Cheers Dai , yeah I dont want to be calling out for international rescue if I can help it lol . hopefully you are enjoying xmas as best as possible these days atb Dave
Looked a great camp Dave, regardless of weather! Haweswater is truly beautiful, love the sound of wind and rain when you’re all snuggled down warm inside! 👍👍👍
Thanks Anthony , the light was poor for filming but just had to do the best . Love the ruggedness of Haweswater , I was well tucked up to survive the night . Atb Dave
You, Beaver and Messner are just great! I wild camp for fishing spring to autumn in the Lakes, Snowdonia and Scotland but winter camping is fascinating looking at your vids! Thanks
Well that was bloody windy Dave! Love that feeling of being inside a warm tent when it’s horrific outside. You must feel safe in the hilly, take care 👍🏻
Spot-on mini adventure!! Thanks for the video! I've started going old-skool with food and been taking cans instead of the bags. Really inexpensive and loads of variety - ring pull (obviously). Add a can of potatoes to bulk it up. I take off the top and sit the can in a cup of about 30cm of water - the shallow water boils quickly and heats up the can. Stuff the rubbish inn the empty can and recycle. M&S are fab! Possible to eat out of the can and save washing up. Also, a packet of poppadoms is good fun. I put a bit of oil on them and stick them straight in the flame (trying not to burn off my fingerprints!). I was out last Saturday with a couple of makes on local fields. Freezing fog was as chilly as my gear could stand! Keep up the good work mate!
Thanks Ben , my trouble is I am lazy and want a quick fix . But I can see the cost advantage of the tinned meals which I have done in the past . Thanks for watching atb Dave
yes a little on the wild side dave.only wild campers understand the pleasures of zipping the tent door up & getting battered by the wind all night lol. taking no chances with plenty insulation under your mat. stay safe & warm atb.
Looked a fresh un that Dave but always good to get out & with reyt gear it's enjoyable.. Grand looking area that up there I've to tick off yet those two Wainrights up there. Great views though over haweswater looking over to high Street & kidsty pike etc.. Really hoping to get back up there this winter fingers crossed.. Tfs Dave.. Andy.
Cheers Andy a typical lakes night eh . Yeah it’s nice quiet part of the lakes , handy hill for a quick camp from the car . Hope you can hit the lakes soon mate for another winter camp . TFW atb Dave
Good morning Dave, beautiful snow kissed mountains on the way in. Can't get away from the wind up on them hills eh? Nice load out you have there matey. Chilly windy morning Brrrrr,rrr. I still enjoy those views even through the cloud. 👍 Lee
Great to see you back in the mountains Dave. Can’t believe I’ve not been to the Lakes since September. Was definitely a bit of a flappy night in the Akto. Picture quality was mint 👍. Stay safe , man - ATB Dave
Thanks Dave , the weather is back to its dismal usual stuff , wet and windy 😂 still a good test for the Akto . Always fighting the light on this one 📷 TFW atb Dave
'You've got to be bit daft haven't you? Otherwise you'd just crack up' is deffo the philosophical and inspiratiional quote of the week on RUclips as far as I'm concerned Dave. Always a quality show from The B.R. Very impressed with how you've worked on using kit that minimizes wind noise - we still get an idea of the strength, but the mic doesn't sound like it's being ripped apart like on most vids. As ever the photography is top notch. As for the toilet situation, I can't help wondering if the popularity of drones and ultra zoom lenses has made people afraid to crap out in the open any more! Thanks mate, top viewing. Rich.
Well me mother thinks I am daft lol , the hero 9 media mod worked a treat and the little rode lave mic because as you know the wind can destroy a video . The light on this one was very poor but using a light mounted on the gopro helped it. I just think some folk don't think before they take a dump , at least Bury it . Thanks for watching atb Dave
Looked very picturesque on the way up and a nice hot scoff to warm you up but I could not have a cold drink in that weather. Yep, it did sound a wild night and limited sleep, surprised you got any at all. I am real sick of not being able to get out with the lockdown and Tier 3 restrictions, starting to get stir crazy now mind, cheers Alan
Thanks Alan , yeah this aint going away quick is it !!! I was heading out whatever the weather as we also could end up in tier 3 if the numbers keep going up . I enjoyed the views before darkness closed in , anyway I was comfortably tucked away in a warm tent . tfw atb Dave
Fantastic Dave. Yes, be daft and daft often. It looked like the best daft time wind and all. Yeah it sure does drop the temperature. But you were well set up there. I enjoyed that. All the best. Mark
@@BorderRambler A pleasure Dave, it looked a good one on all fronts. Thanks mate - in your own time. A I say to other in full, in part or skip watch. Gotta have that flexibility. It's a bit like along hike. Peace!
