- Hello friends!
We are back with another adventure today. This time we take on my childhood stomping ground of Dartmoor. We start off in Ivybridge and hike 14 miles on Dartmoor to Sheepstor, I spend the night in my tent here and we make our way to Princetown the next day! We see lots of great views, furry friends and historic sites!
See you all in the next adventure!

Thank you for taking us on your adventures Aden. I loved every minute of it, Dartmoor is stunning!! And there can only be one name for a tent - Peggy.
Brilliant 😄
Of course!
I LOVE Peggy for a name!
Bob's your uncle and Fanny's your tent. Awesome vid. I'm staying tuned.
Hiking with you in spirit as I walk on the treadmill lol
Oh, me too! Just spotted your comment after I posted. Virtual hiking club 😂
So proud of you for going out of your comfort zone and solo wild camping! You're an inspiration, and I'll pretend to be inspired to go out in nature whilst actually rotting in my room xx
I'll drag you out on the Yorkshire Dales luv :)
I’m loving your wanderings so much. I go to Burrator and Dartmoor a lot, just to feel zen. I can’t wait to see the Cotswold way. Thanks Aden for taking us along with you and the quality work you consistently produce, here and on your Sims channel 💕
Thank you Susy! We are so lucky to have Dartmoor :)
I’m only 10 minutes into the video but I can still confidently say this is my new favorite channel. Absolutely adore all of this!
Glad you're liking it my dear!
I’ve dispersed camped and hiked in so so many places. You do an absolutely amazing job at showing what it really feels like. Thank you!!!
wooo! Watch out for the Hound of the Baskervilles!
I'd probably try to feed it treats tbh
Oh that little foal on the second day! What a cutie!
Loved the video! The name of your tent HAS to be PEGGY! 😳😂😁
A cute glow worm!
🪱
"I gotta go Julia, we got cows!" Twister!
Absolutely lovely video. Thanks for sharing!
Yes! Can't wait for Twisters 🌪
The quality in this video is chef's kiss! I loved the landscape, it is beautiful.
I love these adventures! Thanks for bringing us along. Gloria could be a lovely name for a tent. "What a glorious view, Gloria!" Love from California ❤
Lovely tour, You are so brave. Beautiful views and animal friends. All looks great. Thank you for the videos 😊 🫶🏻
Blaaaddy lush, love Dartmoor, and this was delightful darling!
that was the best hiking vlog i ever seen. Maybe you didnt see my feedback but yet considered it hahaha i loved how much time you took to really let us take in the views and little creeks around and all in all it was amazing to watch. I am so glad you have a great time doing this. Your mood really transfers via the screen to me and i love that. Thank you so much! My favourite was actually the "lord of the rings" spot you showed us. I would have just stayed there all day long to be honest haha!
You are a amazing person and must be protected at all cost ❤
What a lovely tour! Thank you so much for sharing this part of you. Amazing!
I absolutely love these videos. You somehow make me feel I am there. Thank you
You are very brave to do this all by yourself! Well done. The scenery is glorious and breath taking. Thank you 😍
So excited to watch this ☺️ I’ve followed your sims channel for years and have always found your voice so relaxing and kind 🥰 thank you for the hard work you put into your videos xx
Thank you for this
“A really lovely, chilled walking day. My legs are dead though” 😂😂😂
Wonderful video. Dartmoor is beautiful. thank you for taking us along x
Straight out of a fairytale! Thanks for taking us along with you 🫶
ugh the views the animals and that stone structure took me breath away! thank you for taking us along for the journey!
I'm out of breath just watching you walk up that hill lol. thank you for another video I love these
England landscapes and building are so beautiful 🥲💚 Greetings from Portugal
Beautiful views! It seems like something out of a fairy tale, except for the scary story haha.
Your videos bring me so much joy! Thank you for sharing your adventures with us :))
" I'm only going to tell you one ghost story cause I don't want to scare myself" 🤣🤣🤣 One of my favourite comments from you on your trek! Then the next day whilst looking at a ruin in a glade (beautiful really) your comments "Investigating with Aden......" " Shall we do a renovation project loves?" - had me roaring with laughter! 😆 I am glad your trip wild camping on Dartmoor went really well for you and certainly enjoyed watching. Looking forward to your next travel vlog with much anticipation.🚶♀🚶🚶♂ Thank you Aden.
What fun seeing Aden in his element. We have a campers rule here in my area, "Leave your campsite a little better than how you found it." I take it as leave a little tettering stone altar, lol. I adore seeing these places, and the music choices are so spot-on. Such a great time!
Wow the stone circles! Thank you so much for bringing us along with you ❤
The UK landscape is one of the main reasons why I want to move there.
well that was an hour well spent. ♥
Hello, what beautiful weather you had during your adventure. thanks for sharing. Greetings from the Netherlands where it has only been raining lately😢
Oh this is *exactly* what I needed today sir, thank you so much.
Another fantastic adventure! You in the tent looking like a glow worm was a bonus. Made me have a good laugh. I really needed that today. Thanks again for taking us along!
