On May 3rd 2016, the very first video from Summit or Nothing was uploaded to the Hagfilms channel on YouTube. Day Trekking on Dartmoor Part 1 documented the very first Dartmoor hike that Nath and myself did together, well, the first fifth of that particular outing anyway. The full length […]

A view that I see very often on my commute to and from work is the entire length of the North-western flank of Dartmoor National Park. From Belstone in the North, via the likes or Rowtor, West-Mill Tor, the high tors of Yes Tor, High Willhays, Great Links Tor, and […]
There are so many different options when it comes to food and water on the trail, and between myself and Nathan we have tried quite a few. To be honest, as with most things, I find that it does pay to have options, so you can chop and change your […]
During lockdown, whilst we were all forbidden to visit the moor, and wild camp, I had the mad idea that once we were allowed back out, that I would take a weekend to stroll across the moor, from one end to the other, camping en-route. At somepoint, however, I decided […]
Since beginning the channel, in 2016, I have managed to get out for a UK Wild camp a staggering 24 times! Sometimes with Nath, sometimes with others, sometimes solo camping. I’ve done wild camping on Dartmoor, mountain top camping and stealth camping on the coast. I’ve camped in a tent, roughed […]

WINTER HIKING IN THE ROMANIAN CARPATHIANS The biggest adventure from 2019 for Summit or Nothing was when we flew to Romania and endured the winter conditions of the Romanian Carpathian mountains, where we summited the awesome Omu Peak at 2507m’s. This is the story of that adventure. “Yogi!” Yelled Frank […]
As you may well be aware, Nath and myself are not averse to a spot of wild camping, especially in the Dartmoor area, and often in horrendous weather. In the past we have both camped in various tents, including the reasonably sized Vango Mirage 200, the smaller Vango Banshee 200, and recently […]
The first outing in ages, away from the South West, Trev and Summit or Nothing has, ventured up to Brecon Beacons for a couple of days of mountain hiking and wild camping with workmates, Den, Frank and Sean. Their first outing was a visit to the waterfall country, and a three or four-hour […]
