most beautiful sunset dropping down into the hills. Never seen anything more handsome, You know when the wind drops around sunset and it is just perfect. A little bit of supper makes it ok after a long trudge.
It really is!
Great to see you out and about again. One of my favourites so far. x
Glad you enjoyed it!
I think the beauty of Northumberland is the solitude, I love to try and see where you are and I may have nailed this one, just a little puzzle I like to do, great video, keep them coming, stay strong, enjoyed the video a lot.
Love that mate. That’s the idea. I try not give the location away but leave bread crumbs of course. Yeah the solitude is perfect it’s for a real sense of history!
Great to see you back out Steve! Been a long time coming I bet mate! Nice camp... tip of the Helmet... tape your zips 👍 thanks for sharing the experience
Thanks 👍
Good to see you back out mate, I always love it when you get that short window of wonderful light. Loads of room in the big hilly, something I never seem to have is enough space 😂 tfs atb Dave ⛺️👍 PS that wind got up like 💨💨
Nice one Stephen. Thats a nice route to do to windy gyle with an overnight camp on the way. Enjoyed the wilfred Gibson poem. Nice to see the injury is on the mend. 🎉
Hey Emz yeah windy was probably a stretch too far for me but lovely spot/route. im back in the game little by little TFW
Nice vid for the first one back, good the leg is on the mend. I love that area, like you said, perfect for solitude. What a difference those mics make, crystal clear. Cheers mate, Atb 👍
cheers Davey, onwards and upwards.
I bivvi'd the whole of the Pennine way😊
legend mate
@thegeordiewildcamper ah right. Looks like one of those kits as aforementioned. Stay safe out there mate and it's great to see you back out buddy.
Thanks, you too!
absolute class. great vibes. jealous how tidy your tent looks when you're unpacked! haha
hahaha its not always like that but i do like to keep things squared away. TFW Steven
Smashing video, Steven, really enjoyed watching it, great atmosphere. I can pinpoint exactly where you were because I’ve had my eye on the area as well. Thanks for giving me a preview! ATB, Graham
Glad you enjoyed it Graham, its a stunning area. you could do a couple of days along that route all the way along! TFW Steven
@@thegeordiewildcamper not a bad idea
Tent looks spot on 👍🏻
Cheers mate! Yeah it’s a lovely bit of kit sadly it’ll not be one I keep. It doesn’t have the space for two wide pads!
@@thegeordiewildcamper shame! Dare say it will have kept its value 😉
Good to see you back out bud. Cracking spot too. Noticed the temps coming down quick on my last couple too, won’t be long till we get the full winter camps. Hope your all good, ATVB Robert
Hey Rob, yeah full winter camps on the way isnt it. see you go the new neo? any good?
@@thegeordiewildcamper very much, we had minus 1 on this weeks camp so can’t be long now till it’s snow and ice. Yeah really good, very impressed with it. Really light and works well for additional footage that maybe would be too much of a hassle with the bigger drone
Brilliant mate. Love the poetry. More of that 👍🏻
Thanks Chris very kind words. Just tried to capture the sense of how I feel. You getting back out much?
@@thegeordiewildcamper yeah a fair bit, but only RUclips’ing every other one or so. May do a bit more over winter I think. Too many hobbies 🤣
@chrishomer you and me both my friend. I need to get through your back catalogue 👍
Great video and some proper wind there!!
A lovely spot. I have walked that part a few times and your right that pull up through the woods is a right slot ain’t it. A nice edge up there to pitch on like you did and the tent held up well. It’s a nice walk further on over the cairn along the board walk to the chew green area. Hope to see this tent around more for the winter season. Atb Mark
Doubt you'll see the tent again mate not going to work out for me. Beautiful, reliable tent but its got to fit my needs. Catch you on the next one.
Great stuff. 😊. Not seen many recent wildcamping vids lately. If anything I've been watching stuff from 7 or 8 years back? No idea why.. nostalgia maybe ? Anyway. Best wishes chap👏👍🏼
thanks Fraser, plenty stuff on the tube from way back. glad you enjoyed it TFW Steven
Friend of mine said he will go camping in Dartmoor with me for couple of nights.
