andyward1000‪@Kanegreenwood‬ TOOK A WANDER ALONG THE VALLEY, DUE TO HIGH WINDS AND A LIGHTWEIGHT TENT I STAYED OFF THE SUMMITS. COULDNT HAVE WENT ANY BETTER, SO RELAXING AND CHILLED OUT. LAST CAMP FOR ABOUT 3 WEEKS. GOOD WAY TO START MY BREAK..

[@chrissywissythewishwishfairy]

Absolutely magic. So glad I've found your channel!

[@AndyWardle]

Cheers. Welcome along.

[@lomino6478]

Great video, really enjoyed this one 👍

[@johnmecrow7517]

I'm at the spot now mate. Tranquil and calming....apart from a couple of midge. Cheers buddy 👌👍

[@AndyWardle]

Hope it was as good for you mate. Rotten midges. 👍

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

‘Just drink it and shut up!’ Brilliant and I agree😂😂😂 You could survive there on rabbits👍. Ace mate👊

[@AndyWardle]

It’s true man. 😂 beer experts everywhere these days. It all tastes the same. I’d definitely survive on rabbits and water 😂 Atb. Enjoying your vids too. I just don’t comment much. Atb 👍

[@Yorkshiremadmick]

Was gunna say the same!! But all these so called ipa that are not ipa, should find a name for their own brews Nipa is good and pale ale is good. It’s like saying Newcastle Broon is a Stout. Is it bolloxs

[@russelllawler79]

Another great video fantastic place to camp. Nice and peaceful on your own purfect . Glad the weather was good . look forward to your next adventure mate

[@AndyWardle]

Really spot on this camp. Lucky with the rain. As in there was none. I should be back to normal in few weeks. Atb 👍

[@mcgillicuddy4008]

Hello Andy! Another name for those thick clouds, is Cottage Cheese Sky. lol

[@AndyWardle]

😂 I’ll remember that one 🧀 👍

[@rvihelipad2079]

Belter, one of my first wild camps in Northumberland, haven’t been back in years. 👍

[@dellyboot2703]

Stunning place to camp. Fab video, thanks Andy x

[@AndyWardle]

Cheers. Yeah it all went well on this. Be out in about 3 weeks all being well. Atb 👍

[@stevesdaysoff2759]

Hello Andy. Hope you are starting to feel better. Atb Steve 👍

[@davidwilkinson248]

Good to bump into you yesterday and glad you had a good camp.

[@AndyWardle]

Ahh yes likewise. I forgot to ask your name to say hello. Hope you had a good walk. It never rained btw 😂 Atb 👍

[@stephenmallcollmessexuk1484]

Good video I enjoyed watching it :)

[@AndyWardle]

Cheers. I enjoyed this camp. Atb 👍

[@leejohnstone7500]

Classic Andy camp that! Seems you really enjoyed it. Keep up the good work.

[@AndyWardle]

Cheers. Yeah I was totally chilled out after all the house stuff going on. Good to unwind sometimes. Atb 👍

[@austieoutdoors9763]

good to see you back AGAIN lol kidda yes i am a scouser hey that water you got from the stream is well clear some video,s have seen were they have got water out of a stream its like green with peat but thats clear as f----

[@wey_aye_adventures]

Another cracking video…love the solo wildcamps mate. 👍🏻

[@AndyWardle]

Cheers. Yeah I like to have the odd solo. Recharge and reset. All that sort of thing. Atb 👍

[@otf.outdoors]

Cracking little spot to camp there mate, ideal for a water source too 👌, the tent looks like a good one, very lightweight, nice one, atb Mick 👍

[@AndyWardle]

Cheers mick. Yeah tents less than 1kg but really small. For me at least. I like a bit more space. Saying that I’ve used it loads. Cracking pitch though. Definitely going again. Atb. 👍

[@adrianhudson1116]

Brilliant video. They reckon if you lived off something such as only rabbit meat you would get protein poisoning, which is nicknamed "rabbit starvation". I remember that from the end of the film Into the Wild. I hope the next camp is a cracker

[@northumberlandmountainhopper]

Great video, Camped there a few times, I first saw it on a Blamhof video in may five years ago, Mid week best there if you can, Your food was fantastic, asparagus is spot on,lovely chilled out camp, I am watching it as I watch the sunset before I pitch the bivy, Moving !!!!! It’s crap, I have had a few weeks of it ,with a forced rental for 10 days to keep the chain going !!!! Keep em coming

[@AndyWardle]

Stressful moving. It’s unreal how much stuff you accumulate. I’ll get there. Yeah we’ve camped here a few times. Last time wasn’t good. This time was spot on though. Cheers for watching atb 👍

[@stevesdaysoff2759]

Hello Andrew 😄 . I remember that spot well. Lovely place to wild camp. Enjoyed watching. Atb Steve 👍

[@AndyWardle]

