Even the rain can’t quite spoil a walk there. I can’t be certain after so many years but I’m fairly certain that I spent the night in that cave to shelter from the rain. Back in the 1970s equipment, especially tents, wasn’t quite as lightweight as now so it was a toss up between a night in there or dealing with a wet tent (waterproofed cotton) in the morning.
Amazing! I considered that myself at one point, I think it would have been a great experience but a little cold as I didn't have my sleeping bag or roll mat with me, I have a small mat I use to sit on and my down jacket just in case but I honestly think I would have been ok
@@NickGoesHiking from what I could see the stone looks worn smooth with countless feet over the years. The tent we and my mate were carrying was a Good Companion Standard made by Blacks.
@markshrimpton3138 That's right yeah, it's worn smooth, I used to take all my kit with me when hiking so normally would have had my roll mat, sleeping bag and a 1 man lanshan, but I recently switched to a day pack on these 1 day hikes so have none of that I'd love to spend a night I there, would be a priceless memory that
Another brilliant video and hike, I think I prefer this new direction you're going in with just the ambience, I do miss the little talking moments though, maybe you could do two edits? That's if it's not too much trouble? I for one would watch them both
Awesome, Yeah, to be honest I kinda always wanted to do them this way but wasn't very good at editing and adding the audio to the drone parts so they were just silent and it felt awkward, now I know how to do that and I saw that one of my silent vids is now my most watched I thought I would try this way, hopefully it works out, thanks for watching :)
I found this The caves have been used for thousands of years to provide shelter. Evidence has been found that Ice Age hunters used them as bases during their hunting forays. Later, Neolithic farmers used caves like Reynards Cave to bury their dead.
Here's a link to the trail, not sure what the park is called, I noticed on the trail there is a place called New Park Manor though, So I guess part of it may be www.alltrails.com/trail/england/hampshire/brockenhurst-and-lyndhurst-circular
Looks like a great hike and day was had! Castle Drogo does sound an awful lot like a game of thrones location 😂 the dothraki leader was Kal'drogo, I'm wondering if Martin was familiar with this place
In my 7ps now, we used to camp in the New Forest near Ringwood as a child. Mu dad came from Ringwood and moved away with the forces. In the days of us camping you used to to the first rangers House, get a permit and go and camp where you said you would. We always camped where my dad used to camp as a boy scout. It's a lovely forest.