He needs a tent and I suggest some decent budget options in the range of £100-200, with some good used ones on eBay.
He replied with “I’m thinking of getting Eurohike Pop 200” I kid you not.
We’ll be having a chat.
Great video btw :)
some stern words needed by the sounds of it....hahaha
@@thegeordiewildcamper I was hopping he was pulling my leg, but he was serious!! He’s been told to get suitable shelter or it’s not happening.
Beautifully edited 👌
cheers Mark!
Hey Stephen great video. Good to see you out in nallo mine will be out again now I reacon. Not trying to be a know it all but having owned this tent a while, if you angle your guy lines more at 45 degrees to the poles it will pull the tent more end to end and crank up the tension on the middle of the tent and alleviate a lot of the flapping of the inner . Cheers mate 👍
Hey Gary, no problems at all my friend. Always looking to learn. Ill not be keeping this one as i didnt realise i couldn't fit two wide pads in. Shame as its a great tent.
@@thegeordiewildcamper yeah it’s the classic 1.5 man tent. Tight for 2 but a palace for 1!
Getting the mileage in mate, good to see. Take it easy though as there's a fine line between recovery and a set back ☺️
Hillebergs in red btw, best colour for me. Nallo a great option aswell. Tunnel tents are up and down in no time.....just take the ol' ear plugs 🤣
Take it easy,
Adge
Cheers Al, yeah ive given myself a little rest but got to keep the training up to strengthen. not sure multi days will be on the cards for a while but will get there eventually. Cheers for the support mate.
Cracking video mate im doing my first wild camp in next couple weeks and looking at Kilder. Any good spots you recommend and advice?
Maybe set up camp in one of them ditches next time? More sheltered?
i would have the missed the views!
Great video and some wise words. Do you think any other tent would have been better?
Hey Gary, tent is great - id pitch it slightly better to make it a bit sturdier.
Bet you feel great to be back out Steve? Quick question....that stove kit, is it the Kickstarter by Wildside Adventures?
yes felt brilliant to be honest. No its a mix of items a vesuv storm cone and a titanium pan.
What about Sasquatch.
isn,t that the tent liam good bloke outdoors has just dyed red on his last video looks a good tent but not as better in the wind as my oex bobcat 1 😊
Nah mate his is the Keron GT
@@thegeordiewildcamper thats it mate sorry
Good to see you back out at it mate especially with the weather we've had up here recently! hope the leg/injury is feeling stronger by the day, to battle the winter months 🤞
Yeah rich, onwards and upwards just trying to build strength whilst knowing limitations. Plenty more to come from me 👍
Sure if you go wild camping choose a bright red tent that can be seen for miles
Cheers for the comment Dave. I love the red for photography. Appreciate it doesn’t exactly blend but in these sort of places it is pretty isolated.
Good to see you out the Nallo man. Now you can probs see why i like it so much. Dont wana teach you to suck eggs but get them guy likes longer and more angled and to pull the nallo more taught and pitch the vestibule into the wind if you can 👌
Cheers Chris! It’s all good. Yeah I just couldn’t be arsed readjusting after I’d put them in. The vestibule into the wind always gets me. I know hilleberg say to do it but I want the front open 🤣 cheers for watching
There is a sign on a route up on the Durham Dales between Teasdale and Weardale. The Highest Road Pass in England ( shared 1st Place )
“Cyclists beware, Bad weather can occur at any time of year”.
That’s the North.
you are not wrong!
How’s the ankle holding up Steven? ATB Stephan
I’m getting there mate, taking its time. I know it’ll not be the same and struggling as can’t cover the ground like I used to. Hopefully in time mate. Thank you for asking 👍
@@thegeordiewildcamper I’ve been plagued with injuries too. I literally feel your pain . Get well soon
Nice spot that. Don’t think it’s been warm in the Cheviots at all this year but as long as you’re prepared it’s irrelevant as long as you enjoy the wilderness of the Cheviots 🏕️
exactly mate its been atrocious weather wise. fingers crossed we get a great winter in. TFW Steven
