- South Downs Way | Wild Camp on Butser Hill | Wild Camping UK
(This video does contain some wind noise.. I forgot the wind muff for my microphone.)
I met up with @Linleys for a short hike on the South Downs Way, with the goal of a wild camp on Butser Hill. We walked through Queen Elizabeth Country park and then up on to the hill. seeking out the trig point on Butser Hill. then we explored the hill for any viable wild camping locations.. and found the perfect spot! in an old (possibly) WW2 crater. with ourselves set up to see the sunset and the sunrise and the lights of Petersfield town.. the wind picked up and the temperature dropped somewhat so it ended ups quite a cold camp out. but it was a glorious view.
I used the British army Gortex Bivi and my Tomshoo Poncho as a tarp.
a Kymit static V luxe insulated sleeping pad and a 3 season down sleeping bag.

Steep old climb that side of Butser. Enjoyed that.
Thanks mate. It was a spectacular sunset. Well worth the journey 👌
Great views, company and camp 👍
Fabulous mate 👌
A beautiful location and hike. Sure was a beautiful sunset too, very nicely done. 👍
Many thanks! 😊👍
Such awesome places you go to. It's great to have a friend to share good times with
Thanks. It was amazing to watch that sunset!
Great video! I didn't know Jack Dee went stealth camping 😄
😂😂
I enjoyed that 👍 Londoner sent me 🤓
Thanks Ben. Appreciate the visit, glad you liked it 🙂👍
Dan
What a wonderful trip! That looked a wonderful trek, and a part of the south downs way I've yet to experience! Your shelter, if small, seemed to do the trick, definitely needed though, you could tell the wind was relentless!
Cheers, James 🙏💚
I think my original plan was just to bivi. But the wind was surprisingly chilly. So the tarp I had for a ground sheet got sacrificed.
Stunning evening, really enjoyed it.
Great for sledging on when we used too get snow
I bet 👍
Cool editing mate 👌👌👌
Thank you sir 😊👍
Nice one Dan, great spot shame about the wind.
Thanks. Yes, unfortunately I left my microphone cover at home so the audio picked quite a lot of it up.
Thanking you kindly for the mention Dan 👍 Lovely camp. That sunset shot was just the business. Making me want to return! Cheers - Ben
I was inspired to have a look at the trail after watching your trip. I'm quite keen to walk all of it at some stage.
I am surprised that the sheep didn't get you up early too mate, loads on Butser !
Didn't see any sheep that I can remember 🤔
Dan, you were 10 minutes from me buddy ! Let me know next time you near Butser Hill mate 👍
Wow, really. I didn't realise 👍
@Camp Life bushcraft maybe next time buddy eh👍
That was interesting what Warren said about the smaller flat dishes. I didn't know that. I'm claiming and passing that knowledge as my own now 😁
Stunning view from camp, Dan. Lovely sunset too mate!
Did I say? Stunning view!!! 😉👍🏼
Yeah, I didn't know that either. He's got some useless facts stored away 😂🤪
It was a stunning view! It must be said. 👌👌
@@CampLifeBushcraft He’s your Pub Quiz man then 😉
@@BourneOutside 😂😂😂 definitely!
Nice.
Thank you! 👍
Somehow I missed this until now, but this is great! An area I know quite well, I was not far from there this weekend in fact. The Five Bells is a great pub! Beautiful sunset too.
Yes, the sunset was stunning! As I mentioned on camera, I've driven by this hill so many times. I'm happy I got to wake up on it. I'll get a warm fuzzy glow each time I pass by now 😁
A great South Downs camp with Linley 360 that's a fantastic sunset, and the views are amazing cheers Dan 👍👌👏😊
Glad you enjoyed it mate. It was a spectacular sunset to witness 👌
Nice video Dan and Warren. Cheers from OZ. Evan.
P.S. I don't always leave a comment, but i always watch..
Bless you, thanks mate 👍
Picked a lovely day for it. Bit mork and mindy later though.
Mustve been nice to be rewarded with that lovely sunset after the hike up .
👍🏕
It was special mate. Surprisingly cold once the sun had set though.
@@CampLifeBushcraft . Yes mate looked a cracking camp . I know , its still been a tad nippy in the wee hours 🥶
@@treksntarps I think it was supposed to be 7 degrees, but there was a chilly wind. all good under my poncho though : )
@@CampLifeBushcraft Yep something to keep the wind off definately makes a big difference.
Oh so good mate! Loved that stealthy camp night out there. Such a fantastic view. Really enjoyed the chat, your company and time out under the stars. Thank you. Cheers, Warren
Likewise mate. It was good to have a view for a change after a few woodland camps.
😁👍
Looked a cracker lads , well done 💞
@WildCamper cheers mate 👍
G'day Dan, Warren, ..... and the star of the show .......the English countryside.
