FREEZING Winter Wild Camp in the Snow - Lake District Solo Winter Summit Camp

- Solo mountain camp in my Hilleberg Soulo.
Heading out from Dunmail Raise and following the path up the side of Raise Beck to Grisedale Tarn. My ascent continued to Grisedale Hause before the steep pull to the summit of Seat Sandal at 2414ft (736m). I pitched my Hilleberg Soulo in a sheltered area of snow just below the summit.
Thanks for watching. Hope you enjoyed it.
Drone used is the DJI Mini 2.
All the best - Dave

well done. March is gonna be lovely. This coming weekend has 'hills' written all over it.
Toast ,coffee and laid up putting a dint in the couch after night turn.
You've captured the essence up there Dave,with the sound of the wind and all.
Great 'Brew with a view '.
Stunning,it makes me want to get back up there asap.
ATB Dave.
Michael 😊👍
Much appreciated Michael 👍
Sorry to hear that life is still difficult. I imagine making the videos at least allows you some sort of escape for a while. Keep smiling Dave 😃
Cheers Paul 🙏🏻
Missed my Feb camp, the last decent weekend was down in London at my daughter's, soooo. Start again. Ah well. TFS David
Really appreciate watching you , thankyou for showing us sublime drone footage.Ive never been to that tarn but it's now on my endless list as I'm a beginner etc .Thanks again and take care,
Fantastic video as always, fantastic drone footage, snow capped mountains, beautiful 👍👍
Big thanks guys 🙏🏻
Outstanding video Dave! Regular spots doesn't appear on Dave's map, but it shows the adventure spots. Next time when you camp on Seat Sandal, wear some sandals instead of hiking boots. I'm only joking with you. There's always time for a brew with a view. Gorgeous waterfall. Thanks for sharing, take care, Jordan.
Haha. Much appreciated Jordan. Glad you enjoyed it and ATB 👍
Love the Music you choose for your videos!!for me the best RUclips outdoor channel!💯💯
Thank you Angelo🙏🏻It’s really important to me too. Glad you enjoyed it 👍
Another great video and more importantly a good night's chill for you. Look after yourself. ATB.
another great video dave, looking forward to your next one, always good to get out and blow them cobwebs of daily life away
Nice vid again Dave. Good to see you got your Feb camp done. Hope things get better for you.,🤞
Well done on the 2 for 2 so far & looking forwards to your March adventures. Hope whatever crap you’re dealing with gets sorted soon.
Stunning as usual Dave getting better and better must admit you're starting to blend into the background as I have for a long time 🤣🤣keep your pecker up pal your doing a good job soon hit that million 👍
Haha. Nice one Bert 😁👍
Dave sorry to life is still difficult but I can assure you mate your an inspiration to us all watching your videos barry
🙏🏻
Another awesome video buddy 👌👍 I hadn't realised you were doing a mountain camp a month for a year, that'll be some achievement, don't think I'll be far off that myself 🤔 great views, and there is definitely something to be said for winter camping 😍 although o won't miss the mud in summer 🤣 life is tough pal, mother nature and camping is always there to take our minds off things, stay strong pal, and keep up.the awesome work, atb Paul 🙏🏕️🏕️🏕️😁
Cheers Paul👍. Some months I’ve done more than one camp but the objective was to have a camp in every consecutive calendar month for as long as I could. ATB - Dave.
1:02 RN Merlin I think. You get quite a bit of low level aircraft through there. I used to sit up there days on end photographing them, either the valley sides of dunmail raise or up get up onto helm crag, take the tent and stop on top the night ready for day 2. Just a shame we don’t have the aircraft numbers these days, it’s quietened down a lot.
Hi Dave, You don't need that dubbed wind effect, your camps are epic enough without it ( reminds me of Erik Normak's videos and his added crow noise ) :-) Seriously though great stuff and look forward to your Cairngorm adventures, keep smiling and camping, the only way is up! A
Haha. For me it’s all about setting the mood and the emotion in my videos. I do this with the music but unfortunately (unlike our Erik) my equipment isn’t good enough to capture the true sound of the wind and it just becomes an annoying noise. I’m certainly not adding things that aren’t already there, but just better conveying the atmosphere. Cheers bud 🙏🏻
Great winter trip that one Dave, good viewing as usual 👍🏻 appreciate you taking us along mate
Just wanted to say,people like you,and mr mesner,hazy,fellow on the fells,you are all inspiring me,at 57,to take an interest with
wild camping and hiking,not got around to doing it it yet ,but i hope to soon,been buying bits of equipment bit by bit.
