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:
The Armytek Wizard C2 Flashlight

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

@grahamswildcamping 5 месяцев назад

Thanks Dad 👍

@Fell_Wanderer 5 месяцев назад

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 5 месяцев назад

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 🤘🤘👍👍

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 5 месяцев назад

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 👍

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

@grahamswildcamping 5 месяцев назад

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 👍

@MarkOutdoors_ 5 месяцев назад

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 5 месяцев назад

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 5 месяцев назад

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 5 месяцев назад

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 👍

@MarkSweeting_ 5 месяцев назад

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

@grahamswildcamping 5 месяцев назад

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 👍

@kirstythomas7253 5 месяцев назад

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

@grahamswildcamping 5 месяцев назад

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 👍

@The12thSagittarian 5 месяцев назад

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 5 месяцев назад

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 5 месяцев назад

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 5 месяцев назад

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

@Fell_Wanderer 5 месяцев назад

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 5 месяцев назад

🤣🤣 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 🤘🤘

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 😩

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 👍

@donnavansenior 5 месяцев назад

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 5 месяцев назад

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 😂
