  • Great Mis Tor, shrouded in cloud when my son and I camped at the top, may have lacked the views but didn't lack the atmosphere, though I am unsure how well that really translates to this video log! Second outing of the Fjallraven Abisko Lite 1, and William used the Jack Wolfskin Gossamer 2. Drones are banned on Dartmoor so no aerial B roll, sorry!

    looks a great spot that. Love the look on your sons face when you were talking! But dont worry about whether people find it exciting or not. if you are enjoying it, other people will too.

      Interesting point, thank you! I think it was the photographer in me wanting to present viewers with a sunset or sunrise. That said, it was my second wild camp and I am addicted. Thanks again for your continuing influence; I look up to the wild camping gods (mainly yourself, Linleys360, Camplife Bushcraft, Gaziano and Messener!)

    Hi Hedley, Well that was good fun not boring at all. I didnt know about the current residents at HMP Princetown, those poor sheep!!
    The other day I found my Ten Tors Dartmoor map and I had a quick look and can see that we did pass through Great Mis Tor on our way between Roos Tor and Beardown Tor. Perhaps they dont give these maps out these days you get an app or something.
    Well done for getting out there. Would highly recommend ten Tors to your son.
    All the best!!

      Ten Tors sounds fun! I absolutely love Dartmoor. Roos Tor sounds appealing?

      Hi Gary, thanks. It is the Fjallraven Abisko Lite 1 - very similar to both the Enan and Akto.

    As a committed non-camper, I have long thought that if I were to wild camp - which I never will - I’d do it by some rocks for shelter and useful work surfaces. But since this is not going to happen, it’s neither here tor there.
    I liked the special thing that takes tents down. Is that available on the Mimo app?

    Love the shoe hack! Never seen that one. And look at that bloody mess you left. Exactly why wild camping on Dartmoor needs to be banned. My good friend Darwall was right. We can't be trusted.

    Looked like great fun!. It didn't bore me.. I learned something about Dartmoor.. back in the 80s I was one of those army guys running around Dartmoor.. was too busy to stop and learn things about the place , so my knowledge is sadly lacking.. May I ask what tent your son was using?? It looked like a wild country!!! Can't remember what it was called now. I am sure it had tri in the name... Take care out there.

      Thanks!! To be fair, I loved it there so much that I really want to go back (though it will be at the expense of going somewhere else in Dartmoor) - that may be the excuse that I need.
