Gummers How, Lake District Wildcamp in the Helm 2
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 окт 2024
- Hello there! Welcome back to the channel and this week I'm back out Wild Camping in The Lake District on a rather un-challenging little hill called Gummers How, a very popular hill with very good views. I was lucky enough to have great conditions and even more lucky to get a cloud inversion in the morning!

Love the colours
Took my kids up gummers how when my folks lived in Ulverston years ago. It's a fabulous hill to walk and stay on.
Nice sunrise and cloud inversion 😊
Yeah I’ve been lucky a few times recently!
Loved this video, Thanks Leo. The Lake District really is stunning! Never been as I am wayyy South, only been to the Peak district thus far. I have the Helm compact 1 and absolutely love it, the 2 is on my wish list for that extra bit of comfort.
Aye I enjoy the room 🤣 thanks for the watch 👍
Awsome Leo mate, enjoyed that, I’ve got a couple of days working in the lakes next week so might have a night up here myself
Speak soon pal - Alan team54 ⛺️
wow absolutely loved those views , what a cracking place to pitch , im glad you mentioned about it being a good place for a first wild camp as im going to start next year with my 12 year old son and I do think this would be ideal , thanks for a great video .

Definitely a great spot for a wildcamp and easy to ‘bug out’ if you have any problems
@Leo - Man And Mountain thankyou
Love that cloud Inversion Timelapse 👌
Must confess I had to look up where Gummers How is, but it looks like a great spot for the views and plenty of pitch options. Nice vid.
Yeah it’s a great little spot, worth a walk up if your ever around there, if you just do a walk there is circular that’s about 5 miles that’s pretty good
I use a jet boil and have a skillet, it’s great but i always use dehydrated meals in winter as there’s no extra room in my bag with the extra clothing I have to take
Yeah I’ve ordered the stuff 🤣 so I’m gonna try and get out this weekend and try it out 👌
Cracking views from your pitch mate, what a nice evening that looked, rare these days in the lakes 🤣, helm 2 is a great tent, it’s what I use, cannot go wrong mate, that inversion looked spot on, great video👌 , atb Mick👍 (new subscriber) seen ya on Alan METALMAN channel
Welcome to the channel! I took the opportunity for possible good weather and it panned out nicely 🤣 was expecting to turn up to some pretty poor weather but I was on the good side of the forecast, I’m hoping to be out this weekend for a camp but I’ll be heading to the peaks instead, the forecast looks a lot better there! Thanks for the watch 👌
Pitched nice and early
🥇
Fantastic scenery - beautiful video 👍
Cheers, appreciate that, the scenery in the lakes is something special!
Great video .i think this will be my first wild camp .in March
Yes definitely a great spot for a first wild camp 👌 thanks for watching
Looks like you had fantastic time what about them views in the morning 👍
Absolutely fantastical, shame I couldn’t appreciate it longer!
Great video LeoI was up in the Lakes a few years ago with my wife on holiday and we walked up Gummers How to see the view and it is truly amazing. I couldn’t stop looking at potential pitching spots up there! 🤣 Anyway, you won’t go wrong getting yourself a Jetboil but get a Flash or slightly larger. That way you can make your own meals such as curry, spag bol, stews etc etc at home (just cook an extra portion for a normal meal) and put it in a BPA free Foil pouch (eBay) once cooled. Use your girlfriends hair straighteners or an iron to seal the pouch, write on the outside the name/date of the contents and pop it in the freezer. Take it out the evening before your wild camp and pack in your rucksack. Then you have a fantastic home cooked meal that you can pop in the Jetboil and simmer in hot water for around 10 minutes or so until piping hot. It only costs a few pence compared to £5 to £7 for a commercially produced meal. Plus you get a substantial portion to eat! That’s my top tip matey for one night camps. Looking forward to your next video. ATVB Graham 😎😎😎😎😎
Cheers for the tips, and I have bought the Flash 2.0 and the skillet pan so hopefully I’ll get out this weekend and test it!
@@LeoManAndMountain Good choice Leo. Looking forward to seeing it in action! 😎
Lovely video.
Cheers 👍
Great vid, loved the night footage, the inversion as well. Gonna give that location a try defo. Cheers 👍🏻
Yeah it’s a great location that’s really easy to get to 👍
Beautiful scenery ❤
Absolutely!
Blacks instore by one get one half price for summit to eat meals.
Good to know, I don’t quite know where my nearest store is but if I come across one I’ll have to pop in!
@@LeoManAndMountain just checked its online too.
@@michaelcli2007 winner! I’ll have have to see what they have
