- A return trip to a favourite new location, tried a different pitch to try out the Dutch army Hooped Bivy,
New cooker also tested
Border Raider, speedster stove. I got the bits to go with my Alpkit myti mug 650 and to be honest it’s a cracking bit of kit.
As usual a very windy camp with rain thrown in !
All kit performs great with no condensation at all.

For people who don’t know it, the Cheviots is as remote as you can get in a small country with a large population like England. It’s the least visited of the National Parks, it’s not especially picturesque like the Lakes, Dales etc, there are no close centres of population and the weather is usually bad. But it’s lonesome and peaceful and great for those of us who think other people are greatly overrated
Hi and thanks for watching
Could not have said it better you certainly get the views along with peace and quiet
Cheers
Do you see snakes
@@kawthoolei942hi and thanks for watching, I wish !! Saw a lizard once, snakes populate the Cheviots but I have never seen one
Cheers
@@kawthoolei942 I have seen adders. They are venemous but not very dangerous. I don’t think anyone has been killed by one for over a century. If you are close to one they are likely to slither off before you see them
A mí me parece un sitio bonito @@northumberlandmountainhopper
I love that part of the Cheviots. It amazes me how different the character of each of the Cheviot valley is. Lovely to hear the birdsong. Thank you for sharing again.
Hi and thanks for watching, yes each area appears different, this side has trees and rolling views, just love it,
Cheers
Hi and thanks for watching, yes I do have some nice spots to camp at, the mountain warehouse bivy is similar in performance to the Alpkit hunka, if you sleep hot and cinch it down, reducing ventilation you just have to put up with a bit of damp on the sleeping bag, not a problem on one night bivy camps, you just dry it off ready for the next one, the army don’t have inflatable mats as not sturdy enough !!
Cheers
You're a real inspiration, can't wait to be back up in Northumberland, also love that little stove 👍cheers atb.
Hi and thanks for watching glad you enjoyed it, Northumberland / Cheviots are so unspoiled.
Stove well worth it.
Cheers
You are so fortunate to be close to such a beautiful landscape
Hi and thanks for watching, yes Northumberland lets me reach many unspoiled spots within the hour, many nice places in the UK we are fortunate.
Cheers
@@northumberlandmountainhopper Britain is truly beautiful
As a matter of interest, where abouts are you? Surely you cant be too far from somewhere nice?
@@oscar38 south east England. There are some beautiful areas but the further up the country you go the more the landscape changes. We have nothing like the video shows down this way.
@@oscar38I live in Northumberland. The Cheviots can be reached in 40 mins
Cheers
Hi and thanks for watching, I have never used the fuel blocks,I do find the sprits make a mess of your cups etc
Hope you enjoy the videos
Cheers
I can't afford the kit I want, I want Goretex bag or Goretex hooped bivvi, but I've ordered a Mountain Warehouse bivvy for £25, with a 3 season sleeping bag (Trail) for £20 from Amazon, and I have a piece of parachute and some washing line for a tarp. I can't afford a blow up mat either but a pal has given me a military sleeping mat. I'm pretty robust but not using a mat to sleep on hurt me for days last time I was out! Your camps look so great that I just got to have a go, I'm the other side of 50 years old, so the light weight kit appeals to me, but the price of some of the kit is scary. You camp in wonderful places _ i love these films, brilliant.
What a beautiful view!
I hope to visit some day!
Wonderful video.
Hi and thanks for watching
Glad you enjoyed it
Where are you based
Cheers
Beautifully done. Another belter of a camp.
Hi and thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it,
Cheers
Bostin camp again, looks like you had a very peaceful time even if it was a bit damp.
Hi and thanks for watching
Glad you enjoyed it
It was a chilled camp, listening to the rain and lying back,
Cheers
I grew up on the edge of the Cheviots & my parents are buried in a village graveyard on the lower hills.
