77 Miles, Wild Camping & Photography | The Cumbria Way
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 июл 2019
- It has been a while since I hiked any kind of distance and I feel like I haven't been wild camping for years, so I packed my camera and my hiking back and took on the challenge of The Cumbria Way. In 4 days I hiked 77 miles, wild camped in some beautiful locations and enjoyed a little bit of landscape photography. I hope you enjoy this micro adventure.

In this video I was praising the DJI Osmo Action. I take it all back as mine had a catastrophic failure mid trip. I was forced to buy a GoPro 7, which was my second choice, but so far I love it. It should be more reliable than the Osmo.
Thomas Heaton good choice. I have the 7 and a couple of friends are using the Osmo action. They have problems also.
No problems with mine. Been using it since the release!
I also had the same, Day 2 of my 30 day holiday abroad! Total brick to carry for the rest of the travels. I bought a Go Pro 7 the day after the failure.
It's why we started following you in the first place Thomas all those years ago.
Same here.
Exactly. This is like going back to his roots
Absolutely right
+1 on that!
So true. My first Thomas Heaton video was: "Solo Wild Camping & Landscape Photography on Location - Lake District Cloud Inversion" years ago. I hope for more videos like this ;-)
The gate, the hat on sideways, and the confusion. Brilliant ending.
My favorite videos of yours. Hiking... looking for a capture. It's what got me hooked on your channel over a year ago. Superb. 👍
What a great video. As it happens someone from Carlisle City Council was watching - I’m the chief executive and I’ll try and get something done about the disappointing end of the Cumbria Way.
As someone from Carlisle who will very likely also do this route one day, I am pleased to hear that
Good for you Jason, all the way from the U.S.
Was one of the main reasons why I subscribed to your channel Tom, Missed all the camping adventure photography series and then you kinda teamed up with Brandon trying to commercialize, I watched afew of those then lost interest could not view anymore haven't watched anything from you for maybe 8 months then I seen this title Wild Camping & Photography mate you got my attention again
I agree. I miss the older videos.
glad I am not the only one who thought BVS was a big mistake. And now Thomas is back in the groove!
I followed both Thomas and Brandon and afew others before these 2 merged with their bright idea of offering photography workshops together, I then started to see these 2 change as greed start to take over they were only out there to line their own pockets, when they stated well people we can only post a vlog once a week every Thursday I believe that's when I stopped watching but still subscribed.
@@henryfitzthum7563 lol
only Thomas Heaton can walk past numerous gorgeous spots and breathtaking landscapes, and say, I just didn't find a scene I wanted to photograph....
Really enjoyed this video - thanks a lot!
Followed you for years, love all your videos, but this one reminded me of the old days. Loved it! Thanks again Tom.
Videos like this are one of the reasons I watch less TV and aspire to get into landscape photography, relaxing informative and amusing, brilliant, thank you.
Pretty much love every video you produce, this walk and wild camp remind me of why I subscribed from the start. Cheers Thomas
Nothing like having a little bit of solo time for 77 miles just to see what you will see on a hike and not knowing what you will find for photography inspiration everywhere what you will find who will know
I am so grateful that you are showing the work and challenges behind going out and shooting in nature! People seem to forget that we do have to get to these places, and sometimes that means hours and hours of trecking just to have the weather fall through and have to head home empty-handed. It's nice to have someone showing the less fun glamorous side of things!
What a fantastic video Thomas! What it "lacked" in photography it made up for in adventure by a long long stretch! Loved watching it, very inspiring.
Watching in early Spring, 2021. This is such a breath of fresh air. No quarantine, no “people” worries. Just you and Mother Nature. I love how the newest videos focus mostly on photography. Yet the hiking focus is a welcome departure. Thank you!
Also just watched it (March 2021). Felt the same way!
I did this hike back in the late 1990s. The first day from Ulverston to Conniston was a horrendous. The day started with light rain and just got worse as the day progressed. I was so exhausted by the time I got to Conniston that only had enough energy to pitch my tent. I was thinking that if the weather stayed like this then I would have to give up. Anyway, I passed out in the door of my tent not having eaten and still fully dressed. I woke the next morning to birds cheerfully singing and the sun bursting bright. It stayed like this for he rest of the hike. Temps were in the high 20s/low 30s for the rest of the trip. I totally agree that the final day into Carlyle was extremely disappointing. But one there, it is a nice town where I spent serval days recovering. Thanks for bringing back the memories!!!!
