Nice to have you.

It’s not on as large a scale as Norway and the Alps, but our Lake District is as you say beautiful and there’s something new around every corner. Thanks for watching.

You should come up north. We are an hour from the Howgills and we have a spare bedroom. Look after yourself.

Loved it but it was tough going. Thanks for watching. Atb

Enjoyed my day out. Better than being a couch potato. Atb mate

Neighbour’s dog. I’ve trained her to stop barking when guests visit 🤣

You can easily pitch outer first on T1 or T2. You can hold the outer up with your head, spread the groundsheet at the side you place the inner, put the inner in place the place the pole or carbon vertex one for that tent. They have changed the attachment of the inner to the outer since I made the video. Trust me it is an easy tent to pitch. You could also easily put the inner in, the shuffle the groundsheet under in go outside and pull it taught. You’ll figure out a method. I’ve just thought. Put the groundsheet down first, pitch the outer, then put the inner in. If raining obviously pitch outer first. Hope this helps. Atb

And that you still think about your Springer says a lot about you mate and about him. Atb

Thanks for watching. I am working through your stuff. I used to work in photography in Los Angles. You put a lot more time into your videos than I do. Northern England is not on the large scale as Norway but there’s a wonder around every corner. Atb

Yeah Susie loved it. She’s not my dog. I’m training her (successfully). Hope your foot gets better soon. Atb mate.

@@unclepeteswildadventures Me too! 😄

It came up higher for an hour and a half. But yeah I’ve seen it higher.

Cheers mate. You too

Cheers. I wished I had taken my Elan hooped bivy. It would have pitched in 5 mins. Defo a place to return to. Howgills would look good with decent visibility. Thanks for the sub. Atb

I could have pitched but there was no good sunset or sunrise. The view from there is exceptional on a clear day. Definitely going back. Thanks for watching. Atb

Yeah Steven, I had the kit but there was no sunset or sunrise likely. Much higher winds than forecast. As I say I’d love to pitch on Greyrigg pike, awesome pitch that. Wish I’d taken my hooped bivi that would have pitched in the wind easily. In 5 mins. Still great to be outdoors. I watch all your stuff as you know. Atb

Cumbria (mentioned in the title)is a county in the North of England. The fort is just south of Tebay, a small town. It’s about two hours drive north from Manchester.

Here’s the latitude and longitude East: 360957 North: 501261

The Howgills are fantastic and mostly uncrowded. Generally there are benign but do have some ‘teeth’ in places. Such as Black force and Cautley crags. My mum was born in Sedbergh and my dad grew up in Appleby, a bit further north. The Howgills are Silurian sedimentary rocks and most of the Lakes is igneous/volcanic hence the very different characteristics. Thanks for watching. Plenty of other videos for you to enjoy in and around the area. I do love the Westmorland dales and north Pennines especially. Atb

Cheers mate. Yeah different to get in there in flood but the falls are best in those conditions. One chap told me he fell into that lower pool when descending. It was more than six foot deep! Thanks for the sub. Atb

That’s nice. It’s a lovely area. My dad grew up in Appleby and my mum was born in Sedbergh. Thanks for watching. Take a look at my other videos. Many are in the Howgills and Dales. Atb

Enjoyed it. About 15 miles north of Sedbergh. Appleby was where my dad went to school. A storm came in the day after. Atb

Thank you! Cheers!

@unclepeteswildadventures 🙂👍

Spoiled for choice re pitches. As I mentioned there are two SSI areas to be aware of. But, great views, geology, flora and fauna. Good parking and Appleby bakery and Howgill’s deli on main street Appleby. Atb mate.

Cheers mate.

Glad you enjoyed it

It’s a beautiful area. Had it all to myself! Thanks for watching and commenting. Atb

@unclepeteswildadventures Looks so. Subbed to your channel. Cheers from Norway 🙂👍

Love it up there. My ambition is to finally get in to Black Force and not come out on a stretcher 🤣Thanks for watching. Atb

Certainly is mate. I hand realised the was such a prominent Syncline in the gorge. There’s another huge fold in the spout above Black Force. My plan is to get up there and not exit on a stretcher 🤣

Looks terrible from a distance but it’s a really good solid path. Wouldn’t like to do it with heavy pack Steven. Thanks for watching 👍

I know. Been to the top and the bottom but never up it😵Atb

Cheers mate. It’s a great way up. It’s a really well built path. You wouldn’t think I used to rock climb judging by my fussing 😂. There’s quite a few dales 30s up there. Atb

@@unclepeteswildadventures Yeah, I know- they're the ones on my list!☺

Often head up there when the weather’s bad. If there’s been heavy rain, the falls are excellent. Good car park with a cafe too. Thanks for watching.

One day I’ll get into Black force. I find traversing with a big drop too scary. As you know in the Howgills there are some very steep convex slopes. You can see by the soil creep in this vid. There is a way in to the left of The Spout which is very steep and you have to avoid coming over the precipice at The Spout. Chris JB made it down. (Highly recommend his channel.) A red flag though is when people don’t manage to film it well, there’s usually a reason. It is very sketchy. Check out my Uldale force vid. Lovely to have you back.

Yeah it’s easy to slip on wet limestone and there’s not chance of a rescue in those powerful waters. Speaking of which take a look at my storm Debbie video at Srainforth force. A white water rescue chap called it death on a stick! Thanks for watching and commenting. Atb

If you go on a windy but fine day the sounds are amazing. Thanks for watching. Atb

After a few consecutive bivi camps I did a tent camp and felt claustrophobic in the tent. I love the fact that you can look out at the stars without getting out of your sleeping bag. You can find cheap Elans on eBay. Some people feel claustrophobic but I feel Nicky cosy. The zips snag on the weatherproof flange but it’s easy to sort with technique as I explain on my Wild boar elan video. Thanks for watching

Ps the side zipper makes entry and exit much easier.
