    Great video. For us old guys who don't know how to use the internet.
    Us old retired folks appreciate at little help thank you .

    Great tips. My mental stumbling block is always leaving the car somewhere safe. Daft as it sounds I never thought of using street view to check ahead. D'oh - everyday's a school day.

    Excellent video. I learned a lot. As an OAP, I started backpacking before the internet. My technique for finding wild pitches and ridges which might offer scrambling was to pore over the OS maps. I feel it helped me with my navigation skills by helping me link topography with its map representation so possibly still worth doing.

    Many thanks Paul, that is one of the most interesting vids I've seen for a while. Cheer and enjoy the coffee.

    thanks mate, you really brought me a huge step forward. I'm planning to hike and wildcamp since 2 years.It didn't work out for private reasons till now but I was always dreaming and researching the topic in the meantime. Especially finding routes in a highly inhabitited area was really difficult for me. But with your posibility of looking up the images on gmaps really opened me a new way of thinking. thanks for that hint. you made a lot of my days.

    Thanks Paul, thats such great information.
    I’ve been planning the first wild camp with my son all winter.
    Let’s hope we all can get outside again before the end of the summer, and this terrible illness is cured.
    Stay safe and well to you and your family.

    Great video Paul, just the tutorial I was looking for. I am 62 now and you have inspired me to think about wild camping. Just for information, you can turn the magic os map from black and white to colour by clicking the os colour map check box on the left hand side.

  • @lesliewilson7262
    @lesliewilson7262 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Another great video Paul. It was great to know how you pick a spot and where to park. That's always been my trouble, heading off then where do you stop. I will definitely use this method in the future. Keep up the good work and I'll look forward to your next instalment. ATB 👍🏻👍🏻

  • @LWag9
    @LWag9 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great watch, very informative ! I've had my Med cruise in April cancelled, a family week in Ibiza in May gone, summer 2 weeks in Tenerife July gone. I live in Newcastle and normally spend 2-3 weekends in Keswick (B&B) a year, but I used to camp back in the day. I have a motorbike so parking not so secure, but you've inspired to spend my summer 2 weeks either in the Lakes (crowded in July and more so this year) or Northumberland (probably crowded this year too) 'Go outdoors' is 0.3 miles away. Thanks for sharing !

    Useful video, thanks. It shouldn't be forgotten that there are many great wild camping locations that can be reached by train/bus removing the complication of having to find somewhere to park up (and having to drive home afterwards, possibly tired).

    The Google maps tips, especially re' parking are pure genius. With somewhere new, I normally look at my OS map and just turn upand hope for the best. It isn't ideal as there is always a nagging doubt at the back of my mind that I'm going to have issues. I'm a bit of a muppet with technology so I'll do some practising! Best wishes, Chris.
