The pass was still closed last Tuesday as well. May not have gone on Red Screes but both pitches you visited looked dam fine to me - amazing views. That rain sounded brutal while it lasted and I have given up on the Mountain forecast as a way to gauge the weather in the lakes. Sunrise in the lakes - it does not get much better, cheers Alan
Yes mate, going to be for quite a while - it's on the Lakes / Highways website. Shame as it cuts off a bit of the area I enjoy unless I take the long way round!
Very atmospheric this one Chris, a real nice spot mate. I seem to recall they were closing Kirkstone Pass for a second time when I was up there last in the van. You had some weather too in this one, rain and hail! Winter is coming pal! Loved it!
Looks like a spectacular location Chris. I definitely agree, autumn is the best time of year. Guess I'll need to find somewhere else next weekend if the Kirkstone Pass is out of action 👍
That was a tester Chris and no waterproof jacket !!!!! loved the Autumn atmosphere you captured and as always this time of year the colours are stunning and picked out lovely spot eventually I have a NAMMATJ 3 GT bomb proof shelter for this country BUT consider its only 1 door and you need to get lucky to pitching in the wind direction or your in for a disturbed night same as any tunnel tent and also its on the heavy side especially after a wet strike be interested in your thoughts
Thanks for taking us along on this beautiful adventure. The scenery is just amazing! Looks like the cooler weather is coming to your part of the world too. I love this time of year. Have a great coming week. ATB.
Great content yet again Chris. Nice to have the knowledge of the clouds, knowing what's about and potentially what's coming. I hope you brought your boots in when the hail started...! Lovely cinematics on the anti meridian with the sunrise, beautiful. All the very best sa
The lake District is the most magical area of the UK. Steeped in history and breathtaking views with mountains all around. I felt I was in another country than the UK when I stayed there over a week. It really soothed the soul to get back to nature. Something very special about seeing the mist rolling off the mountains into the lakes. Will not forget my time there
Great video Chris. Tent looks solid and its a great feeling to be in a tent when its lashing down outside with a wind chill.That stove is deffo a lot quieter than a jetboil or similar and makes for a tranquil camp.Might have to get one of those for future camps. Super camera work fella but i was a bit worried about your rucksack outside and glad i saw it in the porch later on. Great camp Chris and tha ks for sharing your adventure with us inspiring people to get out there a chillax but also respecting our great outdoors. Looks like a good substitute camp from the wonderful Red Screes intended camp. Atb Chris. Take it easy pal.
Hi mate, was out last night, the star's were out great views but the cold mate, the weather was a harsh cold first of the year. Frosty morning but the coffee kicked in lol. Great video mate cheers for sharing. Atb Andy
Stunning pitch there Chris. That is what it's all about. I love a camp that has it all. Wind, rain, sun, views! Wish I lived nearer to the Lakes. I love the Peaks, but it's a stretch too far from the Midlands for a regular visit.
Cracking video as always Chris. What stunning views! How many Hilleberg tents have you been working your way through now mate? Must be some kind of record 😃
I guess I'm weird 'cause I love it too 😄 Winter snow camping is headed my way 🥶 I'll be doing a mixture of hot tent camping & roughing in in my Soulo BL. Great video. Cheers 🍻
That was a cracking video Chris. Spot on location in the end mate 😅 It was brilliant seeing the views on video. I’ll be watching this one a few times I think. Thanks mate👌👍
Nice one Joe - thank you for the steer - was a faff putting it away (I didn't fancy turning into a human kit) but definitely worth it in the end. You have some fantastic spots on your doorstep - the walk back in the sun was sheer autumnal bliss. ATB mate
Great spot Chris! A nice mix of conditions on this camp. At least you got to see some views as well. G1000 is definitely as absolutely incredible material. I didn’t have the wind on my last camp to dry out my trousers but my body heat alone had them dry by the time I went to bed. Just fantastic stuff! Thanks for the Sunday afternoon entertainment. All the best buddy!
Cheers mate - it was brutal when the hail storm passed over, the camera never does it justice. Nice to experience a cold one with contrasting weather! The Keb's dried out insanely quickly - much faster than the Norrona anorak too. Thanks for watching mate !
Nice one mate. Atmospheric indeed. I like those conditions. Really feels comfortable. Even in the rain. It’s only water. Weather forecast is definitely not to be trusted 😂 😂 we all do it. Nice to see ya in the hills again. 👍 Send nammatjes 1 each.
Hi. Lovely views there. I see you had some sort of Base on which you rested your alcohol stove. What was that? I've just bought my first alcohol stove ( Alpkit Bruler) and although it has some inbuilt folding mini legs, I'm wondering if I need some sort of a base to go underneath the burner. Do they typically spew out lot of heat and you need to be careful about where you place it, ie, not on a footprint in the vestibule? Regards , Wadi
Alright mate - you don't need the base with the bruler. The feet lift it amply so that's fine. It's just like a meths burner isn't it. This base was kindly gifted to me by a sub, it's a trekkers little helper by Hultafors 👍
Hope you don’t have to wait too long before you can afford the Hilleberg Nammatj Chris.Really looking forward to your future content with that tent.I have the GT version used mainly to hold my motorbike kit with the huge porch area.Expensive yes,but I don’t think I’d buy any other brand now.
I'm going to sell some of my older gear to fund it mate - so will chip away until I get there. I like the GT, but would like a smaller footprint just for my predominantly solo camps. Thank you for watching mate and ATB
Hi Chris, nice spot. I had high hopes to see another video of Scarp 1 Ultra, but it seems that you don't have it anymore. What were the cons of that tent?
The tent was sent to me to use by TarpTent but I had to send it one when I'd finished with it..... My mate Dan (Wild Camping Life.UK) on Instagram has it now. Cons are probably the pack size (unable to compress due to carbon corner poles), the fabric whilst strong, is succeptible to punctures so you need to take care, finally - the colour. For me, the standard Scarp is more than enough tent. Thanks for watching mate
i am very curious to why your returned you soulo BL have the same one and had the RL before and there is a couple things about my BL i find a bit weird the storm flap is a bit shorter for example
Thanks mate, I have the various proofing things, but I leave the cotton anoraks pretty much as is so they remain as breathable as possible. I've heavily waxed some Fjallräven gear and it's not much different to be fair.
A very nice video as always, and as a Norseman who really enjoys these videos, the change of scenery from the grassy peaks that is so prevalent from British youtubers, was a refreshing change. Don´t get me wrong, I love me a mountain camp video. The views and colours are often stunning, but it is always very nice to watch something new, especially now with those wonderful fall colours So thanks for bringing us along

