    You have just reminded me of a cycle tour of the Dales I did with my daughter and the lad next door, they were 12 years old and went up on the train. We sat on top of Malham cove and watched the sun set. Brilliant, I had forgot about that trip.
    Thanks Andy.

    Inspiring. It would be really interesting to know what you find works best wrt the direction you pitch this tarp vs. the wind. Contrary to a tent I am imagining that you might pitch it side on to the wind to provide some wind shelter?

    @shaunhiggins1545 2 года назад +1

    Great video and incredible piece of geological history. Looking back at that face and imagining a giant waterfall coming over the top. I've got a siltarp (not the wing though) but I've been too afraid to try it against the winds (still late cyclone season here in New Zealand) so only really used it in woodland. Do you reckon it will take some moderate wind in that A configuration? Looks pretty stable and the wings are quite interesting.

    • @AndrewBeavers
      @AndrewBeavers  2 года назад +1

      yeah my thoughts exactly what a sight that would have been,just thinking back to those times in general how the landscape would have looked fascinates me..the design of the tarp is a good design to shed wind so i would be confident in using it in some higher winds tfw.

    You could spend the rest of your life exploring the 'dales' and only scratch the surface so looking forward to you getting out there in the future(not discounting north-yorks moors area, also another on your list im guessing).........as always Andy you have done your homework on the area you visit(hats off to you for that)......smart set-up there Andy the tarp looked good, that area is a no-go for me in summer as you eluded to in your summing-up it gets crowded..........no doubt you will find more remote spots in future(takes nowt away from a fine video and camp)........used to watch a guy a few year back(doesnt make may vids these days).....who explored the dales for a while ''plodders lost'' he might be worth a watch for a few ideas for more remote pitching spots although he might not be your 'cup-of-tea' if you know what I mean...........anyway great vid Andrew enjoyed it................ATB........Stu....👍👌.

Feel like I'm in Leeds city centre at times, but I suppose that's to be expected when it's so close to an overpopulated region like West Yorkshire. Fantastic scenery to wake up to in the morning though, and your setup seemed to work pretty well.

    I’ve just received this tarp in error (supposed to be the SilTarp2!). Considering to keep it or not. How would it fair with 2 people and how would it be getting changed from saturated clothes into dry spare clothing, I realise headroom is low, and likely to be lower if it’s raining. Cheers.
