⚠️‼️ COMPLETE WHITE OUT SUMMIT CAMP ON BLENCATHRA
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 мар 2024
- Join us on an epic winter adventure as we brave extreme snow and whiteout conditions to camp on the summit of Blencathra in the Lake District!
From freezing temperatures to waist-deep snow, we battled the elements trusting my GPS whilst struggling to see but sheers grit and determination got use through it .
With icicles forming on our the guylines of the tent and waking up to a mound of snow from spin drift in the tent it was certainly a challeng. The moments of complete whiteout were tough and proud of Kay for pushing her limits as she really struggled in the conditins.

So, I normally wait to comment but I didn't wanna forget.
I've got weather affected disorder. Just happened after I left the army. I've got so much experience and skill outside, I used to teach recruits. But I just couldn't get out for years after I left. I've since promised to walk lejog for my friend's son's foundation after he died, aged 12.
It's been hard as fuck. I always shit myself at the thought of going to the shop in the rain, but I've slowly got going again, I'm even beginning to film myself (poorly) on my training hikes.
I find it helps me accept the weather conditions as an opportunity to show other people how to deal with them.
This year, I've got half a dozen trips planned.
I hope I get a snowy fucker in one day, this video looked full on epic as fuck.
Anyway, I think everyone suffers here and there. Don't worry, you're smashing it.
Thanks for sharing Craig. I didn’t even know that was a think it must be really tough to deal with. However what you’re doing is epic and sounds like a great thing to commit to which will surely help too. Do film it too as it’s your memory forever then and something to look back on to see where you’ve come from and what you’ve achieved 🤙🏼
@krisgleave that's mostly why I began filming, that and to eventually get more awareness for the big one...
Anyway, cracking video again bro, glad I subbed.
Incredibly challenging conditions those! What a camp! Well done guys 💪🏽
Stay safe and well,
Adge
Thanks Adge. Definitely challenging coming down the next day in complete white out. Good job I had my GPS or I would’ve ended up over an edge 😂
Fair play to you being honest about your battle with mental struggles and good on you looking after your mrs in a whiteout!The most perfect conditions really enjoyed watching this one thanks for sharing Chris 👍🏻 see you out there !!
Cheers for that and apologies for missing the camp…that won’t happen again rush me. Really enjoyed this camp though with the white out and conditions just need one with epic views and no wind or clag now in the snow like yours
@krisgleave it's just around the corner I can sense it !!!
I've only recently come across your channel. After being new to hiking, etc, I was looking for Snowden clips before I did it last month and felt amazing!
Watching this video today, I've been in bed two days with flu. Wanted to say thanks for your honesty in regard to mental health. Totally get it, long covid anxiety had me for a bit. I walk/hike on Saturdays with a group from work as we are doing 3 peaks, but I've got the bug, and wild camping is next on my list! When I get out, I feel alive!
So thanks for the videos you post! Keep going. Look forward to future posts
I hate whiteouts, fair play to both of you 👍 Great video, I bet it was freezing during the night 🥶 Top tip, melt the snow ❄️ for water💧
Thanks Andy. Honestly it was awesome. Kay was really anxious in the white out as can be really disorientating but I honestly loved it. Hard when you’re waist deep in snow though 😂. It was alright in the night too we were warm in the tent with the gear.
Yeah I hate melting snow as you end up using so much gas. Getting that water was tough I won’t make that mistake again I just won’t be lazy and carry some up.
Kris mate, Im an absolute nightmare picking spots. Im even worse once im up top trying to find a perfect pitch...good video mate TFS Steven
Haha can imagine! I do scout around a bit looking for a flat pitch as nothing worse than having a bad pitch after making the effort to get up there.
Great video mate. I’ll leave the whiteouts to you until i’ve got a bit more experience 😂 good to see you made it out and enjoyed the camp 👌🏼
Thanks for that. It’s ace in winter I do love camping and hiking this time of year. Half the battle is having gear you can trust and that’ll keep you warm and then it’s just enjoyable and a good challenge. Don’t get my wrong I love a good camp in summer and the heat too 😂
Wow that was bloody awesome. I couldnt do it though, i was anxious just watching it from when you hit the white out 😮 Hats off to you both though, you absolutely smashed it. What a memory to have in the bag 🤙
Yes exactly and that’s what we do it for. Kay was worried when she couldn’t see anything but white as it’s pretty disorientating but she got through it which is ace.
