My dad used to take me out walking every weekend without fail - we roamed our native Yorkshire and all over the lakes. Your lad may not know it now, but you’re forging some of the best memories of his life in videos such as these.
Another fine journey you have taken us on...... Im 63 and disabled so these trails are now but a dream to me, but its so fulfilling to just armchair it thru your eyes !!!!.....thanks for all you do my friend !!!!!
I be willing to come get you and do a camp with you, you may be disabled, but you never give up on your dreams, dreams can become a reality, can bring your armchair too
This might not be your sons idea of a great day and night, but i guarantee when he's older and you are gone, its these memories with his dad he will reminisce on with his own kids, You're a very special dad, Great video, 😊 Be safe,
Stumbled acorss @English Woodsman in this bothy when he was doing this exact video. He asked I would like to stay but I couldn't unfortunately. Looked a cosy little place though
I once stayed in a bunk house In Scotland another camper snored like the sound of a jumbo jet, allow there was 5 of those jocks and just me I said I bet your misses is glad when you go camping, and he said yes! It hasn't put me off my trips North of the Border be maybe take ear defenders next time!😂😊😅
Great video marra , I know what you mean about bothys,that one is particularly busy . Keep it gannin, that lump is Great Gable ,all stone summit though .
Greetings from Florida in the States. I SOOO appreciate your videos because they are the experience of the actual camping and nature. So many American channels focus on cooking instead of the earthly experience. Thank you, cheers!
With Bothies, it tends to be a case of the more inaccessible, the better. This one is on a well-used path, so there will be lots of people in and out. If you go to one that's more out of the way, you'll be less likely to get visitors, and if you do get visitors they'll tend to be people who are out there to enjoy nature rather than have a party.
I stayed in here a few weeks back, 12 of us crammed in. Some were a little loud but soon as a few of us went to get our head down everyone followed suit and was great. Tents are nicer though
A lot of the mountain bothys in Scotland have been closed because too many people thought that they would be safe from the cold and bad weather in them, and spent the night, but came to a worse end than if they had pushed on. The weather here can change in a heartbeat, and what might look like a nice sunny day can turn soul sappingly wet, foggy, and cold before you have a chance to adapt. If you are going out in the highlands, please don't plan your route around bothys and caves, but make sure you can either get to your destination, or leave enough time to turn back, and plot out emergency stops along the way. Stay safe.
Part of the problem in Scotland (and probably elsewhere) is that people / groups are increasing using the bothys for recreational camping (as opposed to them being a refuge or stop over for hill walkers), and they leave them full of rubbish, beer cans and have no consideration for those coming next.
@@GG-im1cb aye. sadly, its the same people that have got wild camping either banned or regulated in the trossachs. everything is somebody elses responsibility to them. somebody else will clean up when they leave.
People are the biggest problem in nature, humans can be hideous uncaring selfish pieces of sh_t with zero consideration for no one and nothing but themselves, they carry all the crap in then leave it lying around because they couldn't be bothered to carry it back out, most humans are the dreggs and scum of this planet.
@@hornantuutti5157 I’m Canadian, no winter is as bad as ours 😂 over here it’s perfectly legal to break into a private cabin if you need to use it to get away from a snow storm during winter. It’s run on the honour system so thankfully abusing this rule is pretty rare (tho not unheard of).
I stopped in dubs hut briefly last year in torrential weather , dryed some gear , left some gear to collect next morning .quite a few already settled in. I hiked on further to innominate tarn on haystacks , camped the night . Brilliant area .
Great vid as usual👍 I have often thought about staying in a Bothy, that has made my mind up, it won't be happening, will stick to the good old tent. Thanks for sharing 👍
Nice hike and amazing views! English countryside is beautiful. You’re doing a good job with the GoPro - picture quality is great. What I like best about your hiking videos is the scenery. What’s best about your woodland camps is the meal prep. I enjoy them all!
I don't fancy kipping in a bothy, great place to dry clothes and equipment! Good to see your lad tagging along. Look forward to more adventures, stay safe atvb 👍🦊
Great video. Footage was really good on the go-pro. Loved the sheep joining you for your breakfast lol Nice to see you out of the woods. I have just been scouting around Derwent water for a place to hammock camp, with a view of the lake .... got afew ideas...
