Hi Im on my dads account i just wanna say your videos were such a comfort to my father in his last days he was quite the wanderer and he loved the lakes was like gis second home unfortunately he passed away last month due to cancer. I now watch your videos as a comfort for myself they remind me of my dad thank you so much.
I’m so sorry to hear this. May I please offer you my deepest condolences at this difficult time. I remember your dad commenting on one of my videos in the summer, saying how he used to go backpacking when he was younger and was now enjoying my videos as he couldn’t get out any more. Sounds like he had an amazing time back then and I’m sure he had many an interesting tale to tell. Really appreciate you letting me know about this. Your dads comment gave me such inspiration as I have been struggling myself this year. Hopefully you can continue to enjoy my future videos, too. Stay strong and take care - Dave 🙏🏻
@@TheSoloSummiteer Thanks so mucch he did mention it yes he was so made up to of been able to chat with you. His health did decline quite quickly :/ but his love for the lakes never stopped he took me to catbells and kitten bells when i was younger he wanted to again with me we sadly never had the time. Again thank you i hope you are well please take care of yourself ! You are wonderdul inspiration to many
Oh man I really wish you could keep going if at all possible. You’re not a moaner. I don’t think any of us mind you sharing if you feel a bit down. That’s not moaning. Even if you put a video out once in a while we’d love it. The scenery in this video was brilliant. You’re such a likeable guy. I think I speak for a lot of subscribers.
Excellent as usual, don't panic about how long it takes to get back out, we will all be here waiting, hope for a speedy recovery. It was great to see a different area of the lake district. Just shows a plan B is always needed in case of bad weather and it turned out well in the end. You can always go back to plan A another time. Wish you all the best dave. Look forward to seeing more soon. 👍👍
Hi Dave, Stay safe,take the break,come back refreshed. Your channel has inspired me and no doubt many others. You're a good honest down to earth Northern lad. Take it easy M8. ATB Mick.🙂👊👍
Please, if at all possible, keep your channel going. It's an inspiration to so many of us, and I look forward to a new video popping up. Take care of yourself.
Hi mate,I will be sorry to not see videos from you, they bring the things I love about the high places into my home. They are allways interesting, you are a good guide! you bring an artistic eye to what you give us, not just the lovely views, but the small things, a lovely flower, a sheep or a waterfall perhaps. I hope all goes well with things for you and hope you will be back sometime soon, when you are ready! I hope to see you on the hill!
Hi. Bit late to the comments on this one but hope you have had the hand operation and are recovering well. Many people will be desperate to see more of your superb videos. Not only informative with spectacular views but enhanced greatly by your friendly, down to earth manner. It really does feel like we are making the trips with you. For those who haven't been able to get out into the mountains recently your output has been invaluable. I, like many others, find your adventures a welcome distraction and hope you will be filled with a renewed enthusiasm to be back out again very soon.
Take care of yourself Dave, really hope the channel continues for us town locked folk it brings a huge amount of joy but first and foremost is your own wellbeing, so take time out to reflect and look after after yourself, truly hope to see you back on here before too long. ATB with the finger op, lets hope they get it sorted this time around.
I feel selfish for saying this, but I hope you don't stop making your videos, I for one would miss them immensely. But whatever you decide I wish you the very best of luck for the future, I have absolutely loved watching your videos. Take care and all the best 👍
The thing I like about you Dave is you don’t try and hide anything. You don’t BS and you’ve got that ‘get on with it’ positive attitude. Please don’t lose that. Life is generally a continual uphill grind with a barrage of trivial man made distractions thrown at us. I think we’ve forget to stop and take in the simplicity’s of nature and the benefits it gives us. Your videos reminds us all to take time and reach out to nature no matter how small a space that is. Stay strong and safe my friend. Most of all keep a healthy sense of humour. ✊
Hi David. Very sorry to hear that you are considering not making any more videos. I've enjoyed watching each episode immensely and whatever your decision is, I wish you the very best. I hope your hand heels quickly and thank you so much for all the enjoyment you have provided to me and it's obvious from the other comments, many others. Good luck.
