[@WanderingJay]

[@PaulWillcocks]

thanks, I was playing with the camera settings.

[@PinetreeLine]

Still very beautiful despite it being grey and wet out there. Thanks for sharing!!

[@PaulWillcocks]

Pinetree Line Outdoors yes Dartmoor has a rugged beauty about it.

[@nigelshort8669]

Paul nice vid. The summit of Lints Tor is quite shelltard as its has a low wall on two sides. Great views back the the valley.

[@PaulWillcocks]

Thanks. I'll remember that next time I'm there.

[@assacoon]

Nice video Paul. Just subbed you 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 done a fair bit around the base of Lints myself. Fancy finding a spot at the top sometime

[@PaulWillcocks]

I'm hoping to be back out on Dartmoor next weekend if the weather isn't too bad and I'm not working.

Hello Paul, thought you might like to know our Zpacks triplex tent was put through its paces on Sunday night on the top of Wild Tor. Very windy!! Husband, a sailor, recons it was 30 knots +. It coped fine, very noisy but we were warm and dry. We left one door open and although we had rain and heavy mist we had no condensation problems. Hope this gives you some confidence for your trip to Scotland. Sleeping bags and backpacks were a joy. Jane.

[@PaulWillcocks]

Good to hear it. Yes I am a little worried about using my tent in high winds but now you have given me the confidence it give it a go, thanks.

[@MrJimJD]

Good video Paul. It was like watching one of mine! Even with a bit of rain, some places do seem to have a lot of run-off. The poptarts are not a bad choice. Subbed.

[@PaulWillcocks]

Yes I like to mix it up a bit with the food. Oat bars get boring after a while.

[@TheMooseman316]

nice vid Paul and great area, i take it your car was fine as i have heard a few horror stories about meldon car park and have been quite reluctant to park there, keep up your great content atb moose

[@PaulWillcocks]

This was the first time I left my car at that car park and it was fine.

[@kwoody1986]

Nice video Paul likes the duel screen good idea . All the best Cheers Karl

[@PaulWillcocks]

Thanks Karl. I was just playing with the camera settings.

[@kwoody1986]

Paul Willcocks is it a app that you used for the duel screen as wouldn't mind trying it out cheers Karl

[@PaulWillcocks]

It a kind of app. I had to download it in the camera settings.

[@waxman4207]

Hi Paul, nice vid. How is the arc blast performing for you, thinking of getting one for the WHW (again) Quick tip, if you keep one of your mountain house foil packs, wash it out and reuse it with two of those pasta dishes, should be more filling.

[@PaulWillcocks]

Yes the Arc Blast is great, I highly recommend it. If only it was cheaper. That's a good idea about reusing the mountain house pack.

[@waxman4207]

Thx Paul. I went with the Osprey 50 atmos AG last time carrying about 14 kg but have got my gear down to 7/8 kg now. Using the MLD Burn frameless at present but thought something that transferred the weight more efficiently would be more useful as an all rounder.. It's only because I'm an old fart and have learnt recently that the lighter the pack the more you enjoy your walking, the heavier your pack the more you enjoy your camping. As you have undoubtably found . Cheers, enjoy your adventures

[@PaulWillcocks]

Yes the Arc Blast transfers the weight just as well as my Osprey Exos 48 but is lighter and almost waterproof so no need for a pack cover. Yes definitely the lighter the pack the more fun the hike.

[@deanharvey2920]

Great video. Looked really wet under foot. Did the water bottle holders come with the pack? If not, would you mind mentioning where you got them. Thanks. Keep the videos coming.

[@PaulWillcocks]

Hi Dean, no the bottle holders didn't come with the pack but did come from the same company, here's a link www.zpacks.com/accessories/shoulderpouch.shtml

[@deanharvey2920]

Paul many thanks.

[@Adventure-Cornish]

Hi Paul, Very good video mate, I like the duel video aspect (are you using the new GoPro fusion ?) Glad you didn't wake up in a river Lol ATB Mike #StayCornish

[@PaulWillcocks]

No i was just using my mobile phone

[@BravingTheOutDoors]

Do you know how much you spent on the tent with the exchange, shipping and customs fees?

[@brucewallace2]

A Zpaks Duomid tent if I'm not mistaken? Much better that the likes of a Terra Nova which is shit.

[@PaulWillcocks]

Bruce Wallace no it's a Zpacks Duplex. It's a bit expensive but well worth it in my opinion.

[@paulsoutdooradventures1790]

Looks nice n wet there mate lol. Will be going myself soon in a few weeks time for a night maybe two How many miles would u say it was walk fro the reservoir to lint’s tor and how’s the parking there aswell is it free and safe area

[@PaulWillcocks]

I think its about 3.5 miles from Meldon Reservoir to Lints Tor. There is an honesty box on the side of the public toilets and its £1 pre car. I don't know how safe it is, all I know is that my car was still there in the morning.

[@paulsoutdooradventures1790]

Paul Willcocks THANKYOU ok that’s kl lol just I know Dartmoor are gonna start charging in all the carparks but not sure when this is gonna start

[@johnho2006]

really intrigued about the App for the dual camera work, as I am literally a point and shoot one take person, I have not worked out editing yet, I use a Google pixel phone, I do have a iphone 5, but the camera is not as good the google camera, you will have to, do a tutorial video on the dual camera work

[@PaulWillcocks]

john horsfall I'm using my Samsung galaxy S6 edge phone which is a couple of years old now but still takes good video and photos. The app is just the standard camera app that came with the phone.

[@snowymatrix]

Yeah it's a good idea to give the tent a test in a bit of wind before the Hebridean Way!

[@PaulWillcocks]

maybe next weekend, work permitting.