Awesome 👌
As usual, Kris, a cracking video. Keep up the great work. I really enjoyed it.
Thanks for that Kev glad you enjoyed it. Hope we still get a bit more snow there’s still time
holy shit brother that is a lot of snow. I got to hand it to ya. you got guts , I got all the gear to keep me warm I weather like that but 😂😂😂I'm not gonna a go out in that to prove it. have a great on and I will catch ya later
Dwayne
Haha thanks Dwayne. Yeah I couldn’t believe how much there was but absolutely loved it. It was perfect has not much wind. I was initially supposed to be out the day before but wind was awful so glad I waited one day. Thanks for your support as always
Fantastic adventure 👍❄️
Thank you ❄️🏔️⛺️
@@krisgleave 👍
Nice to see yous enjoying the snow, and the climb. I'm with your misses though. If I think that I'm going to fall, I panic. I even panicked in the staircase of the National Wallace Monument.
Yeah it’s hard when you can’t see anything apart from white and for me I was following my watch so could see the terrain and contours on the map…whereas she could only see me so was worried we were going to go off the edge
@@krisgleave That is understandable. I want to walk up the Cobbler, in the Arrochar Alps. I will be waiting until April, when it's a bit drier, with the longer days. I think that you would love the Arrochar Alps.
@AScottishOdyssey I really need to get some mountaineering boots so I can get crampons to head up there. That’s the reason I haven’t been up this winter as my boots have a flexible sole so can’t use crampons with them. Would love to hit some summits over there
@@krisgleave I'm sure that you'll get that sorted. Murray from Scotland's Mountains RUclips channel, has gone up the Arrochar Alps on a few times.
Now that was a Bobby Dazzler camp you 2...And Kay has got the moves 👌🏻👏🏻👌🏻 ...plus Kay, yes it's a Marathon bar, and they need to stop with these sodding snack sizes 🤣🤣🤣
Haha exactly! Every year they get smaller and smaller it’s crazy. Kay loves a good dance 😂
💃🏼🕺🏼🪩😂
Great video again, looks like an epic couple of days.
Discovered your channel about six months ago while prepping for Pen Yr Ole Wen and the Carneddau, and I think I've watched everything now. Great content, and love how you take the bad weather with a smile (or is that just for the camera 😀?)
Haha love that thank you and thanks for your support watching all the videos that’s ace. Honestly I love the challenge weather and definitely not for the camera. As you’ll see from all my vids always honest about how I feel and how hard things are on hikes etc…only way to be.
Cracking video Kris……
Totally understand the mental health issues, motivation issues you are getting……going through it myself right now. Its a dark lonely place!!
Looked pretty scary coming down that mountain but you both did well….just got to watch the snow covered crevices , they can be lethal.
I couldn’t find the trousers you and kay mentioned, as im looking for new waterproofs…….wondering if you had a link or proper name for them?
Cheers buddy 👍🏻❄️🌨️
Cheers for that really appreciate it. Yeah it’s tough isn’t it I’m my own worse enemy at times. Even today as couldn’t get myself out this morning so had to cancel a job I was due to work…one of those things I guess.
Google ”Evadict waterproof pants decathlon” and they should come up. They’re also known as “Kip Run” but they’re Evadict. Let me know if you still struggle but I’ve just done that and they come straight up. they’re £40
@@krisgleave got them!! Many thanks.
@AndrewPaulK80 Awesome you’ll love them
Wow, well done, kris and Kay what a experience
Thanks Gary had a blast
Sick. Let's go
Haha first comment 🤙🏼. Hope you enjoy the video it was epic this camp
Kudos to you both, that looked like an absolute belter, love the way Kay just gets stuck in! I think a lot of people leave "the bag packed" at the door, and don't get out for many reasons, glad you're back out on the hills, hope the fresh air helps mate, cracking video as always.
