A short hike up from Old Dungheon Ghyll through the National Trust Car Park and up to Side Pike for a wild camp. Just 30 minutes to get up there for superb views of the Langdale Pikes, Bowfell, Crinkle Crags and Blea Tarn.
As I said in the video, look below to the just giving page if you’d like to donate to the Duddon and Furness MRT

Great and informative video mate. Still yet to visit this spot think I'll be doing this on my next camp with the little one fingers crossed we get it to ourselves. 👍

You should be ok. Thankfully it’s not one of the “hotspots”. If you were unlucky though, you could always push on a little bit further up to Lingmoor Fell which should also have some places to put a tent.

Lovely video Dave, just goes to show you don't always need to climb mountains to enjoy great views!👍👍

Yeah there are plenty to be fair. I watched your Bannerdale Crags video recently, it's on my list.

Hiya mate, I think you’ve hit the nail on the head with the views and ease of access, talk about 360° views !!! Them drone shots really showed off the area !! The bare feet are defo a game changer, everything you mentioned and the pack ability of them Nice one for the shout out to,I think we’re on 92 summits with £3200 raised with a month to go, so we’re looking good, I’ve just given you a sub, I thought I already was though. So not sure what’s happened there Catch you soon Atb Alan

i actually just did my first trip very similar to this. it was in Conwy a couple weekends ago. fuuuucking miserable looool! rained the entire time and the wind was insane but people have asked if i would do it again...ive said 100% yes. i learned alot during my trip and i think it was great to be smacked in the face by the weather on my first time to really see how much i liked it or did not like it.

It’s a pretty unique feeling when you’re out there. Getting out in some bad weather can be surprisingly fun, it’s all good experience at the end of the day!

It’s a good one for anyone mate, but yeah especially if you’re finding your feet 👍🏻
