The smallest I went was the Snugpak Ionosphere and bought a spare camo fly as they were cheap at the time. This looks good though

Hiya Kev. I'm hoping to go here soon for a sunset. I've recently been. Do you know of a trig anywhere near here. I have no idea of one near, just thought you might know of one perhaps about 15 minute drive. I know Caerphilly mountain one Twmbarlwm, the Garth. Just hoping you might know of something. No worries if not👍

Good review Kev. I've watched and seen a few bivy camps, this one looks the biggest one so far. Nice you open the side and get in, also the top to look at the stars. At the moment I can't see myself ever getting one, I carry quite a bit and like a bit of space. I enjoyed watching it though. Jumping on one of your others for a bit of advice now👍👋

Only 1.9 Lbs at Amazon $ 49.99

Can’t fault it for the price Kev 👍

Good follow up Kev. You do hard miles so that's not too bad for £20. I will pick a pair up myself and have a go too. Good vid👍

For a penny under £20 and 300 miles and with support and comfort, a bargain I'd say!!

Just use some shoe goo on the sole, easy.

When you put a tent up correctly, you can then test it critically. If your choice of site is poor, then that is a FAIL for YOU, not the tent!

10p a mile?

When the bottoms get 'shiney', get angle grinder to rough up the slippery soles.

Accepting that the re-sole is likely to cost more than the initial purchase price, would you consider re-soling budget walking trainers if you really liked the uppers ?

Another good buy from the middle of Lidl.

For that price a bargain

Hi Kev

I love Lidl stuff! Thanks for the review Kev.

Great video Kev.

Just picked up a pair in aldi for £8.99

When you said ‘it’s not particularly water proofed’ I stopped watching 😂 I want something that keeps me completely dry for 1/2 hour hike in the rain

Nice camping, lovely walk to that beach

Hi and lol, a tarp is not for everyone without doubt,I have got rid of most tents as I mainly only camp with a tarp and bivy, You should have pitched with a Star configuration 1 pole in the centre, bomb proof and more room than a tent, You will have to try again You have to love a tarp and bivy lol Cheers Adrian

Did u sell it?

How's this held up in the 9 months since the video was made? Have you found it durable, good in the wind/rain during this time? cheers!

Just bought one from eBay. Second hand, annoyingly missing guy ropes. Bought it as a cheap and usable 2 person tent for taking my lad, or the few days a year i use a campsite with DofE. Use the Nordisk Telemark or the Terra Nova Laser for everything else. Looking forward to trying this one out, compared to what I already have, it looks palatial!

Really enjoyed this video! St Michael's Way looks like a lovely walk, and you captured the scenery nicely. The route from the beaches to St Michael's Mount is pretty special. Thanks for sharing - it’s definitely got me thinking about a trip to Cornwall. Cheers, Simon - Tales From Abroad

South african weather that. Had a blast a day ago in the campsite. Cool company

What time of year was this?

I didn't think I would like a quilt, but on my first wild camping trip, I ended up unzipping the sleeping bag and using it as a quilt! Impressed how small this quilt packs down to though, that would make a massive difference in pack size.... £300 for a 2-3 season quilt though seems crazy..... i'd probably just keep unzipping my sleeping bags and using them as a quilt lol. The synthetic one might be worth a try though for the money!

My question is a bit late coming but just wondering if the PU fly sheet would work on the sil/nylon inner and dac poles, if so am guessing there would be a slight increase in weight in exchange for a more stealthy colour and no wet sagging fly sheet?

I take my hat off to anyone who can use a bivvy like this. I know of someone who used one for 6 weeks thru the Pyrenees. No space and no comfort. But, if one can make it work, round of applause from me. I'll stick to my tent!!

Just been to Aldi in Ebbw Vale. They have around ten pairs. size 7, 10 and 11 of these available for £12.99. Also a few of their other recent deals on red tickets. May be some left over stock available in other stores too.

Which better between Aksoul and Runacc ?

Hi I have still got my Felllpine, just reproofed the fly this morning and its out on the line. Used it on my 5 Pennine Way attempts, and at 78 I am thinking of one last hurrah along the backbone of England. The floor zip has gone on one side of the inner so would need to be organised to stop creepy crawlies getting in or even an Adder in the Cheviots. Enjoyed your vid cheers. Andy.

Lovely footage on the intro Kev, that took some filming I would say. The beaches in Cornwall always look so amazing. I was unaware that there was a Camino trail in the UK but logically of course there would be some sort of Pilgrims trail I am guessing? Excellent filming. I visited the Mount many years ago - in fact it was on the 1st holday that me & the wife took over 30 years ago. We returned last year for her 60th but the weather was awful - mind it was March. Enjoyable watch. atb Al

Please don't light an alcohol stove on your plastic groundsheet. No. Mate. STAAAAAAHP. WTF!!!

really nice video keep up.

So you’ve been paid to review … just say heliberg are the best

You mention that you like the Robens bag's long side zip but note that it's not waterproof on top. I have used a tarp in the similar configuration to your morning setup but with a waterproof zipless bivi (ex-army) in a T shape, i.e. with just the head end under the tarp and the rest sticking out at right angles, getting wet. This provides a lot of space on either side of the bivy entrance, for storing gear, cooking and for getting changed and into/out of the bivy, all in the dry. Great video. Lots of possibilities.

Could really do with afull length side zip for easy access

That was great Kev and some very cinematic drone footage. That 13 miles was a great test for those Aldi walking shoes 😁

The ending was to make you feel at home 😀

Bought a pair of these yesterday after seeing this video. Super impressed with them ! Did five miles of gravel this morning and extremely comfortable right from the word go. I normally wear merrell but these are more comfy. All for £16.99. Total bargain 👍

Love this, great video. Many memories of the north coast and a beautiful trail we've yet to explore.

I'm glad that you found this trail. My daughter lives near St Michael's Mount and we discovered the trail when visiting her. It's a nice easy day out and a great coast to coast. Beautifully filmed.

Great drone footage. I live in Cornwall and found this to be a lovely reflection of the many walks in our beautiful County. Walking across the causeway to the mount is a special experience in itself.

Great. In the early 1950's with My Family we'd walk from Gilwern up to the Lonely Shepherd. P.S greetings from Brisbane Australia 🐨🦘

A really good video this Kev. I'm like you in being a fan of these overlooked, unspectacular hills. That monologue you gave about getting out, not letting excuses happen really struck a chord with me. I've been pretty poor at getting out this past 3 months.

Lovely area to pitch in. I do remember passing an abandoned hill farm in the immediate area and it was a like a time capsule. Magazines and newspapers dated when it was still active. There was even an old annual as a Christmas present to a child there. Did you find tbe farm on your trip? Thanks for showing the Lanshan tent. I see that they and the Lanshan 1 tents are very, very keenly priced and a great option for those on a budget. Thanks for making the video.

I will check these out, I've bought other gear - shirts etc from ALDI and Lidll, especially their long sleeve sports shirts which are ace. But like you said, size 12, so usually am out of luck with shoes.

I had one of these, it leaked....badly. And of course outside of the 90 day, no warranty. Also didn't find it anywhere near R5.8! I now have a Neo-Air Thermarest second hand, and it' was around the same price and it's like night and day....not as comfortable but actually warm.