Wow Kris you guys looked like you were having fun 😉 some brutal conditions m8 but looked awesome just the same,as you know I prefer the warmer weather 😅 so will leave the white ours to you 😁
Haha cheers Daz. You’re missing a trick getting out in the winter conditions it’s the best time to camp.
Came across your channel last week.binge watched loads,now up to speed and sub.really enjoying the channel
Aah thanks for your support Gary. Hopefully now the days are longer and the weathers improving the videos will be more regular
You two guys are GREAT! What a fantastic camp...I do love Inclement conditions & the footage was amazing. What steals the show though is you & kays banter. It would be nice to see the footage back to the the car for a big hug & kiss as I'm sure she had a little wobble of dizziness or claustrophobia which I suffer from. Thanks guys for really entertaining me for nearly a hour...cheers, Simon x.
What a lovely comment thank you and appreciate the feedback. Kay doesn’t like drops and things like that and struggled in the conditions as it can be quite disorientating when all you can see is white and you don’t know where you’re going so she did struggle with that. I was fine and easier when you can see your GPS watch so you know the layout and contours so I knew the ground ahead plus remembered it from the way up.
For some reason they didn’t do too well on the channel but if you like the banter checkout our campervan adventure from last year. I have 4 videos from our 5 day trip around Wales it was awesome we had the best time. Lots of banter in that I think you might like it.
Thanks Simon
@@krisgleave Thank you for your very kind reply Kris. I certainly will check out your camper van videos. Take care & remember to order those ice spikes for Kay 😄😄👍🏻, cheers...Simon.
@simonmakinson no worries at all and 100% I still need to order them 😂. I’ve been hanging in as debating buying some more high end spikes for myself and giving mine to Kay as I’m out much more but I’ll see. Thank you
Nice camp out , looked a bit chilly indeed lol 😂, looking forward to the next one ☝️
Thank you. It was alright when we were in the tent but freezing before we got in there. Getting that water was a nightmare my hands were absolutely frozen 😂
@@krisgleave lol 😂
Great video 👍 and great teamwork! 🙌 smashed it out there 🤜🤛
Awesome thanks for that it was ace 😊🤙🏼
Great Vid!...for the record I wasn't as lost as I looked! 😅
and my food in the pub at the bottom beats Kays square bar! 😂
Haha aww I know but glad you stuck with us. I can only imagine how good that pub meal was 😂😂
That looked like a tough hike in the snow. Great video, I really enjoyed that one Kris 👍🏻 I hope you’ve ordered them micro spikes 🤪
Thanks Ian it was a cracker. Haha we haven’t yet! I will I will 😂😂
A true taste of winter there Kris. Blencathra is one of my favourites in the Lakes, so many facets to it. Like you, my motivation levels have really suffered this winter. I'm fine at planning trips, routes, etc, I enjoy that, it's more the issue of dragging my lazy bastard arse out of the door once the plans are made.
Cheers Chris. It’s tricky isn’t it. I struggle with deciding where to go. I’m sure if I had it planned out I’d be out. But I second guess everything and can never decide if it’s challenging enough or sometimes if it’s too much then don’t end up going.
We still need to get a camp in too. We should just arrange one and then we both have to go 😂
@@krisgleave Yes we do. It's got to be a decent day though Kris. I've had enough of getting pissed through! 😭🙂 Better weather on the way though.
@ChrisJB I already expect a camp with you will be rain 😂. I swear you should be called rain man 😂. Well let me know when you fancy it as I can always make the time and be free
i would love to have the knowledge and experience to be able to spend a night in those conditions, as of yet i dont so wont be trying, but great video, absolutly loved it
Thanks for that and admirable response there as you’re spot on. The weather can certainly be more challenging this time of year but you can still get great experiences like this a bit lower down, you don’t have to be on the top of summits as the snow was even lower level too.
Once you have the right gear it’d be good to go with someone or friends for your first winter camp and be close to the car just as backup and sure you’ll absolutely love it
Brilliant video Kris I thoroughly enjoyed it. I've only experienced whiteout's while hiking and have to say it seems like you walk twice the distance between reference points than you think it is, especially if you don't have a trail to follow.
