Solo Angle Tarn Wild Camp In The Lake District
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 авг 2024
- In 2018 I walked the Wainwright's Coast to Coast trail. It is just over 210 miles and took me 10 days. Along the way I passed by Angle Tarn, a beautiful body of water sat above Patterdale and Hartstop.
The spot is a popular place for wild camping, and when I walked passed I saw a number of tents pitched up. It was in that moment that I decided that I too would one day wild camp at Angle Tarn. And so, on the 17th June 2021, I woke up on its shores alone, celebrating my 25th birthday in the mountains.
The rest of the day saw me walk over Rest Dodd, The Knott, High Street, and Thornthwaite Beacon. It was a wonderful day to hike in the Lakeland Fells!

Stay WILD!
Right now I'm having mental issues had them for years been watching you for about a week And I have ordered some gear And I'm going to start doing little walks and camps Because I'm 54 Thought I had nothing and nowhere but I was wrong ❤❤❤ I was wrong I have everything and everywhere Spent the last of my money not living on my sister's couch anymore thank you
I just had my birthday. I'm old enough to be your grandmother and have mobility issues. So sharing this beautiful trip was a great present for me. Thanks Abbie!
❤️
❤️
Happy belated bday Susan!
Well I remember your C2C walk and the regret you had not camping there. I am so glad you got there. Well done. A personal achievement for you
When I watch your videos Abbie, I find myself smiling all the way through, you give off such a positive energy and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Happy Birthday! I think I saw you in the area a couple of days after you filmed this! A mate and I were walking the C2C and as we passed my mate said “I’m sure we’ve just passed Abbie Barnes!” I said “You’re seeing things! She doesn’t come up here much, She hangs about down South!” Looks like I was wrong! Stay safe and strong. 😉😀
I adore your videos, and I admire your honesty... Thank you! I couldn't find an emoji of a birthday cake - Sorry!
Happy belated birthday Abbie
All the way from Kuala Lumpur
I watch all your videos
I hope to be able to walk with you
............one day
Happy birthday Abbie. Oh to be 25 again.
What a fantastic sunset.
You really are an inspiration to people. You are also very brave to be so open about your mental health.
Wish I was young enough to go wild camping and to get my son there as well. He has just done his bronze DoE.
Now for the geek bit of me. The aircraft you saw was Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey a very apt name for you being in the great outdoors. I'm a keen model builder which I do to keep me sane, a get away from the stress of modern life.
I did take Adam up Catbells (easy walk, but very busy) 6 or 7 years ago and he (and me) loved it.
Love watching your videos.
Best wishes, Mark
Never stop fighting the fear. Particularly when you feel overwhelmed, vulnerable and disassociated from the world around you. I find it difficult to differentiate between the exhilaration and euphoria of being immersed in nature and the anxiety and panic brought on by doubt in my ability to extricate myself from potential disaster.
Thanks for another brilliant video and a belated happy birthday.
Happy Birthday 🎉 25 was a hard one for me also. Thinking a quarter of a century, now I'm almost 60. Many happy years ahead to you!
snap!
Oh Abbie i think we are all complicated messes. Some just hide it. You share your ups and downs and help us know we are not alone with our struggles. I really really hope you realise how much your videos mean. And how much they help. Apart from being super beautiful and informative the emotional part to me is even more Important. A year later I hope you had a wonderful 25th birthday. Sending virtual hugs I think you are very amazing.
Abbie you’re big superpower is being one of the nicest people in RUclips Wild Camping! 😊👍🏻
Hi Abbey, Happy Birthday. I was at the tarn a few days before you, it’s a small world! I was hiking the first half of the Coast to Coast and also camped down in Patterdale. Before I left to go on the hike I was suffering terribly with anxiety and my mental health. I decided not to camp at the tarn due to my fears so precooked the campsite. After reaching the tarn the follow day I had the same thought, one day I’m going to wild camp here. It good to know that we are not alone in our thoughts and many others share the same struggles, feelings and thoughts. It’s good to break that silence and Shari ring you experiences is refreshing and something to celebrate. I should say that the five days I completed has had such a positive impact upon me and I came back with a very different mindset to when I went. Thank you so much for sharing,
One of your best ever films. I smiled and cried. Thanks for bringing the wild when needed.
Happy Birthday Abbie. I had similar anxiety's about getting out and camping. You are an inspiration. x
Thank you very much for the video. Again it is pure therapy. At least for me. And this filter is a great tip.
This video really spoke to my heart. Like you, I need nature to fill me up when I’m drained. Thanks for all you do and for sharing your thoughts.
This was my first solo wild camping spot! Fab spot, and it was comforting as quite a few other wild campers around when I went. Lovely to have a chat to a few of them when I went and I had a fantastic sunset.