Cheers Steve lovely place indeed. Until the midges arrive. Thompo knows 😂 catch up soon hopefully. Atb 👍

[@BorderRambler]

You rattled this trip out quick , what a great little spot indeed. Water on tap , decent scran ,music and a few beers what more do you want . New mat looks the biz and sooooo light . Can I here the dipper in the background ? What you gonna get to replace the pretents then marra . Atb Dave

[@AndyWardle]

Cracking place like. Unless there’s midges it gets brutal. I was in my element like sat there totally relaxed. I’m looking at many replacements. Duomid is top. I’m undecided. Bit more research and I’ll get on it. Atb mate. 👍

[@howardpotts5763]

Grub looked awesome 👏 better than the dry packet stuff 🤣 not sure about dumbledores hat 🎩 is the mat any good ?

[@AndyWardle]

Love a good fry up me. I’ll do more of that. Tent is ok. I’ll be changing it though. And yes the mat was mint. Really quiet unlike the other thermarests. 👍

[@DavidMichaelBurnett]

Hi Andy, I'm from Cramlington and love watching your videos. I really respect and appreciate you for pointing out about leaving fire burns on the ground and also of course the LeaveNoTrace importance. I get away for many hikes in the Cheviots and the Lake District every other week or so and I can remember the stream hopping coming down from the Cheviot very recently that way. 🙂👍 I have only done a couple of wild camps but no solo ones and I'd love to kick on and get a few done and get some new kit at some point. Thanks for your videos mate I watch each and every one of them as soon as they're posted and spend a lot of my evenings watching them too. Would be so cool to bump into you one day! 👍🙂

[@grahamswildcamping]

Beautiful little place to camp that......don't worry, I don't know where it is 🤣 How much are you selling the tent for?

[@AndyWardle]

It is a good spot in certain cases. Not midge season though 😖 dunno about the tent. Might auction it see how it goes. Atb 👍

[@UrbanRatsAdventures]

Andy Enjoy the moving !! We just on way to Dale head for a Craig Charles party tonight 😃🥾⛺️✌🏻

[@AndyWardle]

Cracking spot. Hope you had a good un. I was listening to him last night to ease my stress 😂 👍

[@Wild.cat.adventures]

Just got the women's neoair very happy with it! I have the forclaz trek 900 bag from decathlon had it down to below freezing but its a light summer bag really, plus small packsize and variety of sizes 👍

[@AndyWardle]

Nice. I’ve looked at the forclaz. It’s on my shortlist. Not a bad looking bag. Pack size to warmth it’s a balancing act. Sure I’ll crack it. Atb 👍

[@stephenwharrior5835]

I've got that may and have used it in Scotland last week and for the weight and storage size it's spot on

[@AndyWardle]

Definitely impressed up to now. My winter mat takes up loads of space. So this is definitely an improvement. Atb 👍

[@shabingly]

I have thought about getting that tent, pretents soloist is it? Only really cos I was intrigued by the door tbh 😂 Came to my senses and realised I've essentially got the same tent in the Lanshan 1 2021 for less cash, and it's fine for what I do. Nice to see someone drinking my local brew from Saltaire.

[@AndyWardle]

The lanshan is probably better for space and layout. The pretents is too small for me personally. The material is super quality though. That’s the difference. But yeah. Stick with the lanshan. I do like the door on the pretents mind. 👍

[@anthonypayne1]

That's a sweet little spot you found there, glad you didn't have to bail this time. So is this where you're moving to then?🤣

[@AndyWardle]

I’d move there like. Live off rabbits and water 😂 I’ll be doing a midge check before going back mind. I’ll never forget it 😂 Atb Anthony hope you’re well 👍

[@dekacoombe4595]

Great vid mate , perfect spot , definitely on my list to camp there , bait looked the biz too , nice one Andy , atb Deka 👍🏻🏕😎🍻

[@AndyWardle]

Cheers mate. Aye it’s a great spot but be aware of my last visit and the midge bail out 😂 Atb 👍

[@acedecs]

It’s nice to get a chilled one now and then mate. I was above byness on Friday night on the border ridge. Windy as hell a lashed down. Wasn’t happy. What garmin are you using. I’ve just bought a tactix delta solar haven’t got a clue how to use it 🤣

[@AndyWardle]

I stayed low due to the wind forecast like. The tent in this wouldn’t be enjoyable 😂 mines the fenix 6s. Just a cheap one like 🤦‍♂️ look on KZbin for tutorials I’ve learned a lot. 👍

[@atrampinthehills.841]

smashing spot

[@AndyWardle]

When there’s no midges. 😂 👍

[@arthurmorris5770]

I feel for the caveman not having a mattress like you've got Andy 😂👍

[@AndyWardle]

They really missed out 😂 it was pure luxury. Atb 👍

[@emz_adventure]