Have a speedy recovery Dave, I hope to see you out in the lakes again soon. Us poor people down south rely on adventurers like you to keep us going until we can make the trip ourselves.
Top Man Dave. Another fantastic video. Focus on your health and head my friend and do what makes you happy. Your videos have done exactly what you set them out to do, they’ve provided an escape from the hustle and bustle of real life and transported thousands of us up into those fells with you to share a brew with a view. I hope you’re recovering well from your op. All the best mate, Ryan.
Hope you can get back out soon Dave, your channel has become one of my favourites. Your videos have motivated me to get out and enjoy some beautiful locations this past year.
Fantastic as usual Dave. You don’t realise how much positivity you have on people. If it is the last blog you do then. Thanks for all the time and effort you’ve done for showing us the great outdoors. Hope your hand is on the mend and you’re back out doing what you love whether you vlog it or not.
Thanks for another superb adventure shared. Wish you luck with the hand op and hope to see you back active again very soon. Sharing your miserable times is welcome too you know, a challenge shared is a challenge reduced ❤️. I know the mountains clear our heads and provide solace, gratitude and perspective but you don’t have to do it all alone always. Come back soon pal ⛰😎🙏
Mate, your videos take me away from the real world. I binge on them while working from home. You are a brave man camping in those remote places..on Moors especially.. I am too chicken. Love what you do. Hope you can continue when u can. Were all waiting keenly for that notification bell. Speedy recovery.
Another great vlog thanks. My wife and I are slowly catching up with your channel and enjoying every episode. Keep up the great adventures and please keep up the vlogging; the areas you go to are wonderful and you're an inspiration, bless you 🙏
It's always a pleasure to watch your vlogs, wish you all the luck with your operation, dont rush back to quick, but hope to see you back on your channel, bring us 1st class content, but if not wish you all the best in the future, what ever path you take 👍🍻🍻
I was gutted watching the sign off Dave! Both for you and us. Take the time away, we’ll all be here when you return. For me, you in the top couple of mountain wild campers that influences and inspires me the most. It goes beyond motivation for paths, pitches, views and kit. It’s also the feeling. You’ve clearly had a tough year and if we don’t see you again this year I’d like to wish you a quick recovery from the hand operation and the other issues - physical or otherwise - you’ve experienced this year. You’ve done so well to get out so many times in spite of these issues and provide these videos for us. Take care mate 🏔
I love how youve recorded the hiker errors! Seemed like an incredibly tough hike in the intense wind. Can't have the fantastic hikes without the bad!!! Good luck with your surgery ☺ Much love, Katy 💫💛
Always look forward to your no nonsense down to earth adventures. As mentioned in other comments, your well-being is more important. Even if you never produce more content, you have certainly left your mark and will be missed. Best of luck for the future, and take care.
You don't always have to be positive but you do always have be yourself because that's why we enjoy watching your videos. It's not only for the mountains but to follow the highs and lows of your life along the way. Stay strong. Life is hard but a lot of people are rooting for you. Thank you letting us travel this journey with you.
I've been massively inspired by your videos mate so please don't stop doing them & I hope I will one day bump into you whilst on my own adventures in the lakes. Massive respect to you 👏 👍
Great video again mate, never a fail when you get to camp where you did🏞. Hopefully you feel a bit more upbeat now the op went well, get back out soon as you can, even without filming, just yourself and the mountains, lakes and fells. Get your smile back👍💪🤘 hope to see you back on my tv🏞🤘
Just spent some time reading all the comments for this video and I have to say it’s lovely to realise that channels like yours can be so positive for people. In many ways the fact you’ve brought the joy of nature into peoples homes during such a tough period of time makes it all the more important that everyone wants to see you back to your old self. As others have already said take the time to get yourself right, but definitely realise that you’re very much appreciated. Wishing you a speedy recovery. Take care of yourself.
hi uncle, i just found your channel, and i really like it, watch and enjoy it and inspire me, thank you uncle, i'm a child who likes adventure and action in the wild with my dad, i support you uncle, hopefully healthy always and we can keep connected. warm greetings from lavameriu in Indonesia.