The camp was fantastic and you even had a snow globe in the vestibule 😉
I have to say the tent handled the snow load very well though.
Thank for that glad you enjoyed it. Yeah it’s tricky judging distance and even following my Garmin I fell away from the route quite a few times trying to traverse as I was losing elevation at the same time and took me a while to get back on the route I’d marked but I knew the ground was just a slope and no drop.
Haha snow globe in the vestibule alright…could’ve built a snowman out of that 😂
The tent was great in the snow. Just a nightmare pitching the rear but I’ll sort that for the next camp.
Great video them were some tough conditions man. I was up here the night after you completely different conditions. Didn’t get up there and pitch till after 11pm headed over after finishing work on the Sunday. I have the abisko lite 2 as for the saggy rear I tend to have the 2 corners pointing more away from rear a little out to the sides ( about 20 degrees) but yours seemed to be pointing quite sideways (maybe about 70-80 degrees) Also leave straps fully loosened so when pegging it out you can put plenty of tension on the straps too make it taught. Also the tension straps on pole ends need to be really pulled tight to bring the tent fabric right up to the bottom of poles/ fox feet( that the pole sits in ) hope this helps.
Cheers Steve and yes I remember you posting about that and going. Awesome work to head up so late. I know coming down the blue skies were out and the conditions had changed but was crazy that night and morning. Awesome though I loved it and one to remember.
I’ll have to have a look online at how people have pitched as I didn’t use to have an issue with it but the last 2 it’s been a pain. I need to pitch it in the day close to where I live and just have a play around so when I’m in the shizzle on the mountain I’ve got the knack. Thanks for that.
I couldn’t tell if my poles looked too wide too. I think I may be pulling too taut so it’s not as high as it should be which affects the back. Maybe I’m wrong I’ll have to see
@@krisgleave I posted loads of pics on Lake District hiking and camping page if you search my name Stephen Roach you should see it and maybe get an idea of what mine looks like. What I get is that the tent needs to be tight long ways as it’s not freestanding and it’s a tunnel style so the more you angle the pegging out points away from the ends of the tent it’ll make it more taught. Uneven ground can make it tricky tho flat as possible is ideal
You need to get shut of that tent mate and get a Nallo for you both
Yeah I do love the tent but it’s testing me. I don’t like the Nallo as not a fan of the door and the way it opens. The alternative for me would probably be the Nammatj but pricey. I’ll have to keep my eyes open and alternatives to test for winter conditions. When we’re out of winter I have a cool Opulas 3 from Naturehike which is massive but I wouldn’t take on a summit.
Great effort for getting out up onto summit and camping, still plenty of snow in lakes. Mate it’s not just you, it’s tough this time of year. Grey overcast weather doesn’t help. Been struggling to get myself out.
Is there still snow on the tops at the moment? I’d love to get back up in the snow on Friday if it’s around if I have time as have a job in the morning first.
Yeah it’s tough isn’t it. It’s not even the weather for me…it’s literally deciding where to go and what I do. I drive myself mad with it.
@@krisgleave I was just referring to the snow in your video. Have you heard of Jordan Peterson worth checking some of his videos out. Just keep trying to get out when you don’t even feel like it.
@DJVOutdoors Yeah I like Jordan and watched quite a bit of him on YT to be fair. I just need to sit down and plan lots of hikes and camps so I have a list so when I want to go I just pick one and don’t overthink it and go
Braver than me... I get nervous on a summer's evening up kinder 😂 One day I'll have to try a proper winter camp.
Aah thank you. It’s a challenge in those conditions but usually as long as you’re confident in your gear for winter camps that’s half the battle. Obviously white out does make it tougher but I’m sure you’ll be fine with a winter camp
Great video K's very challenging conditions, many thanks for sharing. What are your thoughts on just melting snow for water as i generally do it if the conditions allow. Thanks for helping the chap that's what life should be about, we should all help each other more and less judgemental life can be hard enough ❤❤❤.
Thank you. I’m not a fan of melting snow as takes a long time and a lot of gas so much prefer to get my water and use that. It’s fine if you need a little extra and want to add some snow to your water to melt quicker but never really been a fan of it.
