A Windy Night In The Hills. 

Thanks for watching Dan , it’s a lovely area for hiking and camping . Atb Dave ⛺️👍

@@BorderRambler You're very welcome, Dave. Hope that you are well. Take care!

I’m normally ok in winds for sleeping , think it was just one of those bad nights sleeping or trying 😂 yes some group camps do end up messy 🍺🍺😂

Yeah it was a big step day as I back tracked to the wall camp spot, tent was solid I think it was just me not having a good sleep and feeling grumpy 😂 ooooh new tent will it be revealed soon then ? as always any camp however good or bad is always good to be out .. and we still do it again and again lol tfw atb Dave ⛺️👍

Glad you enjoyed it Kerry , yeah tasted better than it looked lol , I’m up that way tomorrow for Moffat walking festival but no camp as early shift Monday 😂 tfw atb Dave

Thanks Terry , these were the milk chocolate ones lol . you’re right if I had to I would stay in a bothy just not 1st choice. atb Dave

look of the draw lol , glad you still enjoyed your trip 🚲👍

Thanks Alan , yeah I’m glad I stayed out as I was just going to can it , tent did ok hidden behind the wall . And getting a dry walk out is always a bonus . TFW at. Dave ⛺️👍

I did think of camping on Ettrick pen , but not many walls to hide behind lol , I will return to do a camp up there ⛺️👍

Yes it was Graham, handled it just fine 💨💨⛺️👍

Totally agree.

Thanks Jiffy, yeah the walls really do make a difference on a windy camp. All good pal atb Dave ⛺️👍

Glad you enjoyed it Andrew, bothies aren’t everyone’s cup of tea and I would always prefer to pitch up in my tent or bivi. And anyone can land at anytime day or night ! tfw atb Dave

Thanks Stevie , your right there the wind plays a massive factor that’s for sure 😂💨 atb Dave

You might have a long wait Annie , I was gonna head out tonight but binned that 😂😂 so no camping this weekend for me 😱

Thanks mate , I deffo made the right call for the conditions . Tent held solid atb Dave ⛺️👍

Cheers Adrian , yes I do like a good wall to hide behind that’s for sure. I don’t normally mind the flapping , it was just one of those restless night 😂 Supermarkets do plenty of cheap packet meals , so I will be going down this route from now on. enjoy your camp , it’s still a bit blowy on the west side atb Dave ⛺️👍

Thank you for watching atb Dave

Thanks Dave , other side of the valley from when you were up there. Nowt this weekend as the weather is pure shite 😂😂 tfw Dave ⛺️👍

Yeah the rewilding valley I am hoping to do myself sometime soon, it was windy old camp for sure atb Dave

Thanks Gordon , a wild windy one atb Dave

Yes a nice area and very quiet ⛺️

Thanks Jim , yeah the meal did a job but was pure shite for what it cost . Once there gone it’s cheap supermarket pasta meals for me 👍

Thanks Darren , I sold a few ⛺️so have a limited number now 😂😂 tfw atb Dave

It was feeling at one stage it might be a day walk 😂 but my trusty old spot saved the day . tfw atb Dave ⛺️👍

Absolutely Geordie , saved the night again. £ silly money for those dehydrated ones, I will stick to pasta packets and other cheaper options for meals . Bothies are not really ideal for solo camping imo lol

@@BorderRambler its weird i can solo wild camp but wouldn't stay in a bothy on my tod🥴🤔

This was Monday night just gone Robert , before the so called storm which was just a wet and windy day in my book 😂

@@BorderRambler ahh yeah. No different night but was also a weather warming night

Normally my mic works ok in the wind but it was a struggle at times on this one 🤷‍♂️ . Happy hiking 👍

Glad you enjoyed it atb Dave ⛺️👍

You’re right Si , maybe not the best camp but being out is always a great feeling. tfw atb Dave

Yeah always need a plan B Anthony , rain stayed away thankfully . Hope your recovering ok 👍 atb Dave

No worries , I’m just little old me lol all filmed on a GoPro and iPhone . I’m currently in the market for a Brompton to use on some bike touring trips , so found your videos very helpful . And I agree free Bromptons on the NHS 👍

@@BorderRambler Bromptons are so versatile and the fact you can take em in shops and cafes to evade the thieves is great. Btw I loved the area around St Cuthberts Way, maybe I should tackle the Southern Uplands Way or St Oswalds Way next year to see a bit more.

Glad you enjoyed it Ian , one day we will do a trip into the hills for a camp ⛺️👍

@@BorderRambler very much look forward to it mate⛺️👍🏻

Absolutely spot on Snowy, I don’t mind a scary cabin in the woods tho 💀👻👍

First off thanks for the coffee it’s much appreciated . I have both of those shelters and still use the Lanshan 1 pro, but mostly just 3 seasons. The mld having more guy outs and plenty of room can be used all year round. Obviously you could use the Lanshan in the winter but I prefer a little more room . But if you’re not planning to camp in winter the LP1 will be just fine. I just wouldn’t camp in locations if the forecast was really mental. Also there is the price factor of the mld , they’re not cheap 😂 atb Dave ⛺️👍

@@BorderRambler you're welcome Dave, yeah I have the lanshan and it took a hammering on the moors last weekend. Survived but I thought I was about to get blown off the tor. I have a pioneer 2 which I love and is an easy winter option. However over the summer I've really got into tarp camping and hammock, also using the lanshan, so wondered like you said if the mld would be more stable. See you have the CBF version. I'd be going for sil poly. Which with import and shipping is still a chunk to lay out. Thanks again for the reply and look forward to your next vid 👍🏻

@@dannyknight8082 I have bought 2 from mld and each time no import duties , occasionally you get them appear on eBay too. They are deffo more solid in wind than a Lanshan 💨👍

Thanks Hardy , weather, work and man flu stop play 😂😂 planning to be out soon tho . Hope your well too

@@BorderRambler I’m good mate, even managed a mountain camp myself. Hopefully will finish editing it soon. Looking forward to to the next video.

Excellent , have a great night in the hills. I struggled for a signal on my camp so just had the radio for company . Atb Dave ⛺️👍
