Tarp and Bivy on an old Northumberland Hill Fort
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 พ.ค. 2024
- After a late start I headed up to the Collage valley, and after a short walk I pitched on an old hill fort,
It was a misty old camp with limited views later on.
I forgot to mention condensation in the video,
In the morning I had a very fine bit of wetness around the foot box and up too half way in the bivy.
Not as ventilated as the hooped bivy.
But I have yet to do a really damp camp in the hooped one.

100% correct on tarps + bivy = comfy + views.
Hi and thanks for watching
Another tarp and bivy man
Cheers
Lovely views, as you say you can just sit at look at them all day. Looked lovely and peaceful, great set up. Fantastic way to spend a Friday night. 👍
Hi Phil and thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed the views, it was nice watching the weather, I feel asleep early on this one !!!
Friday night sleep catch up lol
Cheers
Spot on mate , great camp spot for the views , thanks Adrian atb Deka 👍🏻👌🏻💯
Hi Deka thanks for watching
Glad you enjoyed it
Cheers
Lovely views on that panorama Adrian, really like the subtle colours. Smashing pitch you had, I think I can guess which Hill fort- but not too sure! Graham 👍👍
Hi Graham, thanks for watching, it was a lovely evening watching the weather come in, proves you don’t need to walk far.
Cheers
I am really enjoying your videos sir, I like your Tarp and bivy setups, lots of Ideas for my own setup with the same tarp s thanks again
Hi and thanks for watching
Glad you enjoy the videos
Cheers
Nice pitch. The Exped pad looks comfortable with the baffles. Looked peaceful out there.
Hi and thanks for watching, peaceful camp, did not see a soul, I prefer the vertical channels of an Exped mat.
Cheers from the uk
Cracking spot to get the tarp on Adrian 👍, shame about all that clag rolling in the morning, the views did look great earlier too, atb Mick 👍
Hi Mick, yes it’s a cracking spot, it was nice to watch the weather come in on the evening.
Cheers Adrian
Lovely camp out Adrian .great video. I’m a tarp and bivi wild camper too. Lovin the freedom!Dave🇬🇧🫡
Hi and thanks for watching
Glad you enjoy the videos and the bivy camps
Cheers
I remember having to camp with a tarp only no bivi bag bag in the 80’s, manageable but much better with an army bivi bag
Hi and thanks for watching
Can’t imagine the wet if you had no bivy
Cheers
Nice one Adrian, lovely pitch , I’ve never camped on that one before but walked it a few times. 👍
Hi Shaun, it’s a great little spot , so peaceful just watching the weather.
Hope you are on the mend
Cheers Adrian
A midge net for the head - I'd best have a look at that one! I've just ordered a bivy bag off Amazon and didn't even consider the midges, good job I watch these films.
Hi and thanks for watching, if in a bivy you may also net a midge cover for your bivy, I use one on one of my lough camps, when the midge were horrendous
Cheers
Nice one Adrian , I was also out last night but I was above the clag line . We definitely don’t have a dry climate and will always end up with high moisture 😂 atb Dave
Hi Dave, it’s certainly damp over here and more so up our end of the Uk I did suffer slight moisture up to half way in the bivy,very slight mind,
I need to try the hooped bivy in the severe damp nights as I think it will win out of all the bivy’s I use,
Cheers
Cracking as always, I say it all the time, but, you make tarp and bivi camping appealing, yeah the clag was in heavy again last night, got some great inversion pictures, was out on the border wall again, thanks for sharing ATB
I believe tree cover really is the best for less condensation . But You are the best bivvy camper I've learned from on TH-cam inspiring me to bivvy anywhere and enjoy amazing views. P.S - was the footbox dry in the morning?
Hi and thanks for watching, I forgot to mention the damp and have put it in the description,
Slightly damp sleeping bag from foot box up to half way, I have this bivy cinched in so not so much air flow,
Will try the hooped one in the damp soon enough
Cheers
Nice pitch A.
Hi and thanks for watching
Glad you liked it
Cheers
Great set up and I keep learning every time I watch your vids. I'm due a tarp night out. Might do a midweeker. That fog got burnt off around 8am. I ran the dog up near Easter Tor from Wooler. Cheers.
Hi and thanks for watching , glad you liked it, ran up ! That’s some feat !!
Cheers
It’s so useful seeing your gear and tarp set up. Would be interested to know if the army bivi had wet condensation inside as I know your Dutch hooped bivi is your favourite for dryness.