Another great vid Kris... As for routes, I have a rough plan of where I want to start from and go to, get one down on OS maps and wing it 😅... The dog tends to lead the way, his fault if I get lost 🤷🏽♂️😂
Hahaha love that. I need to have a plan though or just won’t go. Same today….zero excuse I should’ve gone for a hike just for the day but not gone again.
@@krisgleave best not to put any pressure on yourself to get out, or even to film it for RUclips. Just get out for yourself, not for people to watch. I had the same with running after covid, I didn't run for 3 years, I eventually gave it caring and it eventually came back.
@mananddog.outdoors it’s not the pressure of filming…it’s getting out. Filming is the easy part and I do that for me as I enjoy it. Might cancel some plans Monday to Wednesday and just go out hiking
That was epic, well done. Hope to see you take on the Cape Wrath Trail this year ;)
Thank you! Thats certainly one I need to box off. I think my first LDH of this year with be the WHW at the start of May or maybe late April and then hopefully start hammering some out.
@@krisgleave The WHW was my first two years ago and I’ve been obsessed ever since. This year I’m planning on the Ridgeway, Cumbria Way and CtC. Love your content Kris and I can’t wait to see your WHW video/series.
@thecabooseattheendofthetra9260 that’s good to hear I’m looking forward to doing it. I’ve got playlists for both the coast to coast and the Cumbria way on my channel which you may like if you’re looking to do them. I did the Cumbria Way in 3 days 😂
@@krisgleave I used your Strava maps for the Dales Way (I'm the guy who had to abort my first attempt in Grassington), and they were invaluable. Imagine maps for the bloody Dales Way not being available in AllTrails!!!
@@thecabooseattheendofthetra9260 aah yes I remember! Yeah I manually plotted my routes form guide books for the Dales Way. I do that for all my hikes so I know they’re correct rather than downloading one from online. Glad they helped.
Great video great camp. 5 days in bed? Na mate get out!! Think of the people who can't get up due to illness etc.. easy to say I know but good luck.
Yeah I agree on all fronts but definitely not easy. Thank you
If you're struggling to get out - you did say you'd do a video on loading maps onto your Garmin.
You're a great man, it takes courage to discuss our mental health and well-being. Thanks for another brilliant video
Cheers thanks for that. I’ll be honest I don’t find it easy but feel personally it’s good to say it as it makes me feel uncomfortable but I think that’ll motivate me to do something about it.
But secondly, since I’ve shared and on FB too it’s amazing how many people have said they’re going through the same so glad I spoke out.
@@krisgleave for me “acceptance” is the most important starting point in my own life and that includes my addiction and health. I saw you mention you’re for a heart scan next week. I’m 52 now and while up the mountain training in November 18 on my enduro bike unbeknown to me, I suffered a serious heart attack. Long story short I was rushed to hospital and had stents put in. This for me is when my life just stopped. I was told clearly by the cardiologist “moderation”. I couldn’t accept that and paid the price by pushing my recovery on my terms and not the experts. So make sure you get checked out and above all, don’t beat yourself up as much. If your head convinces you not to go out, that’s okay, try your best to accept the situation as it is. You proved it with an incredible friend and wife by your side that you got back on your feet and kept going. Well done mate.
@Prince_Buster Thanks so much for your reply. Sorry to hear that, it’s crazy isn’t it how things can just happens all of a sudden. I’ve always had a low heart rate and drops really low in the evenings so that’s what I’m getting checked out. I wasn’t going to bother but my gf pushed me to get checked so I am. Stay safe and thanks for your support
Kris I am still pi55ing myself 14:51, you say under your breath "knob" - what did your man say? So funny
Haha I said “no” 😂😂. Can’t remember what he said but it’s definitely No haha.
Sharp Edge is pretty mad
Yeah I’ve done it before it’s not too long though. I fancy Halls Fell Ridge next.
@@krisgleave always enjoyed Pillar
I’ve actually never been up Pillar it’s on my list.
