Last minute wild camp to try out my new tent, the Mountain Laurel Designs Duomid. It was forecast to be windy, but to clear up in the evening so had hoped for a camp with some epic Lake District views. How wrong I was! Definitely not that enjoyable, but it's all good experience and it was a new area for me to dip my toe into. 100% I will return ( with two poles !!!)

Wild Camping location in the Buttermere area of the Lake District. This small fell gives you amazing views for a very small amount of effort. Unusually I pitched up early and just took it all in, giving myself plenty of time to relax ( though most of it was spent chatting to the locals who dropped by, they might even have got an olive or two off me if they were nice!) Didn’t stick around for lo...

A stunning walk right up the Eskdale valley up to Esk pike. After Tongue Pot and Lingcove Bridge, I trudged my way up through the bog and bracken, with the Scafell range to my left, Crinkle Crags to the right and Bowfell ahead of me. Didn’t see a soul until I got up to Ore Gap. Bagged Esk Pike and then dropped down to one of my favourite places to pitch up for the night. Woke up to another glor...

Hike up to Sticks Pass from Glenridding and onwards to Stybarrow and Watson’s Dodd. Plan was to camp on Watson’s Dodd, but bailed due to wind and dropped back down to Sheffield Pike. The hike and camp was as a group to raise £5k for Duddon and Furness Mountain rescue team. gofund.me/7172e790

A leisurely stroll up from Grasmere village to be greeted by views of FOUR lakes! This was the day after the summer solstice ( and my birthday) The weather wasn’t much to write home about as I settled in for the evening, but the following morning was glorious which can only mean one thing…get the drone out! A wonderful spot for a short walk or better still, a camp!

A short hike up from Old Dungheon Ghyll through the National Trust Car Park and up to Side Pike for a wild camp. Just 30 minutes to get up there for superb views of the Langdale Pikes, Bowfell, Crinkle Crags and Blea Tarn. As I said in the video, look below to the just giving page if you’d like to donate to the Duddon and Furness MRT gofund.me/fa584e83 Lake District Hiking & Wild Camping group ...

I walked up the gorgeous Eskdale Valley in the Lake District from the Woolpack Inn campsite. A so followed the river Esk, I passed numerous waterfalls and plunge pools. Turning right and ascending after Lingcove Bridge, I set up camp in the shadows of Bowfell, Crinkle Crags, Esk Pile and had the Scafell range in sight when the flag intermittently cleared! The following morning, I ascended up to...

I walked from the village of Coniston in the southern Lake District up to the summit of Black Sails via the copper mines valley and Levers water. As I reached the top I had magnificent views all around, from the mountains to the sea. After taking in the views and sharing a beer with a fellow wild camper, I settled in for the night for the first time in my fjalraven abisko lite 2 and give my ini...

I walked from the village of Patterdale, skirting below Angle Tarn Pikes towards Hartsop and up towards Haweswater. I set off knowing that the weather conditions were set to be horrendous, but had still hoped I could get hover il to pitch a tent. Unfortunately I had a bit of a drama losing my phone in the Ghyll and lost precious time looking for it! This meant I settled for a spot next the the ...

I hiked up to Catbells in almost Spring like conditions before retracing my steps and bumbling up to Maiden Moor where I pitched up for the night. The following morning I went up to a snowy High Spy before dropping down to Borrowdale via Tongue Gill and the old quarries, ending off with a pint. Bliss!

Hike up to Glaramara in perfect winter conditions, with the night spent by High House Tarn. First run out for the Terra Nova Pioneer 2 on the fells. Bloody marvellous! One of my best camps yet with fantastic views all around. With Great Gable, Great End, Esk Pike and Bowfell being most prominent.

After arriving in Pooley Bridge I caught the ferry for a short ride across to Howtown. From there it was a short walk up to the top of Hallin Fell before dropping back down a hot to get my tent up for cracking views over Ullswater. This place is hugely popular in the warmer months but tonight it was me only tentbound for 16 hours! Oh well decided to make the most of the time by having a “proper...