Yes!! Thomas back doing it as he used to! Great vid Thomas 👍
I got up very early last May to catch the sunrise on Catbells. Just the sheep for company, low mist rolling through the valley on the far opposite shore of Derwent, and a setting dusty red moon in the other direction from a cloudless sky. Absolutely jaw dropping.
Your solo hiking are my favourite videos Thomas Heaton, you achieve more intimacy in your images. Surely there is not distractions. I find many of your videos very helpful. Thanks.
I've been watching your videos for years, but I don't think I've ever commented. All I wanted to say is that you truly inspire me. I've seen you progress, but never really lose who you are. You make, everyone who watches, lives better. Thank you so much.
The end got me going 😂 Great captures and brilliant music selection 👍
I really enjoyed the last 15 seconds. Quite perplexing..... I hope you figured out safe passage.
The very last scene trying to go through that wrought iron gateway with your full backpack cracked me up! Ha!!!!
I've been saving this one for when I could give it my undivided attention. What a treat!
Late to the party, but, Pro Tip: Get those Guy Lines tentioned up! It will seperate the inner and outer layer and shoudl help prevent the inner layer getting wet from the outside! Loved the video!
Great film, thank you for taking us along! About tent condensation - I did the TGO challenge in May (a 2-weeks hike across Scotland with 450 participant) and EVERYONE I met on the way had had condensation problems, regardless of their tent, or even tarp. I also had problems every single night I wild camped and was so surprised to hear it wasn't my tent, but that's the conclusion I came to.. The weather in the UK is really humid and there's only so much to be done about it: airing your tent out during the day is your best bet. To avoid the fly sagging you could consider adding an extra tieout point in the middle of the sagging panel, which you can then tie around one trekking pole (to pull it upwards) and then back to the ground. There's a video on youtube called "DIY bonded tarp pullouts" where you can see how it's done (I swear I don't know the guy who did it and I'm not trying to get him extra views...). However, you might have more difficulty reselling the tent after doing that, perhaps.
Honestly, I don't understand why I'm hooked to this video. No sharp images, no fancy transitions, the "only" photography is far from "absolutely stunning" (where the peak touches the sky on the left side of the image feels a little nervous), just a man hiking on a trail. Love it.
This is what you do best the reason I started watching you all those years ago you make it feel like we are along with you . Glad you didn't cut it up into two videos .
Lmao, the gate at the end, to good. Sorry about the tent, frustrating spending good money on a product that doesn't work proper. Very well done video and thanks for bringing us along
Cheers
Eric
It was so AWESOME seeing Ulverston right at the beginning. That's where I was born. I've been living in Canada now for 44 years. And I do plan on returning to the Lake District for a visit whenever life and money permits.
Wow! Such a great video, Thomas. 44 minutes and not a minute too long. You're a great inspiration 👍
Your latest videos have been so inspiring dude, have the feel of some of your first videos and I LOVE IT. Hiking, exploring and capturing some bsolutely stunning photos.
Exquisite and a real reality check for every landscape photographer. Loving this!
Brilliant brilliant brilliant welcome back Thomas we missed you .
hiking is when you find your soul. Hiking is what later inspires all of us outdoor photographers capture what the eye doesn't usually share...Thanks for the share
As a blind landscape photography who very regularly fulls or twists an ankle I’d say there is definitely a art to fully probability
A very good listen/watch 👍
This was amazing to watch, Thomas! Thanks for bringing us along. Reminiscent of your earlier videos of photography and wild camping that drew me to your channel years ago. So good man!
Actually snort laughed at the last 30 seconds. This is my kind of video. Hiking and more hiking. Love it. 😊👍🏻
Love this vlog Tom, back to the 'old school' and showing us UK locations accessable to most. Just getting out there whether there's a photograph or not is what makes this channel simply great! Love it!
Love this video! THIS is landscape photography. The struggle, the walking, the camping, the awesome nature and one OK photograph. It’s all there. We all know that if you do this often enough , you will be rewarded with great photographs. This is why I’m buying your calendar!