Hi and thanks for watching, that’s great, I wonder did you enjoy all the exploration or grow tired of the weather as a child, I just love it around Northumberland and the Cheviots in particular for the quietness of it
Cheers
Hi mick, thanks for watching, yes it’s some spot, and so quiet, convert now on the alcohol stove, now I have such a good one,
Cheers Adrian
Cracking video Adrian, stunning scenery, cant wait till I come up there, dutch army hooped bivvy definitely sounds like a winner for sure, cool stove setup too, good health and safe travels, cheers craig
Hi Craig and thanks for watching, yes the army hooped bivy stopped the condensation I suffered when I tried the Elan bivy, on the last camp,obviously the goretex type material works for me,
Can’t praise the stove enough
It’s a beautiful spot for sure
Cheers Adrian
Another cracking video. Always look forward to a new one landing. Bivy, hooped or otherwise, and tarp always!👍🏻
Hi and thanks for watching, yes Tarp and Bivy every time, open bivy is my preference but the hooped one really does stop the draughts, only second time with a hooped one. But certainly warmer round the neck, I also leave the hood open to enjoy the air.
Cheers
Top tip on the stove Adrian! Love this very chilled vid
Hi and thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it, just try to relax on a camp
Cheers
Good stuff.
I love Speedster Stoves, great bits of kit. I use bioethanol instead of meths - get it in B&Q.
Hi and thanks for watching, yes the stove is great, next time I pass b and q I will have a look,
Cheers
Great video…. Loved the set up
Hi and thanks for watching
Glad you enjoyed it
Cheers
Spot on Adrian, the new bivy looks a cracker, and the speedster stove looks great, I prefer an alcohol stove too, gas is good, but there’s something about the alcohol stoves, more quiet and relaxing, I don’t mind waiting an extra 5 mins, I’m never in a rush when I’m camping anyway, cracking location, plenty of options up on the border mate, atb Mick 👍
Hi mick your reply from me seems to be separate to your comment !!!
Great tarp pitch, and a great video as usual.
Hi and thanks for watching
Glad you enjoyed it
Cheers
just came across your channel, think you were with a buddy last time I saw a video, not sure, this was an awesome video introduction for me, great views, love the woods in the valley and tarp set up, and amazing lamp coverage, thanks for sharing, liked and subbed
Hi and thanks for coming along, hope you enjoy the videos
Can’t beat a tarp it gets you more into nature I feel
Cheers
Most definitely and on starry night must be fantastic views@@northumberlandmountainhopper
Great camp as always, Ade. Loved the spot. You can't beat an old wall for a tarp camp. I'm not a fan of my hooped bivy, i feel claustrophobic in them, probably why i always stick to an open face one. Just watched this from my new backwards bungalow in torrential rain 🌧 and enjoyed every minute. I really like your alcohol stove by the way. Think I'll be getting myself one of those. 👍👊
Hi Gez, thanks for watching, glad you liked it, so much choice along the border ridge, I prefer the open bivy, but this hooped bivy is in case I do a hill top and it’s too windy for a tarp, I don’t get claustrophobic, enjoy your camp,
Cheers
Nice pitch. Looked like a nice trip.
Hi and thanks for watching,
It was a great chilled camp.
Cheers
Just found your channel. Loved this video.
Hi and thanks for watching
Hope you enjoyed it
Cheers
That bivvy looks brilliant!
Hi and thanks for watching, it proved a great purchase, no draught when nearly dealt and no condensation
Cheers
Beautiful!
Hi and thanks for watching
Glad you enjoyed it
Cheers
Love the Vid and the location. You are so right about the destruction of wildlife habitat. Around where I live acres and acres of wild habitat has been lost to housing!! It annoys me intensely. Hope you enjoyed your fishing with your lad.
Hi and thanks for watching, great location for sure,fishing was ace time away but,not so productive!!
Cheers
I have been using the speedster stove for a few years now, I choose it before all other stoves. Great camp sir
Hi and thanks for watching
Glad you enjoyed it
Stove is magic and made here
Cheers
Spot on video as always Adrian, it’s a stunning area that. Glad to see that bivvy in action, it looks really impressive especially with zero condensation. I’ve got the speedster, it’s a cracking stove 👍. Lovely video, cheers, Dave
Hi Dave, glad you enjoyed it, loving the border area, yes stove is mint,
Bivy is three layer but not goretex but works like goretex amazing bivy
Cheers
Brilliant vid as always, I'm proper chomping at the bit to get out to try my bivi, everyone I watch your vids you make the tarp and bivi combo seem such a great choice,I have a snugpack stratosphere and an oex salamanca, I found the salamand had a bad condensation problem, it was February when I camped and i used alor of warm kit, the stratosphere has not had a winter trail, only an open summer use so I couldn't judge, I like the look and idea of the Dutch army bivi!, I love having multi options.