Lets cheers mcm

Looks like a spectacular location Chris. I definitely agree, autumn is the best time of year. Guess I'll need to find somewhere else next weekend if the Kirkstone Pass is out of action 👍
Yeah, it's shut most of south end completely. Can't even get to the Inn. Thanks for watching mate!
The new location is a real find. That sunrise light, WOW. Thanks for the great vid. Sundays aren't the same without them!
Cracking night out Stu, thanks for watching

Thanks for the info Tom - I'll be opting for the standard as and when I'm in a position to take the plunge! Cheers for watching
Brilliant Chris. Looking forward to the Halloween video.
Thanks Graham, should be a good one!

Enjoyed that Chris. Great spot with a good mix of weather. TYFS 👍🏻
A great spot. Top views. Thanks for watching!
Great watch. Really enjoyed them wild conditions, the tent stood up well. It looked a chilled camp. I look forward to the next one 👍.
Glad you enjoyed it mate!

@darrenstoopybaker8127 nice one pal - tell him I said hi 👋
Stunning pitch there Chris. That is what it's all about. I love a camp that has it all. Wind, rain, sun, views!
Wish I lived nearer to the Lakes. I love the Peaks, but it's a stretch too far from the Midlands for a regular visit.
Yes, this definitely had it all. Thank you for watching mate
Great Camp and video Chris, brilliantly filmed and edited. Stunning location as well and man what a tent eh.
All the best.
Liam
Cheers Liam - top spot there. Thanks for watching - I love the Soulo - had one, in various forms since 2016. Happy days, ATB pal
Cracking pitch chris and a beautiful part of the lakes...I hate most people 😂so solitude on a camp is a dream cheers mate all the best 👍 😃🏕
Thanks Gaz, yep - the solitude is unbeatable! Thanks for watching mate!
Cracking video as always Chris. What stunning views! How many Hilleberg tents have you been working your way through now mate? Must be some kind of record 😃
Haha, cheers! I had my previous BL Soulo replaced. I hope to get a Nammatj too one day. Thank you for watching, was a great camp! ATB 🏕️
I guess I'm weird 'cause I love it too 😄 Winter snow camping is headed my way 🥶 I'll be doing a mixture of hot tent camping & roughing in in my Soulo BL. Great video. Cheers 🍻
Quality - sounds ace Ted! I need to get some woodland winter camping in too! Thanks for watching pal and I hope you get some great weather!
Enjoyed the video, looks a good spec where u camped
Glad you enjoyed it
That was a cracking video Chris. Spot on location in the end mate 😅 It was brilliant seeing the views on video. I’ll be watching this one a few times I think. Thanks mate👌👍

@@MCMOutdoors glad you enjoyed it Chris. Yep, very lucky, a 30 minute drive for me and a short walk and bang! Superb scenery.
@joehusband8479 one to cherish mate.

Good laughs on this one mate, thanks for the evening entertainment 🤣 yep, send a (collective noun) of Nammatj's
Many thanks 🙏 for the video, if you get the chance in the future in the Lake District go from sadgill to Mosedale cottage and onto shap thank you 🙏
Thanks for the tip mate 👍🏕️

you can get fjallraven wax for the G1000 fabric. makes it more waterproof and warmer. worth a punt.
I know mate. I've owned their stuff for years and have the wax. Thanks for watching 👍

Hi mate
i am very curious to why your returned you soulo BL have the same one and had the RL before and there is a couple things about my BL i find a bit weird the storm flap is a bit shorter for example
I'll be making a video on it so stay tuned
Chris, use nikwax cotton on the jacket buddy 👍
Thanks mate, I have the various proofing things, but I leave the cotton anoraks pretty much as is so they remain as breathable as possible. I've heavily waxed some Fjallräven gear and it's not much different to be fair.
