NEW YEAR'S EVE WILD CAMP 2022 | SOUTH DOWNS HILLFORT IN STRONG WIND AND HEAVY RAIN | NEW CAMERA!

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Welcome back to the South Downs in West Sussex for a New Year's Eve celebration on top of Cissbury Ring hillfort where I wild camped with Dawn and saw in 2023! We took our OEX Rakoon 2 tent and put it through it's paces on the hill top where there were strong winds and heavy rain coming in off the English Channel! We reviewed 2 new winter ciders and 2 mulled ciders. I also successfully used my new camera for the first time - the GoPro Hero 9 Black! I love it!
Hope you enjoy joining us on this cracking little adventure, thanks for watching and supporting the channel. If you haven't subscribed already, it'd be awesome if you could, it helps get the channel promoted more on here and gets me closer to that elusive 10000 subs milestone! A like of the video and a nice comment wouldn't go amiss either! Enough of that. Cheers!

    Just started watching you, and you're great. I am now tempted to wild camp with my hubby and daughters on NYE this year. What a great way to see the year in. X

    Welcome! That's awesome thank you! Honestly go for it, I've only been doing a NYE camp for a few years but it's one of my favourite camps of the year, the views and the fireworks are usually awesome, I get to celebrate it in a different place each year and it's much cheaper! My top tip would be look for a hill that overlooks a major town or city, guaranteed fireworks! X

    Nice one, going to do the whole route one week this year. Done bits n pieces of it but prefer multi-day camps nowadays.

    Sounds great! Have fun mate. I'm toying with the idea of doing it in one go like the Suffolk coast path. I'd need a couple of full rest days though amongst the walking! Maybe an overnight stop at truleigh Hill yha.

    Happy New Year guys. Guys the transcript of this video... I reckon you could sell it to Hollywood, as the script for 50 shades of Grey sequel to the sequel 😁 Great bit of history and great scenery as are hallmarks of your videos. Cheers

    Awesome video mate. Really enjoyed it. Watched it about five times. I’ve been using exped mats without any problem at all, they can handle a little bit extra weight. They cost a bit more but they work really well especially on really cold ground. Happy New Year and looks like we are planning a holiday sometime in the New Year over your way, so hopefully we can catch up. Would be awesome. Cheers mate.

    Go Pro looks good Tom 👍. I’m interested in Bigfoot stories, and I really thought you had one farting outside the tent when Dawn wouldn’t own up to letting one out 😂… I thought ‘fog blowing in, lights going out in the valley, New Years Eve ‘(they get paid double time on bank holidays 😉)… it’s a Bigfoot! Then Dawn ‘fessed up’ and burst my balloon 🎈 😢. Thanks for some great wise cracking entertainment again you two 👏 TBH any Bigfoot out there watching this will give you pair a wide berth 😝🤣✌️ Lovely photo of you both at the vids end… aahhh ❤

    Happy New Year to you and Dawn 🎉 Awesome video as always Tom, beautiful location shame about the weather. The new Go Pro is impressive, the quality of the footage is good and enjoyed some of the new features you can get from it. Fingers crossed Luke and yourself are able to get together for the South Down walk this year.
