Hi John, what a sunrise, well worth it just to see the mist. I'm glad you got there on time to catch your train!! You were well hidden there, but the smell of your cooking would have given the game away. Really enjoyable to watch, well done!!

Well sure it's been said before but refreshing to see someone with their own sense of style doing solo outdoor camping. I'm scruffy til I die but fair play to you sir

Great video thank you. Lovely footage of the mist.

That was beautiful! Very well done🎉

And cracking early morning shots too.

Really enjoyable video - well done. You have proved that most people can get outside and enjoy themselves. Thank you and Stay Safe.

That was really good and the animals and sounds and the crescendo build up at the end really did make this video worth the wait. That 'majestic Tree' as you put it, really was...Impeccable oration throughout. It was very engaging... A positive review of your crunchy ragu...

That was a good one. Good cook out and it looked very nice (what was the mince ??). Glad to see the full glass bottle of red being studiously hiked through the Wiltshire/Berkshire countryside 😂 I keep meaning to get a Honey Stove but need to justify it as the titanium one is pretty pricey. Absolutely stunning morning. Thx for bringing us along John 😊👍

Thanks Giles! It was Quorn mince. Yes I agree the Honey Stove is expensive for what it is - essentially just a few pieces of cut sheet metal that you slot together - but I like the fact it's UK made, and it does seem to be quite adaptable to different styles of use.

Thanks! I would love to say I go for lightweight / minimalist gear due to some elite high performance goal but the reality is I'm just a bit lazy and I don't like lugging heavy loads about! I actually weighed my bag for a change this time and the total pack weight was 11kg almost on the dot. However over 4kg of that was food and drink (including a bottle of wine obvs), so I guess that means a base weight of just under 7kg. I'm not sure whether that's particularly low...? I suspect a bivvy + tarp + groundsheet may sometimes end up being a false economy in terms of weight compared to just carrying a tent! ...but I do like the sense of being fully outside and being able to look up at the stars etc when sleeping outdoors.

Yes, that is correct, “Old” Winchester Hill, my mistake. Shame you were faced with mist. The view on a clear day is quite something Tweedy. I find the place exciting on a couple of levels. One because of the views, the other being like in the film American Werewolf in London, “don’t stray from the paths.” Taken from the Old Winchester Hill leaflet. “Some of the smaller hollows were created during World War II, when the army used the hill as a mortar firing range. Some sections were never fully cleared of ordnance so, for your safety, please keep to the well-marked paths that avoid these areas.” Really enjoying your videos, keep up the good work Tweedy, have fun!

Wow thanks for the lovely comment! My cufflinks are mostly silver and so far have seemed fairly impervious to water etc. I make a point of wearing them almost every day because I love the idea of having an object, however small or insignificant, which follows me around all the time. One day I will pass these on to my daughter (or maybe her children?) and it's nice to think these were an artefact that was close to my skin almost every day, something I handled every morning as I was getting dressed, and not just some arbitrary thing I mostly kept in a drawer. They're sort of totemic, if that's the right word?

@@mountainmantararua8824 Yes maybe totemic isn't exactly appropriate here! I was trying to convey the idea of an inanimate object which somehow comes to represent a person, and would continue to do so after they've died. I remember inheriting a magnifying glass from my grandfather at a very young age. I was kind of fascinated with it at the time, but also wondered how meaningful an object this would have been to him. A bit hard to imagine anyone using an object like that on a daily basis!