Looked a good one Dave, once you were pitched up and sorted. It's good getting an early finish from work to escape to the hills for a night away. Good to see the Akto bossing the wind with the Deltas. I'm sick of seeing poor toileting in the hills, folk taking babywipes FFS!
Yeah it was a quick escape but the light faded very quickly 😂The Akto held strong with the deltas just glad I brought them . Its pretty disgusting really , at least bury it so we dont have to find it !!!
The head of Haweswater is probably my favourite bit of the Lakes and the Corpse Road is a good route on to the tops. Dirty swines re' that ruin, really annoying. It was pristine when I was up there in August. I recently tried one of those EM beef hotpots and liked it a lot. Cool film mate and Merry Christmas. Chris
Thanks Chris, yeah I find it the quiet part of the lakes . I enjoyed the em meal , tasty and filling . Some dirty B left there calling card 😡🤛 . All the best Dave
Jealous Dave, can't beat being hunkered down in the jetwash, you've inspired me to get out tomorrow night, wee clear slot forecast and some meteors, locally locked down tho so options at a premium . A
Thanks Andrew , glad to hear you are now out tonight . Hopefully you will get a decent night weather wise . Any location local or not is good these days 😂 enjoy atb Dave
Don't fancy your chances when you get back after nicking the misses gin from the fridge! 😁Nice one Dave, invest in the winter version of that Exped mat - i've had mine for a few years and although not got out much in winter lately it's top UK proof kit👍🍺
I was just thinking that ruined cottage would make a good Bivi spot. Maybe not then! Nice bit of snow on the tops for a bit of a winter atmosphere if nothing else. Take it easy.
It would have made a great bivi spot if someone hadn't left there calling card !! It was nice to see the white tops of the higher peaks briefly . atb Dave
-5 tropical Dave lol I its the wind that cuts you , if you feel cold you feel cold. In my experience there's not a direct correlation between how cold you feel and the temperature although obviously it is a factor. Madness does help when doing this but I was say it's madder sitting watching the TV if your able to get out. Wild and windy I looking forward to thatTBH. Going straight from work is something I'm trying to avoid now, getting too old to head straight from nightshift onto a munro summit camp. Hope you get the snow I'll settle just to get out! I miss my Akto glad I got Soulo though and just got Scarp 1 but Akto still my most used tent I think . Maybe during the January lockdown I could count lol. ATB
Tropical for you Eddie , iam a cold arse so need to be well prepared . We are all a bit mad to spend a night freezing when I could sit in front of a stove with a beer 😂 suppose I can do that any night really . I wouldn’t fancy coming off nights myself and go camping 0525 start was enough for me lol . Let’s hope 2021 is better eh atb Dave
Nice one dave. Windy. Rainy. Yep standard 😂 first time I’ve seen an akto pitched properly ie not flapping around wildly. I think the best thing about hilles is how easy they are to pack away in harsh conditions. Foil mat underneath is the greatest thing ever. I use the exped downmat with double foil. It’s amazing the difference it makes. Anyway hopefully get oot next week I’ll be watching for your solstice camp. By the way you using a light attachment on that gopro? That’s what I need. Atb. 👍
Thanks Andy , I suppose its standard lakes weather . A hilly was needed for this one thats for sure lol , its surprising the difference without a foil mat ! I have just ordered a downmat 5. I will be out whatever the weather that is for sure . I use a little £10 light off ebay atb Dave
It’s been around 18 months since I was at haweswater I’ve been recently thinking of going back you’ve just sealed the deal. Nice one Dave probably same as me with this lockdown I’m going stir crazy 😜
I just wish I had more daylight hours to explore but just thankfull we are allowed out still. I will be back again that’s got sure when this all calms down . I feel your pain 😡 stay strong atb Dave
Good stuff Dave , looked a nice pitch .Windy night eh .. I'll need to get my akto out at some point ive not had it out for a few years now. enjoyed that mate ..Cheers Stevie
Brilliant film Dave. The Akto looked solid there. Can't wait to get mine out onto the hills when time allows. The audio was also top notch so good work there 👍 looking forward to the next one, take care - Tom
Good to see you out on a cold and windy camp Dave, was looking at winter exped mats the other day , where did you get your little temperature thing from? Cracking camp mate, looked freezing, ATB 🏕️👍
Nice camp there Dave. That's dedication for you straight from work. I wouldn't risk using a alcohol stove in the tent, I would probably knock it over and then I wouldn't have a tent anymore. Have you done a link to that quilt? ATB Darren
Thanks Darren , if you notice the shot after stove shot I opened the door 😂 the wind was blowing it a bit too much for my liking !

