VIDEO: SW Coast Path, Devon UK October 2015

[GadgetUK437]

This has been languishing on my hard drive for far too long. A little overnighter from when I was just starting out with hammocks.
Went westwards from Lynton to Parracombe, via the Valley of the Rocks, Woody Bay and Hunters Inn. Not a long trip, 19km (12 miles), but I was toting 18.5kg, 40lb. It's been an enlightening year for me (and a lightening one too), last month I went out with a pack size less than half that... and a correspondingly lighter bank balance too!

(20 minutes of me bimbling, concise version in next post)

Great stuff. Nice bit of "Buggered Bed Ballet"there too.

Yer, despite how it looks, I wasn't in danger of falling on my stove. I just hadn't accounted for the steep slope sliding me towards it!

Off for another coast and combes overnighter next month with some chaps from the trek-lite forum, if you'd like to tag along.

A very entertaining watch, always enjoy your videos.
I get what you are saying re the hammock camping on steep slopes & ease of movement.

But I always look for those type of spots when wild camping, because there is less chance of dog walkers or others disturbing you.

Thanks for sharing.
