Wild Camp on Deadwater Fell| Kielder | Hilleberg Akto | Testing the Armytek Wizard C2 flashlight

Deadwater Fell feels remote, desolate and eerie.
A brilliant place to get some good Northumbrian cold into my bones.
The weather didn't dissapoint- rained for hours overnight and we woke up in a cloud with swirling droplets eveywhere
We explored Specere, the Kielder artwork/ shelter and got some great images of the radar station.
I tested a new bit of kit:

When your hillwalking days are over great to follow your wild camping. Brings back good memories.

[@grahamswildcamping]

Thanks Dad 👍

[@Fell_Wanderer]

The most exhilarating experience in the hills is from the wind and rain lashing against your shelter when you're warm and cosy inside. With only a thin and vunerable layer of fabric to keep you safe from the elements and at the mercy of Mother Nature.

[@grahamswildcamping]

For sure. That's one of the things I love about wild camping, that feeling of being so close to the elements, yet being protected. Love it! Cheers Damian 🤘🤘👍👍

[@northeastwildcamper]

Nice see you out Graham love place been there a few times nice mits canny touch mate 👍

[@grahamswildcamping]

Thanks- been 6 weeks since I was out! It’s a great place, very atmospheric 👍

[@northeastwildcamper]

@@grahamswildcamping it is a great place mate long time for me too September last time 👍

[@360OutdoorAdventures]

Great video Graham that looked a great place to camp, interesting with the radar station and stunning views. Mate those burgers looked incredible, I bet they were amazing. I like the look of that head torch looks great. Thanks for sharing buddy, have an awesome weekend atb, Garry

[@grahamswildcamping]

Thank you, it’s a fascinating place up there. Those venison burgers were good- I’ll be getting some more of them. Have a good weekend yourself mate, ATB, Graham 👍

[@northumberlandmountainhopper]

Hi Graham, nice camp, lucky you had no wind, we are plagued with wind lately, unusual spot well found. Cheers Adrian

[@grahamswildcamping]

Hi Adrian, yep, it’s a funny old spot, great views when the conditions are right though 👍

[@macinthewild8116]

Burgers looked ace mate. Nice mits too! Shame about the low cloud and rain overnight though 👍

[@grahamswildcamping]

Venison was spot on 👍 good burgers from that place. The weather never really spoils a camp. It was bleak and desolate- just what I needed after a holiday in the sun! ATB mate 👍

[@tamirew9247]

David Tennant hahaha and I’m not even British. That was Cheviot “hill”arious. Glad you did keep it in your content. Always such a pleasure to find that you’ve uploaded again!

[@grahamswildcamping]

Thank you, you’re too kind! I’m glad someone appreciates the dad jokes 😆 I must watch the David Tennent series- I haven’t yet. Thanks for watching and all the very best, Graham 👍👍

[@MarkOutdoors_]

Cracking camp. Looked a tricky place to navigate too. The wooden structure looks good to be in when it windy as it looks like it can give some cover too. Atb Mark.

[@grahamswildcamping]

Thanks Mark, I think the navigation is probably easy enough, we were just having a bad day! Mind you, Kielder is full of walking and bike trails that don’t necessarily appear on an OS map. Great place to explore and camp up there. ATB, Graham 👍

[@thegeordiewildcamper]

Nice camp Graham not a place ive been before but looks like it has some great views. Good to brush of the camping cobwebs after holiday. ATB Steven

[@grahamswildcamping]

Yeah, it was good to get all that Fuertaventuran sun out of my bones and experience some good old Northumbrian cold. Fantastic place up there for blowing the cobwebs away, ATB, Graham 👍

[@The12thSagittarian]

Hi Graham....my favorite place dead water fell. I did a bivi many moons ago in the shelter...it was freezing lol. I think you've just gave me a diagnose of your condition....when my fingers get cold they turn white and numb...though it was a natural thing from the cold....not a condition, ive never heard of Raynaud's syndrom. I know that cave well.....its nick named pedens cave as the cross is named pedens cross. Im sure its in one of my vids going back atleast 11 year lol. Great camp but unsure about the joke lol. Cheers for bringing us along Take care

[@grahamswildcamping]

Hi Mick, I remember watching your videos when you bivvied in the shelter, it looked great, I considered doing that but ended up taking the tent. Just as well that night, because in the morning the shelter was soaked through. Thanks for the information on the cave: that's really interesting, I didn't expect anyone to know about that. I was trying to read the name on the stone plinth. I've found little stone crosses all over the Kielder area but don't know what they represent. Yeah, I'm not sure about the jokes either lol Cheers Mick, and thanks for watching, ATB, Graham

[@jamesbell5788]

Hey Mick I watched that video that's what inspired me to go there for those magnificent views.