Thank you for sharing and take care
Hi and thanks for watching, I think tarps are a love em or hate em thing as quite fiddly to pitch at times, I don’t enjoy being in a tent as I prefer to see around, as for the bivy’s I feel only the army ones are truly breathable in our conditions,
I don’t think being over warm with clothes helps ! As I often find, as you did too.
Cheers
This looks like an epic adventure!! Love that you stuck it out even with the crazy weather - that wind at the start was nuts! 💨🌧 That new stove looks awesome, definitely need to check that out. And hey, sometimes you just gotta ditch the tent and go full tarp and bivy mode for a true wild camping experience, right? 😂 Thanks for sharing!
Hi and thanks for watching,glad you enjoyed it, the stove is a good buy
Cheers
Nice one Adrian that stove looked like a good bit of kit tarp and bivvi was perfect mate nothing but wind and rain hopefully it starts to calm down soon atvb Jimmy 😎😎👍👍
Hi Jimmy, thanks for watching, yes the army bivy is spot on, worth the weight difference, wind has to go soon !!
Cheers Adrian
Great video, Again! I recently purchased a new dpm MPV bivi bag and my sleep bag got absolutely soaked ,100% with condensation…so that went back and I got my trusty goretex one back out. I was considering a Dutch hooped bivi but didn’t know about condensation in it until you showed us how good it was. Thank you! Love your vids!!!
Hi and thanks for watching, glad you enjoy the vids, two camps now and both dry in the Dutch one, and last night it was zipped up apart from a six inch breathing hole, I will continue testing it, it’s not Goretex but a three layer laminate it says, but appears perfect.
Cheers
@@northumberlandmountainhopper I think it's called MVP. Material....made by fecsa ..I got soaked in a fecsa MVP bivi bag recently. Nevertheless your vids are fair assessments and really helpful. Cheers.
@@soldier-Davethe Dutch hooped bivy I have is made by Fecsa ! Yet it works fine so far at least as good as my goretex British army one
Cheers
Great camp. I like alcohol stoves, mine is the old Trangia with a GSI Halulite Minimalist. The reason I like besides the ease / cost of fuel is it makes you wait. Wait and enjoy. I always have a gas stove for a back up, but its nice to sit back and take everything in.
Hi and thanks for watching, yes it helps when things are not a rush, personally I don’t take a spare, although a chaps gas stove failed on a recent camp and he had to use mine, so you can be caught out.
Cheers
Great vid lovely views 🤙
Hi and thanks for watching glad you enjoyed it
Cheers
Nice one…have fun stay safe .
Hi and thanks for watching
Glad you enjoyed it
Cheers
Never been to this part of the country… looks great.
Hi and thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it, it’s a very quiet area you can walk and see no one, the cold and wind keeps people away !!!!! Even in the summer
Cheers
Beautiful country that.
Hi and thanks for watching
It’s wild quiet and beautiful the Cheviots
Cheers
The Dutch army hooped bivy is a great piece of equipment. The air permeable laminate is the best. If the pole arch feels too low because of the mat inside, try lifting it up a little by putting the mud baskets of your walking poles under the ends of the pole like feet. This lifts mines up by a couple of cm, keeps the pole away from the head a little more. The zips on FECSA made bags can get a bit stiff, especially the zip on the hood, maby a good idea would be to use a little silicone zip lubricant to give it some TLC. Many thanks for sharing your adventures!
Hi and thanks for watching, yes it seems excellent, no condensation at all, few reports about the zoos so the line a good idea, no problems with the height but it’s a good thought and idea if the need arose.