I 100% agree, getting into nature is so empowering, I feel so alive, exhilarated & at peace out there. I live the working week by planning & looking forward to the next time we’re out on the fells, It’s the only thing I think about.
Yup I'm in the hiking honeymoon phase, I love everything about hiking and climbing. Apart from the ferns. I hate the ferns.
I just wanted to thank you for sharing this experience. I've been thinking about lately about taking my son, who has has special educational needs, ADHD & autism amongst other things, on a wild camping trip. He loves the outdoors and camping (albeit usually on a more traditional campsite) and I wasn't sure how he'd feel about wildcamping.
However, after watching your video, I sat with my son and we watched it together and he can't wait to go to Angle Tarn!
I'd watched quite a few videos, and they were more about what kit you should have etc etc but your video was more about the experience, and that's what me and my son will be going for.
So thank you. We'll definitely be there at some point over the summer, and I suspect it won't just be a one time thing.
Just watched this over New Year. Reflected on walking Coast to Coast in 2014. Some 49 years after my first climb up to Angle Tarn.
Love your videos.. Keep doing it.
good for you girl!! I'm watching this on 01,07,21 and i turn 55 in the morning, i wouldn't of even felt happy parking in that lay by! subscribed and liked,,, chase your dreams and enjoy every moment
Happy Birthday Abbie .
Coincidentally we stayed on a small campsite local to us 2 weekends back , where they had Alpacas which we fed .
I've not wild camped up at Angle Tarn myself - With a new tent just ordered , I'll make it the next place I pitch up for an overnighter in the hills .
Another great adventure in the Lake District Abbie , the clouds lifted in more ways than one . Thanks for the wonderful video . Take care .
I’m going wild camping next week in the Lakes but as it will be my first time I’m doing it with an arranged women only group! I can’t wait until you start arranging group hikes again as I will definitely partake. Happy belated birthday!
Well done you. I'm lucky to call Cumbria my home, and though I'm a good deal older still feel those anxieties you speak of. Cumbria is my birth home though I have worked professionally in the outdoors my greatest joy is solo backpacking in my own beautiful homelands. Nothing brings that inner happiness of watching the sun go down on a hard won day or waking to a new day where the choices are ours alone. Keep on keeping on, and just breath it all in.
What a lovely ramble, thanks Abbie 👍
Love the fact that you weren't under time pressure.
Everything in this video is so beautiful and uplifting. Happy birthday, Abbie. Thanks for sharing such a wonderful place, both in the mountains and in your heart. There will be many more for you, I am sure. You should make this a birthday tradition!
Escapism. Thats what i love about this. Relaxing and enjoyable to watch.
Happy birthday! You are amazing. It is beautiful what you do and tell us. You are doing it! Be proud and happy.
You're an amazing host and guide. Keep up the fantastic work.
Beautiful video. Thank you Abbie and happy belated birthday x
Fantastic video, very inspirational, keep up the good work.
Abbie this place is ridiculously picturesque! A real gem of a place. Loved that sunset too. Your coast to coast was an amazing achievement for you. I've never seen anybody cover so many miles before ever not even the other walkers I watch on RUclips,channels like John Rogers,Tom Outdoors and Day Tripper. Mind you though John Rogers did do 32 miles once and Tom Outdoors has completed the South or North Downs path can't remember which one it is. If you get the chance to watch any other walkers on RUclips I can't highly recommend those channels I've mentioned. I also watch Ladmob too but he does more live streams than anything else. Sorry for the essay 😆😆😆. Great video! And Happy Birthday!
Abbie fantastic video well done !! myself and my mate are waling the Hadrians wall on the 16th july 2 weeks time looking forwqrd to it great video catch you later lee
So so so happy for your!! What an accomplishment !! Been following your solo camping attempts and I am exactly like you! And it feels soooo unbelievably great if one is able to push through ones fears! My success this year was going on the St James Way solo, camping (but on campsites) with the aim of being able to wildcamp soon! I live in the middle of the French Alps and it would be so easy here but my unreasonable fears are holding me back. Seeing this gives me so much energy and courage and hope that Ill be able to overcome my fears at some point, too!
Happy Birthday. I love the Lake District and have always wanted to wild camp at Angle Tarn. I really enjoy your videos, thanks for making them.
Happy belated birthday. Your words on your birthday eve brought a tear to my eye I will not deny. I applaud your courage and hope you find eternal peace one day.
This is amazing :) I was literally in Glenridding on 17th after coming down from High Street the night before, in the Lakes for the first time in 2 years! I wish I could have bumped into you to wish you Happy Birthday and tell you how much I appreciate your videos!