Oh Aden i love these videos. As someone with mobility issues i wouldn't be able to do this amount of walking so i live vicariously through you in these vids. Love the scenery 💚
Seeing your upload is such a treat, just what I need this evening! I cannot wait to see your Cotswolds adventure, it is absolutely gorgeous! ❤
Yes! I love this SO much! My partner and I want to visit and travel about the southern UK regions... We live in the States. Your adventures are incredible!
This is the perfect background when I am doing something else. It's just so relaxing to hear Aden narrate the most mundane things. I might take up walking in my area soon because of this.
You don’t know how much I love that you’re sharing your walking adventures. There is a lot of walking YT out there I’m sure, and I wouldn’t know where to start. And now I don’t have to, because watching your channel feels like sharing this passion with an old friend.
I walked the Cotswolds Way in Summer 2012 and it was the wettest walk I’d ever done. But so beautiful! I cannot wait for you to do the West Highland Way. It’s a lovely walk and very doable even for the more inexperienced, which you are not! You certainly are ready! If I ever run into you on a trail I’ll say hi and try not to scare you 😊
Beautiful views. ❤❤❤
As you know I am in a wheelchair so the only way I go hiking is through you! Loved the video and could literally smell the nature. Helped by my autistic son having appeared with a bunch of leaves as gifts for me, saying he was bringing nature to me as I don't get out in it enough! Great timing on his part as I had a wonderful leafy smell to accompany the video. My names suggestions for the tent are: Nellie (around the world in 72 days), Tabitha (means “gazelle,” but suggests swiftness and movement), or Saira (an Arabic name meaning “traveler.”), ☺
I have been to Dartmoor, visited the prison many times (as a solicitor!!!). The first time was in winter, there was a thick fog and I have never seen anywhere as bleak as that journey. Whilst not a fan of zoos, I prefer animals to be in their natural habitat, I used to take my son to Dartmoor zoo 3/4 times every summer school holiday because he loved to sit and watch the tigers all day. That was it, just the tigers!

Thanks for sharing, enjoyed it.
30:45 That would be me with cider on hikes 😂
Have to watch this in parts and my orig comment with all my timestamps didn’t post 😭
34:05 LOOOL “my husband left me for a kidney bean” 🤣 adore your sense of humour. That meal leaves a lot to be desired but at least it fills the hole, right 🥴
37:55 👁️👃👁️ love a good ghost story.
43:30 same. I love waking up early and having a quiet morning. Devices don’t get turned on until later. A plethora of hot and cold drinks/smoothies and silence. Bliss.
55:30 AWWW THE BABY 🥹
Another brilliant tour. Gotta love those giraffes 😌
Hope you guys had a delish roast ❤
I was going to suggest Gloria for the tent set in glorious views, but Peggy (my aunt) is very popular for good reason.
Amazing program before sleep 🇧🇷❤
Watched this while getting ready before work this morning and it was so enjoyable, it's a rainy day here in Nebraska in the US and this paired perfectly with a quiet, cozy way to start the day. Been loving your adventures! ❤
i used to go dartmoor with my parents all the time as a kid, the little towns are so beautiful!
I just love this new series! Your so cosy 🌿💚
Absolutely stunning landscape, loved the video, you had me totally engrossed, thank you xx
My pleasure!
Love it was so great to see your adventures unfold
Can’t wait to get home now to watch another beautiful tour with Aden! One of these days I would love to see your back garden because it sounds beautiful. ❤
I’m with you regarding mornings. Nowadays I usually wake at 5 or 6 but I have to take things slow and quiet. It goes without saying another wonderful video, as always, thank you.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful scenery. I especially loved the standing stones. And for your tent I vote the name Jade or Ginger.
The view from the tent!! Absolutely stunning, reminds me of one of the locations in the last but one HP film where they're camping.
I absolutely love these videos, the spooky story added so much
I'm only about 8 minutes in and it's already so beautiful. I'm sad I'll have to go to bed soon since it's nearly 11:30 PM in Nigeria but I'll continue tomorrow! I'm glad you decided to start this channel. It's great to see beautiful sites like this, even if on a phone screen
Another stunning tour. So inspiring. This makes me want to get out there and share a little slice of my country with the world.
This was so so lovely!! Thank you for sharing your adventures. I cant wait until the next one. 🫶
teagan the tent is my suggestion! loved this video, your hiking/camping/somethinginnatureing videos are always fabulous ❤perfect with a cup of tea (or two)
So that is an English moor...it's made a nice contrast to your other showings. In fact there were a lot of variations in the moor itself, the craggy areas, the wooded parts, sweeps without a tree for miles, the lake, the boggy swamp, so many little brooks. The sky is so much more a factor in the open areas, and there were some lovely clouds that day. I love it when I can stand on a relatively high point and see the clouds sweeping by. I just seem to get a feel of the vastness of the earth and sky.
I've seen pictures of the stone circles before. They are very intriguing. I never realized they have the row opf standing stones that look like they're guiding the way to them? Is that unique to just this one? It looked like they stretched along your path for quite a way. How helpful to use an ancient wayfaring method that is still here to this very day. The ruin seemed to have had actual walls, so I doubt it could've been a quarry for the stones. Princetown seemed to almost be a part of the moor. Hope your roast beef was delish.
