Great video, keep on camping 🙏🏻👍👊🏻❤️
Cracking video Andy , really enjoyed that one , very familiar ground for me ,i live just outside Caldbeck .The gulley off Sharp edge is known by Keswick mountain rescue as Usual gulley due to the high number of accidents involving folk falling down it of top of Sharp edge .
love the tent and new bag .Your right about the history of the old mines in this area , they mined something called Wolfram round the Caldbeck , High pike area .amongst other stuff . Did you know a Ghost army from Napoleanic times has been sighted close by on Souther fell , apparently several people whitnessed it over more than 1 night , several hundred men , horses , carriges etc.... look out for it next time !
Did Cumbria Way North to South last summer. Definately a good way to do I think. The anticipation of the lakes proper gets you through the Carlisle to Calbeck section as you rightly said...
Excellent video ..a super hike to the tent pitch, beautiful views..Glad you enjoyed your new tent and look forward to seeing you have further adventures with it. Also hope to see you have a few van trips. Best wishes.
Nice one Andy - I decided to treat myself to the XMID 1 solid as a pressie to myself for my 50th, I couldn't justify the dyneema version as I don't get out as much I would need to for that one, plus if I really wanted to save a kilo or 2 it would be far easier to shift from my middle aged belly !!! Hope you get some good camps in with it
Cracking trip Andy, looked like a great spot to pitch👌
New wig wams very impressive 😂👍 I can confirm they’re good for a beating, just had a weekend in my x-mid 2 round Kentmere in 40 plus gusts,rain,snow…she’s still standing mate😂 thank god for stone walls though!
Thanks for sharing, stay safe👍
Very envious of that new Rab bag - so light! Smart new tent too. Thanks for uploading, Andy. 🇬🇧🏔👍
Fab vid Andy! Thanks for all your insights on the Durston’s. I’m excited for its arrival into my camping adventures. That sleeping bag weighs half the weight of mine! Summat else to look at ya bleeder 😂ATB, Sarah
That tent and sleeping bag looks fantastic, great ultralight setup, great for many long distance hikes. Spring once the clocks go forward I look forward to, well sick of the rain and constant wind we've had. ❤
I have never watched any of your vids before Andrew but out of curiosity subbed. Highly enjoyable start to finish, very enjoyable and informative. You really have got your kit down to a minimum, like you say if thats all you do and enjoy why not treat yourself. How did you find the condensation from your new shelter, that's allways a concern of mine after selling my Soulo, used to wake up to it absolutely dripping, no matter what I did. Just an idea, would it be possible for you to do a breakdown of the kit you use, we could all take some ideas from that on how to get our base weight down. Looking forward to the next one. Cheers Rob 35:01
Really enjoyed that one, Andy. Cracking spot for a pitch and I know what you mean about exploring undiscoved corners on familiar ground. Really fascinating and you come across a lot that way, especially the history of an area. The descent path off the Tongue is pretty brutal - a slippery, eroded path through gorse - not much fun!
Great route round the back of Sharp edge, Andy. Enjoyed that. Nice one. ATB
Unbelievable view of Sharp Edge you got from across the valley with the mist behind it making it stand out in sharp detail. I have to think whoever gave it its name must've had that very view.
The new set up looks great Andy, pitch looked a good one too⛺️👌, fairly good conditions considering the weather we’ve had lately, spot on, atb Mick 👍
Thumbs up Andrew, tent looks great. I've got the 2p solid version which is great. I'm doing the Cumbria Way in April South to North although you got me thinking now!! Great video take care pal.
Enjoyed that yan on a favourite fell of mine. Pretty sure the gully you spied is Foule Crag Gully - it’s ticked in my winter climbing guide from years ago and is grade 1. I’d be surprised if it’s in condition these days. I also believe it’s referred to as the ‘usual gully’ by Keswick MRT as many folk have come off Sharp Edge into it. Tek care.
Looking forward to getting out in mine! Great spot that Andy and the tent looked the business 👌
Great adventure in beautiful landscapes. The Tent looks really good ❤
Thanks Andy, enjoyed that video very much 😊
Really enjoyed this one mate 👊🏼 shelter looks class. My Durston is my Favourite tbf. Made up for you with the Atom Packs news 📰 well deserved brother. Keep up the good work 👊🏼
Getting the weight down there, I really like those hills over the back of Blencathra. Tfs David
Great as usual. Camped Scales tarn twice and now happy to follow your footsteps. Can't get another tent though....
Cracking video lad.. lovely friendly accessible area.. I do similar and I look for routes up hills that are probably seldom climbed, divent fancy the look of that Sharp edge gully tho haha.. Tek care :)
Nice video Andrew. Great spot! I was looking at that Rab bag as well .