Lush spot that mind. Always been a super quiet hike up to cheviot that route. The house is private belongs to estate. They use it all summer ☀️. I love the treacherous hike up to hedgehope from there. Gets the lungs open. The hope is a lush waterfall. Ya should have gone in man. Really enjoyed ya video. Take care 🙂

[@AndyWardle]

Really nice spot. My 3rd visit. Last time didn’t end well 😂 I’ll not be going up hedgeherp that way thanks 😂 lovely that house like. Well kept. I’ll go for a dip next time 🧐 maybe 😂 the water was ice cold. Cheers for watching atb 👍

[@Markwildcamp]

Keep the tent for fancy dress parties, go as Dumbledoor😂 sales pitch (pardon the pun)was terrible😂good to see the cooking back

[@AndyWardle]

More cooking if the weathers ok. I’m going as yee to any fancy dresses parties. Just need an invites now. 👍

[@Paul_Turvey]

Your thoughts on the new mat Andy?

[@AndyWardle]

Cracking. Was dead comfy and not like the other thermarests. Nice and quiet. I’m well impressed. Expensive though. That’s the negative. Atb 👍

[@derektrotter3219]

Great video as usual was that sleeping mat worth the brass

[@AndyWardle]

Cheers. I’m gonna say yes. It ticks all the boxes. Fingers crossed 🤞 I’m still saying that in a few months 😂 Atb. 👍

[@hedgerowsandzeros]

Only 6 beers? Told you a 48L pack would be too small 😉👍 Great spot.

[@AndyWardle]

😂 6 is enough at those strengths. 👍

[@exploringww11northeastengl55]

Crackin place that looks 👌 ,what editing software do you use ?

[@AndyWardle]

Really good spot. I use imovies. Nice and simple. Atb 👍

[@exploringww11northeastengl55]

@@AndyWardle cheers andy 👌

[@Wildcamping101]

Racking video as always Andy, lovely spot that. Looks great for a nice chilled one. The lightweight setup looks the business. You didn’t take much persuading 🤣😂🤣 it’s cracking pad though. Need get yourself a duomid, tonnes of space in that and a great lightweight option. Enjoyed the vid. Cracking job as always. ATB, Craig.

[@AndyWardle]

Cheers Craig. Yeah I am weak 😂. Glad I got it though. I’ve been eyeing up the duomid too 🙈 one day I’ll be happy 😂 Atb mate. 👍

[@MarkventuresNE]

Cracking spot! A was stupid enough to get in for a dip! 😂 the ravine of death! ☠️

[@AndyWardle]

It is a good spot minus the midges. I’ll go in when it’s warmer. It was freezing I put my hand in 😂 definitely death. Atb 👍

[@mischef18]

Speaking of caveman I was called that when I drove milk tankers because of my long hair and beard, I think they modeled that bloke in Harry potter after me lol. You are right it is a lovely spot bro so thanks for letting us tag along. Safe travels

[@AndyWardle]

😂 nice one Hagrid. Yep definitely a little oasis that place. I know where to go if it’s windy up too now. Hopefully midge free too. Atb mate. 👍

[@nivid01]

Ok, I got the tent set up and sitting in my chair having a beer. What do I do now!!! Hmm, I have had enough, time to go home!

[@AndyWardle]

It’s called. Chilling out. Much needed after my busy few weeks. I’m not one for activity once I’m set up. 👍

[@LundysWildcampBushcraft]

Cracking video Andy and a lovely area to chill out in I remember that video when you bailed out that stake looked spot on hungry now 🤣🤣 I love a good stake enjoy yourself in Scotland atvb Jimmy 😎😎👍👍

[@AndyWardle]

Cheers jimmy. Aye it’s a good spot like. I like to cook real food in the better weather so more to come hopefully. Atb mate. 👍

[@philjones3335]

Cavemen on thermarests drinking northern monk👌. Good lad, drink it and shut up 🤣🤣🤣

[@AndyWardle]

😂 it’s perfect I eventually shut up and drank up. Atb 👍

[@boblobster]

There's me thinking it was gonna be one of these bikini/waterfall videos. Feel a bit foolish now like

[@AndyWardle]

Well… next time maybe. I’ll get thompo involved 😂 👍

[@owenoutdoors5817]

3 weeks before you are out again that is shocking ! I thought it was law that you camped every weekend

[@AndyWardle]

It used to be. And it may well be again 😂 👍

[@nightsinthewild]

Looked lush! Perfect weather, no midge, no other humans, plenty beer and a steak! I would have been in tears on the way back 🤣

[@AndyWardle]

It was hard to leave like. Definitely one to go back too. As long as nee midge. Pretty much a perfect camp. Atb 👍

[@Team-Jesus]

That is not a bivvy

[@AndyWardle]

No I had my bivvi with me just in case. 👍

[@thomasjeffersonlane9902]

He says in the video that he’s got that tent but also has his bivvy with him. Pay attention