@@krisgleave you can do Bow Fell, Scarfell, Scarfell Pike walking west...highly recommended mate
@oldschool3670 I’ve done all those I’ve got some long routes for pillar and others as have a system for doing them. Thank you
What's that little watch / map combo that looks amazing! I was thinking of just downloading OS maps on my phone but that looks way cooler 😊
Scrap that...I paused the video on it and did some homework. Garmin fenix 5x is it? 😁
@gordonjervis770 Hi Gordon, it’s the Garmin 6X Pro which I have. Also, the mapping is by “Talkytoaster” if you google that. Garmin maps are useless as they are missing lots of information and don’t show contours. TalkyToaster offers a better mapping with national trails, contours, peaks and more on them. Massive difference and essentially. They’re about £14 I think.
@@krisgleave that's very helpful thank you, so much easier than getting hands out of gloves and phones etc! Will look into it.
@gordonjervis770 yeah definitely. When it’s really brutal conditions I sometimes take the watch off and put it on over my jacket too, so I don’t even have to roll my sleeves up 🤙🏼
When were you up there?😊
I'm not very impressed with the tent, spindrift?😊 Is it because it's a tunnel tent?
It’s a true full season tent but in most tents you’re going to get spindrift when it’s blowing the snow under the fly no matter how low it is. Hard to avoid. The video was shot about 10 days ago.
Cheers mate and your misses😊
Fantastic conditions and well done to Kate. Re the mental health issues , are you on a low fat or vegan diet by any chance ??? The reason i ask is because there seems to be a war against saturated fat which is vital for hormone balance and low fat diets are detrimental to hormone balance in both men and women so plays havoc with emotions , energy, focus to mention just a few things. Same for vegan diets but i am sure lots of people will attack me for saying that but i dont give a shite if they do ;)
Hi Olan, interesting information there but no, just on a normal diet. I do question some of my hormone levels though for sure and it’s something I’m actually looking into as tiredness and lots of different things a big factor at the moment the past year. Also having a heart monitor on for 24hrs next week for a check as always a low heart rate.
@krisgleave right to question that Chris with the amount of female hormones in the food chain and all the BS recommended diets. Plastics (BPAs) are massive hormone disruptors too and difficult to avoid and seed oils plus all the other additives, pesticeds and herbicides etc etc.....they want everyone on medications to ease the symptoms of us being poisoned instead of stopping poisoning us and as long as we keep saying yes to vaccines they will keep on making them because its a highly profitable business . What's wrong with prevention is the best cure .....Good luck with solving your issues but my guess it will be connected to " what's going in " and how it's going in 😉
How not to go camping on a hill in winter, no crampons, no walking ice axes. Irresponsible, don't be like these people.
Not irresponsible at all I usually have both however neither were needed on this. It was deep powder not ice. You don’t wear crampons in those conditions anyway.
BEST.CAMP.YET 🏔️☃️❄️🥶 Thank you for looking after me ☺️ It had everything! The views, the snow, the wind, the vestibule snow globe, the snacks (all of the snacks) still can’t shake where the sky merged into the floor - anxiety level 3000 at that point - did it though ❄️🙌🏼🫶🏼
100% it was awesome wasn’t it and as much as I know you struggled….you smashed it! Feet on the floor 😊. Awesome camp, awesome good, awesome weather and awesome company x
Brilliant to meet you Kris and Kay, i’m the gobby one - Kayne!🥸 Great hike that day and defo wouldn’t mind bumping into you again! We’ve been waiting to be famous on your channel. Stay safe and carry on hiking🤟🏽🥾 Have you got instagram?
Haha love it! So funny and glad you managed to find the video haha. Should’ve been out last week this video but just not had the time to get it out until now. Yeah sure my Instagram is @gleavek 🤙🏼
No worries. I keep chuckling at it (the video)! Have you got anymore planned? When (and if) i ever get as experienced as you i’d love to go wild camping like this. I’ll follow you now!
Wild camping is ace but always best to start close to home and have the right gear. You don’t have to spend a lot but you do need the gear you trust in the weather and to stay warm.
Probably back out next a week next Thursday or Friday together for a camp before heading the Outdoor Expo on the weekend. I’m hoping to get out maybe Friday night this week
