Yeah, I don’t know what it is about that area but I just didn’t get any good vibes about it! Sheffield Pike was a nice pitch though, if only I’d have gone there in the first place!
Thanks Callum. I’d have been fine on top but I made a bit of a selfish call tbh as it was obvious it was going to clag in looking towards the west. I’m guessing you guys couldn’t see a thing from about 9pm onwards!
Class vid mate - shame about the wind and cold but that’s the lakes for you. Had an awesome camp up on Watsons Dodd a couple of years back but it was 30degrees and not a cloud in the sky 😜😜
Yeah would have been cool if I could have had a wander around and have a chill out as the views were pretty good towards Skiddaw and Keswick. I probably won’t go back though unless I decide one day to complete the Wainwrights, should have done Great Dodd whilst I was up there dammitt!
I must admit when I picked my summit I was factoring in a few things, great views, not too high in case the clouds dropped in and a high potential of a signal. You definitely sounded like you had way higher wind than we felt on ours. Great video bud. All the best
I should have done the same in retrospect! Having said that I changed from Pillar to Esk Pike, to Watson’s Dodd and ended up on Sheffield Pike so they got lower and lower!
I notice you mention hip pain, I take a small inflatable pillow for in between knees when side sleeping, worth a try, Im waiting for my new hip lol, had one done, Game changer for sure :)
Wind! The Wildcampers nemesis. 😂 looked a right slog that one. Nice video mate.

Cracking video mate, we were up on Nethermost Pike, nice seeing the clag on your video from down below 🙈 enjoyed it mate, ATB 👌🏼

Nice one Dave, definitely the right decision to drop down, weather definitely wasn’t the best but was a great weekend,

Sure was mate. Looking forward to the next one.
Great video, good hike shefield pike😁
Anything with Pike or Crag in the name are usually quite interesting places I find.

@@boolay75 oh yeah, pillar would have been really exposed too. I had 30mph last time I was on that and it was brutal
As I said on the chat safety first. Was a chilly night, I put my gloves on ⛰️🏕️🤣😁
It’s a strange one. If I’d have stayed at least I’d have been able to get in to wine a lot sooner 😂
@@boolay75I just went straight up, pitched and had some wine 🍷🤣
Then got wrapped up 🤣😊
Good video . Think I would of made the same choice . Sheffield Pikes a more interesting Fell anyway .
Yeah I love places like Sheffield Pike. Not really into huge grassy fells. Why I’ve always thought summit of Helvellyn is a bit overrated as well.
You took a tactical decision based on safety first. No need to ask the question.
only if a fail if u do go.

Thanks for the tip. I’ll try it next time!
