A misty start to yesterday with a vegetarian all day breakfast courtesy of the British army. As much as I like my own dehydrated meals this has to be my favourite breakfast by far. #rationpack #vegetarian #wildcamping #wildcampinguk #ukwildcampers #ukwildcamping #dartmoor #britisharmy #dartmoor #dartmoorcollective #godartmoor #hiking #backpacking #walking
At first glance this may look rude 😂 But on closer inspection you'll see I'm filtering some Dartmoor stream water using the excellent Sawyer mini filter. I can highly recommend this bit of kit, as having used it for 2 years now it's made lightweight wild camping even more of a pleasure. No more having to carry heavy quantities of water which obviously restricts any long hikes.

Whenever @lostthepath goes wild camping with me we are cursed with bad weather. The moor knew that he was heading home this morning, so as expected we were greeted with a glorious sunrise. 🌅⛺#curseofphil #dartmoor #wildcamping #wildcampinguk #ukwildcamping #ukwildcampers #hiking #backpacking #walking #wilderness
As my tent was damaged and my right heel was developing a blister from 2 days of walking, we opted to camp near two bridges near the car, and had a couple of pints in princetown. I met a man at the farm who was manicuring the moss into faces of bears with a pair of scissors. He said his business is called "Magical unicorn gardens" and gave me what he claimed to be a magical Unicorn horn (A piece of selenite). You meet some characters on the moor! Can you see the bears in the third photo? 🐻 #dartmoor #wildcamping #wildcampinguk #ukwildcampers #ukwildcamping #hiking #backpacking #walking #wilderness
The final stage of the hike down into Hexworthy on Monday morning. #dartmoor #dartmoorcollective #wildcamping #wildcampinguk #ukwildcamping #walking #hiking #backpacking #hexworthy #wilderness
A break in the weather on the horizon yesterday morning. We took a break here at Ryders hill on the way back to civilisation. #rydershill #dartmoor #dartmoorcollective #godartmoor #hiking #wildcamping #wildcampinguk #ukwildcamping #backpacking #walking #wilderness
A misty walk back yesterday morning via Ryders hill and the Hen roost to Hexworthy. Four hours of boggy ground but easy compared to yesterday's six hour uphill route. #dartmoor #wildcamping #wildcampinguk #hiking #backpacking #walking
Monday morning and it's time for tea. A misty, wet and windy day ahead. #dartmoor #trangia #wildcamping #wildcampinguk #hiking #backpacking #wilderness #dartmoorcollective #godartmoor
Sunday night's wild camping spot amongst the ruins of huntingdon warren. Weather wise it was a mild and calm night. #wildcamping #wildcampinguk #hiking #backpacking #dartmoor #godartmoor #dartmoorcollective #wilderness
Next stop was the Huntingdon Barrow also known as the Heap of Sinners. A prehistoric cairn that's been messed with over the millennia. Great views over to the Avon dam reservoir from here. #huntingdonbarrow #heapofsinners #prehistoric #bronzeage #cairn #dartmoor #wildcamping #wildcampinguk #ukwildcamping #wilderness #hiking #backpacking #walking
Stopped off for a break on the top of Ryders hill yesterday. It was a bit of an uphill battle. #rydershill #dartmoor #hiking #wildcamping #wildcampinguk #ukwildcamping #backpacking #walking #wilderness #trigpoint #ordnancesurvey
The remains of Down Ridge stone circle at the start of yesterday's mainly uphill torturous walk to our wild camping spot by Huntingdon warren. #downridge #stonecircle #bronzeage #prehistoric #dartmoor #wildcamping #wildcampinguk #ukwildcamping
Merry Christmas!! I hope you all have a great one. And no, I'm not on the moors, I'm at home peeling veggies for dinner. Photo from this time last year.. ⛄🎁🎈🎄🍻🎅☃️🎉🎊
