UK hiking and wild camping

The hills are full of stories.
I walk you to them.

The quiet routes, the overnight camps, and the history under your boots. No voice-of-god narration, it's just us walking.No voice-of-god narration. Just the quiet routes, the camps, and the history under your boots.

What this is

Most walking videos show you the summit. I'm more interested in what you're standing on: the crashed bomber nobody signposts, the reservoir built by conscientious objectors, the Bronze Age grave you'd walk past as a pile of stones. Every route here has a film on the channel and a write-up you can actually follow, with distances, ascent, water, terrain and the navigation that catches people out.

Before you go

The routes tell you where I walked. These cover everything around the walking.

What I actually carry
