Spectacular video Dave! I really don't blame you for not camping. Fair play Dave for walking in that brutal storm. The storm made the walk more difficult for you, but the effort was well worth it. It's good that you had the lochain all to yourself. What a lovely rainbow. Thanks for sharing, take care, Jordan.

I love mine. Strong, easy pitching and you certainly won’t be missed in it! 😂

apart from the slope, the pitch is good, a little shelter with the rocks and all that scenery and water (if its fresh). i dunno ow many ive climbed or how any, i just went and walked.

Great video per usual Dave, it would be great if you could do a vid on all your gear and what you take up on a wild camp

I enjoy your videos Dave....it's always a rewarding struggle hiking up these hills :-) I can shed some light on the non-existent path. In case you didn't know, Public Rights of Way (green dashes) may have been added to the map from old inaccurate historical descriptions. They're often not paths on the ground. Some go off cliffs and are definitely best avoided. The one you were following has no small black dashes marking a real path. Often a red flag. Notice how unusually straight it is too. Normally our paths wiggle a little as they find the easiest line over the contours. Great Gable has several PRoWs marked on it which aren't paths at all. PRoWs do get people into trouble. GPS receivers make it easy to accurately follow a line on the map. Less experienced hikers than you will press on even when the ground gets dangerous. Keswick MRT have been called out to the same PRoW three times in two weeks.

Magnificent video Dave! This is the most beautiful winter scenery I've seen so far. The Cairngorms offered you a ticket to Winter Wonderland, and of course it was an offer you can't refuse. Well done for reaching the summit of Ben Macdui. Astonishing views of Scotland. Thanks for sharing, take care, Jordan.

Great video as ever, can’t wait until you as a gourmet utuber make the transition to a soft boiled egg and soldiers 😂 ATB

Watched every 1 of your videos they are quality please don't change. Look at football its boring but mass viewing

Did that route up to Whiteside in April, lost the path at exact point you did too😂 leave the channel as before would be my advice.. maybe too many videos in Scotland and your core support is the Lakes possibly…could be a reason viewing figures dropped off..

I miss the chicken sh*t Golden Globe. But as long as a tent does what it's supposed to do, I guess the colour isn't really important.

Dave your a KZfaq natural😂😂😂, na keep doing what you do best mate❤⛰️☕️🍷👍

brilliant mate , awesome as always , you definitely picked a good beer to review 👍 I don't think you need to be cooking and reviewing to bring us great content , keep the great videos coming

Apart from the colour😂

Keep the vids coming mate (your videos, what you always do, THE SOLO SUMMiTEER!!) that’s what your subscribers want, myself included. Your crap at the cooking pal, you needed to do 2 eggs not one 😉😂😂 🥚 🥚 ATB & take care, Dave

theres no way am wild camping in that, witth another lower than freezing night to come, now, if there was a Bothy..... that would be nice.

Hi Dave brilliant video as always keep them coming mate, soon as they pop up I can’t wait to watch them,superb cooking 👍, I love a beer but you have the best saying on you tube a brew with a view, get it printed on some merchandise 😂👍

Never underestimate nature weather change blink of eye. Peroni top beer. Scenery footage all videos quality. 😊

i know what its like climbing with hardly any sleep, i did the 3 UK peaks challeng, 25 years ago. Snowdon wasnt a bother, but i started to feel it after driving up (i wasnt driving thankfully and none of the other climbers were), then Ska Fell Pike was a bit of a slog and then Nevis, that id never done before, was a massive uphill challenge, yes, deliberate pun, this over 3 days. man, i needed my own bed after that, thankfully we had rented a cabin. the drivers were along for the party, well they were there for a emergency, being serious, as we had a inexperinced couple with us.

What does it matter what other people think, we waste too much collective energy on something that at the end of the day doesn't mean a jot to oneself , as I once said to a colleague at work who was grinding my gears, " Your opinion of me or what I do is of no business of mine!" Keep doing what you're one of the best at Dave,all your true followers love you for that! Loved the sarcasm in this vid, and your dry northern humour it's precisely that which sets you apart from the rest of the camping fraternity. Keep at it you Ol'Darwener. ATB Michael. 😊🏕🥾👊

We really enjoyed this video. We've walked from Grasmere to Borrowdale over Ullscarf . Wr always head for Dock Tarn. Great to see Blea Tarn.We wondered what it was like. Amazing viewpoint. We don't camp , only in a caravan, but it's really interesting to hear about the various tents. Brilliant x