Back to the roots👍🏻. I particularly enjoyed this one as your struggles were really relatable
Love this video 📹 thanks for taking me on this journey.. Made my day.. God bless you 😃
Great journey Thomas. Thank you for bringing us with you in this!
This is the reason I follow you. Raw content, a real sense of adventure. It feels like I'm with you on your hike. Love your content so much. Thanks for what you do!
Just what I needed after three months of quarantine and a long four days working and dreaming of wide open spaces.
This video was pure joy ! And that ending light to gift you with that beautiful image of those mountains was so nice !
Funny ending sequence too !
Keep it up, Thomas, love your spontaneity !
I’ve been waiting for one of these videos. Just an old classic and peaceful vlog in the great British countryside. These types of videos are why I first followed, sure the “big” style away trips are beautiful but these are so much relaxing.
Luxe Hex Peak is the best hiking/photography tent. Loads of room, loads of storage, packs down small, light, can use trekking poles as the pole, can get a 2 man inner.
Doing a long distance trail to get decent images really is a game of chance. You do it primarily for the walk and photography comes second. I did the Pennine Way back in the late 90's before I got into photography and I couldn't even begin to imagine doing it again lugging my gear along. Having said that the trails that go deep into the wilderness could present opportunities that most people would never get.
Nice journey, thanks for taking us along. Looks like that tent didn't have good ventilation. I like the ones with a lot of mesh on the inside to help with the airflow.
You inspire me. Thank you for sharing. As a born Yorkshire man living now in Northern Ireland can't wait to get back and get walk in the beauty that is the dales.
Thank you.
Well done, I can appreciate all the physical and mental effort you put into this, not just the walking but the filming and editing too. Great job, and I can see why you got the camera out for the final image 👍🏻 As for ticks and midges - they are definitely the worst part of summer!!
@12.24 - I remember very well having this moment cycling around Iceland in 2016! I'd dreamt of epic walks on top of my ring-road circuit, finding great angles on the falls and views! The reality was exactly as you mentioned, I was very tired and the idea of detours and additional miles was scuppered by the need to rest!
Really enjoying seeing your older uploads now in 2021, I missed quite a few of these at the time.
This was one of the most relaxing videos I have ever seen on RUclips. I love your patience and thoughful approach to photography and the trail was breathtaking. I hope we can see more of similar type of journeys from you :)
I love the end image😁😁, congratulations for this wonderful trip👍👏👏
Just love it ..
A real hiking adventure..
Reminded of yesteryears
Amazing 😍 I can't wait to get out & enjoy camping again 😁
So nice to watch.... lovely lovely places! Amazing pictures! I feel I could watch it all day long!
We got "absolutely brilliant" and "absolutely gorgeous" comments, but alas, no "absolutely stunning." Oh Thomas, why do you tease us so? Bring it back!
Please, Thomas. Bring back tose absolutely stunning moments! :)
You should definitely do more videos like this Tom. It reminds me of your videos when you first started RUclips. Truly a memoir to the good old days. Thanks for sharing mate and God Bless.
Thomas I will add that this is also my favorite of all of your videos. I just completed a 400 mile cycling trip last week with 6 nights of camping and I could appreciate some of your challenges along with your great attitude about them. Kudos to you.......your videos are really several steps above others on RUclips!
When I watch your videos, and specifically this one I am jealous for the beautiful sites that you pass through, and the joy of just striving for that perfect shot. You really make movies just out of simple hiking!
Tom you're brilliant.
You wear your heart on your sleeve, you keep everything real and don't fib. Enjoyed this from the start to the finish. So jealous. Excellent work.
Yeah so, bye for now! ;)
Very nice, like old Skol Thomas Heaton video. Glad to see you out and about out hiking, camping and enjoy the journey,
Brilliant, simply brilliant.
cracking video Thomas we enjoyed and thanks you for taking us along ...
Great, loved every minute Tom. Back to the old days and why I jumped on in the first place.
I just picked this video up having missed it, wonderful thanks Thomas. In Australia ticks are a serious problem. We use an ointment for scabes to treat ticks. Just apply ointment, leave ant tick is killed almost instantly. Never try to remove without otherwise they release their toxin. Happy walking
I can't wait to watch this!! It's going to be amazing, I know for sure!! *getting popcorn*
Hi Thomas, I love this video, I’m not concerned about the lack of Photography , you have plenty of those videos already. Just following you on this lovely hike made my Sunday morning. Thank you for sharing this!