Cheers
Another cracking camp mate albeit a wet n windy one , can’t go wrong with those speedster stoves mate. Glad to hear it was a condensation free camp too. Atb Dave
Hi Dave thanks for watching, yes the stoves are great, loving the border wall area,
Cheers Adrian
Brilliant video m8 feel for you climbing you're doing well
Hi and thanks for watching
Glad you enjoyed it
Cheers
My favourite part of britain just beautiful
Hi and thanks for watching
Yes it’s wild quiet and beautiful
Cheers
Top Stove indeed Brother 👍 Great vid, enjoyed it immensely 👍🇮🇪
Hi and thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it, you have some magic areas in Ireland and unspoilt
Cheers
Do the hiking poles help much ??? I used to love running but being quite a few yrs older I can't do that anymore due to knee issues. I would like to perhaps do a bit of walking and we have plenty of walks down here in Dorset so just wondering if they would help
Hi and thanks for watching, hiking poles are a must when you get older, they help on the leval as well as help you up hills and down hill they really save the knees !!!
She is hopeless !!! I am 62 soon !!!
So know about knees !!!
Cheers
So relaxing to watch. Good to see you sharing these experiences with us all.
Hi and thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it and found it relaxing, I try to chill out on all my camps, and looking out from under the tarp helps, as you are part of the surroundings, or at least it feels so
Cheers
Loved the video, can up post a link to the stove kit ? Thank you
Hi and thanks for watching
Glad you enjoyed it
I have put the link to his web site in the description
Cheers
Great video mate 👍 an education for me and I live there!
Hi and thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it,
Can I ask live where ? In the village we can see ?
Cheers
@northumberlandmountainhopper about 15 miles away in a town called Lauder! Although I work near there in Kelso. Have u walked The Southern Upland way Adrian? It goes through Lauder
@@craiglumsden76no unfortunately I have not, so much I want to do and so little time
Cheers
@@northumberlandmountainhopper ok mate all the best, nice chatting 👍
Nice vid, looks blustery!
How do you find it with ticks, sleeping under tarp in bivvy, when it gets warmer?
If you're going fishing at St Abbs, go visit the chippy Giocapazzi in Eyemouth.
Hi and thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it, on my camp last spring bivy with ultimate views, I got 17 small ticks, the wife and son had to get them !! Other than that camp I have never had one !!!
I use a permethrin once a month on tarp and bivy
Will keep chippy in mind
Cheers
Glad the dutch army bivvy worked out for you. Have you considered a poncho in place of the waterproofs? Much easier to put on and goes over the rucksack. Army surplus dutch one is mint..lol
Hi and thanks for watching, lol does it ever end ? I will have to have a look although my Paklite top and trousers are so light can’t see a surplus beating them on weight.
Bivy is superb, great buy.
Cheers
Lovely ❤
Hi and thanks for watching
Cheers
Hi and thanks for watching

So the boarder wall, is that Hadrians wall? Fantastic views great camping x
Hi and thanks for watching, no it’s the border wall between the Cheviots and Scotland also close to the Pennine way.
Cheers
Hadrian's wall is a tad bigger than that!!
I bloody love your videos mate, can't beat a tarp & bivvy 😊
Hi and thanks for watching, glad you enjoy them, lying back in a tent with a door open is nowhere near as good, as lying under your tarp.
Cheers
Can you please tell me what's the brand of head torch you are using, thanks in advance have a great weekend👍🏽
Hi and thanks for watching
Had the same question yesterday
Please see that comment from “miamaddy “and details of what video I tested it in
There is a discount code in the video
Cheers
I take my cap n hat off to yer mate.
I had a cracking XL Dutch Army Hopped Bivi my LK35 fitted in the bottom Holding it off yer feet n legs.
I tried it in the Garden when it was freezing. I found it too stuffy and no air circulation. Especially with inflatable mat inside Sold it. Now got a Jack Wolfskin Gossamer 2
Plus several Bivi bivis
Some Dutch Army Bivis are not proper Gortex. Cook system looks ace.
Great Video as always.
Hi and thanks for watching, there is loads of room in the bottom so i can put my pack in, but I was testing it against the Alpkit Elan I borrowed on the last bivy, no comparison the army bivy just works, so I won’t be keeping the Elan, even at a 500 grams penalty the army one is better, I don’t think it is genuine gortex as it says 3 layer on the inside but it works as good as my open army bivy which is goretex.
Cheers
There were two manufacturers of the Bivi.
Carinthia and Festuca?
The Carinthia is the best by far.
Festuca is a Spanish company and their zips can fail.
@@Yorkshiremadmick well I can’t tell who made it; but it all works ok and it’s in top condition so I can’t grumble and if the zip goes I will have to get another !
