- I'm in the south west of England for this one, 2 million visitors a year & wild roaming ponies!
I plan on wild camping in all 15 of the UK's national parks, this time it was Exmoor; 10 down 5 to go.

The way these are edited together and something about your character gives these videos a real calming serine presence, keep doing you man!
That solar powered pony milker was a nice find.
that apple looked like a golden delicious to me as granny smith apples are dark greener in colour
Welcome to Devon. Dartmoor is also full of ponies wondering around.
Also parts of the Gower
it'll be interesting to see where he camps on Dartmoor - so many nice Tors to visit. I'd recommend Fur Tor for an adventure. I'm planning to hike from Okehampton to Ivybridge one day and camp.
You were spot on Liam that was a weather station with British standard rain gauges, great video as always
I lived in the UK for 4 years and know basically none of the areas you got to. So your videos are a great way for me to catch up on what I should have seen! 😎
I've been here since birth (31) years and haven't seen them. Need to get my ass in gear.
Mate I've lived in the UK my life and don't know most these places.
thanks martin

unfortunately, to many visitors London is the UK. Shame really as its the worst part. I can say that as an ex londoner now living in the beautiful countryside close to where this video is filmed.
Liam Brown, I can't believe you put clotted cream in tea! Wrong on every level!! 😂😂 another excellent video, cheers 👍🏻
If you had a couple miles walk to Dunkery Beacon, you were in Somerset the whole time, and might explain the lack of anything Devon.
Been binging these, absolutely love them. inspires me to go out and hike myself!
Yes Liam you bloody legend!
Nice scones, jam and clotted cream, can't beat it!
Well done, live your life to the max.
Most chilled lad on TH-cam, love your videos mate
The ponies are magical
Been here from the Army days and as expected you set out and achieved what you wanted.
But even if there was no TH-cam, you would still be doing you, absolutely love the content, stay safe mate, cannot wait to binge the rest. Love you lad, have a brilliant adventure.
Im actually loving this series, i wanna start camping myself, once I get my car license sorted
You don't need a car licence to camp.
@@oaga71625e i know I don’t but having a car will be alot easily to leave in a village for security compared to my motorbike

@@firstnamesurname5376 I’m 67 and have never driven. I’ve never even had a driving lesson. This obsession with cars is environmentally unsound. There is such a thing as public transport.
Ayyy! Exmoor and Dartmoor are my closet parks! I live in Torquay so literally a stones throw!
Been looking forward to this one and Dartmoor! Hope you have a good time mate! Enjoy it bro!
Dartmoor is huge compared to exmoor! More wildlife to!
Definitely agree Dartmoor is much better. I live on it so I get to see the beautiful landscape every day.
I’m sorry you live in Torquay :p ha only joking

@@kelanjames3488 I’m not. It suvks. Not the place it used to be when I grew up.
Really enjoying this series Liam! I notice the jam is from good old Essex - the best jam you can get! :) We had the same experience with an airbed when camping in the South of France once, it got so hot in the tent during the day, the stitching burst at the bottom and ballooned up. We had to sleep that night with out feet about a foot higher than our heads!
Thanks, Liam, thanks for taking us along! If you ever get lost in the wilderness, Search and Rescue will find you be your bright yellow sneakers. If I come to the UK from South Africa, that's how I'll recognise you.
I'm loving your video's Liam, I have pretty much binge watched them today, they've got me through a long day at work! I have to say though, in every video watching you cook your meals has made me increasingly hungry, and now I have food envy!
You're doing life right my friend.
Another great adventure strange clouds in the sky on some parts of your adventure
Another banger Liam 👍 Looking forward to what you get up on Dartmoor 😃
Looking forward to South Downs and New Forest. I was in the Forest camping over Easter. It will be interesting to see where you go! And you're right, it's always busy, unfortunately.
Great video - I would be cautious about lighting fires in wild spaces though as it becomes very difficult to leave ‘no trace’ - if you do your research you’ll see that Scotland particularly Lomond is blighted by people camping and lighting fires and that it is in fact forbidden in some areas.
Kill joy!
Thank you Liam Brown😊
Hi Liam. I am not a troll as I love all you work and have been watching it all of for over a year now. You do an excellent job and are an good ambassador for our great outdoors. I will however nitpick on this occasion over the fact that you was not in Devon but in SOMERSET! Devon starts at least 8 miles to the west. Only saying this as I live in Somerset and love exmoor. Cornish/Devon clotted cream and scones might be alright on bodmin moor or Dartmoor but in Somerset some proper cheddar cheese and a bottle of cider would have hit the mark. Looking forward to more of your adventures. Stay safe.