Get on Dave 👍. Great wild camp mate 👌. Loved the views on the walk in. I haven't long purchased a new shelter and the previous owner has kindly thrown some delta pegs in but i haven't used them yet. Hopefully this weekend if all goes to plan 🤞. Thanks for sharing Dave. Atb Sconja 👍

I have bought the mountain laurel designs duomid in dcf camo and a 4season aliexpress inner .Ray the Renegade Scot kindly chucked in a couple of trecking pole extensions, carbon fibre pole and 4 delta pegs 😁.

Great camping spot. Nice sprinkling of snow on the tops there. Not everyone seems like the expedition foods. I love the taste of the expedition foods I tried so far. How you finding the Delta pegs do think there be ok in the snow? Looked very cold in that wind. All best Richard
Thanks Richard, those EX meals seem good to me 👍 it was a wild old night in the hills . Not sure about snow but soft ground they hold really well . TFW atb Dave
I’m longing to get out after watching that Dave. I loved the location and conditions, typical camping weather for me. It always amazes me when people visit ancient monuments and then take a sh*t there 🤯🤬. Did you film on the new GoPro?. A great video 👍🏽
Thanks Gary , it’s a nice quiet part of the lakes and very wild . I know why go and crap there , boils me 😡 mostly all filmed on the GoPro 9, the light was really poor so had my little light on the top also . TFW atb Dave
Another cracking video Dave. I noticed you had a video of Carlisle when it flooded. I used to work there way back in 2000 so was remembering some of those places. How do you find the Go Pro 9?
Thanks, they are heightening the walls as I write so hopefully never floods again ??? Hero 9 is ok but if using without the mod the audio is naff popping and crackling . The next firmware update due out soon . It shouldn’t have been released before all these issues rectified first . TFW atb Dave
Good video Dave. Definitely a bit windy. I think the lunar solo may have struggled. I'm starting to see a few more people now using tables like yours - are they worth it?. ATB
Thanks Jim , for £15 super light it’s a no brainier in my books . The lunar solo would have been tested to the limit lol atb Dave ps liking your new logo 👍
Good if V windy night, as you say you've got to do these things. Mirrors a little the fells I plan on venturing round for a night, though setting off from Sleddale, that's when / if in the NE we ever get get out of tier three. Typical uneducated situation concerning the toileting, dwellings such as that do seem to attract this unfortunately. Long winter ahead, maybe you will get the aurora another time.
Thanks Iain , a little wild lol . I also need to try from the sleddale side looks quite an interesting area . Hopefully you will be out of tier 3 soon . Yes I also see a long winter ahead and hope to catch the aurora one day TFW atb Dave
@@BorderRambler If you get out again before Christmas Dave, there is the conjunction between Jupiter and Saturn to look out for. Merging together now, this complete alignment will happen on the 21st, observable low in the west just after dusk, will be distinctly bright clear skies permitting.
Yes weathers been grim, slightly better for weekend and perhaps beyond maybe. Probably a tier three extensive for us, hope that you stay in your tier two, allowing more freedom within Cumbria.
Hi Dave, enjoyed this one. Did you mostly use the hero 9 for filming in this? I recently used it and wondered if you alter the pro tunes settings at all? Thanks.
Hi Dave, How do you rate your UGQ quilt, I bought one earlier on in the year but havnt managed to put it to full use because of Covid. I was hoping to use it in the snow in Scotland but with the lockdown restrictions I ,ve not been able to get out to play. Enjoying your vids, keep them coming. Cheers.
