An overnight camp, sleeping in the Jimny at Abbeyfields in Mitford, Northumberland.
The owner of the fields is a nice guy and he gave me a tour of their Glamping Horsebox. I'm not being paid for sharing their web link and footage of their luxury Glamping Horsebox. I wanted to show my wife so thought I would add it in at the start of the video for you guys too. I'll book a stay for my wife and I in the future, it was super nice!

Abbeyfields is very close to Morpeth, in Northumberland. Morpeth is an awesome place to visit, my wife and I like Barluga for a meal and a few drinks if you're heading this way yourself. This excerpt is from the Visit Northumberland website:
"Combining history and heritage with hustle and bustle, traditional farmers markets lie around one cobbled corner and trendy bars lie around another; all ready for you to discover when you visit Morpeth."
Pretty much agree with that :)
No roof tent this camp, I wanted to mix things up a bit. The basic set up was the DARCHE Eclipse Awning Wall Set (www.trekoverland.com/products...) for shelter and sleeping inside the Jimny. The weather stayed dry and it got down to freezing temperatures but nothing too crazy.
The only major fail was my boots, they both leaked badly within minutes off getting to camp in the thick soaking wet grass. Needless to say my feet were like blocks of ice until I got home ha ha.
This was the first camp for me using a wood stove. Titanium woods stoves are hella expensive but I must admit I liked using it. I've never been happy with the idea of lighting a fire in a field without a good fire pit to avoid scorching the earth. In the woodland I usually camp at this isn't an issue as there are fire rings already there and landowners permission to use them. The wood stove in many ways is a lot more convenient than a fire pit, in my opinion. It's lightweight and packs down small which is essential for the space limited Jimny.
I made that awning pole bracket myself as a temporary measure to help secure the pipe. That amateur device isn’t part of the product you buy. I’m still considering whether to sew in a stove jack onto the awning walls.
I missed stinking of campfires but that's a small price to pay. For transparency I was sent the stove by a company on kickstarter www.kickstarter.com/projects/...
I was also using a storage box sent from Naturehike. www.naturehike.com/products/n...
A few people commented that is looks like a printer lol, but hey I like it! Maybe I should have got the other colour? Anyhow I added a wooden chopping board to the top and some temporary legs until I can add some funky wooden ones. Why I like it is the fact it collapses flat once you're finished using it and you have access to items inside without taking the table top off. They stack too.
Hope you enjoy the video, comment, like and share if you did. I don't ask in the video like every other KZfaqr as it's beyond boring for us all by now. I know I should.
Stay safe and in good health!
Many thanks for watching,