You had me at the Peroni 🥰 and lost me at the boiled egg 😂. Gastro level cooking skills. You do you and don’t worry about others. Stick what makes you happy. You don’t need another tent 😂. I picked up three plastic bottles last Sunday along the same ridge line. It’s that time of year; those leave every tracers and the muppets on tour driving around the Lakes. Two cars can fit over skelwith bridge but not if you are in the middle bridge. Another 3 weeks and it’ll will be back to you and the Fells. (And all of us locals !). Those car bills sound expensive but having my youngest back from Uni and living with us in the Lakes is just as expensive!!! Till next time. Your cover page needs a headline like “Solo the Dead Reckoning Part” loads of YT views. Also, the infinity pools, you do know someone did fall last week ? Went to grab his partner who had slipped and took a tumble. Bring back the Rioja wine. Not long and brew with a view will be back 👍

Cracking video mate! Nice chilled out camp, personally I think your one of the best KZfaqrs for this there is, too many try and copy each other and come up with the same stuff where yours is unique and for a full hour I can sit and watch and enjoy it as though I was out on a camp too. Keep them coming mate

Your videos are great Dave ! Please don’t change your style

Dave your a utuber now mate can’t wait to boil my eggs now bud 🤣🤣 keep doing what you do mate 👊

Grow up you sound like a child carrying silly toy sheep that’s the problem

i know this place and not from your videos. id just drink the wine anyway!!

👋🏼

‘Cracking’ video Dave.. 🥚 Enjoyed watching mate. 👍🏼

WHAT YOUR DOING NO ONE ELS IS AND ITS BRILLIANT , DONT CHANGE . Its a relief watching you because its real .do it cos you love it i will keep watching .

😂👍 proper KZfaqr ✅. I have always really enjoyed your channel for the hikes and the views. To be honest, I don’t watch channels that all do the same thing. When I think of a proper KZfaqr I think of someone who produces a quality video every week because it’s how they actually make their living. Which seems near impossible to me 😂. Especially if you want to continue loving what you do. However, KZfaq can be a fun hobby! Always enjoy your uploads. ATB

I’ve forgotten my drone controller at least 3-times on my videos… pretty frustrating ey! Dave you’re the only ‘proper’ KZfaqr I’ve met personally. Trends come and go, and then come again. Just keep riding the wave and will start to swing upwards again sooner or later. All the best for now!

Keep being an improper KZfaqr Dave 👍🙂

Dave, you are a dafty 😂 Love your channel because you keep it real with a sprinkling of dry sarcasm and showing us the beauty and the reality of your hikes. You are the epitome of what a ‘proper’ KZfaqr should be 😊

“Should I become a proper KZfaqr?” Your sarcasm is so refreshing in a world of KZfaq banality. As I have said before, keep doing what you love, we love it too.

Dave do you do it for the journey and the experiences that come with it, or to grow your channel? Boiling an egg and drinking italian shite larger i think is an experiment gone wrong. And your probably laughing. And probably bored because you know the landscspe like back of your hand. May be share your tents with others so they can share their tents with you. So probably leave the real ale to Wild about wales he does real ale real whisky and real wales Keep smiling See you in the next one Peter and lucky the Boxer dog

Nice one Dave always look forward to your videos

Thanks for sharing Dave. Another great video. Your channel is a proper KZfaq channel. No gimmicks, just you being your normal self..you just get on with things and tell us how it is. Perhaps a title of “ I fell off the top of a waterfall and broke both my legs” or “ My tent pole broke...so I called Mountain Rescue” would get more views but this just isn’t you. Both the above have happened in The Lake District in the last 2 weeks...some absolute bone heads around at the moment 😂

You don't need to do anything different to your videos.We think they are perfect.Cooking and beer reviews not needed.We love the places you camp and get to with very adventurous routes up unusual gullys and steep sections.Its amazing and no_one does it like you.Thanks for all your videos.We watch them all. Hope you get more views, you deserve it.

Congratulations on becoming a proper KZfaqr Dave 😂😂😂

Hilarious, Dave, great stuff! It's a cracking ridge.... once you get up there after what seems an endless slog. Jamie Oliver eat your heart out! Although never mind getting a bit adventurous with a boiled egg, get stocked up with dark chocolate Bounty Bars and then you're talking! LOL I agree with the serious message though, about people ruining places, partly because they don't know what they're doing and don't care about the countryside and think it's okay for other people to clear up after them. I like your idea about an 'easy' one... as you head up a vertical ghyll side! 🤣