I love it mate , however its only as good as the mat you lie on . If you have a crap mat the cold will strike through especially on cold ground . But have a good mat its great I use 3 elastic ties to keep it tight to the mat . The foilbacked foam mat stopped any cold striking through on this camp . TFW atb Dave
@@BorderRambler Cheers Dave I have a four season Exped mat plus a foil ground mat so hopefully that should keep me warm. i also have three elastic ties to hold it in place so roll on the end of lockdown. atb Alex.
Only just found your channel and love it! Great, down to earth videos! Would love to know what spec quilt you got? What light do you use to hang in your tent too?
Thank’s Jonathan , the quilt is the 800 fill power and rated down to -12c . The light is just a cheapo Amazon bulb shaped light less than a £10 if I remember rightly . Thanks for watching atb Dave 👍
I suppose it’s personal choice but I find it ok , I did get overstuff in the foot box tho . Just remember a decent insulated mat is needed to keep the heat in otherwise it will be lost atb Dave
Wow some wind there dave, you got some awesome gear to handle it all. Great video buddy and hope your having a good Christmas. Atb dai

Good video Dave. Definitely a bit windy. I think the lunar solo may have struggled. I'm starting to see a few more people now using tables like yours - are they worth it?. ATB
Thanks Jim , for £15 super light it’s a no brainier in my books . The lunar solo would have been tested to the limit lol atb Dave
ps liking your new logo 👍
Good if V windy night, as you say you've got to do these things. Mirrors a little the fells I plan on venturing round for a night, though setting off from Sleddale, that's when / if in the NE we ever get get out of tier three. Typical uneducated situation concerning the toileting, dwellings such as that do seem to attract this unfortunately. Long winter ahead, maybe you will get the aurora another time.
Thanks Iain , a little wild lol . I also need to try from the sleddale side looks quite an interesting area . Hopefully you will be out of tier 3 soon . Yes I also see a long winter ahead and hope to catch the aurora one day TFW atb Dave
@@BorderRambler If you get out again before Christmas Dave, there is the conjunction between Jupiter and Saturn to look out for. Merging together now, this complete alignment will happen on the 21st, observable low in the west just after dusk, will be distinctly bright clear skies permitting.
@@iainsharples1433 hopefully out but the weather has been nothing but overcast lately , I will try though 🥶 atb Dave
Yes weathers been grim, slightly better for weekend and perhaps beyond maybe. Probably a tier three extensive for us, hope that you stay in your tier two, allowing more freedom within Cumbria.
Hi Dave, enjoyed this one. Did you mostly use the hero 9 for filming in this? I recently used it and wondered if you alter the pro tunes settings at all? Thanks.
Most of it but used my Canon g7x to film the Misty morning shots . And yes I alter the pro tune settings on my 9
Good vid. Thank you. Ear plugs great but you need to get fingerless gloves. Make a huge difference.
Thanks , my finger ends would drop off lol
Hi Dave, How do you rate your UGQ quilt, I bought one earlier on in the year but havnt managed to put it to full use because of Covid. I was hoping to use it in the snow in Scotland but with the lockdown restrictions I ,ve not been able to get out to play. Enjoying your vids, keep them coming. Cheers.
I love it mate , however its only as good as the mat you lie on . If you have a crap mat the cold will strike through especially on cold ground . But have a good mat its great I use 3 elastic ties to keep it tight to the mat . The foilbacked foam mat stopped any cold striking through on this camp . TFW atb Dave
@@BorderRambler Cheers Dave I have a four season Exped mat plus a foil ground mat so hopefully that should keep me warm. i also have three elastic ties to hold it in place so roll on the end of lockdown. atb Alex.
Nice video thanks for posting I use my earplugs at home ....married you see 😅🖖
Cheers mate , my wife wears them after I have had a drink lol TFW atb Dave
Only just found your channel and love it! Great, down to earth videos! Would love to know what spec quilt you got? What light do you use to hang in your tent too?
Thank’s Jonathan , the quilt is the 800 fill power and rated down to -12c . The light is just a cheapo Amazon bulb shaped light less than a £10 if I remember rightly . Thanks for watching atb Dave 👍
@@BorderRambler thanks Dave! Do you find the 800 FP ok? Stuck between the 800 and 850
I suppose it’s personal choice but I find it ok , I did get overstuff in the foot box tho . Just remember a decent insulated mat is needed to keep the heat in otherwise it will be lost atb Dave
@@BorderRambler couldn’t agree more! Is the -12 the comfort rating or limit?
@@JDB269 I would say the limit
