- A quick overnight camp above Haweswater at Rowantreethwaite Cairn , didn't have enough daylight hours to get up on to the ridges so just settled for a shorter and lower camp just off from the old corpse road.

That evening sky (and timelapse!) were fantastic! After a grey, cloudy day it always feels so good to see a wee bit of sun in the evening, that why I also like to camp high! Too bad the weather turned over night into even more cloudy - but then again, it's always good to be outside!
Thanks Yes I was just glad to be out in the hills enjoying the solice . TFW atb Dave..
Dave, a really cool looking camp spot and such a quiet and peaceful evening. You gotta love those mornings that turn out wilder than when you settled in the tent and you know you have to get up and sorted to leave camp ;-) Lovely stuff :-)
Cheers Gerry , its just get all you gear packed away that takes a while to sort lol atb Dave..
The background is wonderful to sleep overnight.
Yes lovely area for wild camping atb Dave.
Get on Dave. Great camp and spot mate. The stormin norman cone stove is a fantastic bit of kit 👌. Thanks for sharing Dave. Atb Sconja 👍
Cheesr Sconja , really pleased with the stove atb Dave....
Stunning views, captured well. I love my Akto, although I did once wish I had taken something bigger after 14 hours in it last January, it's a tough little tent though.
Cheers , yes they are pretty bomb proof although a little tight on space during the long winter nights .atb dave..
Great film Dave and what a contrast from the evening to the morning. No reply necessary. Cheers ⛺️
Top man! You always find great places to camp when your around Haweswater in fact that’s how I found you searching for Small Water video’s 👍 thanks again Dave for sharing
Cheers , Haweswater has so many great spots for camps and is slightly away from those honeypot hills everyone hits. So you usually have the place to yourself. TFW atb Dave...
@@BorderRambler yeh when me & Charlie was up there it felt wild, very remote. It's going to be our first camp again together come spring, finish off what we started :-)
Cracking camp mate, nice calm night but the wind found you again haha, I like the look of that stove, scenery was really nice on the way up, I could do with a foil mat like that,. I need to bring less beers and more goodies like you, looked cold mate in the morning, I'm behind on my RUclips watching, so late getting to the video, enjoyed watching 👍 ATB 👍
Thanks Gaz , really like the stove so light and efficient but my stove habit is getting out of control lol . 2 beers is my limit but just got a whisky flask for my birthday so that will be in use soon. Foil thermawrap mat from Toolstation £12 for 5 m roll . Hopefully get another camp in before new year ??
atb Dave...
Hiya dave. Nice little spot there. Shame the weather changed in the morning. I like the time laspes on the clouds. The reservoir ain't half filled up since I was there. Well done in challenging conditions.
Flat calm to windy that's the lake district for you...Well done 👍👍👍
Thanks for sharing ATB ALAN GREGORY ADVENTURES
Thanks Alan , yes the reservoir is nearly back to capacity now . two different days but its all experience in the bag . atb Dave.
Another great Smarthair production brave man camping this time of year. I need to get up that side of Haweswater still got Selside and Branstree to do.
Cheers Silvo, just a quick overnighter yesterday was lovely but you know the lakes , everyday is different .
Great views down there Dave.. and a nice location.. TFS.. love the night shots.. ATB from the ratchers :):)
Thanks R & D , would be nice to do in the snow mind . As you know it's an easy to get to location from the car . atb Dave ..
Good stuff marra, i would struggle once camp setup for night without a bit of company and piss tek out of each other puts night in. so admire anyone who does it bye themselves especially on long winter nights, tekcare jon
Jon letswalk cheers Jon , have only ever done solo camps so having company would be good crack and kill the time . That’s why I try for clear nights so I can get out and take night shots . TFW atb Dave ..
Enjoyed that Dave! Great location and the views across the Eden valley looked stunning. Shame you weren’t able to get more photography done due to the clag, but I thought the timelapses were brilliant and caught the atmosphere perfectly. Really missing the wild camping at the moment, it’s films like this that give me a fix, and keep me going! 👍 Cheers Anthony 👍
Thanks Anthony , I was hoping for a clearer night but you just have to make the best of what you are given. I thought things looked good across the eden valley side , I imagine the mist was following the river edens path. Atb Dave..
Brilliant vid Dave and awesome location. Shame about the clag though eh? I see the reservoir is filling up canny. With regards to the slippage on the mat can you not construct some straps like the thermarest sleep bags have on them? They work really well and are detachable too. Anyways cheers for sharing. take care, Steve
Thanks Steve , reservoir certainly has filled back up since the summer . quite happy how the foam strips worked but need a few more trips to out testing lol . TFW atb Dave..
The 'calm before the storm' as they say Dave. Funny that a Stormin Stove for a stormin morning. It was to good to be true. Good test for the new cooking system though. How did it go for the morning brew? Alright I guess. All the best. Mark
Very pleased with the storming cone , light and easy to operate with my myti mug , but no more stoves honestly ... my shelf is about to collapse lol atb for xmas Mark
@@BorderRambler Ha ha - you've been experimenting then Dave. Moving towards a system that works no doubt. Peace!
great outing pal, that was a pretty lake at the beginning of the video.
Cheers and thanks for watching atb Dave...
Looks a nice spot there Dave..parked at mardale head a few times for camps up that area,did high street back in the summer & small water a year or so back.great views out over haweswater from there but pity bout the clag coming in & robbing you of the sunrise,looked rough too..What do you reckon to the stormin cone,im looking at having one of those for summer to lighten my summer gear up & it looks just the job.tfs mate & atb for xmas & new year..Andy.
