I think my legs ached more because it was the second day of walking, I'm so glad I'd done most of the walk on the first day. Planning more wild camps but hopefully I'll be a bit fitter now. Thanks for watching, hope you stick around. 🙂
1:53 The rocky lump behind you IS the summit of Yoke. The cairn you mention is also mentioned in the guide as having a better viewpoint, but its not the summit. There are plenty of places on the Wainwrights that are dotted with cairns usually to mark the path so its easier to find, especially in snow.
Oh ok. So that was the summit. I use the Wainwrights app, on my phone to mark them off, this one was showing I'd already passed it. To be honest , I'm not to precious about it, just as long as I'm not cheating myself.
@@susanrich6 Oh absolutely, I have the same approach in not being precious. My policy is to get to the highest point on the fell - which seems simple enough you'd think. There are a few notable fells where the Wainwright summit is a distinctly different point from the highest point eg Seathwaite Fell and Whinlatter but Yoke isn't like that. I've had an interesting discussion with someone recently about Tarn Crag near Grasmere. In this case Wainwright draws the summit in the guide and describes it clearly. He also mentions a cairn nearby, describing it as a good viewpoint. Its 3 metres lower. Apparently this other point is listed as the Wainwright on some official mountain list. This sounds rather like your Yoke situation, so I'm wondering if your app is using the mountain list. This sort of situation is why I stick to my "use the books and go to the highest point" rule !
@@timcrapnell4585 last week I did 5 more wainwright's and there was a distinct lack of summits. I thought, I'll have my lunch at the next one, turned out to be about 6 stones, never mind ill just head to the next for lunch.... it looked like muddy swamp! That vlog will follow soon. You'll see what I mean.
Bloody fantastic Sioux. I couldn’t do it, plus the fact that I need to pee at least 3 times in the night & couldn’t go without a cuppa in the morning & my ginger biscuits I’ll stick to the camper thanks Your a star ⭐️
@@lesavallantine614 well I knew I hadn't drunk enough when I could see flashing lights, migraine tablets were taken in the morning to enable me to get down off the hill.
Well done on your solo trek and camp. It's so nice to see someone taking their time rather than making out they are super human and racing around. i used to do a lot of overnight camps when i was younger in the Peak District.
@@spudman869 that temperature put my sleeping bag at its very limit, so I don't think there will be any more camps this year. Next vlog coming was another really lovely walk. 12 miles and no camp. Thanks for watching and commenting 🙂
@@ianelsworth5443 Thank you. My only issue with the pack, is when taking it off, I then have to get it back on again. I definitely think a water bladder would help as I was taking it off to switch my water bottles. Although too much information, the more water drunk the more wee's are needed, this also means I have to take off my pack. Its a catch 20, 2. I don't believe men have this problem 😕 lol.
YT suggested your channel to me and I am glad it did. Love listening to you as you are such a down to earth lady. Have subscribed and looking forward to your new vids. :) Yoke was my very first wild camping spot in the Lakes a few years ago. Those big rocks is the summit of Yoke. Just wondering where did you get water up there as I couldn't find any. This is a lovely area for walking..nice paths and such good views. Really enjoyed your vid, thanks for sharing :)
Thanks for subbing! I was desperate to find water at Froswick, looking on the OS map saw a water source on high street ' the roman road ' on the way to Mardale Ill Bell. This is in fact where I lost my planned route and had to double back to find a way up to High Street , the trig point. I had planned a route on a bridle path which was no where to be found, and it had begun to rain, which is why I also didn't film me finding the water. I do show me finding and filtering water in a coming vlog . 🙂❤️
@@DABOutdoors are you camping up at the top? As I said, there was plenty of people who just walked on past me. There was a fair few boggy places, enough to soak my boots, thank goodness for the seal skins. 🦭 🧦
Yeah looking at camping near Harter Fell, just depends on the weather. I might even end up in the bothy. That’s a pretty good achievement doing all of that for your first one, not easy at all when you’ve got all the gear to carry as well.
@@DABOutdoors I had completed 6 wainwright's already but that was a year ago, and I had help carrying the gear. I missed out harter fell as that was on my second day and I had taken migraine medication 💊 and just needed to get down. I don't mind though as it's an excuse to head back up... as if Zeb and I need a reason! I feel at such peace up on the tops. Too be honest even on the little Hallin Fell (vlog coming soon) , I could of stayed for hours. Hope you have fun, don't rush, enjoy the views and let me know if you stay in the bothy. 🙂
Absolutely loved this Sioux! I hope you do some more like this, it's about time you put some proper content on your own channel :) I've got you on bell now so I know when you have put something up. Haven't Wild camped in years, I do enjoy it though but have no gear at all anymore, last time I 'camped out' was in a car a couple of years ago,. p.s. how did you no melt to death with that many layers on in bed when it was 6.5 degrees, not minus 60 haha! Little Zeb is such a little baby, he's really cute :) you gonna sell the van now and just do this instead? Not. a change I could let my feet get licked haha, Zeb really is super cute in the morning in his red fleece and waterproof! Coming down is always the worst isn't it? Hope you're totally recovered by this point?
@@stuvlog thanks Stu, means a lot 🙂. Recovered now yes, took a few days, although just back from another little trip, not an over night. Haha, I woke in the night to my nose freezing 🥶 My hip is playing up a bit, so hope I actually manage to complete all these wainwright.
Haha, honestly at one point I really did think , I'd lost my mind, especially as I run out of water . Also my next warm van was parked at the bottom of the hill.
My legs always feel it on the way down too! Lovely video 🙂

Always trust a good dog 👌
@@Dazlad100. and he most definitely is a good dog. I saved him and he in turn has saved me.
Thanks for watching, editing the next one now. 🙂
@@susanrich6 you just earned a new subscriber 👍
Thanks, hope you enjoy. More crazy stuff planned soon.
A better walk than the pendal way, that you took me on 😊
Haha, oh I think I recall the walk, nearly killed your dog! Don't worry, our next planned route will be gentle.
Hi great job!!!!!!
@@Ericd-j9g Thank you. I have more to come, just have to edit it.
Well done 👍. Kentmere is a great walk. Your pack must have been a bit heavy, though you didn't seem to be struggling at all . ATB .

I don’t think I’ll need all those layers though hopefully!