Keep smashing them out Dave, we all have crappy days mate but watching your videos makes life so much better, you’ve got a lot of friends here mate and once you’re on the mend we should all get together for a winter camp at Red Tarn or somewhere 😎😎 look forward to the next one bud 🍺🍺🍺 atb Tony
I seriously hope you don't go missing from RUclips Dave. I can't walk any serious hills anymore so really look forward to your videos. My wife and I were telling a couple in the Peak District a couple of weeks back about you and the channel. All the best in your recovery mate and really do hope to see you out soon.
Definitely don't quit the channel if it's because you worry that taking time away will take a hit to the progress you've made. Having companies approach you shows that what you're doing is great not only for us viewers but for them too. I for one really enjoy your videos, gives me a huge sense of wanderlust and inspires me to look further afield than my nearest peaks and hills to visit. However, if there's other stresses in your life that require you to take time away I guarantee you the vast majority of us subscribers would be waiting if/when you came back to it. Don't like the b**tards get you down!
Nice video Dave. Definitely not a fail. More a sensible decision to camp in a more sheltered spot. Hope the op goes well and look forward to seeing more videos from you.
Great to see you out in my local stomping ground again - a great wee range of hills. Hope you get yourself sorted out soon and that you continue producing these excellent videos. Haste ye back
You only live once, do what makes you happy, stop doing what fails to fulfill you. But know that if you do decide to continue with your youtube adventures I will be watching and enjoying them. I have said before, in the USA they can fix Dupuytrens Contracture with an outpatient injection, maybe that is not offered onnthe NHS, not sure why not as it would seem to be less expensive than surgery, or maybe your particular case was not appropriate for it. Whatever you decide, get well, stay well and do what you need to do be happy.
Just watched your great video pal i love walking in derbyshire live here i struggle with my mental health but its my medicine.when i watch your videoes my heart beat reduces and put me in a great place .good look with op all the best mark
Hi Dave Looking at your hand in the video I’m assuming it’s Dupuytrens Contracture I had it a few years ago, had the operation to straighten the fingers its nothing to worry about mate You’ll probably be prescribed physio afterwards and then be as good as new It’s known as ‘Vikings Disease’ because of its prevalence in Northern Europe I’m a proud Yorkshireman Stay positive All the best Alan
Speedy recovery Dave . Really hope the channel continues. You bring so much joy and inspiration to folk. But look after number one and get thee self in a good positive happy place. Your followers will still be here waiting for you. Physical and mental wellbeing is more important. All the best 👍
I love watching you get out and about don't worry how long it takes, i will still be subscribed and weighting for you next adventure thanks for doing the chanel and making the effort to put good content on it, stay safe get well soon,
Like so many I really enjoy your channel and your positive and cheerful attitude I wish you a speedy recovery from the hand op and hope you are not gone from our screens to long, take care Dave, ATB, Les.
You have thousands of people sitting here hoping we'll get to share more adventures with you. How cool is that?? Here's to a quick and smooth hand recovery, and I hope the channel can be a motivation to you to enjoy the outdoors again when the time is right ✌️
Just found your channel, loved it, nice to hear a great YORKSHIRE ACCENT EEEH BY GUM, thank you hope all goes well with your hand op, takecare Lv Jacqueline
Dave, the great outdoors is your release please carry on enjoying it. If you can continue with the videos whilst you are enjoying the escape, fantastic. However you come first and if it’s not possible then it’s been a great journey. Hope all goes well with the hand, stay positive.
Hope you’re well on the mend Dave. I also hope you’re able to keep your channel going as I think you deliver great content and a positive message. Take care of yourself and keep your chin up.
You're a legend mate, only recently discovered the channel and watched every video already. So glad you've carried it on. Hopefully see you out on the fells one day...
Nice vid as always Dave. Hope to op goes well and do what is best for you, i am sure if you have break and then decide to come back your subscribers will still be here.