I love your videos,very atmospheric with the music you add ,this one was particular beautiful with the drone/music footage.
best wishes Dave,you're a good lad.I hope everything picks up for you asap mate.
thanks for the many hours and videos you've uploaded.
Really appreciate that Russell 🙏🏻. I’ve a long way to go to reach the heights of PM and Hazy. Both great at what they do. ATB - Dave
Another great video , lovely views too - shame the cloud encroached.
Great video Dave .camped on seat sandal 4 weeks ago loved it not as snowy as your camp it’s a top view on it and the waterfalls on the way down are beautiful I think not a lot of people know it top man keep smiling your an inspiration to many great advise too 👍
Echo what's been said. Sorry things aren't great but try to remember that everything comes in waves and phases so just ride it out and keep doing the things you love. You are in complete control of how you react to the s**t. Take strength from that. Looked a nice, uneventful but scenic camp. Just what's needed 😊
Stay safe and well.
Adge.
yeah ,I'm saving this for later Dave , something good to watch tonight on nightshift .. ssshhhh Don't tell the boss 🙏 🏴
Haha. Nice one Artur. Enjoy 🤫😁👍
Great video Dave, always a joy to watch. All the very best from Llanelli, south Wales.
Life can be shitty, often when you least expect it. Hopefully things will improve.
As others have said, sorry to hear you're going through bad times, keep your chin up my mate, and before you know it you'll come out the other side. Excellent video as always, you're one of, if not the best. Sending hugs 🤗
🙏🏻
Thanks for posting Dave, much appreciated. Also sorry to hear that life is tough for you atm. You seem a good guy so I hope you get things sorted soon. Take care of yourself.
Big thanks 🙏🏻
I love that path up from the road, and where it can take you 😊 Good luck with the crap of life mate.
Pleased you got your camp in Dave👍🏻 Some stunning drone shots mate. Brilliantly filmed as always. Hope whatever’s going on gets ironed out soon, looking forward to the next one. Thanks mate, Mark
Wow! What an absolutely beautiful spot for a real proper brew with a view 👌 That drone footage was spectacular, I was trying to pinpoint as many peaks as I could. St Sunday Crag looked awesome, another one to add to my long list 😀 your videos just get better and better Dave, and I sincerely hope things get better and better for you too this year, you really deserve it . Thank you for sharing another amazing adventure ❤
Sending so much respect and support mate, love your videos. Been watching from the very beginning and always marvel at your work.....thank you 🙌❤️✅👏👍😃
Really appreciate that Max 🙏🏻
Brilliant as always. The tarn shots looked like pen and ink drawings. I remember telling my wife we would take the easy/quick way up there. A bitter steeper than I anticipated! Whoops! 😂
Lovely drone shots but definitely looked chilly up there
Great video, and hope things improve for you
Hope things improve for you soon. Amazing drone shots, great video as usual.
Glad you got the Feb camp done Dave , it looked pretty special up there . And you found a neat little sheltered spot but those winds are brutal on the finger ends . Stick in pal atb Dave ⛺️👍
Thanks for that Dave & especially for all the work you put into your Vids hiking back & forth to pick up the camera and tripod enabling us to get a better view! The Drone footage was also awesome with amazing views! Glad that you enjoyed it too and getting a deseved breather! Take care & look after youself! ⛺️👣🦉☃️🎮👍😎
Ace ... i carry my 'plastic mat' everywhere mate ... just in case we meet and you can sign it.
Haha. Broke my table. Gutted 😩
Brilliant again Dave. Remember always available for a chat if needed. Great to see you out there. As Andy Beevers says, ‘Top Bloke you are.’ You’ll get through the crap eventually. Try not to get bitter even if you’ve been wronged. Remember all the good you’re doing ,for us, your tribe! Been on the mountains most of my life, but it’s down to your great videos that I’m a wild camper. ATB MATE
Really appreciate that UP 🙏🏻
Another cracking video, that wind whistling around made me feel so cold mind you I am a wimp. 👍
Great film as always 👍
Another fab vlog. Love it. There on Friday for a week - super stoked. First of three visits this year. Will then Be back in May taking part in the Cumbria challenge for the vets. Don’t let the doorstep stuff consume you. You will get through it - some of your camping conditions prove you have the fortitude to endure tough conditions. Stay strong fella. We are all behind you. Solo Summiteers. How’s the hand - looks better? Can wait till you get the drone up in these conditions. I often do Seat as a quick walk when I arrive up from the South Coast. 0500 start on Friday for me 😆
Nice one Colin and big thanks for that🙏🏻. The hand is doing okay but unfortunately my little finger is starting to curl again due to the scar tissue in the palm of my hand. Not much I can do about it really so I’ve just got to get on with it. More stormy seas ahead in my personal life but The Solo Summiteer is just about keeping me going too. Good luck with your trip and ATB - Dave
Great video Dave, wild camped same spot as you mate perfect place to get out of the wind.
