[@kenhenley7599]

A really nice walk and a great video. You are fortunate indeed to live so close to some superb walking / camping. And yes, you have a lovely family.

[@SummitOrNothing]

Yep, I look forward to really getting to know the Moors now that I live within spitting distance. Thanks for watching!

[@Foxtrottangoabc]

You should of popped down to show them the Highwayman at Sourton, one of the most unique pubs in Britain. Great video makes me feel homesick though 🙁

[@MartinPopeFilmmaker]

Excellent video as always mate. Loved those tripod shots of the dam at Meldon . The lost shoe bit was great entertainment. 👍👍

[@SummitOrNothing]

Cheers Martin. Couldn't believe how far her shoe travelled to reach that river hahaha. Thanks for watching!

[@heroutdoors8055]

Nice video Trev. Great to get out and about with the family too. We've just got home from a weekend on the moor, so this video was a nice way to relax after the strains of walking.

[@SummitOrNothing]

Glad to here we helped you unwind from a weekend of exploring. Hard work, I know. Thanks for watching!

[@chrisdavies3825]

[@linedwell]

Enjoyed this video. You've got a beautiful family too. 👍👍

[@SummitOrNothing]

Thanks very much!

[@pennywise146]

Beautiful part of the Moor...this was the area my Dad and I camped when I was a kid...and I’ve been going back ever since...never tire being there. I have never got on with water bladders of any description...give me a screw top any day of the week😊👍🏻 P.S Another great vid btw👍🏻

[@SummitOrNothing]

Yep, no where quite like Dartmoor. I hear ya about the water bladders. After days of rinsing with bicarb of soda the bloody thing still tasted like tcp too. Thanks for watching!

[@rayanderson921]

Another top drawer video mate, lovely walk too. Might have to venture up to the Gorge at some point

[@SummitOrNothing]

It's well worth looking into Lydford gorge. Tis a beauty place to explore.

[@jonnyb.484]

Great vid Trev. Just around the corner from me. Tiz bootiful yer.

[@SummitOrNothing]

I spend quite a bit of time in this area, so will keep my eyes peeled for you! Cheers Jonathan..

[@davekirkwood9076]

Another goodun Trev, those water bladders are going further down my list of hiking kit.. After this vid I will probably never get one. Keep it up, your Vids are something to look forward to on a Sunday night... And the odd midweek review.... Beautiful family mate...

[@SummitOrNothing]

Yea I've tried the bladders twice now, not that impressed myself. The bloody thing still tasted like chemicals even after cleaning it through all week. Cheers for watching!

[@davekirkwood9076]

@@SummitOrNothing have you had any feedback from the supplier yet?

[@stubloggs6358]

Bit of a shame about the uni-gear bladder, never mind Trev at least you were honest about it, some you-tubers would not have mentioned it.......nice walk and good to see your family again.......cheers...Stu..

[@KatandDogs]

Great video. And you are so natural at talking to the camera. Have you been vlogging for long?

[@SummitOrNothing]

Thanks Kat (and dog) - I have been doing it for about four and a half years.

[@bigfatpear]

you have a bloody nice family there.great vid

[@SummitOrNothing]

Thanks very much. Good to get them outdoors and away from screens. Thanks for watching!

[@welshrambler1893]

Enjoyable video and timing just right because planning to walk it next week. Shame about the water carrier but the connections seem the weak points of the bladders. Good to see the rest of the family like walking.

[@SummitOrNothing]

Cool well glad to give you a glimpse of what you can expect. Enjoy yourself. And thanks for watching!

[@joeutb8619]

Great video as always mate, is there any other big mountain hikes coming?

[@SummitOrNothing]

cheers Joe. Its been a year of upheaval so far which has put me off track a bit, but, yes, I have a mountain hike planned for the summer. Stay tuned!

[@joeutb8619]

Summit Or Nothing That’s great to hear, keep up the great content mate

[@Destro7000]

You're right up my alley dude. I'm trying to do some hiking vids and I covered those particular Tors too. Not as good production quality as you, just trying to get my Dad hiking after his hip operation. We're trying to do a South-North "Western Line" of Tors along Dartmoor's west boundary. Hopefully will manage High Willhays at some point! Enjoying watching a few of your vids! :)

[@SummitOrNothing]

Sounds great - its one of my favourite areas (that and Merrivale) - although worth checking High Willhays (highest point south of the Brecon Beacons) its sister tor Yes Tor is far more impressive, so check that whilst youre up there. Thanks for watching, and good luck with your own blogs! Hope your dad makes a speedy recovery!

[@Destro7000]

Doesn't it seem weird how High Willhays is sort of always 'hidden' behind Yes Tor from most of the vantage points along the road from Okehampton down to south Devon? It's like it's hiding behind its sibling. Still would like to reach both! -And thanks, I hope he does too.

[@rialobran]

Nice one, I've done the full route Plympton to Barnstaple/Braunton in stages. It's well worth it, but the best section is Lydford to Plympton...though Plympton isn't great, in my humble opinion.

[@SummitOrNothing]

Yea I think I will have to start taking these walks, a relaxing change to the hard slog on the Moors. Thanks for watching

[@HikeCamp]

Well that piece of kit turned out to be disappointing... Good excuse for your family to join you on this one!!

[@SummitOrNothing]

Yea it was a shame but lucky I was close enough to base camp to swap it out. I was almost at At Ives on a remote stretch of the SWCP. That would have been a nightmare. Cheers for watching,Max

[@blackdogwildtrails3123]

Those water bladder things are pretty pointless for walkers. I can see their use if you are a fell runner or sea kayaker but if you do other activities like walking, climbing or underground exploration, you might as well just pack a good water bottle and take a glug now and again. I've got a new one I've been given and I can't wait to pass it on to some other mug! They're just a pointless gimmick as far as I'm concerned, like a lot of outdoor gear that the manufacturers tell us are a 'must have'!