6.11 miles from Dunkery Beacon summit to nearest part of Devon (as the crow flies though)
I stand corrected but have just spent quite some time with OS explorer map exmoor trying to find the boundary but it is 1/2 k off it. So trying to work from the OS app I found it difficult to be accurate but couldn't be to 2 decimal places. Can I ask how you measured it? I know google maps have distance calculator between dropped pins for the USA and I'm not sure if they do UK County boundaries. What's the answer?
Wading through all of your vlogs Liam and i have enjoyed everyone of them so far.
Looking forward to the Southdowns Park, that’s my local so it will be interesting to see where you camp.
Another great trip. Thank you so much. Cheers from Washington State.
As you were in Devon, it's a good job you did cream first! 👍 I love Exmoor. My family are from there, owned a few farms, still own one. As well as the moors the wooded valleys, especially the East Lyn are absolutely stunning. Loving your National Park challenge videos.
How relaxing the ambient noise is in your videos inspired me on a big hike in the new forest recently to take quiet moments and embrace the sounds, I guess I did do that before but this most recent time really appreciated it
Love your videos - you are so positive about what you do.
Yeah what you mentioned about the baffles popping are the welds ungluing.. it happened the same to my Neoair but on the head section..had to sleep with my legs hanging over or around the huge bulg for 2 nights until ultralight sent me replacement but as they didn’t have it I went for the Exped 3 ultra with vertical baffles and not had an issue with it after 40 off nights sleep and counting.. the neoair only lasted a week! Apparently the vertical baffles are more resistant to them ungluing aka popping! Lol
Jam first , then the cream ...the proper way 😂
Nooooo your in Devon cream first
Hi Liam. doing the Sandstone Way next week with my Brother after seeing your great video,s keep up the good work Gerry.
5:04 damn you committed to that scene 😳
He uses a drone mate
Great spot out on the moors and a bonus with the views & the Exmoor Pony.
That pork steak & apple looked lush.
Can’t wait to see what you’re up to next. Thank you for taking us along, haven’t been camping for a few years but I used to love just laying there watching the stars.
X💕
I’ll say it in a different way, ooh nice stripes in the skies., top lad love your videos, keep them coming,
Love Exmoor, Exmoor Gold is extremely nice, especially at the Rising Sun in Lynmouth with a dish of their mussels in white wine sauce with crusty bread and butter.......yum
In Mongolia (i believe, might also be the Himalayas) they put yak butter in tea so clotted cream isn’t so strange.
Great video Liam. Dartmoor actively encourage wild camping 👌
If u think exmore is good wait for dartmoor its beautiful and there are a lot more pony's they're quite common
Cracking vids Liam, looking forward to seeing what you think of Dartmoor!
My favourite part of this video was the wide variety of trees.
Only joking 😉 love the Moors and your videos. Keep it up!
Thanks 😊
Liam! Another excellent video!
Good stuff, Liam. Looking forward to Dartmoor for sure. 🙂👍
LIAM KEEP THESE VIDS COMING THE SOUTH DOWNS MIGHT BE A SURPRISE I WALKED THEM IN 1966
I live in the New Forest! Am excited for that one :p
Exmoor looks so beautiful. We would love to do a similar challenge but here in Oz we have over 600 national parks, we'll still make a fair dent in thought.
Wow! is wild camping league in Oz? I'd imagine it's a lot more dangerous as well?
Welcome to the motherland Liam - glad you enjoyed it and yes Exmoor Gold is a great drop !
Greetings from Washington.
Like your videos 👍
I enjoy all things outdoors as well!
Coffee and clotted cream another luxury.
Simplifying life.. The nail on the head springs to mind. Food drink tastes so much better outside . Stunning views there Liam. Dartmoor next
North more remote than south. Haytor area generally very busy
You should be inundated with Dartmoor ponies wherever you go. Thanks for sharing
I’m with so many other commentators - love your videos! I’m in the US and making my list of places to visit in the UK!
just for reference Liam, wars have been faught between the Cornish and the Devonians when it comes to cream teas. so as not to make aa faux pas you need to know that in Devon the clotted cream goes on the scone first with jam on top and in Cornwall it's done the correct way jam goes on first with cream on top. And the idea is not to make them in to a sandwich but keep them as four halves, that way you get to enjoy twice as much jam and twice as much cream. If you haven't made it over the border in to Cornwall yet you really should as there are some equally stunning places although you need to keep an eye out for the beast of Bodmin moor.
You don’t need to carry around loads of seasoning but some garlic salt or seasoning salt would be easy enough 😂!!! Stay safe!! Mmm those scones looked delicious!!
The whole jar of jam but no salt😭😭!
@@elliebee43 I would just collect the paper packets for free 😂
Nice one liam mate 👍🏼 loving the content keep up the good stuff
Nice video. Thanks. You were actually in Somerset.....
