FREEZING Helvellyn Solo Bivi Camp At Over 3000ft
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 май 2021
- Lake District - Headed up to the summit of Helvellyn, Englands 3rd highest mountain at 3114ft, for a solo bivi camp in my Alpkit Hunka XL bivi bag. Considering its the most popular mountain in Britain it was wonderful to have the place to myself for the night. An amazing cold night of solitude on the mountain, with very little wind and clear skies above. Fantastic views down to Red Tarn and along Striding Edge. A nine mile round trip from Thirlmere with 3000ft of ascent.
Many thanks for watching - Dave

'Hope you've enjoyed it?' Absolutely inspiring! Loved every minute watching!
Big thanks 😎
This was exceptional! Thank you for taking us to a place most of us may never visit. The summit was almost "other-worldly". So, so magical ... and it is obvious that you had a grand time. It's heart-warming to see such an appreciation of Nature. Your followers are very blessed by you sharing what you (and we) love. Hope you are doing well. All the best.
Really appreciate your kind words Kriss 🙏🏻.
Loads of us need to be up there for our mental health after the pandemic.
Absolutely Paul 🙏🏻
BRILLIANT video! I've been up Helvellyn a few times, and it's a cracking place to be on your own. Thanks for uploading!
That sunrise looked life-changingly beautiful ❤️ Cracking adventure as ever. Thanks for sharing it with us all!
Great video. I've been here twice - really nice view. I wish I can see the sunrise/sunset one day.
3000 ft brew with a view, mountaintastic it certainly was 👍👏👏👏
cheers Dave 😎👍
Excellent Bivi on "Sunrise Mountain" Dave . They call it Sunrise Mountain because apparently more people watch the sunrise from Helvellyn than any other mountain in the Lake District .
It is a fair schlep back through the trees to the car Dave too . All in all though , another great overnighter in the 5 billion star hotel . Nice 1 .
big thanks Neil 😎👍
Utube just recommended your video to me , great bivvy camp.
Also your red tarn camp too , just reminds me of how much I'm missing the lake district.
Need to be back early next year, I'm in North Essex.
But just 5 miles from Constable country in Suffolk.
I've done that Browncove route many a time....including in the snow - which was pretty hair-raising! Amazing spot for a bivvy and so nice to see it without loads of other people. I'd just watched your snowy swirral edge descent video so the contrast couldn't be greater!
Big thanks Emmie. Glad you enjoyed it 😎👍
I have lived in Keswick for 22 years and I never stop being amazed at how beautiful it is, excellent video - thank you.
Love Keswick 😎👍
I went there (Keswick) yday for the first time. I remember my reaction to Brencathra as we passed it on the bus from Penrith. I couldn't take my eyes off it; its sheer height and breadth was magnificent.
@@2icelollys1goat I hope you had a lovely day. Blencathra is impressive :)
Watched this again... Brilliant Dave ;-)
Thanks for sharing! Good memories..
The aeroplanes you saw will be Ospreys. Fantastic bits of kit, and eerily quiet for their size!
Great to look at but feck going in the back of one.
They're noisy, uncomfortable and seemingly designed to shake your filings out.
Give me a Chinook any day!
I was going to say the same. To my knowledge we don't own any so probably US.
@@stuartmorgan9327 They've been flying over my parents' house in Cumbria for a few years now, so I'm not sure.
@@jamesf8864 apparently we bought two for special forces so not sure if it’s them or a US base nearby.
@@stuartmorgan9327 Interesting!
Amazing. Love it.
A lovely video again Dave , look forward to the next one .
Beautiful shots there was up there not long ago and camped at Grisedale tarn 👍🏻
Breath-taking views, I really need to get myself to the Lake district soon.
Thanks for another superb video and for sharing the experience, especially for those of us that still can’t get back out there yet. 👍🏼
Cracking video Dave. You picked a great day for it.
Absolutely lovely video Dave. Great adventure and very smooth camera work. Very much appreciated.
Lovely job! What a sunrise 🌅
Beautiful capture TSS. loved it.
Really enjoed that! Thank you.
The Lakes & Snowdonia are world class, can’t wait to come home again 🇦🇺Brought back lots of happy memories, looking forward to your next video 👍🏼
Thanks for taking me up there as I've always wanted to do the peaks in the Lakes. Never conquered my fear of heights but you've inspired me to get help.
Superb dave 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Just wonderful 😊
What a nice film to go to bed on , if all goes to plan I'll be walking Scarfell pike via Eskdale in July, just hope the weather is kind!
Nice one Alex. Good luck 🤞😎
Can't believe this is the 1st time I've seen this one! Top stuff 👏
Nice one Bob. Glad you enjoyed it 😎👍. ATB Dave
Belting Dave, familiar route up Helvellyn and you captured it with great camera work👍👍
Waking up outdoors is one of the most amazing feelings out there... Thank you for the video.
Was up there yesterday, really clear with fantastic views all round.
Awesome video. It’s great that you like about 2 hours from the mountains. It would take me about 10 hours to get to my closest mountains to me. I love the video and the views were stunning! Thanks for sharing.
Fantastic to watch and enjoy so much.
Fantastic love the lakes
Fantastic, who needs to go abroad with places like this to explore.