Hi and thanks for watching, I forgot to mention the damp, I have now put it in the description,
Slightly damp sleeping bag at the foot box extending up to half way,
Mind I have this bivy cinched in so not so much ventilation, I will try the hooped one on a damp night soon enough
Cheers
I still can’t get over the views of the English countryside. What a beautiful place! Also enjoyed that tarp configuration - hadn’t seen it before. Thanks for sharing & Cheers from USA!🇺🇸
Hi and thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it,it is green and pleasant over here, but hey you have much more all those national parks and trails
Cheers
What a beautiful part of the country. High and nice seeing the clouds pass. Good set up.
Hi and thanks for watching, glad you liked it, we have loads of places up here to go,quite in comparison.
Cheers
Hi and thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it, can’t beat a tarp and bivy, unless the midges are out in swarms then a tent wins !!!
Cheers
Would liked to have seen you pitched that one, it's a new set up to me
Hi and thanks for watching, asymmetrical Holden pitch, good because you can quickly modify it by bringing the foot lifter to the front and make a normal two pole shelter, sure there are lots of excellent examples online, I had it quite high so to let the breeze through.
Cheers
You managed to do it again for us.....just returned from a short job away and you have such a great video waiting for us. You certainly find some good spots and we agree about bivi camping....it is certainly better in the majority of locations,not just for the views, but also the ease of pitching and the versatility of a flat tarp. Thank you for sharing this video, stay well, stay safe and have good holidays. Helen and Katarin Juska-Law and Terri with Robyn.
Hi and thanks for watching, don’t forget you helped put me onto the army bivy a long time ago, missed your comments on the last 4 videos,
Yes you can’t beat a tarp and bivy
Cheers
@@northumberlandmountainhopper Sorry about the lack of comments, we have watched the missed ones now, but when working have no opportunity to view YT or any other social media....all way to insecure. Cheers, ATB to you all...hope you have a good time away.
Look forward to a Saturday visit to the Cheviots with you from here in Norfolk. The College valley must look quite different after storm Arwen took the trees. I was up on the tors and hare law last year and the forestry people were felling where I descended.
I have some pictures I took in May a few years back and the gorse in bloom along the valley floor was so beautiful.
Thanks for sharing your trip Adrian.
Hi and thanks for watching, yes the Cheviots are so nice, I should camp all over but I am spoilt with what’s close
Cheers
If you did that hill a few years ago you wouldn't of had the view's as there was trees around it .. great video on my favourite hill
Hi again, when I did loft hill next to it it was hidden by the trees, makes the walking hard
Cheers
@@northumberlandmountainhopperihi yeah it was the same when we went then this fort it was terrible
@@northumberlandmountainhopper th-cam.com/video/8D3dWCEPusQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Ms1X1LLexlPSff12
@@northumberlandmountainhopper there's no sound as I put some music on it that I couldn't play copyright lol
No sound ? I never put music on my videos
Cracking video as always Adrian, look forward to your videos, do you feel any different vibes camping in the ancient hill forts at all?, think I'll be heading to afew of the hillforts if I can make it up that high, good health and safe travels my friend, cheers craig
Hi Craig and thanks for watching, person don’t feel anything when in ruins, not to say I won’t one day ? The forts in this valley are an easy walk but a stiff short climb, I find the hills harder each time !! What’s it like as you get really old ? It is a worry so you have to enjoy when you can.
Cheers
nice one
Hi and thanks for watching glad you enjoyed it
Cheers
Adrian, what’s your view on the British Army Basha coming in at 2lb 5oz, and 8’3” x 6’11”. Looks a good size, good quality, and good price.? I am thinking of getting one. Interested to know if you ever tried one.? Currently using an army poncho much smaller at a heavier 2lb 18oz, and smaller at 6’9” x 5’.
Hi and thanks for watching, sorry I have no experience of it, I have a dd tarp of 3x3 and don’t really use that as it’s much heavier than the super light ones at 790gr, although I do think it gives a better pitch being thicker, so can imagine the army ones would be same.sorry I can’t help.
Cheers
It's a pig to get up there isn't it 😂😂
Hi and thanks for watching, I take it you know it’s sharp and steep !
Nice spot though
Cheers
@@northumberlandmountainhopper oh yes I did in winter lol
What is the make of your tarp?
Hi and thanks for watching
Hope you enjoy the videos
This tarp is the dd super light tarp S
