      @belowaveragewildcamper  Год назад +1

      Hi Dan. The Langdales is an amazing place. The spot where I camped on the Pike of Stickle was the best. It’ll only fit one tent but there are a few other pitches dotted about if you’re going with anyone else. All the best mate. 👍

    Nice one Steve. Really enjoyed it. That was a big walk you did there. Truly stunning conditions, once in a lifetime stuff. Can I suggest you get some slip on spikes for your boots. A fall in those conditions with a heavy pack on your back would not be great at all. ATB pal 👍

      Cheers for watching Dave. That means a lot mate 👍
      Great advice. Yeah, I literally ordered a pair about a day after getting back. It was a really tricky descent of Harrison Stickle that would have been a hell of a lot less tricky with some spikes on.
      I stumbled over your channel just under a year ago. Until then I’d never even heard of wild camping on mountains. Since then it’s all I think about mate 🤣 cheers for inspiring me enough to get stuck in.

    Great day out. DO use your poles on the way down. They will give you years more use into later years. My knees have started to go (I'm 66). I'd do less mile's on a heavy pack and get it as light as you can. Give yourself more time to pitch. Get yourself some micro spikes. I recommend Kahtoola. Very good grip on icey ground. You will experience high adrenaline on early camps. It's so exciting. ATB uncle Pete's wild adventures.

      @@belowaveragewildcamper some other thoughts. Keep boozing out of your videos and you’ll have bigger audience. Some of these you tubers take 6-8 cans on a wild camp. Why? Who wants to watch two blokes boozing in a tent and what about that is safe on a mountain? I’m about the same age as your dad and I think I’d have limited my loads much earlier. I’m convinced it’s worth getting the lightest possible and best designed rucksack , ATOM PACKS MO50? Expensive but well designed in Keswick. I think you make good videos and have a nice easy going style. Looking forward to your next one.