I've stayed in dubs hut a couple of times, it didn't have the wood burner then, or the sleeping platforms, it's much better now. They're definitely mountains in the lake District lol. If I remember rightly, anything over 600m above sea level is classed as a mountain 👍🏻
Hi Dan , the Camera worked great mate , this was an interesting change from your usual Woodland Camping , it will be interesting to see what else you have lined up for us ! , Be Well my Friend , until next time .🙂👍
Enjoyed the video as always. I only slept in one of those huts many years ago in the late 60s. i was 12 years old at the time. We used to call them "Shepherd Huts" they had no home comforts whatsoever. I used to go on shooting trips and usually camped out, but my uncle said we could try one of these places. To be honest, it felt nice to have some room for a change and be completely dry. See you soon. 👍👍👍
The scenery was Stellar! As with you, I would not enjoy sleeping with strangers in a Bothy. The interiors I have seen on RUclips show a mass sleeping platform or bunks meant for 2-4 tired hikers seeking shelter. That aside, the Bothy system can be a lifesaver in bad weather.
Nice one, Dan! Good experience! Wildcamping vs 7 in a stinky hut..... I know what I'd prefer! Ha! Gopro sound and vision good as far as I can say, I'm only watching on my phone, though.
I've stayed in many bothies, the ones in the lake District can get pretty busy as do some in Scotland, the ones in the kielder forest are a bit more private, they are a lot harder to find scattered about in a forest, plus you get to have a fire as there is a lot of dead wood lying around.
Bothy good place for a stop if you are freezing and wet, but as soon as you are dry, if you can stick your tent up away from the place then do it, then return in the morning for a heat up, before popping off. Most are probably the same in a bothy, just wanting heat and to relax, but 7 yeah too much, especially if you are alone and don't know them, best if it's just you and a partner, or another couple is usually ok, but 100% go for the tent if you can. 👍🏼
Same reason why I rarely stay in Bothies... To answer your question: A hill is anything under 1,000ft but there is more to it than that.. In England & Wales a Nuttall is a hill over 2,000ft In Scotland you have: Donalds which are hills south of the Highlands over 2,000ft. Grahams which are Scottish peaks between 2,000 and 2,499ft Corbetts which are mountains that measure between 2,500-3,000ft Munros are mountains in Scotland measuring over 3,000ft - There is also Marilyns which feature all mountains in Scotland, England, Wales, Northern Ireland and even the Republic of Ireland with a prominence over 490ft I'm sure there are more names for hills out there but that's the ones that I know of but really a hill is a hill at the end of the day.. I will be in the Peak District soon for my first ever visit and I can't wait as I have a lot of interesting things planned for that hiking and camping adventure, hopefully all goes to plan.
You were about a 15mins walk from Dubs Hut to Warnscale Bothy which is very old but picturesque with stunning views down to Buttermere (you can see the path at 24.40 secs while eating your breakfast..follow the fork to the right and down hill. Its hard to see as its very hidden amongst the slate, especially the way we went, up the path from Gatesgarth)
Hi Darren, we popped in that bothy/hut on father's Day my only ever walk with my Daughter and her partner as it was pouring down! A special day! Sharing space with others has its drawbacks such as snoring or farting during night, apparently I do both as does my partner but he is a 🐕, my favourite mountain is near by Dubs Great Gable a real gem, I hope to see you on more Lakeland adventure's, and yes video very good with new gear. Best wishes.Mark Shaw.
Just stayed in dubs hut last night with a mate, was 10 other lads aside from us too a few of them camped out then the rest of us squeezed in the bothy.. had a great night loads of good crack all round
Hi Dan. A mate and I went there in September. Visited that slate mine,too. Parked there overnight for a tenner (?), I think. Some great stuff at that mine, made from slate outside the visitors centre, ain’t there. We stayed up on Brandreth,we great views of Lake Buttermere and Scotland in the distance. We saw that bothey as we were walking up to Brandreth. Didn’t fancy it, myself.I your planning on more walks up there, try and get up to Three Tarns. Great view of Scafell Pike. All the best 👍🏾🇬🇧
Come to Scotland we have plenty mountains and when you're here try the west Highland way its a long walk its hard work but the views will make it all worth your effort the peace and quiet is amazing and if you walk about 14 miles a day you will get to a pub
Great vlog, lovely to see your lad out with you as well. Brilliant that the vacuum mylar bags for food worked a treat. Haha snoring competitions with strangers, one tale for the next camp.
Such a shame you didn't go to the top and look down the valley and over Buttermere because the view from Fleetwith Pike is amazing, great to see you're exploring my part of the country.
Picture quality is great, the sound is the same old waffle but clearer. I wouldn’t want to camp with strangers anyway. Beautiful area that, looking forward to your hiking experiences. 1 thought, get a map and show us around the terrain location. People are interested in that too
No matter where you are in the world, these traveler's huts attract people...too many a lot of times. Even in grim weather, I preferred my own shelter and would use them to dry gear if needed.
you know what mate, I've given you some bad comment's in the past but this one made me laugh, I wouldn't want to share that place unless the weather was really bad. I like to see you out of those woods pushing yourself a little bit. That's a like from me.