Great vid - you’re looking really well mate 🙏
Hi Dave, I was supposed to be out on that same night on that same fell. I didn’t end up making it. Gutted. I planned on a camp a month. Managed Jan so far because of weather and work 😂😩 but I am hoping to be out at the weekend.
Just have to say, Your videos are excellent mate, always have been but I feel like your recent ones have gone to another level. The drone footage and certain shots really add something. Along with the music choices. Absolute quality.
Sorry to hear things are still tough Dave… stay strong mate. 💪🏼 Take care mate.
ATB, Craig.
Big thanks Craig 🙏🏻
Great adventure again dave. Best wishes for the future ,hopefully each day will get better and easier for you
🙏🏻
I've done the same since lockdown ended, a camp a month minimum, great video 😁👍👌
Nice one Chris 😎⛺️👍Some months I’ve done more than one camp myself but that wasn’t part of this challenge. Had to be a camp in every calendar month 👍
Forgot to mention at one point you said “ I’m not gonna mention the wind , coz there isn’t any so I won’t mention it “ 🤣🤣
Haha. It was my feeble attempt at a joke, Kenny 😁👍
Cracking camp that wind noise makes it sound 10⁰ colder lol.down pants are amazing there so warm
Cheers Craig. Love them pants. A game changer 😎👍
Excellent as always Dave, added bonus a view over Grasmere and the lake. A favourite family holiday destination for many years. Looking forward to your next adventure, keep ‘em coming 👍👍👍👏👏.
Many thanks Dave 🙏🏻. ATB 👍
I hope life gets a little bit easier for you soon brother, but whatever is happening, doing this will help you so much!
🙏🏻
Stay strong Dave we’re all behind you pal❤️❤️
🙏🏻
Another great vid mate 😊
Got no idea whats happened in your life recently, but i do hope things improve for you Dave. I’m itching to get out again but just got too much going on at mo with work and family ties, looks like April now before i get out again, at least i can watch your vids pal👍
Great video Dave sorry to hear you are going through some bad times my life got turned upside down 18 months ago and your videos really help me go to another place if only for a short time. As someone else said they just keep on getting better. Till the next one 🙏🙏
🙏🏻
Great video mate, appreciate the effort you put in 👍
Hope all is well Dave, great spot here. The videos are some of the best wild camping ones I’ve watched so look forward to the next one.
A top one as always Dave. I’ve not been out since January thanks to the crap weather…this weekend fingers crossed!
Cheers Simon 🙏🏻Good luck bud 👍
Well done Dave. thanks for another cracking video film. Life can be hard but getting out to the hills is always good for the sole. best wishes Gavin (ps I started doing the same camping once a month then Covid stopped it so back on it again this year) wish me luck.
Nice one Gavin and best of luck with it 😎💪⛺️
Seat Sandal is a cracking hill with some stunning views, relatively quiet.
Hi Dave, thanks for taking us along, that was a raw one, I have to smile when you say I've just finished work, so I'll go on a slog up a Mountain! I walked 20 miles yesterday but only on the flat around the Essex coast! I'm thinking of trying Helvellyn this year but only when the weather is a little kinder. Take care, as you have said, one slip and its all over, I'm sure safely is in the back of your mind all the time🙂
Cheers Alex. Yeah definitely. Safety is always in the forefront of my mind, especially when sharing my trips with others. I don’t want people to think I don’t take it seriously. ATB Dave
Fantastic shots! I can't get enough of those Lakeland mountains in the snow. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Dave great to see you again great camp site, you are keeping it going getting out and about, the filming was a bit less in this one.
i know how it gets tedious keeping it all up, but we still loved joining you on this adventure, stay safe buddy see you soon, michael & Kim
Thanks SS!