Re: your shelter Dan, I would suggest ........... the epitome of a .... very ............ happy camper ; )
and why wouldn't ya be with views like that. Goes to show you don't necessarily have to travel far and wide for a good eyeful. Cheers Duke.
It was an outstanding sunset. An absolute joy to witness.
Enjoyed this one. Been on my wish list for a while. Now, when I drive past, I can remember a glorious evening under an obscene looking shelter 🤣
How many pints did you have to start with?😂 Some climb there with beautiful views. Thanks for taking us along 💖
Just the one Mrs Wembley 😋
It was a special sunset. Really enjoyed it x
Nicely done Dan, Warren👍👍 Always a pleasure to see you two out and about on another camping adventure. Good climb up and stunning views of the countryside and that sunset.... Damn that wind is relentless, continuous and never forgiving on those bald hills. I guess to get the views you have to sacrifice something though. Great bit of filming as always, thanks for the trip..
Thanks, Terry. Yeah, it was windy.. and oddly, it was very cold after the sun dropped.
I hadn't thought about wind noise and didn't bring my microphone cover. So there was a fair amount of it caught on the audio unfortunately.
Going for it with the Vincent Gallo camera work . Great stuff and good effort in avoiding those which love to point out “ you can’t camp there “ although you already had and can they prove the provenance of natures ownership etc etc
It was a fun one to edit. Some glorious footage to play with.
@@CampLifeBushcraft……easier to ask forgiveness than permission 😜👍‼️
Beautiful place to camp, the 5 Bells would become 6 or more after a few beers.
The 'bomb' crater looks more like a robbed out barrow (burial mound) hard to say from the video but it's certainly the place they'd put one. Or a round house, but it's a bit exposed.
you might be correct about the mound. when I was a kid our farm had bomb craters in the field which probably made my mind go there first. although our craters were much deeper.
stunning place nonetheless.
Nice wee video there, I live fairly close by and always fancied Buster Hill. Now I’ve seen your location I might just have to walk up there one night and pitch up. Thanks
Thanks Rob. I assume you've worked out where we were. It was pretty quiet. Didn't see a single person from arriving about 6ish to leaving around 7am 👍
@@CampLifeBushcraft yeah I have been up there once or twice with my pooch, the roads surrounding that area you walked I cycle a lot. Buriton, petersfield , East Meon, Clanfield and Horndean. Love living in this next of the woods. I had a camp out just off the south downs way last night. Sustainability centre. About 4 miles from Buster.
Enjoyed that Dan. I've done a chunk of the SDW on a bike but want to do the lot on foot. Cheeky 4 days should smash it
4 days! I was thinking a week 😂😂 but then again I am quite lazy 😁
@@CampLifeBushcraft pmsl, nowt lazy about taking your time. I'm just short on it
Poetry in motion .. lol .. the D & W camp show proving once again anything is possible if you only try. I had other visions of " the twinkle light show " thankfully you proved me wrong. Steepish climb through some beautiful country but that is what makes your trips with Warren stand out Dan. Thanks for the upload guys what a blast. Bushyboy Oz.
Such a spectacular evening mate. I'd wanted to camp there for ages. It didn't disappoint!
Such a beautiful sunset. Sure seems that the wind comes up pretty fast. Do enjoy getting out...but the tearing down and packing up I always find hard after enjoying a great time. Keep up the great adventures! Bruce and Otis
It was a spectacular evening. Really enjoyed this. It was somewhere I've wanted to camp for a while.
Thanks for watching.
Dan 👍
Is that a trekking pole in your tarp or are you just glad to see me 😄 nice camp out 👌
😂😂 thanks mate 👍
i had so many issues camping there while thru-hiking the SDW. so many youths playing loud music and throwing sticks and stones at my tent
wow, didn't see anyone on the night we were there. that's terrible luck for you.
🤔ooh…she’s been a while since I climbed Butser Hill 🇬🇧😋🇬🇧. Is that recreated Iron Age village still near there?
I didn't see it. And we spent a good hour wandering about on top looking for the perfect spot.
I reckon we found it too. Cracking views and no road noise 👌
I will have to call it Buster Hill the correct way looks like it’s spelt wrong 😛🍄
Haha, every time I write it, the auto correct has done the same thing.
me and my father are going in feb to southdowns, didnt think wildcamping was possible but seen alot of people do it on youtube, any tips for doing it wild in southdowns instead of paying for a camp site?
Head up high. Try to be away from footpaths best you can. Set up late, pack down early.
Be brave.. most people won't have a problem with it as long as you're not causing trouble.
@@CampLifeBushcraft thanks for the advice, my dads done alot of camping in his early years with the TA and being a guide on Duke of Edenborough scheme so hopefully his experience will come back to him, we was just going to find a legit place to camp but not the same as wild camping ;) cant wait to go
