I Hiked to the HIGHEST Point on Exmoor

1.7K views · 2mo ago · 17:22

Visiting Exmoor has been on the to-do list for so long now. I’ve heard so much about it over the years that I thought it was time to travel the 200 miles to the south west for some serious hiking and (hopefully) camping. It’s also been extremely hot in London these last 2-3 months. Very hot. I really did feel the need to get out of the oven to seek out cooler climes.

Guest: South Kenton

Back on the Capital Ring and PART 4! In this video, I start back at Richmond Bridge and complete three sections 1. Richmond - Osterley Lock 2. Osterley Lock - Greenford 3. Greenford - South Kenton Total distance covered is about 16 miles, taking me to mile 50 out of 78. I keep on saying it but the Capital Ring is a really underrated trail that captures truly wild spaces around London helping you to escape the noise.

The Capital Ring walk is a 78-mile trail that circumnavigates inner London. It was created in 2005 by the London Walking Forum.

The King Charles III England Coast Path is a brand new national trail that follows the entire coastline of England. It was opened by the King on 19 March 2026. There are still some bits of it to be finished but when completed it will be the longest managed coastal trail in the world at 2,700 miles. For this video, I hike 8 miles along the Suffolk stretch (and back) and wild camp in my new tent: the TFS Tents Enran 2 (EU edition).

'How do I find a wild camping spot?' is a very common question for those new to the pastime. In this video, I show you the method that has worked best for me these last few years. Always leave absolutely no trace when wild camping and pitch as late as possible if you don't know who the landowner is.

Guest: Grove Park

The Capital Ring walk is a 78-mile trail that circumnavigates inner London. It was created in 2005 by the London Walking Forum. It passes through the many green spaces in the capital: woods, fields, parks and more. In fact, a lot of the time you just don't feel like you're a city of 9 million people! In this video, I walk from Woolwich to Grove Park. Would you like to see me walk more of this trail - or even just complete it?! Have you done it yourself?

In this video, I take the 4-season version of the new 3F UL Lanshan 2 out into very cold forest conditions for a proper overnight camping test. I also talk about the 2026 updates to this very popular tent. Do you use the Lanshan 2? Have you tried the 4-season inner yourself? Have Lanshan general questions?