Cheers
@@northumberlandmountainhopper
Where you read the 3 layer system.
That’s where the name normally is. By the side zip. You found the built in fly mesh? Keeps the mossies out. Aids ventilation too.
@@Yorkshiremadmicklabel inside and reads FECSA Madrid 2009
Can’t fault it to be honest
Cheers
Nice video as usual. So does that mean the elan is getting relegated in favor of the dutch bivvy? Looks like a good piece of kit.
Hi and thanks for watching, glad you enjoy the videos, the Elan was posted back today, can’t justify having both,
I one I used was borrowed while this one was on its way, it’s obvious the Alpkit ones suit me in the summer when there is less humidity.
Cheers
Excellent video , a new subscriber.
What brand of boots are you wearing ? Are they waterproof?
Hi and thanks for watching,and welcome
Glad you enjoyed it
I have to get wide fit boots not much choice
These are Meindl meran Gtx got them when on offer, the Cheviots are a wet boggy old place so goretex boots a must
Cheers
Those Dutch hooped bivvies are brilliant. I have camped on the tops in mine before, but you’re exposed if you don’t have the additional protection of a tarp.
Hi and thanks for watching, I got mine for that very reason, the tops, I did a border walk and camp and could not get a tarp up in the wind, so I thought hooped bivy, and then just cover my stuff and the bivy with a really low set up or just the bivy if the wind was too much
Cheers
@@northumberlandmountainhopper - Indeed! That lee-side of the wall was an excellent location too. I’ve used similar techniques as shelters when I was doing summits on the air radio work.
Nice one mate 💪
Hi and thanks for watching
Glad you enjoyed it
Cheers
@@northumberlandmountainhopper we did thanks 💪
Thank you so much for sharing, it is most appreciated. Hope you and your son have a great time fishing. Take care, stay well, stay safe. Helen and Katarin Juska-Law.
Hi and thanks for watching, back from the snow holes then ! Did you see my last one ? Another failed bivy for condensation that’s why I got this one, can’t beat the army ones,
Cheers
Where did you.get your stove from? It looks really safe and practical
Hi I did say in the video description
“Speedster stoves” or put in “border raider stove”
Either will get you there
Cheera
@@northumberlandmountainhopper oh you didnt you. I think I will get one. Many thanks.
New Subscriber 👍. Thanks for sharing 👍 🙏.
Hi and thanks for watching
Welcome
Cheers
It looks bleak up there. I wonder what it looked like 400 to 500 years ago when the Border Reivers would ride over the border on their raids. Was it covered in Caledonian Forest?
Hi and thanks for watching
Yes it’s mostly bleak on the Cheviots!! At least it’s quiet !!
Cheers
Probably more trees than now. The hills are bare because of sheep grazing. In the 18th and 19th centuries the soils were improved using lime so that grass could be grown and sheep selectively bred to withstand the harsh conditions. Cheviot sheep are quite small but tough. I am guessing but prior to that there would probably have been transhumance - grazing cattle in the uplands in summer before bringing them down for winter. The main issue inhibiting grazing would have been the distance to markets
Hi and thanks for watching, your comments sounds pretty spot on
Cheers
Silly set up what part of it is warm tarp too high near the wall acting as a sale hope it doesn't rain in it's all too high off the ground for me
Hi and thanks for watching, silly to you but perfect for me,
Warmth is my clothes and bivy,
As for the tarp it was perfectly pitched and very firmly pitched so was not going to move,and the rain can blow in,as I was nice, snug and dry in the bivy,
Maybe tarp camping is for the minority who see the enjoyment from being more exposed, and being part of the outdoors,
Cheers
Looking for a good bivvy bag where did you get it from?
Hi and thanks for watching
This hooped bivy bag was from go army I ordered a super condition and got as ordered, not cheap at £125 but as described
Cheers
What make is the head torch please
Hi and thanks for watching
It’s a Trustfire
I will put the link in the video description
Cheers
Excuse my ignorance. Is this Hadrian's wall?