Nicely done Andy, enjoyable watch and love all the info given about the area and route's 👍
Fantastic video as usual Andrew
That's a great-looking setup and a beautiful location...Only 900 grams too? Perfect!
That view of Foul crag, and that gully. Definitely make me want to get there in a good winter for sure !!!
The next lightweight bag will incorporate ENC tech - ultra lightweight an’ all - Emperor’s New Clothes! 😂 Joking apart, it’s amazing how good kit has shed the weight over the past few years. 🖐🏻🏴
Cracking vid Andy, great spot and great looking lightweight shelter 👍🏼
Nice hike, nice video and nice tent 😊
Another great video mate . Tent looks great
Great spot 👌 think I might take a look up there next month 👍. Seriously envious of the light weight set up 😊
Nice video Andy, liking the new tent. 🏕️
carcking vid Andy love van mate what mint route done that few years back love new tent and kit tfs atb Bryan 🙂👌
We did that route and in the little beck at the bottom of the valley we saw a kingfisher believe it or not!
Hi Andy! I asked you about your accent a while ago. Little by little, now I can understand about 40 per cent of what you say. Was 0. 😂
Keep it up, greetings from Minsk, Belarus! Cheers
Mike
Hi Andrew, another great camping video, ill b going solo camping one day next week, i live in Swansea,, going down Falls bay, in Roshilly gower. Also i do Astrophotography while I do my camping. Catch you on the next one 🏕️
Nice one Andy you have just managed to make my wish list a little bit longer ! some serious kit that cant believe the space for the weight and the price is nothing to sniff at ! looking forward to seeing more from you in this especially in a bit of weather :D ATB Luke
Another great vid mate .Got me even more stoked about my upcoming Cumbria Way trip😀
Looks a cracking setup.
Another great looking camp Andy
Setup amazing man with a plan 😊
Great video 👍
Awesome video. Quite sad that you've sold the Trailstar (and inner). Was it the fact you just wanted a change or what things did you not like about the trailstar?
Another belter Andy but sickened me when I saw how light that tent and sleeping bag were. I thought I had lightweight gear but my sleeping bag is the same as those two together. Bugger! 😊
Can you tell me what is the bottle holder on your rucksack?
Cheers.
Great set up, hats off to you, other than the weight how to you find the pro?
Do you find it a lot different from the non pro (other than the weight) ?
Looks a cracking spot underneath sharp edge definitely on my list.how was the tent for condensation
How did the pro do with condensation then Andy ?????, nice little video as well .
condensation although a bit was no problem..ive had tents that are far worse then the pro 1 thats for sure..
thanks for an entertaining video. i would love to hear your thought on your rab mythic alpine jacket. are you happy with it? have you had it for long? and how is the 10d outer holding up? kind regards from Sweden!
its a great jacket tbh..had it around 18 month & really happy with it..the outer does feel flimsy but thats where the weight saving comes in..just have to be vigilant what youre around re catching it on something & ripping..
Great Vid but needs sub titles 😂
Would u recommend the durstom x mid range for lightweight multi day camping
👋🏻
Nice tent,but expensive..... :(
Found it
sounds like it was seriously boggy underfoot. at least you had most of it to yourself.
Always treat yourself - you're a long time dead.
It’s just an expensive Lanshan 2 pro! Save ya money!
I agree, have just bought a Lanshan 2 Pro myself. The Durston will be slightly better material and weight wise, but at twice the price? Obviously it's personal opinion, and if you want to fork out for that slight difference, but for me I couldn't justify it?
Can tell youse don’t know much about quality gear. Come back to me in a year once you have rigorously tested your lanshan in high winds. Because I have and don’t get me wrong it’s very stable and won’t fail for a while but give it a year and seams will come loose zipper breaks. Perfect tent if you’re not in bad weather but the quality and the design of durston basically in a nutshell shits on a lanshan
I admit that I am by no means a professional when it comes to wild camping but I do no a bit Lewis. My Lanshan 2 pro is purely for summer use, I have no intention of pitching it in high winds, I always check the weather before heading out. For any dodgy conditions I have my Hilleberg four season tent and when you're on a budget you sometimes have to settle for the next best thing. Which is what my point was!
Do your Homework and Check what is dyneema 😉
not even close lol, noobs talking😂
Like the tent Andy.
I wont be needing the OS map anymore up there seein as you give such a detetailed description of the routes just need to watch you 😄
Cheers for another great video. 👍
Another crackin' outing Andy. I'm a big fan of the Northern Fells, you usually get peace and tranquility up there. I have bagged Bannerdale Crags but I fancy going up that ridge next time as that looks like the most interesting way up. The water bottle attachment you have on the front of your backpack, can yer remember what make it is please?
Cheers and Atb Andy H