Please keep them coming, Aden!
What a beautiful place. I would really love to be able to visit places like this. And I took one look at your tent and immediately thought she was definitely an Astrid. lol
Oh Aden what a wonderful, warm and witty soul you are. Thank you for another lovely hike video. It’s feels so much like we’re all there with you. The glow worm telling us a spooky story was very funny. Xx
Another comment now that I finished the video. Tent name suggestion: Tamara. I'm so proud of you for your first solo wild camping! Glad it wasn't scary. And maybe a build video suggestion: since you stayed at that beautiful converted-prison hotel and we got to see a bit of Dartmoor Prision, you could do a build based on those, and turn them into apartments!
can't wait to watch later 💙
Leeet's goooo. I'm getting snacks and some tea!!! 🍿☕🙌
It's so great seeing you have such a great time camping. Seeing you setup your camp was amazing. You do it in such a practiced way, too! May I suggest for your long distance hikes you break the content into parts and upload them separately. I hope you stay well.
Oh I will be! The Cotswold Way videos will be done in 5(ish) parts I would imagine
Oh perfect timming! I was feeling really shit these last days cause I've been sick, today I woke up a little better and then you upload this to help me even more.
Glad you're feeling better Jess!
@@AdenWanders thank you, my dear!
Fantastic work Aden! Love the music and your sound is great! And the view is stunning in 4k!!! How lovely it would be to see drone shots but imagine if everyone was setting their drones all at the same time. Would totally ruin the ambience. Your tent is Dora ;)
Watching this with my egg and soldiers xx
Yum!
❤❤❤
This was absolutely gorgeous. I loved where you camped. It was so beautiful the sunset and everything. And yeah I could see why other people would want to be up there too because it seems like such a great spot. Just a whole trail with beautiful and to be able to go around and hike without worrying about some crazy person coming out of the woods and killing you. So that's the beauty of not being in the States!! 😂
That little foal!! I'd die for him
I’ve always been really scared of Dartmoor. It’s always been a spooky place in my mind. Probably from reading Hound of the Baskervilles and other novels featuring moors like Jamaica Inn. This has shown me that it’s not all bad 😊 another great video 😊 Still scared of bogs and mires though…
The thing you said you didn’t know what it looked like with what you thought was concrete made me think of an old barn.
This made me want to move to Devon right this second!!
Loved this video, made me want to head out onto the moors. Been a while since I've done a hike up there. Burrator is one of my favourites 🙂 I had a friend who lived in Princetown and we went out there on NYE one year. We went outside at midnight and you could hear the inmates at Dartmoor prison cheering and banging against the bars. It was super eerie!
Oh I’m so glad to be able to watch this before I go to sleep 🎉
Gorgeous video yet again and stunning views! You sitting in your tent in the dark looking like a ‘glow worm’ aka condom just made my day! 😂 can’t wait for more ❤
Love it 😍
The little brown pony towards the end was so cute!!! Lovely video Aden ❤
Amazing video my friend! Absolutely stunning, and well done on completing your first solo wild camp!
P.s. I think you should name the tent Theresa 😂
Thank you for blessing my screen with this lovely video!!! ❤️❤️❤️ loved it
I love these vlogs. So wholesome 😊 🥰
We are sooo lucky to live on the edge of 2 beautiful National Parks -I live a short drive from The Lake District..I now want to visit Dartmoor -what an amazing place..❤️
Tried to come up with a funny name for your tent and I didn't get any further than Antoitennte, cleary I need to work on my comedy skills.... Anyway, I could watch this channel all day. Thanks for taking us with you
TWISTER!😂 Every once in a while when my family and I drive somewhere and see cows we use the quote as well!😋
I was looking forward to this! Definitely makes me want to do a wild camp one day when I'm able to do so. Dartmoor is so beautiful and even though you only did one story it was still an enjoyable hike/camp to watch! And I think you should call the tent Bertha
It has to be Bertha, that's perfect lol
I have no idea why but when you said your tent needed a name, immediately the name Maggie popped in my head which in turn makes me think of sassy Maggie Smith.
Such gorgeous giraffes ❤
Jokes aside, this is just lovely, adore seeing you living your best life ❤
Ooooh, my goth, that chuuuurch!!! 😍
What a soulful video. I loved your blogs and Im loving these videos too ❤ So relaxing and making me want to get out on a hike. Doris has to be the name for your tent
Brilliant presentation man, shots and your story are unmatched!
Tent name suggestions: Pamela, Peggy, Beatrice and Ruth.
Been looking forward to this for ages, would love to visit Dartmoor at some point. All I can hear is your heavy breathing Aden lol x
I've never been to Dartmoor before but it looks so gorgeous!
We all love a "weird, natural, boggy pond thing!" 🤣 Absolutely loved this bebbesss! 🩶
I should write for Nat Geo luv 💅
We’d make a right pair of terrible tour guides ‘what did those pile of rocks/stones used to be?’ ….’well it was certainly something’ 😂
Thank you for the wonderful glimpse into Dartmoor, I could have sat and meditated in that stone circle for hours 😊 reminded me of the first time I visited stone henge (before all the fencing was put up)
