Such a lovely spot there Hedley i could almost smell that beautiful Ridgeway Air in this video with the wind blowing. Top video again thoroughly enjoyed
That is a very good tent Hedley, as I have seen. And what a fantastic location. I'd love to wake up and look out at that beautiful scenery in the morning. Cheers, Warren :)
Hi Hedley, it looked really dry and wild in the punchbowl, some great aerial footage👌👌. Interesting discussion on tents and customer service. Next time camping? All the best
Beautiful footage Hedley! I walked past the Devil's Puncbowl towards the end of a recent expedition (in the "A Bit of the Ridgeway and a Wild Camp" video) and the brief glimpse I got of it then was quite impressive. Great to be able to see it in more detail here!
@@tweedyoutdoors I do seem to recall that video yes, though I will re-watch it. From The Ridgeway the splendour isn't apparent, you can only really see it from afar. In fact, you can't see it from the Vale either really. The hill with the beech trees where I shot this is a very tempting overnight pitch...
Very nice place and the tent looks great. Beautiful drone images at the end. I think the weather and sky was a bit better for you on the Blorenge last time👍 All the best on your next one soon👋
@@hedleythorne Very good👌 It's only 35 minutes away for me I was in high winds on Pen y Fan last Friday, it snapped my tent pole at 1am. There's some great places up this way. I've been to a few bothies. Looking forward to your next Blorenge camp vid👍
Hopefully the Fjallraven proves to be a long laster with no issues. My Terra Nova dates back to the mid 1990s and is still going. Quality lasts and when its outdoor kit you don't skimp as failures can ruin your trip. Love the lone walker in the landscape drone shots.
Did you visit Uffington White Horse and Waylands Smithy? Interesting the dark green colour of your tent was quite conspicuous in that landscape. Maybe the sand colour would blend in a little more.
@@pauljacks3014 you’re probably right about the colour of the tent to be honest, maybe a Welsh pine forest would be better! I live nearby so visit Uffington area often yes, I love it up there. Thanks for watching
I personally prefer the Fjallraven, but a friend of mine recently ditched his and went to an Akto, he's happy. I think the Akto is the better cold weather tent, but the ventilation is not great. Interseting debate Hedley.
@DavidEardley-ul9pz thank you. I think they are really close, I just hope Fjallraven customer service is better than I have heard. The Abisko is definitely more versatile and I think more comfortable.
Fjallraven don’t have any customer service unfortunately. They do make great high quality tents but if something goes wrong or it isn’t right you are on your own sadly. I would never buy a tent new made by them ever again. I would and have bought a second hand tent of theirs though just because of the cost saving. I have an Abisko View 2 and an Abisko Endurance 4.
@mulreid thank you, that has kind of confirmed my fears. Agree the tents are incredible however if I ever have any customer service nightmares with them I may become vocal! Thanks for warching, Dartmoor next!