Happy Birthday Abbie, another beautiful video with amazing scenery. Thanks x
🥳A belated Happy Birthday to you Abbie! A quarter of a century milestone, in your power spot and feeling right.
Turned 60yrs on the 27th and enjoyed a very nice park walk too (not as glorious and wild, yet out of doors!). 💌
I did Catbells, High Moor, High Spy and Dale Head Tarn while you were doing that! So awesome to think you were fellwalking the same day as me!
When nature rewards you with a stunning sunset and a beautiful morning and day like that, you know you've made the right decision.
Birthdays are like when you gathered enough experience points and you level up. Ding!
Happy Birthday Abbie and congratulations on facing your fears. The definition of courage.
She is so inspiring to me!
Happppy birthday. Abbie. U did it .tqke it easy. Enjoy love smile make memories and keep sharing and caring
Well done! So wonderful to share this joy with you. I so relate to you and your challenges, thank you for your channel and your commitment! ❤️❤️
I did my first solo wild camp in the lake district on the 7th June, spent 3 days in the mountains started in Ennerdale lake, visited Scarfell pike and accidently ended up in Buttermere then back into Ennerdale :D. Loved it and planning future trips, even when I was drenched through and exhausted on the last day :)
It’s so good to see you solo again.
Just watch your vid Abbie. I've quite old now 😁 but you are a inspiration to everyone. Thank you. Im letting work take over me with working all time and weekends . . Luckily enough to be offered a more steady job this week and look forward to what I love . Thank you.
What a lovely video abbie.. And the quality was exceptional.. You must take inspiration from all this.. after all it's all your own work..effort and creation your very gifted.. So thanks for taking us up there with ya.. Ps you looked so emotional tucking into that first chip.."Stay wild abbie" 👏🙏💐🍻
As a hay fever sufferer I cringed when you sniffed the elderflower! Great video!
Happy birthday we nearly met . Was at same place as you . Beautiful place Lakes district. We have to learn to share it . Staycations meaning it's a lot busier
You above all "own your life" you have demonstrated that in your vlog with perfect clarity and detail. Your message to others to understand, take on board and overcome what seems to be an increasingly understood and frequent malady is both brave and caring. Without louding off about my earlier experiences of stress etc I absolutely agree about the healing powers of the outdoors for human kind in general. May your journey be blessed with all comfort. I think you are on to a winner with attitude life is so fleeting. Nice post and take care.
Thank you so much to share your ways with us. Wish you all the best!
Loved this video! What a beautiful place to wake up to on your birthday! Well done for braving the wild camping and I hope your Penny memories brought you more joy than sadness. Thanks Abbie x
A belated Happy Birthday Abbie and, great that you did 'exactly ' what you wanted to do. Good on you !!
Happy Belated Birthday 🎂
Sure glad your on this Earth and sharing the outdoors with us
Happy Birthday Abbie :) So glad I was able to spent it with you through this video and hope to hike with you one day!
Hi I get the Birthday thing mine was 16th june I was cycling the liverpool to leeds canal overnight. Well done on your channel we enjoying your hiking very much. Cheers Will
Happy birthday, Abbie! I am just watching this now and am truly enjoying it. You look so happy. Your work is really taking an effect coz now I'm itching for a hike.
Inspirational as always Abbie. Mother nature gave you a spectacular sunset as a present. The outdoors is, as you say the best tonic for any issue. Be kind to yourself and a belated happy birthday.
Glad to see that you're still producing your good stuff Abbie! I lost my dog last week and have dropped from three walks a day to vegetating. Looking to your films for motivation.
Stay strong Mike.
Sad news, hope you’re able to get out and get some exercise soon 🤗
Sending love 😢
I am so sorry to hear that!. Always stay strong!
happy 26th birthday which you will be celebrating. enjoy yourself! God bless you.
Great wild camp and walk Abbie. If you'd gone down the ridge from Thornthwaite Crag you could have ticked off Gray Crag on the way, and the ridge is a lovely walk.
Also Hayeswater is a tarn now and was formally a reservoir, the history is, it was dammed in 1908 to provide water for Penrith, and was returned to a tarn in 2014. Lovely seeing you enjoy your birthday wild camp at Angletarn. I'm planning to camp there when I purchase a tent. I can't wait.
Peace Andy H
Thankyou so much for sharing your journey, you have inspired me so much, please keep shareing you're other stories, angela
This was so lovely. It was nice you didn't need to hurry and could take it in and of course the scenery was first class.
Aw, love these! i have a daughter of Abbie's age which makes me feel all protective lol
Happy Birthday Abbie from Australia. Superb filming, looks a lovely trip. You are such an inspiration. 😊👍
I just cried at ur speach of being out feeling free like the skylarks cos I feel the same way too...