Need to go back up there, wouldn't mind stopping so could have early trek up great gable, wouldn't be able to stand snoring though would have to set up me tent lol
Another great vid Dan. I have been using YHA camping barns recently. You might want to check those out. If you pay the extra you can have exclusive use of the barn for you and your party. Worth a look if you want the privacy for filming. There are hundreds of them. There is a years worth of content just reviewing the barns mate.
Picture excellent bro. I've been to the lake district years ago with a week school trip climbing mountains and going to hospital for stitches in my head as the lads at the other side of this pond were skimming stones I bent down to pick up a stone and got hit on the head so the rest of the pictures are with me with a ballaclarve on with a big bandage under it good time eh lol.
If I remember right buddy a mountain is a free rising mass rising 1000ft (300 mtrs) in relation to the surrounding area. Ive slept 8n many a bothy but always prefer my tent lol. Thanks for the video.
theres a really nice little bothi about 15 mins from that one just over the nab infront of your bothi, gives a really awesome view down onto buttermere.
Make sure if you venture further afield ie up Great Gable etc that you have a paper map and compass and know how to use them! The only way we could come down from Great Gable was by following a compass direction. Your phone won't work if it gets too cold!
So pleased you have moved on to new pastures as much as I love your channel I was sick of you sleeping in the campsite and the permission woods There is a lot of wild campers out there and they get all over the place You definitely need to keep up
Try being a little nicer when you make a comment,how bloody rude. you probably sit on your ass whilst making stupid comments like this but judge others who are getting out there and giving it a go. Let's see some of your adventures so we can judge yours 😊😊
@Sammy Russell Didn't want to be mean just I watch Wardle mcn Adam in the wild bushman in blue they haven't got anywhere near as many subscribers as Dan has they put so much into their channels Somewhere near every episode keeps it fresh
You know he may camp in the same places that seem boring. You mentioned other " wild campers " who put so much into their videos, go off to great places, and have far fewer subscribers. Then, you must ask yourself why so many watch these videos. It's obviously not the areas he's camping, I can only speak for myself now, it's the presenter, he's down to earth, honest and funny, he sugar coats nothing, he's someone so many can relate to, the others you speak of, may want to watch him and see what they are missing in their videos, just my honest opinion on your post,
You have to remember, Dan has a wife and kids and he doesn't have the funds to go too far every week. Keep doing what you're doing Dan. Another great video.
I thought that sheep was a dog 🤣 great idea for a quiet sleep, ear plugs! I've got noisy cockerels and when my friend comes round to stay in his motor he uses them and says they work a treat. Even if you can't sleep for the rain or wind hitting your tent they will be great so it's well worth keeping a pair in your bag.👌❤️💛💚 have you walked anywhere on the Pennine way? It goes through my garden and if you do I will give you a cuppa or can of some sort.
Hey Dan - Thanx for the great vid! The quality on the go pro was good and you handled it very well. Some RUclipsrs swing those things around so much that it make viewers dizzy just to watch it. You did great though and it looks good.
Great video and really good picture quality. Bothy not for me; a tent gives privacy and personal space things we value when out in the wild. Yes, of course there can be some advantage but overall who needs to be surrounded by complaining strangers. Thanks again!
I love camping the out doors cooking a fry up on the camping stove not keen on heavy rain I buy the pop up tents they can leak Derbyshire is amazing for camping
Picture quality in my opinion buddy is very good. As for camping, I reckon a tent is the best option but great place to stop for a brew and a warm up if needed or a place in very bad weather. A new experience pal and keep up the good work fella

My Brother used to live in Penrith, The hills are known locally as Fells, loving your channel subscribed a few days ago when I found you.
Yep, that would not do me at all; leave the Bothies to those who don't like their own company! Glad you tried it for me! Now I don't need to lol
Lots of vids like this, but sometimes u find special ones, your vids are one of them

Great vid mate,picture & sound bang on , first time watching 👍
Same reason why I rarely stay in Bothies...
To answer your question:
A hill is anything under 1,000ft but there is more to it than that.. In England & Wales a Nuttall is a hill over 2,000ft
In Scotland you have:
Donalds which are hills south of the Highlands over 2,000ft.
Grahams which are Scottish peaks between 2,000 and 2,499ft
Corbetts which are mountains that measure between 2,500-3,000ft
Munros are mountains in Scotland measuring over 3,000ft
- There is also Marilyns which feature all mountains in Scotland, England, Wales, Northern Ireland and even the Republic of Ireland with a prominence over 490ft
I'm sure there are more names for hills out there but that's the ones that I know of but really a hill is a hill at the end of the day..
