Hiking, canoeing and 'bushcraft' in the far south west of the UK.

Why 'rialobran'?
Rialobran is a real historic figure, although little is known of him, other than he died in battle defending his homeland around 6-700AD.
In the far west of Cornwall there is a stone called the Men Scryfa (inscribed stone) on it is written in Latin 'Rialobrani Cunovali Filii' (Rialobran son of Cunoval). Rialobran means 'Lord of the Crows' or 'Royal Raven' depending who you ask and if it's sunny that day. Either way it seemed appropriate as a channel name as on the moor I frequent by far the most common bird after the skylark is the raven...it's also more manly than calling the channel 'Skylark'. I've also got a passion for history, so an actual little known historical character seemed like a good idea...I know people have trouble pronouncing the name, but count yourselves lucky I didn't choose 'Ffrwdwr' :)

I'd like to take this opportunity to wish one and all a very Happy New Year.
Patch is excited to be going on a camp halfway across the UK in our new tent to celebrate 2026 in style...Amanda not so much.

No film this week because I'm a certified dullard or mallard or whatever it is.
Amanda and I had an awesome camp...I remembered the cameras and forgot the SD cards for them.
Still on the upside I did become a grandfather this week to beautiful girl.

In my last video I called the person that tried and failed to ban camping on Dartmoor an A-hole.
This video got two dislikes.
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Mr and Mrs Darwall for watching and helping the analytics.

As you can probably see we have a new logo, designed by one of my daughters, so look out for this in future.
With all of our various 'jobs' finished this month we should be back very soon with camping, hiking and other videos. Which will also include our 'build' or more correctly 'revamp' project a clue for which is in the photo. I very much doubt anyone will guess, but vague as it is there is a clue there.

Just wanted to wish subscribers old and new a Happy New Year and all of that jazz. And thank you all for the support and comments, it is much appreciated despite the fact I'm a grumpy old git.
Normal service will commence soon now the madness of the season to pretend to be jolly, whilst wishing you were anywhere but where you are, has passed us by. (Be honest, you know I'm right).
See you soon etc

I really should have done this sooner.
Big thanks to all of those that have wondered where I've been recently. Simple answer is I've been letting the ribs heal whilst doing my nut taking it easy. Pleased to say I'm back in action. With a few little changes to the channel, including a new tent and a couple of new hiking partners.
Hope you're all doing well. Hikes, camps, adventures and waffle coming very soon.

I took myself down to the forest and 'Kingfisher Alley' today to do the draw for the Jacklore knife kindly and generously donated by my friend Ant 'The Jinx'. The knife made roughly £200 for charity and I heartily thank everyone that donated in an attempt to win possibly the best bushcrafting knife out there. And to those from foreign climes that donated knowing they couldn't win, I thank you all.
In the video (out later tonight) I announce the winner, but I know you're all more interested in whether I finally got a Kingfisher on film...

Big thanks to Sandy for cleaning up the 'giveaway' knife.
For a chance to see it watch to the end of this video, it's a quality item.

To own this knife please follow the 'rules' in my video, all donations will go to the chosen charity, I'm relying on honesty with this.