I knew where you was Dave, that was my very 1st Assent and introduction to the Lakeland Fells back in 1999.. from then on I was bitten.. I came up a different way from the pub on the dunmail raise... the travelers rest, parked there and had a pint and sandwich later.....fantastic drone footage too.. i saw in the distance Easdale tarn / far Easdale ! always look forward to your trips to the Lakes.. brilliant, keep them coming ATB Kenny 👏
That’s awesome Kenny🙏🏻. I love it when my videos bring back fond memories for others, and love hearing about it too. Take care bud 😎👍
Hi Dave, top vlog as ever, your honesty shines through. I'm a 62 year old git now and recently survived the big C, hopefully, maybe. It's changed my relationship with the mountains after a lifetime enjoying them. I am now grateful to be out in them whatever the season or weather and a low level camp is just as enjoyable as a high level one - just saying! Cheers....Tony
That’s awesome Tony 😎💪🙏🏻
Tremendous video again Dave, your looking younger every time I watch your videos, getting out must be the reason, your an inspirational person mate, take care Dave 👍😁
Big thanks and much appreciated 🙏🏻. Glad you enjoyed it 👍. ATB Dave
Another great video Dave . I pitched up on Seat Sandal myself last summer , it's a lovely spot , stunning views with amazing sunsets . Had a few "watch the tent" moments during the night from people doing the Bob Graham which I remember made me smile while i was all tucked up in my sleeping bag . Keep doing what you're doing Dave and take it easy bud . ATB Neil .
Cheers Neil 😎👍. Haha. Yeah, wouldn’t want one of those guys bringing your tent down 😁⛺️🥴. ATB Dave
Love your camping vids mate, keep on camping⛺️
Enjoyable as ever Dave , all the best to you mate 👍
Thanks Dave for another great video. Thanks for taking the time to film it. Much appreciated!! Where did you get the shoulder strap water bottle holder? I don't think that comes with the backpack. Cheers. Keep em coming!!
Big thanks🙏🏻. It’s a Mammut bottle holder. Picked it up in an outdoor shop 👍
Great video as usual Dave. That looked like a cracking pitch. ATB mate.
Big thanks Graeham 🙏🏻
I appreciated your sensible discussion of steps to have a challenging but also safe climb in the UK winter. You got a fantastic winter experience that you could enjoy because you put in that preparation time. 👏 I think it is terrific to be able to say as you did that you got in your February camp despite the troubles you currently have - congratulations on that real achievement. 💪And thx for getting in the leave no trace. Keep posting.
Big thanks and much appreciated 🙏🏻
First class stuff, as usual. You planning something epic for number 12? Looking forward to the videos.
Also, pavement wise, it's just one foot in front of the other eh? One Love.
Absolutely beautiful spot, Dave. Good man for getting out and continuing on with your goal. Great stuff.
Great video's mate, keep them coming! 👍 keep positive and keep doing what you do buddy 🤜🤛
Fantastic video Dave and some amazing drone footage and scenery. Hope you get everything else sorted out. Your videos and adventures are so inspirational, look forward to the next one. Take care and all the best!
Those views were stunning going up. Hope whatever you’ve got going on resolves itself mate. Well done for getting your feb camp in there too.👍🏻
🙏🏻
Good effort brother getting that one in last minute it was hard work Feb some awful conditions....first thing i noticed your looking well mate refreshed 👌 had to laugh about the fingers and the drone i know that feeling well 😂 bit dissapointed you didn't take us for a breakfast in Ambleside though 😁 Helvellyn footage drops at 6pm you might want to check the description 😉🙏
Cheers Rob. Aye hands and fingers take a battering in winter 🥶. Haha. I’m not filming me eating breakfast. It gets messy 😁. Look forward to your video man, can’t wait 🙏🏻
Cracking trip, Dave! Never been up there - several around it but never the Seat! The drone footage was something else - gives a totally different feel to the adventure! Really enjoyed it :) Ian
Another great video mate, some superb shots with the drone! Sorry to hear you are going through a tough time, hope things turn round for you soon! Take care, Ross
Solo Summiteer takes us all away from our troubles too Dave and long may it continue after the troubles have passed. Noticed you have cold fingers flying drone ! A tip, why don't you sit in your soulo and fly from there inside mice n cosy :) ...and for that tip lol can you tell me the brand n name of those super orange boots you have cause I'm in the market 🍊🍊 for something tough, flashy but understated lol
Haha. Big thanks Merky. It’s funny you should say that cause I was flying it from inside the tent on my next video. The boots are Scarpa Charmoz. Ace boots. I like flashy and don’t do understated 😁. Have you not seen my tent 😎 😁👍. ATB bud 🙏🏻
@@TheSoloSummiteer where lol what tent ;)
Another brilliant video. Stunning scenery, thanks for sharing it.