My favourite video yet! How awesome to have Helvellyn summit to yourself! Will watch this again and again! Great video as always!

Another truly beautiful video! I found I could suddenly take some deep breaths and sense the tranquility of these peaks.
big thanks Karen. Really appreciate that 🙏
Incredible footage. Just stunning scenery. Thank you for sharing these amazing videos 🙏
big thanks Charles 🙏
Stunning video.
The lakes , like the Highlands, where I live, do get their fair share of rain, but when the sun's out its the best scenery in the country . 👌
It's great to be out and about again, enjoy your videos very much .
Great video mate. I've camped up at Red Tarn but not the summit. Definitely one for the list
Another sublime trip and right up there with last weeks. Keep up the fantastic work !! All the best.

Perfection. Awesome video, fast becoming a favourite channel!
Wow, thanks Nick 🙏😎👍
fantastic video mate
i was up the other week when you was and what lovely warm weather with the odd patch of snow, then wednesday this week i hiked up White side and Raise in full winter gear to ski down, crazy!!
awesome. wish I’d have been there 👍😎
@@TheSoloSummiteer I live all the way down in South Lincs, I had to get up this week at least for the snow in may!
@@paulhoulden that’s brilliant 😎👍. I’m only a couple of hours away but was working so couldn’t make it.
What an amazing hike. Stunning views and such a great feeling. 👍👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Cracking vid bud, enjoyed that 👍🏻
Been all over the lakes, I've not wild camped but I bet the langdales, more specifically Pavey Ark would be an amazing place to wild camp. That summit offers some amazing views of the lakes. Waking up to that view off Pavey Ark would be incredible
My favourite route! 💕 👍🏽
Really appreciating your channel, Dave. Nicely put together and very relaxing to watch. I like how you take the time to identify the various peaks and tarns in the background for your viewers.
Really appreciate your feedback John. Glad you enjoyed it and ATB - Dave
Thank you, looking forward to watching ☺️
Hope you like it!
Stunning video must feel so special having the summit all to yourself 👍👍
Absolutely Stuart 😎👍

Absolutely loved the video. Glorious sunset and sunrise. I'm hoping to do the same route soon. Thank for sharing.
🙏
Dave, wonderful video, really liked how you described each segment of the trek - I felt like I was there with you, step by step. I’ll have to wait a bit to get out, as we are going into three weeks of very restrictive lockdown. I’m very appreciative of your efforts and the work you put into each of these hikes. Thank you so much! Take care, stay healthy, and all the best!
much appreciated Harry. Take care ATB Dave
Lovely sunrise, another great post.
