I did this 10 yrs ago, camped every night and took everything on my back. I got so lucky with the weather and not a single days rain. Great video and nice to relive some of those moments through your camera

The knife laws are ‘without good reason’ thought right? And camping is almost certainly considered a good reason. You do need to be able to justify it, but.
@JonnoDoesStuffКүн бұрын
Hmm, I thought the locking blade meant it was a no no. Certainly feel my reason for carrying would be good enough. Will do some research, thanks!
@sophieisabelle3762Күн бұрын
@@JonnoDoesStuff so a Stanley is a locking blade, for example, even though it’s under 3” it would still be illegal for daily carry. It is however legal with good reason, like using it for work. You couldn’t justify taking it to the pub after work, but you’d be fine just commuting or being on a job site. The under 3” and non locking no assisted opening restrictions are around daily carry with no good reason. My gerber dime is fine for every day, but my Opinel isn’t. I take my Opinel camping though.

@JonnoDoesStuff6 күн бұрын
Thanks for watching! Hoping to squeeze 1-2 more UK adventures in. The DCF Atom is a very fine pack, really enjoyed it on this trip. I really like the Duplex, I wouldn't say it's ideal for the UK. Had a couple of not fun windy nights in it but I think that was due to using Groundhog Minis. Since using the regular Groundhogs it's be sturdy. Alas, the hunt for the perfect tent never ends!

At the start of the video I was thinking ‘So HE is one of the swines that swiped one of the limited DCF Atom’s that I scratched my chin over for at least an hour whilst supping my breakfast tea’.

I did it over a few more days and still felt the pain !! The section you missed to the light house, goes on for ever, following the coast up and down the shore line foot paths, then its a bus journey back to Morro Jable.... I would say my favourite sections was the one to Costa Calma, and then costa Calma to Morro Jable along the coast.

So my problem is that the Map won't show in Landscape, and the phone cradle won't mount the phone in profile! Yes, I can use a Force Rotation App, but then 2/3 of the map is obliterated by the banner info across the bottom. Current solution is use Google maps, which does automatically rotate.