A sight to behold!
Sorry.. Happy belated birthday wishes to you Abbie . Forgive me as I should have said this at the beginning of my previous.
Congratulations I hope it was all you wished for ... Happy days 🥳
What a fantastic thing to find on my lunch break! :D Love it!
Happy Birthday Abbie 🤗🌻
Ah, lovely video. Familiar territory for me. Years ago I devised my own ‘Tour of the Lakes’ and where you turned down to Patterdale we continued up - John Bells Banner? (I’m sure someone will correct me if I’m misremembering) - and over to Hartsop Dodd before dropping (I use the word advisedly) into Patterdale. I’ve also mastered that yoga move you did at the beginning - I think you’ll find it’s is known as the ‘Whoaaa-arrgggh’!
Another excellent video Abbie. Great videography and meaningful commentary. Amazing lighting as sun illuminated the mountains in profile..wow. Well done again 👍
What a beautiful walk. Thanks for being with you!
It's cool you got into nature so young. I was 26 when i got into getting out and about sorted me right out.
Bless you Girlie, I'm completely with you... there's a reason they call it god's country, I've been visiting since the age of 13 on Duke of Edinburgh 42 years on still obsessed....
Happy birthday Abbie, thanks for all your inspiring and motivating content!
Happy Happy Birthday Abbie, may you have many more B-day to come, and Mountain to Climb! :P Cheers!
Great video Abbie. I fully understand that feeling of freedom whilst out on the trail and I've walked nowhere near as far as you! (I'm changing that !) I am truly at peace with myself when outdoors.
Happy birthday too!! 🎂🌸
Absolutely gorgeous views! ❤
your videos are a inspiration to me to get out in the wild outdoors. i'm ready to go, all packed and heading of to walk the gritstone trail. hoping to wild camp or find a campsite as this is my first overnight and solo. anticipation and nervousness feeling right now so up early on the 30.06.21 and last minute checks to do.
I know I am a bit late, but happy birthday. And just remember, the next time you are feeling low, you have already achieved more than most people have in a much longer time on this earth.
Happy belated birthday 😄 Great video! Thanks for uploading. I camped at red tarn 4 week ago. (beautiful sunrise) I was thinking of going again this week but I may go up to angle tarn now 😀
Abbie, you are bloody brilliant 👍
A late happy birthday to you. You did a smashing job all alone, nerves of steel, well done. X
not very wild, but for months i've been sitting in front of the tv doing nothing. This morning I walked out to the fields behind my small town(norfolk) because I was feeling grumpy and had to walk it out of me. You got me thinking about tents and camping gas and stuff like that. I used to walk in the lakes and I miss it. I hope i can do something, but in anycase, thankyou for your channel, it chears me up at times. Kind regards, Dave x
Happy Birthday! Great video again, Angle Tarn is a lovely location to camp.
Hi , I celebrated my birthday 27 June finishing the South Downs way, what a time to celebrate my birthday out in the wild, one I’ll never forget. Lovely video again and happy birthday 🎂 to you
Happy birthday Abbie! Keep going!
You are 27 now so happy belated 25th and happy 27th for last June. Really enjoying your blogs. I’ve just bought my first tent at 53 yrs and looking forward to some wild camping. Probably start in Dartmoor since I’m a Southerner. I’ve been inspired. Looking forward to some outdoor therapy. Bless your heart Abbie ❤
Enjoy! And thanks for the bday wishes!
I absolutely LOVE your videos.
you are an absolute inspiration, Abbie
As always Abbie - feels as if I am there too. It feels like I am walking thorugh life alongside you with these Films and it is a very gracious & inspiring thing. Thank You Abbie. Stay Safe.
Me and a friend stayed overnight at angle tarn on our coast-to-coast hike... watching the sunset over patterdale and the valley was amazing. However, the next morning was like waking up in a aerodynamics tunnel... Great video!
⛺️❤️⛺️ thanks for another great video
Amazing video. Hope you know how much your helping people.
What an amazing way to spend your birthday. I'm trying to get to that point myself. I have had a lot of loss in our family. 4 in the past 2 years. I feel so broken sometimes. I think I'm still a ways off from doing any camping. focusing instead on getting out more regularly into nature. It really does help.
At that red squirrel sign, we actually saw a red squirrel a few years ago. So excited!
Glad you had such a fabulous trip and wonderful weather too!
Happy birthday 💚
Always with you x
Happy belated birthday. Beautiful video
Thank you for this great video! You gave me some ideas for my hiking trip to the Lake District district this coming June 2022. ❤️
Watched this on my 45th birthday and so much of what you said resonated with me. Thank you, and happy belated birthday! :)
