  • Lake District mountain wild camp in the Hilleberg Soulo at Red Tarn below the Helvellyn range at 2370ft.
    Drone used is the DJI Mini 2.
    A big thanks to the Swedish outdoor clothing company Revolution Race, who contacted me and asked if I would like to try out their Cyclone Rescue jacket and GP Pro trousers. I’ve had them for a couple of months now and really enjoy using them. Stylish and tough, I really like the quality and design of the jacket and trousers. They certainly performed well on this cold and windy trip to the mountains and I'm looking forward to using them again on future trips.
    I'm pleased to be able to offer you an exclusive discount code. The code is (only valid for followers who live in Uk and IE) valid from 28/12/21 to 1/1/22. The code gives you a 15% discount off all products, but cannot be combined with any other discount.
    The discount code is: SOLO15

    It definitely is a ‘slog’. A lovely place to be on your own though my friend to calm the soul. It’s a positive place to make positive life choices.

    Brilliant as always Dave, then I would say that, I’m probably your biggest fan. Hope you can feel all the tribe pushing you on. Had to laugh you going back for sticks, only because I’m ADHD and often forget stuff🤣. Recommend an OMM chest pod for easy access to small stuff such as map and snacks etc. Carry on mountaineering mate. Big respect.

  • @Globetrotter-1
    @Globetrotter-1 2 года назад +2

    It's always beautiful with snow on the high peaks. One personal thought about trekking poles...I absolutely hate them and will never use any, no matter what type of terrain. The muscles in your body, especially the legs, need to build strength and cope with all terrains and work with the brain for perfect balance. Using walking sticks or poles makes you rely on them too much, and many of your muscles become weakened due to not being used correctly.
    Regarding phone signals, I've always used O2 and found that it has the best and most reliable signal and service in the Lake District and Welsh mountains. Obviously there are pockets of dead space and certain regions where there is zero service no matter what provider you use. Often it is not the service provider, but the quality of the receiver aerial built into your mobile phone that matters the most.

  • @ChrisPrested777
    @ChrisPrested777 2 года назад +3

    Hi Dave. I, like many who don't know you personally, am genuinely touched by you're videos. Your enthusiasm for the outdoors and particularly the Lake District are not only thoroughly engaging but are also highly contagious. Clearly you've had a exceptionally challenging year, so this is a simple thank you for your amazing videos and to wish you are happier and healthy 2022. God Bless brother.

When times are tough you need to escape and I can’t think if a better place. The Lakes are my go to place in the UK, but living 200 miles away it’s not always easy. Keep smiling and enjoying the mountains and you will soon be on the other side. 😀

Great that you're focusing on getting your videos out, selfishly I know there's loads of us that really look forward to them as they're always full of the things we all love. The scenery, the knowledge, the tent porn and of course.......real life. We can all relate to the need to get into the mountains for that period of solace.
    I'm in the mountains of Snowdonia every week so if you ever fancy a drive out I'd be happy to show you a few brilliant spots, some even have 4g on O2 🤣. Conversely if you ever fancy some company up in the lakes I'd be happy to join you up there.......it's on my list of places 🙂

    Ive done exactly that with the parking, parked in somewhere I like an know even if its a couple of miles difference in my route 😆
    Did not know about the hotel though letting you do that so THAAAAAAANK YOU!!!!!
    Ive got quite a bit of RR gear, absolutely superb I think 👌🏻 2 jackets, 4 different trousers, 2 mid layers and a winter base layer for when at camp 🤣 Havent got a Cyclone Jacket yet though so might have a look 👀👀
    Wow!! Those snow capped peaks were so stunning!! So amazing walking up there in the snow ❄
    I camped at Red Tarn earlier in the year then got up about 0500 and did the loop, amazing spot and looks even more amazing in the snow!
    Incredible aeriel footage Dave 👏🏻
    When I was there I couldn't get any signal unless I started walking up the path to Catstye Cam lol I am with '3' and very rarely have signal in the lakes at all, high up or low down. Absolutely useless...
    Weather definitely changed in the morning though for sure but awesome views back down.

    Terrific video Dave, the contrast between the valley and the snow line, the atmosphere of the misty tarn and the oncoming gusts across the water. You captured the camp so well as always. HAPPY NEW YEAR, and many more brews with mountain views in 2022😁 👍👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧👏👏👏.

    I can only imagine how good it feels just standing there by the water even though it is windy. Completely with you on the parking arrangements for piece of mind. I use both Lebara (Vodafone) and Giffgaff (o2) in a dual sim phone. I often find it pretty good in some remote areas (Devon), although I also end up with nothing at times. Take care.

    Brilliant Dave, ive walked it many times one of my faves, i never went in winter though, the reason is no one would come with me, i didnt fancy going alone in case of a fall, ( safety first i guess) i think i told you once before theres a plane in Red Tarn, WW2, it hit Stiding edge if my memory serves me right. Anyways great video as always, thanks for your efforts, take care from me here in Canada, Kenny ;-)

    Only just recently started watching you Dave. I absolutely love your videos, I’ve been working in Australia for the last 3 years and have missed the lakes massively, I can’t wait to get back and get back up there, your videos are keeping me going lol. I’m from Leyland so just down the road from you, keep up the good work and looking forward to seeing more.

    Your production quality is fantastic! I rarely watch a video without skipping, let alone a 30minute one in one go but I've been binge watching your stuff past few days haha. Can't wait for the next one! Best wishes and I hope you have a good 2022 Dave.

    I always get a good laugh when you turn the stove on and I think you’re about to start preparing a meal; like a typical wild camper, I’m expecting something dehydrated. Then there’s a brief pause before you whip a sandwich out. Gotta love it! 😁 19:45
    Chin up mate, it’s nearly 2022. Cant be worse than ‘21.

    • @TheSoloSummiteer
      @TheSoloSummiteer  2 года назад +1

      😆. Think I was born with a sandwich in my hand. Will probably die with one, too 🥪. Don’t think I comply with conventional norms 😁Cheers Ste - ATB Dave

    Recently subscribed to your account the other day, your videos are great when you aren't able to get out yourself. I haven't been to the lakes since October as I am a little wary of winter conditions but I am planning to go with a group this week to improve my confidence and navigation skills, then hopefully any time of year I'll be able to go out. Thanks for the video and hope things improve for you soon

    • @TheSoloSummiteer

    Don’t normally comment as I watch through my tv but thought seeing as you seem to be going through a rough time I’d make the effort to let you know how good your videos are and hopefully put a smile on your face. Just wanted to say i absolutely love your videography and drone stuff. Really makes you want to get out. Keep up the good work bud.
    Ps. I always set off and realise I’ve forget something and end up having to walk back to the car, ha
    All the best Wes