Fantastic video as always and so delighted that the company reached out to you, well deserved and recognition of your brilliant channel. Stay positive and here's to a better remainder of the year and 2022! Top man and ATB Dave
Brilliant video as useual.. I find an adventure boring if all went to plan without hickups route changes poor weather etc, feels more like a proper venture if you have change plans along the way 😁 keep this going if you can, the mountains will still be there once you've recovered from your op.. Plus it's good viewing watching your library vids 👍 inspiring 😁 Takecare and hope all goes well.. I'm currently awaiting a spinal operation which puts my venturing plans on hold for a few months. But keep positive and make future plans in your down time to keep your spirits up 👍😁
Glad to see you are back out and about Dave, great to see you are on the mend after your hand operation stay safe Jim ps I hope you do keep the Channel going it's one of the best on you tube love your adventures take care and get well soon Jim
Hope to see you again soon on top form. I have loved watching your videos. I love wild camping with my 7 year old son and even he looks forward to your next video. Thanks again
Wow, Dave a fantastic hike, thanks for taking us along! Your new gear is really suave looking! I do wish you well with your operation and hope things turn around for you! Take care and hopefully we’ll se you back on track very soon! ⛺️👣🦉👍😎
Really enjoy your channel Dave, it’s inspired me to get out in the mountains again after many years, and to try wild camping for the first time. The quality and content of your videos is outstanding and just watching one makes me want to get out there! All the best with the operation, hope it all gets sorted quickly and hope to see you back in the hills soon.
That area looks brilliant. I've always overlooked it in favour of the more popular places. I definitely want to explore it now 👍. Take care Dave thanks for all your great videos. Hope you keep going when you can. Cheers dude 🍻🏔️
I'm a massive fan of your channel Dave. I really like your simple, informative and light-hearted approach to your videos. As many others have said, I also get a lot from your videos. Do what's right for you but I would definitely miss the uploads. Take care👍
Great video again! Please try and keep it going, the vlogs are so great!!!!!! I also like the odd moan here and there as it makes it real. We can all relate to bad weather, aches and pains, being knackered and having things not going to plan. Your blogs are inspirational stuff Dave, keep it going if you can 👍
Dave, your videos always bring a smile and the views and locations are always great. The channel is first class, quality can’t be rushed so we will wait patiently for your next one if you decide to go ahead. Hope they finally sort your operation and it goes well. 👍👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Thanks from a Londoner who enjoys living vicariously through your videos, hope all’s gone well with your op.
Best choice to adapt and stay out mate! You’ll be back out soon smashing the winter! Nothing but positivity from you. 👌👍

Just watched your great video pal i love walking in derbyshire live here i struggle with my mental health but its my medicine.when i watch your videoes my heart beat reduces and put me in a great place .good look with op all the best mark
Catching up on your videos, great work as always. It demonstrated real life decision making on the hills.
Big thanks Mal 🙏🏻
Hi Dave
Looking at your hand in the video I’m assuming it’s Dupuytrens Contracture
I had it a few years ago, had the operation to straighten the fingers its nothing to worry about mate
You’ll probably be prescribed physio afterwards and then be as good as new
It’s known as ‘Vikings Disease’ because of its prevalence in
Northern Europe
I’m a proud Yorkshireman
Stay positive
All the best
Alan
Just catching up on your vids pal . .off to lakes next week .It keeps dragging us back . 👍
Stay strong and keep smiling 😀
Speedy recovery Dave . Really hope the channel continues. You bring so much joy and inspiration to folk. But look after number one and get thee self in a good positive happy place. Your followers will still be here waiting for you. Physical and mental wellbeing is more important. All the best 👍
Keep up the good work Dave, good to bump into you on Sunday underneath Great End.

You have thousands of people sitting here hoping we'll get to share more adventures with you. How cool is that?? Here's to a quick and smooth hand recovery, and I hope the channel can be a motivation to you to enjoy the outdoors again when the time is right ✌️
All the best mate, hope to see you again.