[@MarkSweeting_]

Nice one. Popular with mountain bikers. There's a red and black route there too. Enjoyed watching 👍

[@grahamswildcamping]

Thank you, there were signs we were on an MTB path so we were very careful- didn't want to get clattered and damage an expensive bike! I think it was closed though as there were plenty of cut logs over the track, TFW, ATB, Graham 👍

[@Fell_Wanderer]

Those burgers looked tasty, I wish my meat would stay really big and thick when I want it to haha!. The cave with the cross inside was interesting, shame your camera didnt't record. I looked on keys to the past and found nothing about it. Plenty of history in that area and I've never been up Deadwater Fell. Seems a decent torch, been contacted by the same company not long ago and didn't reply but kind of wish I did now.

[@grahamswildcamping]

🤣🤣 ooh er missus! Aye, great burgers from that Moorhouse Farm Shop. I was a bit annoyed about not filming the cave as I'm sure it was my fault- musn't pressed record properly then didn't notice- oh well 🤷‍♂ It's a pretty good area to explore. The torch is quite canny actually, glad I took up the offer. Cheers Damian, thanks for watching 🤘🤘

[@kirstythomas7253]

Man, I am so hungry now! Those burgers looked the biz 🤤 Also, I think schnozzle may soon replace sprocket as my favourite word 😂

[@grahamswildcamping]

Ah, schnozzel, a good and useful word, just make sure it’s connected to the right valve. Burgers were very good but one would have done tbh, cheers K 👍

[@daz_on_earth]

Class mate, so I was at work the other day and the site gaffer was on about his mate making wild camping vids, I mentioned mine... turns out it was you he was on about haha... Steve M... you're famous in the construction industry haha great stuff :)

[@grahamswildcamping]

Haha, thats brilliant! Steve M? I grew up with him. Mint 😂👍

[@krruns4165]

Always enjoy your vids Graham and you get to some interesting places!!! I have my trip to the Cheviots soon. Not sure it's gonna be hillarious

[@grahamswildcamping]

Thanks a lot, that's much appreciated. Enjoy your trip, Cheviots are a great place with lots of opportunities, ATB, Graham

[@jamesbell5788]

Love it up there magnificent views.Great videos.

[@grahamswildcamping]

Thank you, that’s really kind and nice to hear, ATVB, Graham 👍

[@donnavansenior]

Nice one Graham - watched this in my tent last night up the Cheviots. Deadwater Fell is a canny old hike up so I've heard. Myself and Annie had a bit scout up that way last year, but we took the forest gravel track up and ran out of time before the real ascent started. It defo looks like a place I'd enjoy camping at, but it looks like pickings were slim for pitching. Your tent disappeared it was that stealthy! As always a great watch (apart from the dad jokes 🤣🤣) New torch looks good and hopefully the new gloves saved your fingers from suffering anymore than they usually do. TFS atb DVS :)

[@grahamswildcamping]

Thanks Donna, it really is a magic place to camp and the haul up wasn’t too bad at all, once we found the path up. You’re right, there’s not a lot of pitching up there though, but you can always find somewhere. The mitts were great- a good buy for the old hands. Thank you for watching- much appreciated! ATB, Graham 👍 P.s. I’m not sure about the dad jokes either 😂

[@belowaveragewildcamper]

Great video Graham. Looked a canny spot 🙏

[@grahamswildcamping]

It's mint up there, one of my favourite summits I think. Great place to camp, ATB, Graham 👍

[@cheviotoutdoors]

Canny spot Graham, I’ve eyed it up before but haven’t been there yet. I suffer from Raynaud’s and got those same mitts but haven’t got round to using them yet. Very painful condition 😩

[@grahamswildcamping]

The mittens worked really well for me, in a way that gloves don’t. It’s a unique place to spend the night, ATB, Graham 👍

[@SarahLee220]

Great video as usual

[@grahamswildcamping]

Thank you, very much appreciated 👍👍

Hill areas. Nearly fell off my chair laughing. Honest.

[@grahamswildcamping]

Lol, I did nearly cut it out but, well, there’s nothing like a dad joke, ATB, Graham 👍

[@frankcharlton2413]

Good camp ,do you get freezing cold feet aswell as your hands.

[@grahamswildcamping]

Thank you, my feet do get cold but don’t seem to suffer the arterial constriction I get in my hands. Those mitts were great TFW, Graham 👍

Yeah, we were quite wary when we realised. Kept an eye and an ear out 👍

Would you like any burgers with the cheese Graham ?? 😁😁. Great film as per your usual😊. Best wishes and keep on making the effort to find them fantastic tales of yor 😬🙏🫵👍🏼

[@grahamswildcamping]

Haha I think my burger/ cheese ratio changes when camping- you need those extra calories to keep you warm 😆 Thanks mate, much appreciated 👍
