Always a pleasure to watch your wild camps.

Ingenius tarp pitching there! Those crags do have spectacular views 😊

Thanks as always, great to see someone with so much enthusiasm, carry on

Great video that one. Its really good to show folks how to set up tarps in unconventional ways. Well done, mate.

Hey Adrian, magnificent views. I’ve come to believe you could just about sleep anywhere. Keep up the good work. Regards from Australia

Amazing video, looks like gr8 hike.

One of my favourite places for lunch. I was lucky to spend a couple of weeks staying in a cottage just by the little clump of trees down in the valley the other side of the crags last year. Wonderful base for walking. Not tough enough to wildcamp although I love the idea of sleeping in the open as you do.

Nice Video! I definitely have to do some Tarp camping. Love your channel ! Cheers from Canada !

Tad windy that mate, amazing views must get up there. 👍

Nice spot Adrian you love a good bivvi camp any were any weather good on ya mate atvb Jimmy 😎😎👍👍

Wow, your wild camp in the Northumbrian Hills looked incredible, even with the windy start! Those views are absolutely stunning. It isn't somewhere I've visited myself, but I keep seeing this amazing views, so I need to get over there! Thanks for the shout out about my debut Breakfast for The Fell Store. Glad to hear you enjoy it as much as me! Delta Ground Anchors would be a good shout for those types of conditions- they really do work wonders in those gusts if you get them secured properly. Keep enjoying the great outdoors and those tasty breakfasts! Thanks again :)

Great video Adrian. Not sure I’d enjoy a bivvy in those conditions but that thick grass is definitely comfortable as had the same stuff on my last camp. Cunyan crags is a nice location though 👍

A wild night Adrian , the big tarp just catches the wind deffo the smaller one would have coped better. At least you got out , I was off thurs, fri and sat night and the weather was horribly wet and certainly not for bivvying under . Atb Dave

Hi Ade. I think the mushrooms were the Butter Waxcap mushrooms, I may be wrong though. If so, then they are edible but its recommended to leave them be as they are becoming more and more rare. You can barely find them in Europe anymore and usually only in colder climates, up high and in disused fields/grass land in the UK. Wow that was some wind on top! luckily you had the perfect spot for that tarp. Tarp and Bivy win again, almost haha. Have you got any 9inch Easton pegs? You need those if you don't, they can be expensive but tarps hold much better in the wind. If I was in this situation with the big tarp, then I would most likely use all my pegs on the upper side, then wrap the lower side (soft side) underneath me and use my body as the anchor... food for thought is all, you did nothing wrong. Great camp as always. You make me want to get back up in the hills and leave the woods for a bit.

That was the most enjoyable interesting pitch Adrian. It shows how you can get a bivy in anywhere. I don’t think a tent would have been better, they just get battered. I still think if you took two delta anchors just for the end where the msr nails were pulling out, it would have stayed put. They go in very well into soft ground. Also some times I double peg, or even secure the pegs at the end from where the wind is coming, with another peg in tandem. One behind the other. I agree a smaller tarp would be better in high winds. My tarp is a 2.4 x 1.4 metres. It took a battering on my last trip (and 1st bivy), it was rock solid. I’ve got an Alpkit airlok 35 litre dry bag for all my stuff outside the bag. Excellent bivy that Adrian, cheers.

Great stuff Adrian, nice spot that, I’m quite fancying those crags for a winter camp. Nice set up as always, very cosy. The mic you are using is certainly doing the trick btw, as good as anything on the market. Really enjoyed the vid as always, cheers, Dave

Loved this one. Why not buy another Army bivvy and modify yours and sew in an integrated over head tarp with eyelets for your poles.👍

Great video once again on a cold day here in Sussex. I have been taking porridge with raspberry’s all made up in half a jam jar then I just stand the jar in boiling water for five minutes continually on the heat . This is on a meths Swiss Army stove. Leave the lid off the jar and keep testing the temp. Works a treat and so cheap. You will need an extra long spoon to get inside the jar.

Great location Adrian, the views really were fabulous. I wasn’t jealous of your setup until you got rid of your tarp and you were snuggled in that little hollow while my tent flapped something rotten all night. It’s a great spot and one we’ll be back to 👍👍

Nice one Adrian , it’s a great spot. Good to see you lads getting out no matter the weather !

Welcome to the Cheviots! 😂

Just tried setting up a tarp on a windy cliff. Agree with you that even with long pegs a tarp is unreliable . Better just a bivvy

Delta ground anchors won’t pull out I imagine. They are bulky but not as heavy as they look.
