    Great to see you back out, Trev. You can still camp at both Roos Tor and Great Mis Tor even when live firing is taking place. The flags are on these tors because they're prominent landmarks and denote that firing is taking place in Merrivale Range; the actual boundary runs to the north of these tors.

Also, out dreams are more vivid when we are in shallow sleep. I always find it interesting what our brains throw at us in that senior conscious state. Cheers for watching, mate!

    Hey Trev! Cracking video looks like you had fun!

It seems the GoPro defaults to it’s internal mic on the actual GoPro not even the mic on the media mod. We have to do a power cycle on the GoPro after plugging or unplugging the volta or we have no sound from external mics/media mod! It’s caught us out a few times! Onwards and upwards 👍

    I absolutely love Dartmoor, hoping to get back there soon for another multi-night solo adventure… I’ve not been there since the amazing hot/dry summer we had this year, so I only have rose tinted memory’s of camping on various Tors down there lol. The best way to double peg is to “back-stake” using the cord on the first peg! 👍🏻 Are you aware that they are trying to put a stop to ‘wild camping’ on Dartmoor, some very wealthy land owner is dragging it through the high-courts as we speak!.. If and when, then we all need to get together for a “mass protest camp”.. I’d really hate to see them outlaw it on Dartmoor!! ⛺️ Even though it’s 250 miles away from where I live, I’m very fond of the place and the memory’s I’ve built up having had several trips down there this year, and I’d like to have many more adventures to come down there in the South! I have a real soft spot for all the pony’s too, they just make the place all the more special to be..

    Hi, I share your love of Dartmoor, I have a theory of the stone circles, I've studied Art for many years and symbolism is a key factor. So I think the stones represent the various tribes or groups, which are unified, hence the circle The stone rows could represent the ancestors from their past. Just an idea.

    Жыл бұрын

    Hi Peter, the large is a little less (470g's to the UL80's 560g). The R value though is much better - the UL80 always required a secondary mat in colder times which obviously takes up more pack at more weight - the Thermarest is amazing - you can feel it kicking heat back at you. Also it packs down to the size of a pack-a-mac. I wish I'd got mine sooner!

No gas cookers, small fire, no lights, just a hand torch, blankets instead of sleeping bags. Wild? 4* 😉