I will be in the Peak District soon for my first ever visit and I can't wait as I have a lot of interesting things planned for that hiking and camping adventure, hopefully all goes to plan.
It is NOT that the Hills are so High; it is that the Valleys are so low!🙂 Mining and erosion have had a lot to do with this landscape.
this is the comment i was scrolling through looking for, hope it gets pinned

Definition of a mountain in the uk is having a peak higher than 305 meters/1,000 feet ❤
Good video hope your son had a good time ❤
It's 2000ft/609m we use here in the UK
As Julian says it's traditionally 2000 ft in UK which equates to just over 600 m in metric.
Correct. 2000 feet or higher is a mountain.
Picture excellent bro.

Looks like a great place to go! It's definitely on my list of places to go and stay.
Make sure if you venture further afield ie up Great Gable etc that you have a paper map and compass and know how to use them! The only way we could come down from Great Gable was by following a compass direction. Your phone won't work if it gets too cold!
Nice to see you out and about, never stayed in a bothy, not really sure if I'd like to with other folks in there I don't know.
The go pro stability is a great addition to the arsenal .
Nice to watch your films while doing the shopping btw .
I already have smaller sealable bags, but got some from the link thank you.
So pleased you have moved on to new pastures as much as I love your channel I was sick of you sleeping in the campsite and the permission woods There is a lot of wild campers out there and they get all over the place You definitely need to keep up
Try being a little nicer when you make a comment,how bloody rude. you probably sit on your ass whilst making stupid comments like this but judge others who are getting out there and giving it a go. Let's see some of your adventures so we can judge yours 😊😊
What a back handed compliment😅
@Sammy Russell Didn't want to be mean just I watch Wardle mcn Adam in the wild bushman in blue they haven't got anywhere near as many subscribers as Dan has they put so much into their channels Somewhere near every episode keeps it fresh
You know he may camp in the same places that seem boring. You mentioned other " wild campers " who put so much into their videos, go off to great places, and have far fewer subscribers. Then, you must ask yourself why so many watch these videos. It's obviously not the areas he's camping, I can only speak for myself now, it's the presenter, he's down to earth, honest and funny, he sugar coats nothing, he's someone so many can relate to, the others you speak of, may want to watch him and see what they are missing in their videos, just my honest opinion on your post,
You have to remember, Dan has a wife and kids and he doesn't have the funds to go too far every week. Keep doing what you're doing Dan. Another great video.
I thought that sheep was a dog 🤣 great idea for a quiet sleep, ear plugs! I've got noisy cockerels and when my friend comes round to stay in his motor he uses them and says they work a treat. Even if you can't sleep for the rain or wind hitting your tent they will be great so it's well worth keeping a pair in your bag.👌❤️💛💚 have you walked anywhere on the Pennine way? It goes through my garden and if you do I will give you a cuppa or can of some sort.
Picture and sound good, I would never use a bothy, I like my own space. Good to try I suppose.
I just heard you say about the bags , lol thanks
The number 1 rule in bothy camping is get to sleep first so your own snoring does not affect you!
cracking mate, hopefully i will be out myself in the coming weeks, play safe 😊
Hey Dan ! Just watching your coniston video, our neck of the woods !
We call the mountain,,/ hill, Fells here.
ALL GOOD,,, THANK YOU..
That is freaking nuts dood!
Hey Dan - Thanx for the great vid! The quality on the go pro was good and you handled it very well. Some RUclipsrs swing those things around so much that it make viewers dizzy just to watch it. You did great though and it looks good.
Awesome vid! We are off to Scotland in 3 weeks and plan to stay in a bothy for the first night if it’s not full already 😅
Good quality video, fantastic views,love them pouches
I would love one of those flat rocks to paint. I am an avid rock painter 😊
Great video and really good picture quality. Bothy not for me; a tent gives privacy and personal space things we value when out in the wild. Yes, of course there can be some advantage but overall who needs to be surrounded by complaining strangers. Thanks again!
Open to all, expect them to be full
I love camping the out doors cooking a fry up on the camping stove not keen on heavy rain I buy the pop up tents they can leak Derbyshire is amazing for camping
Picture quality in my opinion buddy is very good. As for camping, I reckon a tent is the best option but great place to stop for a brew and a warm up if needed or a place in very bad weather. A new experience pal and keep up the good work fella
great video dan ! thats defo a place on the list for a hike and a wild camp. Video quality really good too mate
