EXTREME Frozen Solo Winter Bivi Camp
Рет қаралды 38,566
Күн бұрынMy first trip out in my Rab Storm bivi on a solo wild camp on the West Pennine Moors. Walked from home on a changeable spring day that ended up looking like full winter conditions on Great Hill at 1250ft asl. Stunning views to the mountains of Snowdonia and an amazing sunset and sunrise. Only my second ever bivi camp but really enjoyed it.
Many thanks for watching - Dave

Hey Dave, I do remember watching this one before when you first put it out. It really is so beautiful up there. I mountain bike there alot, and Ive never seen such a beautiful sunrise, it was stunning. I watched all your local walks during lockdown, and you really kept me going . Those days thankfully are far behind us. You are an inspiration to so many of us Dave. Still number one ❤

Great upload as per usual.
