An overnight Bivy on the Simonside Hills
I choose a spot under the Crags for my Bivy due to the rain.
No cooking, just a chilled out short camp after a nice evening meal at home.
Briefly touch on what I have been doing the last two weekends and when I could in the week.

You've got a great outlook Adrian and you've definitely got your priorities sorted. Long may you continue to enjoy your treks and camps . . . . and your new campervan, when you get it. As for bivis, I've given up on mine; too much condensation. From now on I'm just going to use a tarp for shelter and a groundsheet, Big Agness pad and Nordisk sleeping bag in the summer. (Maybe winter too . . . I can always wear a down jacket and down bootees!)

Hi and thanks for coming along, I suffer comedy in the Alpkit bivy in the winter so use an army gortex one in the damp, can’t imagine just the sleeping bag under the tarp, Northumberland is so wet and windy in the winter. !! It’s a shame we can’t get lightweight waterproof sleeping bags ? As for the van, Tuesday, Cheers

Hi and thanks for coming along Dave, I love that spot and last night it was nice having the fine rain to freshen it up nicely. Get the bivy out couple of months left where we have a chance of not needing the tarp. Cheers Adrian

Just returned from a bivy overnight in the coastal dunes....also beautiful in their own way, but not the vast vistas you see from your hilltop eerie. Glad you enjoyed it and had a chill break. Helen.

Another great quick camp video. Just a thought. I don't carry on backpack my walking stick with pointy end up (near my head). I have a small plastic container (sometimes a cut small water bottle) and put that in my backpack sidewall with pointy stick end into it. Aye, Keep up the good work.

Lovely video again Adrian, peaceful nature of your style of camping really comes through. That rock overhang looks like it provides a nice bit of shelter while still giving commanding views. I wonder if it was used far back in neolithic times for surveying the land? ATB, Graham, looking forward to out next meet-up 👍

I bet that mat deflating is a bit of a pain! I’ve had a Thermarest for years and it’s always been reliable, although I’m not sure how long that’ll remain the case, as my kids have started using it for Scout camps.