I have to admit this was one of my favorite videos. Enjoyed watching a multi day hike and some of the issues that you came across your little photography journey.
Glad to see you tackling and completing your first trail. Looks like a cracking route to have followed! A thoroughly enjoyable video. Thank you!
Hi Tom Lad, now I enjoyed that very much. Just like the Tom of old, one man, one little vid camera and nobody else around. No fancy b-roll, no drones and no bloody Square Space!
Great stuff.
Regards,
Dazza. 🇬🇧
For me, that’s the best one in a while. More adventures like this please.
Brilliant.
Yeeees old Skool vlog bloody brilliant to have a blast from the past type of video. The hiking and camping with photography was the reason I got started , inspiring stuff so thank you....oh and more of these please!
Loved this video of yours Thomas. Thanks for sharing your hike and camping. Well done on the walk!
I love the combination of camping and photography. It’s good to see it back
Amazing work, amusing, informative, an easy enjoyable watch, as usual, thanks.
Awesome, I got out this summer and went camping, but watching this I want to get out to camp again before summer is over.
Oh, the end is just perfect. Hilarious. Cheers, Thomas.
Fantastic work Thomas.. This is my favorite style of your video collection, you, the elements, your camera and inspiration. Just awesome!
One of your very best videos. I can only reiterate what others have said; these kinds of videos are the reason I started watching you channel (I think I've watched the 'Solo Wild Camping & Landscape Photography on Location' video about six times. It's the back-to-basics UK-based videos that I enjoy the most, and the ones I'm most likely to watch. Best wishes - Alistair.
Absolutely Beautiful. Missed last 1 months contents. Now watching it all together. Thank you very much.
This is the best video of yours that I’ve seen in quite a long while. Thanks for the adventure Tom.
Loved this Tom. Hiking & shooting = a few days well spent.
“Light is a wonderful thing!”... I’m going to quote that!
Just finished (2 hours ago) 3 weeks backpacking and photography trip through Carpathian mountains in Ukraine. Relaxing in accommodation and waiting for my "bear and burger". Thank you Thomas for film.
Haven't finished watching video, but I already feel all your pain, disappointment and struggle. I felt 100% the same all this 3 weeks of my hike.
The last few seconds alone would have made the video worthwhile! Great job again, thanks.
GREAT to see you back out there backpacking and exploring. I do also like your van adventures, but these are my favorite of yours :-)
Have a great day Thomas, and be safe out there!
Hangs4Fun and where was his F-Stop backpack he just did a video on? That looked like his Osprey backpack?
@@chrischristian7561I have been loving my F-Stop Shinn backpack. It's the only pack I've ever owned where I can carry all my backpacking gear along with filming and photography gear (and that includes a big 600 wildlife lens or full 3 axis motion controller setup for high res motion time lapses.
I was really wanting see how that smaller 50L F-Stop worked for him
Your own conclusion towards the end around 42 mins of less distance and more time for exploring is my favorite. I find anytime I HAVE to be somewhere and there is a certain amount of distance to travel, that I dont enjoy it as much. Sometimes my best photos and experiences come from the exploring along the way. So over the years I have learned to put more value on the journey and allow time to explore versus having some end point or schedule to keep
Absolutely stunning!
That’s the way to go, more of that Mr. Heaton 😃
Thanks sharing your long hike. Lovely lights on the second photo. 👌
44 min? That’s a movie you gave us today! I loved it! Peaceful and contemplative somehow, appreciate the moment without taking picture or having an image in mind is great too :)
Hiking, camping and the occasional bit of photography.....great video.
what a great video! MORE of this please!!!! This is like original Heaton!
Brilliant vlog Thomas brought back memories of my wild camp at top of Catbells although I got lucky with sunset and sunrise . Hope you do more with this content or out in the van
Favourite video so far. Image at 38:55 is just amazing. Really cool seeing the ins and outs of trips like this
Great to see you back doing what you do best. Welcome back to your home/niche/fan base.
Once again, thanks for sharing!
I’m 2 days in 😅 what an epic journey you’re on. Love it 👍
