I'm a bit of a foodie and I like my wine too! Thanks for the sub 👍

Great to hear, any questions just ask 👍

Cheers 👍

You can’t go wrong, it’s a cracking tent and 10/10 value for money!

You'll be amazed how much space is inside the CP2, plus the 2 vestibules. Great to know the Banshee lasted that long!

Thank you 👍

Just a tad! It wasn't too bad but it was a shame the wind chill was so cold, especially for mid-June.

Thanks 🙏

Thanks Jenny 👍

No worries, thanks for watching!

Cheers Mark 👍

Mid June, good forecast and you still need winter gear in the Lakes! 🤦🏻‍♂️

@@BackpackingUK always be prepared 🙂👍

@@BackpackingUK this year has no doubt been a very cold year if I'm honest ... and I'd of used my 4 season sleeping in the mountains still ....hoping to hit Wales in a couple of weeks, I've a few tents ... but my tent I'm loving at the moment yep it's heavy but the Berghaus Grampian 2 is one solid tent and warm, I've also got the lanshan 2 in yellow and that's brilliant for summer .. I've also got the Hiker 2 from decathlon which is good tent, tents I've had in the past was a North Face VE25 but summer you'd cook inside it .. so lighter and cheaper tents I've been using and I've done well in them , Berghaus Grampian 2 is awesome for a base tent for winter Scottish ice climbing and I've loved it in -8 conditions with no issues... looking forward to your next hike and camp... I've got a good one in Wales with a proper balcony camp ... with great view's 👍.. watched a few of your vids and enjoyed them very much .. well done.. hoping to get vids on my channel soon .. 🙏

Cheers Jason 👍

Just glad to be alive 😂 Got to say the Salomon’s are great for scrambling, you can really trust them.

@@BackpackingUK Yeah, I bet you are. Can be done though you said.

Thanks so much! 👍

When you’re up there you can see why it’s so popular!

Thanks so much. Get out there and have a great time 😁

I ride MTB too (Trek Procalibre 9.7). I do a bit of racing in the east so it's a hardtail. Can't beat a bit of downhill though!!!

@@BackpackingUK Haha I had you down as an XC rider. I'm all for the dicking about in teh woods. I have a fun hardtail (Marin San Quantin 3), a more boring Specialized Rockhopper and a full sus trail bike from Whyte. But the Marin gets most of the riding and that's the one I carried up Helvellyn a 2 years back.

That little jacket saved the day! I can’t believe how good it was at blocking the wind and it kept the chill off. When it was warmer the next day I had the vents open and it worked really well in totally different conditions. Really impressed!

Cheers Matt 👍

😂

I’d try somewhere around Lingmell 👍

@@BackpackingUK thanx mate👍

It's a huge seller and that's partly because of the reputation it has. Its a 3+ season tent so just don't expect it to handle the weather like the Allak 2 it's based on!

@@BackpackingUK Cheer budd for the reply. your food looked great, even for a veggie like me...

I've got a new Lav mic to try for next time 👍

@@BackpackingUK apparently there are rare fish in Red tarn. Skellies I believe. I'd love to fish it one day. Hope the new mic works good as the video was so cool. Thank you

I’ve literally just purchased a Lav but I forgot to take it with me. Sound quality should be better for the next one but it’s never going to be perfect when the wind is so strong!

100% 😂

My thoughts: Mongar 2 - perfect for good weather, the cheapest here, it is a really nice shape and size and light too. Cloud Peak 2 - performs better in the rain and wind, excellent value for money, it's a nice big tent and weighs 2.5kg all in. Elixir 2 - probably the best in the poor conditions, really well made, the most expensive here, nice shape and size but it weighs 2.77kg all in. It really depends on what you want to use it for. They are all good tents but be mindful the Mongar 2 isn't great when there is a chilly wind in the air.

@@BackpackingUK Thanks Andy. Really helpful 👍

We parked up at Glenridding. It's a really nice place with shops, cafe's, pubs! etc.

@@BackpackingUK ah ok cool, so does the main car park do overnight parking?

From memory I think you can pay by an app so we topped it up first thing in the morning. I've got a feeling a day ticket expires midnight but we had no problems parking there overnight.

Half my content never makes it to the final video because of wind noise!

It comes with the guy lines and pegs for the additional guy points on each corner. It wasn’t windy enough to warrant putting them on. The Cloud Peak 2 is really sturdy.

@@BackpackingUK yeah I’ve got the tent not had a chance to use it. I’ve purchased some thicker guylines for it

I had to bang them in with a stone but my pitch was really close to the shoreline. The BEST spot is on the other side, there’s a little stone wall with room for one tent (red tent in video). You can see the sun rise from there too! Someone pitched there really early which is a bit naughty but I can see why.

@@BackpackingUK thankz mate

@@BackpackingUK can u drink that tarn water with a tablet in .

I drunk it without a filter or tablet but I was taking the water just by the stream coming into the tarn. Haven’t died yet 😁

@@BackpackingUK great stuff cheers

We were a bit 50:50 about there being enough room. Glad we didn't now, thanks for sharing 👍

@@BackpackingUK you need to do it though its a great site, climbing from the bottom is not great with a backpack on