Cheers Andrew , yeah this is an easy to reach sort of camp when daylight is running out , but still a decent enough area . The clag is giving my a rough time at the mo lol . Very pleased with the little stormin cone works well with the alpkit mug . TFW atb for xmas and new year . Dave
Cracking video Dave. I see you picked up a Stormin Cone then. What do you reckon? The design looks to have changed a bit from my version. I've not camped at Haweswater yet. The views are epic and it's not a tough walk in. Thanks for sharing
Cone works really well Paul and as you know very light , yes that side was an easy walk I was struggling for time so just a short walk but still gives the views. ATB Dave..
It was possibly you that inspired the purchase Paul. He certainly got a good test for it.
Great video, looked a good camp we love that area ATB Leona and Chris
Leona & Chris Pye thanks , it such nice area 👍🏻 that’s my 3rd camp around there now atb for Xmas and new year . Dave
Spot on mate. Haweswater is one of my favourites. It’s got everything in my opinion. I usually put my matt inside the doss bag to stop it slipping. The foil insulation is great I’ve made pot cosys and a pouch to place boil in the bags in once they are hot, stay hot for ages.
Cracking video Dave I love going there in autum because of rutting season.....you can hear the deer calling to the females. Loved the time lapses....what camera do you use.
Atb..........Mick
Sounds like I need to do an autumn camp then ... I use a gopro hero 5 and I have a Sony A7 and a little Sony compact HX60V which both have the timelapse app on it . Thanks .....Dave .
Good idea about the foam strips to keep your mat in place. It won’t add significantly to the insulation though. The conductive rating is R 0.1 so almost zero. If it was near your skin the silver radiates your body heat back to you but under a well nsulated mat it won’t be able to do that. But great for fixing it to a spot.
Thanks Peter , I always struggle in winter (too skinny) to keep warm but I have found a decent R rate mate coupled with my -12 rated quilt keeps me warmer these days . The wind blowing around the tent certainly dips those temps too 🥶
It was a fine day on Monday for it.(I was out as well ,video to follow lol).No wind made all the difference from your last visit up that way..even up on the tops it was mild. I need to get down there for a wander sometime. That thicker foil will have come in very handy overnight.did you cut it to size? Mustve been a fair long old night with it getting dark at 4.Unforrunate to wake up to a bit of drizzle int morning though but still you had a good night out on the fells.ATB Mark.
Cheers Mark , I was hoping to get out before lunch and get higher up , but had loads to do in the morning and yes it was very mild on the monday but that wind the next day made it bitterly cold when i got up. Yes I just cut the foil to size £12 for a 5 metre roll (Toolstation). I just watched YT vids to kill time at night but I prefer the summer nights when you can sit out till 10pm . TFW atb Dave..
At least you got out while the going was good.aye that foil is really lightweight,even the thicker stuff ,im sure Lidl had some in 😆..i wanted to do overnighter in bothy on mon but i was on earlies the following day😕 although have plans right after xmas(weather permitting) for a bothy trip in kielder forest
@@markredfox73 Sounds good keep me posted I could fancy that if im on the right shifts also , that work thing is always in the way eh lol . I have never done a bothy before thats if you dont mind me tagging along like ..
Aye be spot on that i know ive a 4 day stint off after xmas day and also start of new year too so a scope for an overnighter.. just coal and kindling maybe required to cart but got places in mind.
Your weather was like mine a few weeks ago only opposite way round a nice walk up with good views, What pot are you using with the stormin cone? I have one for my alpkit 750 but you have to be careful as the pot will fall thru the top. looks like you have double guys on the centre pole I use to do that on my akto when I had mine. Thanks for sharing ATB Steve.
Thanks Steve, yes I remember watching it . I have the 650 myti mug and it fits perfectly . Not sure about double guys its just how I bought it lol . atb Dave... ps thanks for the sub.
@@BorderRambler sorry my mistake just looked again I thought I had seen double guys on the middle pole but it's not, I use to put extra guys on my akto on the centre pole adds a bit more stability for the high winds.....
@@Dartmoorwonderer I might need to as its gets very windy up on the lakes summits.
hi good video what sleeping bag is that the pipedream
Hi TFW , yes its alpkit pipedream 400 atb Dave..
I have the 200 very good sleeping bag looking for new tent 4 season .. watched your video lots of wind
Bikepacking the wind seems to follow me 😂
I thinking this tent inside don't flap ruclips.net/video/0mQ1LaY707o/видео.html
beautiful.
Many thanks for watching atb Dave..
Thanks for video, where did u get that foil sheet please sounds a good idea
I got it from Toolstation £12.57 www.toolstation.com/shop/Construction+%26+Insulation/d210/Foil/sd3426/YBS+General+Purpose+ThermaWrap+Insulation/p16779 but most DIY stores keep it and I just cut it to suits my needs. TFW atb Dave
@@BorderRambler Thanks but I actually meant the neoprene stuff..do u stuck something on the foil to grip ur mat? Cheers
@@theparsonsnose2760 ah sorry that was just some cheap self adhesive neoprene foam tape I got off ebay about 3 or 4 pound . I just stuck about 4 strips down and it seems to have stopped the mat sliding about :-)
@@BorderRambler thank you!
What foam did you put on the foil? I use some anti slip stuff you put under mats at home, which works okish
Just a cheap roll of neoprene self adhesive foam tape off ebay , it worked a treat for me. Couldnt stand another night chasing my mat about the tent lol atb Dave..
you can always rely on Hilleberg tents!
In wild weather it’s the one to rely upon ⛺️👍🏻 atb Dave
Some nice filming and camp but bloody hell yer moaned all way through this video.
Thanks yeah the wife says I moan a lot too 😂 atb Dave
Oh dear, hence the escapism of wild camping 🏕
😂🤪😂
