Merry Christmas Roger and Linda, great to catch up with you. I checked out your location and did walk by there a couple of years ago with my son in law. Yes I struggled with the stove too but have noticed it has developed a bit of memory in it’s shape and goes together a little easier, I’ve been very impressed how quick it boils Compared to my old fuel stove. Your new tent does look very good, I saw a couple of the x mids in real life and wasn’t keen. Happy new year Roger. 🍻🎄

I really like the space in the X-Dome but too early to tell that much about it despite seeing some "full reviews" on KZbin. I'll probably stick to my other tents until the drafts coming through the mess are a bit warmer.😃 I am impressed with the stove once it's assembled, no doubt I'll get the knack with more uses. Merry Xmas to you and yours, thanks for the support this year. ATB, Roger

Good to see you out, Roger. You can't beat cooking some real food on a camp, especially a Xmas dinner; I'm hoping to do the same on Boxing day. It would be great to see you walking the SWCP, it's a beautiful hike. All the best, and have yourself a great Christmas.

Cheers. Too soon to say anything much about the tent. I was very impressed with the room in it, both floor size and the amount of headroom. Obviously very light, also easy to pitch and felt very solid once pegged out though the conditions didn't test it at all really. I bought it really for late Spring to early Autumn but couldn't resist taking it on this trip. Best wishes for the New Year - and a Happy Xmas!. ATB, Roger

Nice one Rodger. I’m temped by the tent but hope they might bring out a ‘solid’ version. Looks able to take a beating and lightweight too. I can’t be bothered with haute cuisine it’s always a cheap Mac n cheese mug shot or pot noodle. A do admire your skills though. Atb

Really liked this video. I live only about 4 or 5 miles (as the crow flies) from where you filmed this, and I always planned a camp trek to Fur Tor but circumstances interceded and I'll never be able to manage it. Dartmoor is always deceptive, just when you think you are on a path, there's a bog, the OS maps are quite deceptive showing fording places that don't exist etc. Thanks for filming this, at least I know what I missed. Incidentally, the most "remote place" on Dartmoor is somewhere between Cut Hill and Fur Tor, but not quite sure where that is.
@thewanderingforester Ай бұрын
Thanks Chris. It was a fair old trek up the river and then through the bog! Sorry to hear your treks are curtailed. I did look up the most remote place on the moor, it's apparently near one end of the peat pass there. Thanks for watching, all the best, Roger

@thewanderingforester 2 ай бұрын
Hi Andrew - the ground sheet in this video is one I made from Tyvek, It was about 2-3 inches smaller than the fly all round. Since then I bought the Durston ground sheet which just fits under the inner tent. I now use a square of Tyvek in the large end each vestibule to put my stuff on, usually bag /boots / wet stuff in one and food cookset etc in the other. Thanks for watching, I'm sure you'll enjoy the tent. ATB, Roger

Only ever been to the Peak District once about 8 years ago, we stopped for 3 days and had 4 days of none stop rain, so never been back. Great views and the heather looked great and hopefully you get a good couple of sunny days in the lakes for Linda's birthday. I hare driving at the best of time but for me the dive to the lakes in over the Moors but the drive to the Peaks is down the A1M, so another reason I have not been back. You got some amazing evening colours in the skies once you pitched up and shame about Linda's shoulder, it's neck with Mrs Metalman. Oh I have had those comments before, you should not have done this of that, you do not take thing seriously when out (I never take anything seriously) and I am a proud fair weather hiker and camper, I never respond either, just delete, block and laugh! Nice morning to wake up too and if there is a good sunrise, I always like to be up for it. Enjoy the Lakes, cheers Alan
@thewanderingforester 3 ай бұрын
Thanks Alan. We've been to the Peak District a couple of times for long weekends walking but never camped before. It's a trek up the M5/M6 before going cross-country so a bit of a mission. The Lakes is even farther of course but once you're past Manchester its not too bad. We had a couple of days in Keswick, knocked off 5 of the smaller Wainwrights and had a couple of good dinners out. Linda's happy which is always good. All the best, Roger
