1 ~~~ Dartmoor - A Two Day Hike and Wild Camp on Sheeps Tor. Ancient Bronze Age Monuments. ~~~ 31

In this video, I am amongst the rugged beauty and ancient history of Dartmoor National Park.

Setting off from Princetown and bathed in beautiful bright sunshine (rare for Dartmoor!),
I thread my way across the moors and Tors visiting several impressive features and ancient bronze age monuments before arriving at my wild camp spot for the night on top of Sheets Tor.

After setting up camp and enjoying a hot dinner,
I am rewarded with the most stunning sunset - a perfect end to a perfect day exploring one of my favourite areas in England.

Thanks for watching.

2 ~~~ Sub Zero Winter Hot Tenting in a Modified Polish Army Lavvu. ~~~

Join me and Maggie as we head to the woods for a sub zero overnight camp during the 'Beast from the East' Siberian snow storm.

We spend the night in my modified Polish Army Lavvu hot tent, with my 50. cal ammo can wood stove keeping us warm and toasty,
cooking on the wood stove and eating our way through a British army 24hr ration pack - lovely!

I hope you enjoy the video and thanks for watching!

3 ~~~ Overnighter in Dulyn Bothy Mountain Refuge Shelter. North Wales in Winter. Hiking in the Snow. ~~~

In this video, I am up in the mountains of North Wales having just spent the night in my broken tent during a snow storm.

I head down to a lower altitude to meet with a friend at Dulyn Bothy - a mountain refuge hut where we spend the night sheltered from the biting cold and snow and enjoy a warm fire, a few drinks and great company.

The Bothy at Dulyn reservoir is one of many owned and maintained by the Mountain Bothies Association.

They are free to use and accommodate several people, offering shelter from the weather in remote mountainous regions.

They are basic, but usually have bunks of some description, simple furniture, a place to prepare food and some have a fire place to warm up.

You can join the Mountain Bothies Association for an annual fee that helps fund the maintenance of these fantastic resources.

I hope you enjoy the video.

Thanks for watching.
