Tarp and Bivy on Hedgehope the second highest hill in Northumberland

I set off for an explore of some hills around Hedgehope going to the Great Standrop and Little Standrop on the way, It was a misty evening with fast disappearing views, but I woke to Glorious sunshine and magical views of the Cheviot and surrounding hills.
Cheviot is 815 m and Hedgehope 714 m

My best friend was given 6 months to live on March 1st this year. He was taken to hospital against his will and we're hoping to get him into a hospice tomorrow, but I live by bedside or phone side - I can't camp at the moment. I'm not fishing for sympathy, I am much loved by friends and family but these videos truly help me. Anybody looking at me can see what I am - a broken man. I desperately need the solace of solitude but won't be able to get it until my friend dies. So I'm in a pretty bleak place right now, but your calming voice the beautiful scenery, no music have a very medicinal effect on me. Certainly worth a couple of brews, cheers!

[@northumberlandmountainhopper]

Hi and thanks for watching, kind words indeed, much appreciated, I am sorry for your rough times, life is so hard at times, As for me I camp to keep my life calm as I sometimes have challenging times to deal with due to SEND issues, So glad you enjoy the videos and they help, Cheers till the next one

[@gritstoneedge]

Nice video. Cheviots look good in the morning light. Thanks.

[@northumberlandmountainhopper]

Hi and thanks for watching Glad you liked the views It was worth the misty night Cheers

[@fraserconnell21]

Yes, cheviots are beutiful 😊. 👏👍🏼

[@northumberlandmountainhopper]

Hi and thanks for watching It’s a lovely remote area Cheers

[@cheviotoutdoors]

Tough old climb that Adrian, my fellow camper Bob hates it 😂 Nice little bivvy setup as well 👍

[@northumberlandmountainhopper]

Hi Dave thanks for watching, I enjoy the struggles up the hills, not sure our north east wind favours a tarp on the summit Cheers

[@cheviotoutdoors]

@@northumberlandmountainhopper yeah the summits aren’t particularly tarp friendly, especially this year with the lack of summer weather. Well done for persevering though 👍

[@dawnangelawalker]

Last time I went up Hedgehope I walked up to Cunyan crags and over Dunmoor hill and then up Hedgehope. Bit of up and down but at least it cut the road out. Its sad how the path up to Linhope is showing the damage from Arwen. Thanks for sharing your trip Adrian.

[@northumberlandmountainhopper]

It boils my piss and blood the total lack of respect that folk have for our country. 🤬🤬🤬 Great camp and nice footage 🎥

[@northumberlandmountainhopper]

Hi and thanks for watching This valley has a stretch of parking grass by a stream and after a nice day they find all sorts nappies etc etc It’s best to go to the out of way places if you don’t want to witness peoples behaviour Cheers

[@jimmy.mccutcheon.1961]

Nice one Adrian 👍 Been up that way before.. back via Dunmoor Hill & Cunyan crags.. 🤝

[@northumberlandmountainhopper]

Hi and thanks for watching Glad you enjoyed it It’s a nice but rough route Cheers

[@otf.outdoors]

Spot on Adrian mate, good hike up to the summit, hedgehope is bit of a tough and boggy climb, but the views are great when it’s clear, although it’s always been windy and cold wh,en I camped there 🤣, it’s beyond me why people want to light fires on the grass and ruin it 🤬 and spoil it for others to enjoy, the wind looked like it picked up for you in the morning, nice one mate, enjoyed the video, atb Mick 👍

[@northumberlandmountainhopper]

Hi mick and thanks for watching, yes a tough climb, views in the morning were great, Tarp and wind were not a good combination in the morning, why does our wind change sides so frequently. Cheers Adrian

[@MSIOutdoors]

Great vid, that trap was more like a sail in that wind. Some people are just so disrespectful, can’t believe there was so many fire pits 🤬.

[@northumberlandmountainhopper]

Hi and thanks for watching, lol yes I woke up with the wind straight at me, that’s the Cheviots for you, the wind can change in minutes, will have to drop down from summits if I am going to just use the Tarp and Bivy, The day trippers have no respect just out for an hour or two and wreck it ! Cheers

[@grahamswildcamping]

Fantastic Adrian, that looked so bleak and atmospheric up there.

[@northumberlandmountainhopper]

Hi Graham, honestly I loved the walk up hard but so bleak Not so sure a tarp and summit camp works lol From an evening wind break to a sail lol Cheers till our next one

[@themountainmen9484]

Ahh as always Adrian a delight to see you utilise the tarp n bivi, I saw your border ridge adventures and had to go! And now I'm going to have to follow your footsteps through Ingram to hedgehope, may skip the spout visit, I do enjoy it but the fore scars and litter make me rage, you can guarantee the people who do this return to their friends and encompass a great love and passion for the outdoors and all its beauty, I've witnessed it first hand😡 Anyway, I'm excited to get out there again, stratosphere and stash G2 combo! Thanks for sharing

[@northumberlandmountainhopper]

Hi and thanks for watching glad you enjoyed it, can’t beat the fun in using a tarp with the bivy, on reflection with no rain due I should have dropped the tarp at bedtime, as it served as an evening wind break, but as you know our wind takes no prisoners and can change in a minute !!! Say no more on the spout the valley it’s self is a litter haven after a nice day, you will know the bit by the stream,I know the house keeper and game keeper and they collect nappies and all sorts !! Cheers

[@dekacoombe4595]

Nice one mate , good walk in and out of camp that mind , a very exposed camp too but you did it again , thanks Adrian atb Deka 👍🏻👌🏻💯

[@northumberlandmountainhopper]

Hi Deka and thanks for watching Summit camps Cheviot wind and a tarp emmm lol I had some nice views to make up for it Cheers

[@paganoutdoors3193]

Another cracking camp Adrian, definitely abit different the summit camps ,that's for sure, proper bushwacking on the way back, cool video, hopefully I'm up Northumberland way for afew days nxk weekend, pop in see my daughter in Newcastle, then north bound , cant wait, good health and safe travels my friend, cheers craig

[@northumberlandmountainhopper]

Hi Craig thanks for watching, yes summits and tarps are not a good combination especially on the Cheviots as the wind is so changeable, Perhaps I will see you on a hill Cheers

[@paganoutdoors3193]

@northumberlandmountainhopper it'll be a sml hill lol, mobility isn't the strongest but I'm pig headed so meh, lol, weather dependent, may do a coastal camp as well ,atb craig

It would be interesting to see who exactly is making the mess and letting the local conservation dept know.

Hi and thanks for watching It’s just day trippers, this valley is a tourist and day tripper magnet, there is an area by a stream with large grass areas and it’s heaving on a nice day, then there is the litter Disposable barbecues, nappies etc etc the people in the valley clean it up People !!!!! This is why my normal videos are in more remote areas Cheers
