Just found your channel mate. Going to keep me occupied for a good while catching up on all your videos. Cooking is incredible. Giving me loads of ideas. Chuffed ive found the channel. Absolutely champion.👍 Thank you.
Hi Chris. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. It’s very much appreciated mate. I can see why you’re a fan of WBF. Wish the visibility from the summit had have been a bit Better but really enjoyed it all the same. Only thing I don’t like about the cooking is humping it around on my back 🥵 Hopefully see you on a summit someday. ATB 🙏
Spot on Steve mate, weather looked a bit wild 😮, but great at the same time 👍, I have the same thing as you with sleep bag foot box getting a bit dampish, inner net definitely improves it, video quality of the cooking with your new camera looks great in that low light, atb Mick 👍
Hi Stuart. Hope you’re well 👍 Yeah, we had a bit of everything weather wise, sun, wind, rain, snow, clag, the lot. Looking forward to your next one. I see we’re Strava buddies now. Thanks for leaving a comment. It’s much appreciated. 🙏
Great video Stephen. I’m already looking forward to getting my hands on the Trangia Masterclass Cook Book. It’ll make a lovely Christmas present for Mrs B 😂
Its a cracking fell that mate I did it last winter in snow over by the cairns great spot.. Good route round too over to swarth fell same route I did.. Interesting see how you get on with inner in ts..I cant make me mind up if I'm too tall for it my head & feet seem to touch either end of inner.. Another cracking trangia masterclass too..tfs Andy..
Cheers Andy. Never made it to the Cairns. Didn’t have time as we wanted to filter water out of that tarn And get pitched before sunset. Might go back on a clearer day and camp Near those cairns. Could have done with a pair of those safety specs you nicked from work the next morning 🤣 I also find the TS inner too small. I’m 6ft and I’m touching both ends as well. Much prefer the TS without an inner but when spin drift or insects are a risk There’s no other option. Still Love it though. Handles wind unbelievably well. I find the Duomid inner more roomy. All the best mate. 👍
These chicken curry’s look great I watched the one with Andy beavers I’ll give one ago hopefully with my two sons end of next week for my 59th birthday jyst started watching your channel with your dad great
Lovely spot that. Can’t beat boring sheltered away from the horrible weather knowing you’re going to be warm and dry. I like the new Sony shots mind ya. Footage is looking ace of it. They are another level aren’t they. Master class as always provided good top tier scran too. Really enjoyed it. Hopefully see you on a hill soon. Atb Mark.
Cheers Mark. Looking forward to your vid tomorrow. Yeah, that Sony is top draw in low light. I reckon the GoPro still has the edge when it’s bright and sunny because its stabilisation is unbelievable whereas the Sony really needs to be on a tripod. Yeah, hopefully meet on a hill sometime this year 👍 All the best mate. 🙏
@@belowaveragewildcamper yeah I love my Sony for my photography. They put everything to shame. I have the go pro 12 now and manage good low light as it lets me make a custom preset where I limit the iso so it isn’t noisy. It’s a good feature. Yep the go pro can handle everything and they are so strong. It also allows you to record in every piece of weather too.
Cheers Wayne mate. Aye, spiky wind. Nowt worse. Could have done with a pair of those safety specs Andy Beavers nicked from the stores at work 🤣 All the best marra 🙏
Wot no Dave....!😯 Bet he's glad he stayed out of that weather...😄 It did look pretty choppy...!🥶 Did U take a temperature reading...?🤔 Good to get out with ya mate Kieran though...👍 Very entertaining, informative & always amusing...😆 Quality of filming/editing/views/etc is great...💯 That Curry looked banging & totally enjoy watching another NVQ Trangia Master Class in Professional Cooking...✔️ (on top of a Mountain...!)🤣 Dam, those snow holes could prove right dangerous if there was a full covering...😯 Stay safe dude & best wishes to ya Dave...!🙂👍
Hi Kev, thank you mate. Much appreciated. It was no lower than -1 but the wind chill was the killer 🥶 My Dad had a bit of a cold so swerved this adventure. Just as well 🤣 All The very best Kev 🙏
Brrr! Another good video. With the usual tasty feast. Whoever goes with you is always well fed. You'll have queue of volunteers to keep you company. I'll wait for warmer weather before i venture out into the wild. My meals will be Michelin zero starred boil in the bag 😉
Another great video! thanks for posting. I went up to the lake district on Sunday and followed the route you took from Hartsop to Angle tarn, it was a really great day and an amazing hike. Thanks for posting all your great content, always love your videos and the masterclasses ;)
Well, I’m pleased you asked. I did a night class at Gateshead College. An NVQ Level 1 in Professional cooking as it happens, but I really don’t like to go on about it. All the best 🙏
Cracking video, as always. That looked a very tasty wild boar curry on chicken fell! 🤣 It's been ages since I've been up there and it's tough going in those conditions but that summit plateau/ridge is quite something when it's clear. I remember that boggy approach too!
Hi Irene, the route we took off Swarth Fell was the boggiest I’ve ever walked through. Boar Curry 🤔 now that might work. Thanks for watching and commenting. All the best 🙏
Great video as always! You and Blot are my go to at the minute, you for the food fix and blot for the drinks!! Im looking at getting a trailstar for year round use, where did you get the inner? Just reviewing weights- cheers 👍
Cheers mate. Really pleased you enjoyed it. I got the inner from Mountain Laurel Designs. I find the inner in the trailstar a bit restrictive with regards space. I much prefer the Duomid when it has the inner inside. The Trailstar is a much better shelter without an inner. All the best mate 🙏
Cheers Chris mate. I’ll Try and send you a link on this comment to where I parked and the route. Can’t believe how pissed you got Andy Wardle. He was absolutely finished. Sunderland 1 Newcastle 0.