Brilliant, thanks for another great video.
Your zest for life, adventure and simple pleasures are as infectious as omicron!
Oh and Loch lomond will be a great adventure, there's some beautiful wooded walks and views across the water on the quiet side (where the main road isn't) we camped on the shore of the Loch about 20 years ago. Absolutely beautiful.
I needed that mate. 30 minute's away from the BS that's going on. Hoping to take myself away for a month in my campervan. The Scottish Borders are calling me.👍
Nice one, I have a large painting on my wall of the view from Dunkery Beacon looking down towards Porlock, great stuff.
I did a 3 day hike through Dartmoor wildcamping at the foot of hills last August. Just next to Exemore i guess. Dartmoor is Pretty terrifying. I had a book with me and it said that the wild poneys havent been truely wild for a while as they are controlled in reproducing, marked and owned (i am not 100% but it does stick in my memory so). But this doesnt take the magic away of seeing these herds in the middle of nowhere…
You should have headed for malmsmead, Badgerworthy Water or Dulverton on the Exe to camp rather than the high ground.
Doing my first solo hike next Monday in the Peak District. I have a feeling it won’t be my last
Making me jealous Liam, I really want to head back to the UK and do some walks. In Australia for a while
please keep on making these videos liam i love them! dont stop bro
Excellent mind set keep it up.👍
Great video!
You’re gonna love Dartmoor.
Recommend Dartmoor Brewery Jale Ale
Enjoying your channel great job.
cream first - good man!
Like the video. Being your so close to Dunkery Hill your technically still in Somerset so Cider should have been the drink of choice, None of these fizzy ones, a proper scrumpy still and cloudy.
Exactly. In fact most of Exmoor is in Somerset and not in Devon.
I don't tolerate dairy well so I use, what we call in the US, Heavy Whipping Cream in my tea as it is mostly fat and well digested.
The full fat cream with tea is how Bulletproof coffee got started. The guy went trekking in Tibet and all the yak herders had a cup of strong tea and yak butter every morning for warmth and energy.. He adapted it to butter and coconut oil and now you’ve invented the Devon “Combine Harvester” Brew.
Every day's a school day.. thanks for the info
I was given yak butter tea in northern India in a Tibetan home..it was pretty foul but I persevered to the amusement of my hosts
You were in Somerset, by the way (walking to and back from Dunkery).
Love it. Are u doing the New forest next? It's on my doorstep, amazing place!
Can almost see my house from there 😉 just across the Bristol channel over in South Wales 👍 always wondered where the hills across the Channel were
Growing up in Devon we would always avoid Exmoor as dull scenery. Dartmoor much more beautiful. Yr podcast of wlk across lake district Yorkshire moors was excellent. Keep them coming.
I’m From Bridgwater about 20 mile from there lovely views
Great video 🙂👍
Beautiful place exmoor
In the next episode ……. Jamie Oliver comes out from nowhere and joins you in the most epic cooking segment ever! 🤣🤣🤣
Really loving this series liam
God bless u Liam your videos are great and u are an inspiration to many.keep up the good work pal 💪
Loving it Liam, being a Devonshire lad, I love Cream Tea's, though I always insist that the Scones are cheese scones as I don't like what appear to be dead flies (currents) in my Scones! lol Mind you I like Cornish Clotted Cream more than Devonshire!
I’m loving these videos on the UK National Parks, great showing the UK at its best. Btw you’d have been better with a cooking apple to make apple sauce with your pork, rather than a dessert apple.
great video you mentioned about milk get to b and m and you can get a try of travel milks in those little tubs
I think that is a golden delicious apple
Great video showing amazing views - thank you
Hi Liam, love your content mate.
Quick question!- outside of perhaps the obvious, what would you consider some essential pieces of kit/items for people looking to start their own expiditions out there?
Cheers!
Make sure you put the cream and jam on the Scone in the right order as it's different from Devon and Cornwall🤷♂️ I know completely mad! Dartmoor better than Exmoor!
Brilliant, cheers :) Atb from Norway
You should go to the Caledonian pine Forest it's classified as ancient natural woodland it's oldest bit of Forest.
I think that I wild camped in more or less the same spot on my Lands End to john O groats trip in 2019 to mark my retirement from the Navy. Enjoy your vids mate but i think some of the photography aspects would drive me wild!
So when is the walk the parameter, of the UK project?
Only about 6000 miles :O
Another good video bud.
Liam, I don't know if your visiting the new forest in the future, but there are loads of wild pony's there. Keep up the good work 👍
Great videos really enjoy them keep up the good work
Looking forward to watching this
so exmoor exists! I've never been able to find it :D - love Lynmouth/Lynton though