Dave, the great outdoors is your release please carry on enjoying it. If you can continue with the videos whilst you are enjoying the escape, fantastic. However you come first and if it’s not possible then it’s been a great journey. Hope all goes well with the hand, stay positive.
Good call Dave. Not worth the sleepless night and more tent repairs. Nice spot in the end.
Hope you’re well on the mend Dave. I also hope you’re able to keep your channel going as I think you deliver great content and a positive message. Take care of yourself and keep your chin up.
You're a legend mate, only recently discovered the channel and watched every video already. So glad you've carried it on. Hopefully see you out on the fells one day...
Big thanks Jack 😎🙏🏻👍
Nice vid as always Dave. Hope to op goes well and do what is best for you, i am sure if you have break and then decide to come back your subscribers will still be here.
Hope the op goes well keep the channel going un till I can get out, for my trip keep😀 best wishes for the op
Fantastic video as always and so delighted that the company reached out to you, well deserved and recognition of your brilliant channel. Stay positive and here's to a better remainder of the year and 2022! Top man and ATB Dave
Brilliant video as useual.. I find an adventure boring if all went to plan without hickups route changes poor weather etc, feels more like a proper venture if you have change plans along the way 😁 keep this going if you can, the mountains will still be there once you've recovered from your op.. Plus it's good viewing watching your library vids 👍 inspiring 😁 Takecare and hope all goes well.. I'm currently awaiting a spinal operation which puts my venturing plans on hold for a few months. But keep positive and make future plans in your down time to keep your spirits up 👍😁
Glad to see you are back out and about Dave, great to see you are on the mend after your hand operation stay safe Jim ps I hope you do keep the Channel going it's one of the best on you tube love your adventures take care and get well soon Jim
Hope to see you again soon on top form. I have loved watching your videos. I love wild camping with my 7 year old son and even he looks forward to your next video. Thanks again
Wow, Dave a fantastic hike, thanks for taking us along! Your new gear is really suave looking! I do wish you well with your operation and hope things turn around for you! Take care and hopefully we’ll se you back on track very soon! ⛺️👣🦉👍😎

All the very best. Love the vids. Hope all goes well.
Another great video. Take care.
Love your channel hope operation goes well we're going nowhere 👍
Nice trip.
Really enjoy your channel Dave, it’s inspired me to get out in the mountains again after many years, and to try wild camping for the first time. The quality and content of your videos is outstanding and just watching one makes me want to get out there! All the best with the operation, hope it all gets sorted quickly and hope to see you back in the hills soon.
Dave, hope all is well with you, mate. Great video as usual. Looking forward to seeing you coming back stronger than ever. Atb.
That area looks brilliant. I've always overlooked it in favour of the more popular places. I definitely want to explore it now 👍. Take care Dave thanks for all your great videos. Hope you keep going when you can. Cheers dude 🍻🏔️
I hope you have a quick recovery after the surgery and I will stay subscribed waiting for your next upload. However long that may be. Take care.
I'm a massive fan of your channel Dave. I really like your simple, informative and light-hearted approach to your videos. As many others have said, I also get a lot from your videos. Do what's right for you but I would definitely miss the uploads. Take care👍
All the best mate 👍
Great video again! Please try and keep it going, the vlogs are so great!!!!!! I also like the odd moan here and there as it makes it real. We can all relate to bad weather, aches and pains, being knackered and having things not going to plan. Your blogs are inspirational stuff Dave, keep it going if you can 👍
Its great to see you back out and manage to get your tent repaired
Keep the vids coming bro
Lots of love
Mr lion 🦁
Really enjoy all of your videos Dave. Hope your health improves and you are back in the mountains soon.
Brilliant video mate, thoroughly enjoyed it. Nice to see another part of the lakes, Si
Stay safe mate , we'll be here when you're ready 🖖
I hope you carry on Dave, I think you have one of the better channels for wild camping! Good luck with the op!
Dave, your videos always bring a smile and the views and locations are always great. The channel is first class, quality can’t be rushed so we will wait patiently for your next one if you decide to go ahead. Hope they finally sort your operation and it goes well. 👍👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