Absolutely loved that, Dave! Well done, you! I would be petrified to wild camp in those conditions, so all power to you. At 58 years I'm a bit of a novice wild camper, but I'm inspired to get out more by the likes of your good self. Big thank you, and all the very best.🏕
Really appreciate that Mark 🙏🏻
Great vid.
You shot down the mountain fast, bet that breakfast was enjoyable!
Great spot to pitch mate, the detail of the mountains what the drone caught were amazing! Loving your channel it inspires us all to get out there more, look forward to your next adventure 🏔👍
I’ll be watching this later Dave with my brew watching your view keep it up mate love the contents
Big thanks Trev👍
Great video as always. Grizedale tarn was my first mountain camp last year.
Loved it no wind and no clouds.
The moon was so bright I walked to the summit of helvellyn at 11pm I was hooked after that ....keep the videos coming I love them .
Wow. Sounds magical 😎🙏🏻
no way, when did you do this? i was up there 3 days ago and there wasnt any snow on seat sandal, plenty up fairfield though, its crazy your literally down the road from me when you do these central lake camps, need to give me a shout pal :)
Great stuff again Dave. Drone shots are looking sweet. . . . Cant all be super sunsets and the like, its reality, and we like reality! Keep it up. AT LAST I've a date in 2 weeks to camp, and a Saturday this weekend, at last I can make a film again. . . Im getting inspired to do a camp a month some time too!!. We shall see! God bless and keep smiling 👌.
Big thanks John a good luck with your trip 😎🏔👍
Great stuff Dave 👏
Yessssiiiiiiii Mr Solo Summiteer Pussycat. Firstly, sorry that life is still been a pain in the bottom for you, you know where I ever am for a chat. My inbox is ALWAYS open 💚 chin up bud.
Regards to the video, amazing as always. Now you can edit a video! Love it. Fantastic knowledge, fantastic enthusiasm & your genuinely passionate & kind nature shining through. Thanks for sharing big dog! Hold tight. Yessiiiiii mr pussycat
Big thanks buddy 🙏🏻
As always a tremendous video. I look forward to a few more adventures of my own once this injury is resolved!
Nice one Kelvin. Get well soon 👍
Amazing video, just subscribed, very impressive 👍😀
I really do hope things do get better for you soon, fantastic video and what a stunning wild camp ⛺️ those views are amazing
Big thanks Ravenna 🙏🏻
Another cracking video Dave, totally lose myself in those drone shots with the back ground music mate. Listening to you at the end Dave is why we all do what we do and why we all support your videos. That momentary release from the crap life can throw at us that the mountains give us is why we push on. Everyone's struggle is different, but like you said about this wild camp being a bit of a challenge, you wouldn't do it it if wasn't. I think I can safely say for every subscriber on here, your videos help everyone of us in some sort of way. You are doing more good than you probably imagine, so I hope that's enough for you to keep digging in and giving us these great vids mate. Up there myself next weekend, too long the wait has been. Can I ask where you got your water bottle holder on your strap. I've looked on-line and some seem a ridicules price for what they are. Cheers
Big thanks for your kind words John🙏🏻. Really appreciate that. The bottle holder is from Mammut 👍
I'm guessing this camp felt like a summer camp compared to where you are right now (up north)! Grizedale Tarn looked so calm, surprised no other camper were there, the whole video had a calmness to it, great spot to camp too, looks awesome in white.
Can I ask about your hand, your fingers seemed to be in that closed position whenever I looked, did the surgery go well?
Top job with the video mate, and women are always cold water swimming, love it haha! 🏞🤘
Hi Paul and thank you. My hand is doing ok but the fingers have started to close again, not because of the dupytrens, but because of the scar tissue after the operation. Very frustrating but it is what it is. ATB Dave
@The Solo Summiteer oh no, sorry to hear that.
Is it a quilt you are using? If so is it the cumulus? Looks lovely and toasty
It is Patrick. Great piece of kit 👍
Good one again Dave. How do you find the scarpas performing? Keep it going.
Cheers Andrew. Always love the Scarpas 👍