@belowaveragewildcamper Aye champion marra, I've been reading that parking at The Thrang just south of Mallerstang is the best spot 👌 😉 To be fair Andy had more beers than me but the whisky definitely sent him over the edge haha 🥃🤪👍🤣
@@BLOTOUTDOORSSHOW couldnt believe he ended up in the stream with a bust lip 🤣 I suppose if you don’t manage to get parked at the spot you’ve read about, the spot I parked at isn’t much further down the road. It’s a good summit Wild Boar Fell. Unfortunately as soon as we got up there the weather arrived and we had no views. Enjoy mate. Looking forward to the video. All the best mate 👍
Awesome looking curry! Brave man BTW cooking in the conditions. Have you got a 1/8th inch foam pad to combat the sliding? Got mine from Atom Packs and works a treat. Thanks for uploading, Steve. ATB. 👍
Hi Nick, thanks for watching and commenting. Yeah I have one of those pads as well but it didn’t help much. It’s my own fault. I should have taken more care to find a more level pitch. Those pads usually work a treat and they’re so versatile. All the best mate 🙏
Nice vid again, the curry looked good and nice to see some of the walk, it looked tough. I put more water in my rice then taste to see if it’s done, then drain it, perfect every time, but I haven’t got my nvq level 1 though😂 What make is that hoodie you wear?
Hi Guys, yeah I tried to include a bit more of the hike. Really pleased you enjoyed it. Good advice on the rice. I try to make it without the need to drain it just to reduce on faff and mess and water. But your method would definitely produce better rice. Thanks for taking the time to comment. Really appreciate it 🙏
Nice one Steve. You took a tough way up. Best way IMO is via the col at High Dolphinsty and via the Nab. I park at NY 78342 00086 or just north of there. Anyhow looks as cold as it was last Tuesday for my little trip. There does need to be a sequel though mate, I was hoping to see you guys in deck chairs at the tarn😂on that nice beach.
I as hoping to have a swim in that tarn to be honest 🥶 What a great plateau. I’ll have to go back on a clear day as I’d imagine the view of The Howgills is great. Thanks for the parking tip mate. All the best 🙏
Has to be the finest moment of Asian cooking ever carried out on the fells of the North. Chapeau Steve, an absolute feast. 👏
Well that is quite the accolade Steve. I’m glad you enjoyed it. It was a tough camp that one. Took me 2 days to recover. All the very best mate 🙏
Just found your channel mate. Going to keep me occupied for a good while catching up on all your videos.
Cooking is incredible. Giving me loads of ideas.
Chuffed ive found the channel. Absolutely champion.👍 Thank you.
Hi Sean. Thank you. Hope you enjoy the back catalogue. All the best mate. 👍
A great experience that Steve......I'm a big fan of WBF. That curry looked ace. I wish I could be bothered cooking quality meals like that. 👌

Liked and subscribed fellow wild campers 👍
Nice one Ben. Much appreciated 🙏
full thumbs up for doing a scratch curry in that environment, ultimate wild camp and cookup in one great video.
Hey, thanks for watching and leaving a comment. Much appreciated mate. 🙏
That sliding feeling when you realise your sleep mat is on a slope has to be one of the worst ever! Thanks for another great video.
Hi Phil, hope you’re well.
Yeah, I hate the constant sliding!!!’ All the best mate. 🙏
@@belowaveragewildcamper "squiggle" some silicone in ridges across your mat to help stop you slide off
Class that one, dying to get out, had the actual flu though, nearly flipping killed me
It was a hard slog that one Dan. Only just pulled myself together.
Covid then flu. Pesky dirty infected patients eh 🤣
Get well soon mate 👍

Great video as usual, and the food always looks amazing. Almost perfect conditions too, love camping in winter 😎

@@belowaveragewildcamper yeah I'm hoping to get out next week for a camp in Snowdonia, hoping to get a sprinkling of snow if I'm lucky!
Great video Stephen. I’m already looking forward to getting my hands on the Trangia Masterclass Cook Book. It’ll make a lovely Christmas present for Mrs B 😂
Thanks Brian. It’s due to be released Nov 24 all being well. Foreword by Delia Smith. Should make a cracking present. 👍
Wow! Great conditions, great vid, great food, nice one!
Thanks Graham. Much appreciated mate. Really enjoyed this one but it was hard graft 🙏