Hi and thanks for watching, no it’s just a wall/fence that marks the border on the Cheviots
Hadrians wall goes east to west, North Shields across to the West
Probably 40 miles south of here

Hi nice video what’s the name of the head torch thanks for the video
Hi and thanks for watching
It’s a Trustfire headtorch
Its been first class for me although my friends failed
On a previous video I put a discount code as I was given it
Video was tarp and bivy in a Northumberland forest
It was by a loch
First time I have been asked
Cheers
Thanks a lot I’ll check it out thanks for the reply
That little candle cooker was 37 American dollars!!! I bought 1 at Walmart for 13$
Hi and thanks for watching, that’s great, no cheap ones here, but it’s from a small local company so I don’t mind
Cheers
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇬🇧
Hi and thanks for watching glad you enjoyed it

did you meet the cheviot yeti
Hi and thanks for watching
No unfortunately not, although he was due on a recent group camp but he never turned up !!!
Cheers
Had those Hexi blocks in the Army ! Hated them !! They made the bottom of the mess tins black and gummy ! A devil of a job to clean . I ways took at small gas cooker with me when going on exercise !
Hi your reply seems to have gone astray but it’s in the comment list !!!
@@northumberlandmountainhopper I said something about blocking the public footpath ,if it was a public footpath between the wall and the fence ! But I don't suppose it matters if you are only there from darkness and gone a first light.
@@Sam_Green____4114Hi and yes it would not matter, but as other reply it’s not a path
I am going to film the access next time I am up there, just so people know, thanks for the interest and comments
Cheers
Why did you buy a snuffer if it comes with a lid that does exactly the same thing
Hi and thanks for watching, I got it as when I used my Trangia I used to use the lid and burn the seal, so did want to keep doing the same with this one,
Cheers
@northumberlandmountainhopper ahh, Makes sense👍
Surely you are blocking a public right of way though ? Between the wall and the fence ? How do other people get past ?
Hi and thanks for watching, there is no path between the wall and fence, the path/right of way is some distance away on the English side, Scotland has no paths shown as they have the right to roam, and the gap between does not exist for more than a couple of fields, you worried for nothing,it’s simply to keep cattle/ sheep away from the old wall
Cheers
@@northumberlandmountainhopperSurely walkers would use that though?
@@mikesey1hi again, as mentioned below in my reply to you, there is no path, you have to climb over the wire, it’s there for a field or two to keep cattle/sheep from getting through the gaps in the old wall
Cheers
Why no trees?
Hi and thanks for watching, a few interesting comments about the history of the area have been made already, it’s all to do with grazing, it’s a shame would have been so wooded in the past
Cheers
I would have said you'd have been better camping in the trees !? Tarp stretched across them ! You'd be out of the rain !
Hi again, too windy for the trees and it’s a hell of a slope, don’t mind a bit of rain as I am in appropriate gear
Cheers
Are you wanting draughts, lower your tarp man! Lol
Hi and thanks for watching, I like it high to sit or change etc, and using the hooped bivy I got no draughts, if you look at my videos I always pitch quite high with the tarp protecting me from the wind,
Just choice I suppose
Cheers
That looks like a public footpath you were camping on. 🤔
Hi and thanks for watching,
Actually no it was not a path, there is no path there ! The wire fence is to keep the cattle/sheep away from the gaps in the old wall, the nearest path in the pennine way 1/4 mile away, also said gap only lasts for two fields as it serves a purpose.
Cheers
I hate to criticize an excellent video, but isn't a bit off to pitch there, blocking anyone who would want/need to walk along the wall?
Hi and thanks for watching; see other comments on same subject lol
It’s not a footpath or right of way, the wire fence is just to keep cattle/ sheep from getting to the gaps in the wall and escaping to Scotland, and the fence only lasts a field or so, I am going to film this on my upcoming camp, to show people.
Cheers
Well don't
That forest is planted as a crop and without management to let light in it's no good to man or beast.
Hi and thanks for watching, yes true, you can forget the real use of the forest when you use it for recreation
Cheers
Freezing?
Hi and thanks for watching, it was cold but only down to 3
Cheers
Taxi for a fanny ,he's going to Englandistan where wild camping is illegal .Hopefully he will stay there and work on getting the laws changes in Englandistan
Hi and thanks for watching, nice humour, if only it would change

Great video mate and beautiful part of the country for sure. You travel much around gods country(Cumbria)?
Hi and thanks for watching, walked a bit over there but not camped, too many venues to go and too many commitments to stop me !!!
