WALKING AND WILD CAMPING ON THE NORTH DOWNS WAY | PART 8: DETLING TO LENHAM | TERRA NOVA TENT

[@hurleyflyer263]

They have been using the MSM to try and stop wild camping. Two reports, both bogus imho, one in Scotland and the other in the Lake district. Both obviously staged by the press. I've seen litter lift and fire scares, never three or four tents and rubbish left strewn around, like in these obvious MSM staged reports. Obviously starting the negative opinion for the stupid masses. Back to your vid, I knew one of you was coming back up for the camera lol, nice camp with excellent views. Another portion of the walk under your belt Tom.

Bang on the money there mate, I was thinking the same thing too.

[@antonycrow1657]

There is a youtuber called rusty and the woodman . He does his camping in scotland and did a video recently showing the trouble they were having up there . It was heartbreaking to see the mound of crap people had left.

[@marky5755]

Another thoroughly enjoyable and relaxing video mate.

Thanks tom. I'm a kent man and do many of these walks with the wife and 2 teenage boys who love the outdoors. They always say if these paths could talk the story's they could tell. Thanks for sharing the history along the way. Great content, and keep em coming.

[@antonycrow1657]

I have just got myself a terra nova. Can't wait to use it.great vid.

[@jamesoutandaboutn.i227]

Looks a brilliant camp well done 👍

[@GraysOutdoors]

Lovely one Tom. Stunning. ATB. Grays

[@nigelh3253]

Another good one! I do like the walk, wild camp, walk format - it gives the video a good story and a purpose. Tom, my favourite outdoor videos on the tube!

[@almontepaolilli7531]

Glad to see that you can camp again. I know you missed it during the lockdown. Great video.

[@peterturner9941]

Great video Tom. I live in this part of the world and can confirm the views over Maidstone from the North Downs Way and Pilgrims Way are epic. Lovely walks are also to be had along the river Medway, river Loose and Greensand ridge are to be had too!

[@TOM_OUTDOORS]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@KentEnglandTravel]

Love these walks in Kent, Cheers

[@dimuss9553]

Thank you again. Will have to look up Thurnham Castle and the Dirty Habit next time I'm down there. What a changable summer we are having. Heatwaves and rainstorms!

[@Romanoruv]

Cheers Tom. I got inspired by your videos and ordered a Vango Nevis 300 since the tent I got is almost 8Lb. Our Norwegian mountains are fantastic.

[@blister4walken]

Haha. Bit at the end reminded me of the start of some of the Monty Python TV Show episodes. Great stuff. Bit of a damp one.

[@TOM_OUTDOORS]

Glad you enjoyed it

🤣😂 Well done Tom and Luke! I wondered who would go back for the camera...don’t try that with Candice Tom!! Luke’s shorts 🩳 were the business 😁, the best I’ve seen on Tom Outdoors! Keep up the good work 👍

[@danielkelly6587]

hi tom another great video those night shots you did by the tent were pretty awesome look like aliens were coming down to beam you up a good spot to camp stay safe and will see you on the next one

[@TOM_OUTDOORS]

Haha thanks mate the idea was to look like aliens had turned up! Would love to do a spoof video where we're out wild camping and get abducted by aliens lol.

[@BadHairAdventures]

Well done guys. Cracking it out!

[@PHARRAOH]

Imagine how it was for them a few hundred years back, walking from place to place in he old trails, worried about being robbed, killed, catching plagues, fining food. With all those worries on the table, I, would still give anything to have been among it all, seen the sights. I don't know if you have ever read the pillars of earth but wow, your mind will travel, then worlds without end will continue the story. Very cool your able to walk some of the same trails. Cheers Tom.

[@thecampingastronomer8554]

Great wild camp spot and entertaining video. I'm planning on going to Cissbury Ring next week for a camp so keeping my fingers crossed for decent weather 🤞

[@ancientpathseeker6036]

Love these backpacking trips...and the accent...I'm from Alabama, so I've got a little bit of an accent myself. 🙃Thank you for sharing these trips!😊❤

[@wellsgb1957]

Nice one Tom.... good the gentlemen! 👍🏻

[@christopherheppingstall3608]

You can see why they built it there. Great surrounding view. Great spot.

[@michaelvandromme]

Love to go on a wild camp with you Tom! Stuck in stinky East London. Need some more outdoor life!

[@TOM_OUTDOORS]

Sounds great!

[@SapperPhish]

Awesome vid m8. Quality!

[@johnblake535]

Feel homesick Tom!

[@foodbangladesh202]

Wow excellent place 🤔🤔🤔🤔

[@KentishOutdoorsman]

Dirty habit does good food as well. My ex cycled from there to Reculver was quite hard for her, about 5 hours I think.Lenham has a good fish n chips shop

[@wandera2927]

You're more than welcome, hope you enjoyed, soon be finished, Dover is nearly in sight.

[@TOM_OUTDOORS]

Thanks again!

[@garyparker5012]

Is that regatta pack away jacket any good I’m looking at getting one to cut my pack weight down

[@TOM_OUTDOORS]

It's OK. You get what you pay for lol.

[@checkmate2111]

Does anyone know what kind of trees are at 4:56, thanks.

[@artoleus]

There is a footpath out. You go up the hill past the castle and then there are some dodgy steps the other side going steeply down to a stile.

[@eddiebaldwin6228]

It mustve been windy there cos that poor bloke got blown away hangin on to his hamock. 😂😂😂

[@TOM_OUTDOORS]

Haha I just got this! The paragliders!
