Probably the Most Dangerous Hike and Wild Camp Anyone Has Ever Done. Ever.

A mildly entertaining hiking and wild camping video. Probably both the most and least perilous hiking and wild camping video ever made. Make of that what you will. Don’t abuse the landscape and don’t forget to LNT. Also, I never ate my hat.

A day and night car camping and hiking in the Lake District UK. This time in the Eastern fells, in search of the infamous Priest's Hole. Nestled high on Dove Crag, and with the views it affords, we discovered why so many people Camp up there. This video shows the most simple way of accessing it. We also went on to summit Fairfield and St. Sunday Crag, in what makes up a great circular walk, enc...

Forecast High Winds and Continuous rain called for a contingency plan for this Wild Camp. A scout along the banks of one of the nicest bodies of water in the Lake District to find a brilliant clearing in a patch of woodland. All this resulting in a highly atmospheric and wet overnighter in a very quiet part of the Lake District.
How to traverse CRIB GOCH. A first hand view of the most DANGEROUS route up MOUNT SNOWDON.
มุมมอง 14Kปีที่แล้ว
An ascent on Mount Snowdon via the infamous Crib Goch route to see just how scary it is. Approaching from the pen-y-pass car park and via the pyg track, we tackled the infamous ridge towards the summit to be met with some spectacular weather and storm clouds at the summit. Followed by a descent down a lesser known and particularly treacherous wet grassy path towards the Nant Peris cark park on ...

Spending time alone wandering amongst the trees taking in the majesty of the earth, and all the lessons it has to offer.

The Toughest Wild Camp of My Life.

A summit Wild Camp during an Arctic Blast from the north. Low pressure wet weather from the Atlantic meets cold arctic air from the north. The result. Deep snow, frozen ground and intense wild chill. And possibly the best wild camp ever. Also, some broken pegs.

When we go to the beach here in Texas you frequently run into wind like this. But when it's 90 degrees F. and the mosquitos come out of the marsh behind the beach it's a God send!! Glad the wind comes from offshore and not the wetlands!!
It’s similar here. I love a gentle breeze to keep midges at bay. Not sure if you get them in Texas. It’s like being attacked by 5 million ants. We do get mosquitos but not in the same quantity I’d imagine.
It gets you out of the wind. I guess thats what counts.
Some shelter is better than no shelter. Basically.
Damn!!! What a shitty place to live!!! Especially back when they built these places!! That constant wid would drive ya NUTS!!!
What Language is he speaking..
Ancient hebrew
For all those wondering SAS here stands for Scouse As Shit
De do dow dont de thow
❤
Thanks👍🏻
what Language is he speaking ??? cant understand a word !!!
I speak good england. I from Liverpool
All that flat rock I'd be slowly building stuff, walls, huts, gardens, a beautiful place even inhospitable as it seems.
Ye i love that idea. Unfortunately, it’s “frowned upon” 🤣
My goodness - she is worth hanging onto. That would have been a wee bit nerve wracking
Shes just fine. Likes a challenge. 🤣
Still a champion
Darn, you should’ve brought along a kite.
I used to go by alan poppins once upon a time an all
I did Crib Goch some years ago when I was a lot fitter, best experience ever the views are spectacular, you will need a good head for hightes. Well done you two great video.
It’s certainly not something you forget in a hurry i know that much. Not for everyone either. Thanks for the comments.
Condensation builds up to quick in these especially if it’s raining , you end up more wet inside
I think it depends on the weather and the humidity myself. It’s not something i’ve experienced yet.
Love the look on the woman's face, been there. She is wondering what did I get myself into?
Nod along and deal with the consequences later rather than miss out on something 🤣
Being in the SAS I’m sure you know already 🙂keep as low to the ground and pull the shelter over you
Obviously. Why wouldn’t I. This was purely for entertainment purpose. Obviously.
Can you pout subtitles on please
They should already be available automatically. Many have used them already. Thanks for watching
Where I live, a storm means golf ball sized hail, 50+ mile per hour winds, and chance of tornados forming. That's just a tent.
You should moving to the uk 🤣
Because you're leaning up against it I was wondering if it will let the rain through if it chucks it down.
It will be wet on the inside no doubt. But much better than being out in the chucking it down so to speak
It's a lot easier if you sit down first and then cover yourselves with the bothy bag...less awkward than trying to sit down in unison with it around you 👍
You know. Thats a really good idea.
Learned the hard way 🤣
Everbody in the world can speak english but nobody understands the UK people :)
Most Americans are surprised not everyone sounds like king Charles i think
I used one in moderate wind and rain, no window in the one i had though, thats a useful extra. Looks difficult to deal with in those strong winds. I pack a small siltarp and use my walking poles for a quick shelter at mo, although again not used in strong winds. might revisit a bothy bag as i like the fully enclosed thing.
The window is necessary id say for leisure breaks not in an emergency. If you’re guna spend much longer than a few mins. Otherwise it’s literally like being in a bag.
I love the accent it’s easy being Glaswegian to understand and the be tee and humour too. A great wee practical workout with the Rab Storm. Take much 🏴🖖
Thanks mate. Beginning to think i need a translator there 🤣
Superb video. Appreciated your very honest commentary. Went up the Pyg and down the Miners with my wife a couple of years back and fancy trying CG next time.
Thanks. It’s worth a go. Just don’t underestimate it if you don’t like heights
You put it up on the highest point of the terrain, that is not very smart. there is lower more protected terrain where you should have been out of the most severe wind. Use what the earth provides for a wind break for your tiny shelter. Not a peak of a hill.
I take your point. It’s a no brainer. But the purpose here would be to test the shelter in a situation where there was no cover. A hypothetical situation which may arise. On an exposed moorland for instance. A plateau. To find cover wouldn’t make sense to see how it would get on. Thanks for the comment
I think I missed how the frame works. It has no floor?
It does sort of. Bits of sheet you sit on attached. To keep u off floor. Then you just prop it up with ur back. Like sitting under a blanket basically
Very pretty lady. Lucky fellow.
She sure is
Looks windy there. Highest wind i recorded at my house near the top of a hill was 113 mph. We nearly lost a 3 ton trailer it was flying around like a hot wheels car. We had mountain dogs and they wouldn't go out. Crossed their legs for hours.
I cant imagine wind like that. Id be glad your roof stayed on let alone the trailer keep still.
Got caught overnight at 3500m with only a space blanket. It was hell. My friend with a bivy sack actually slept a bit. Life saving piece of gear. Beautiful place you’re in there!
I always carry one of them. Ive only used it to help insulate underneath a sleeping mat to increase the r value. I would hate to spend a night in one. Must’ve been awful
She looks cold and super uncomfortable.
Shes just fineee
When life gives ya rocks... Make rock and role....
Exactly👍🏻
Quite interesting, even when I hardly coud understand a few words. What language coud this be??🤭
Ancient greek. Everybody is speaking it now
@@alantierney Oh no wonder I could not follow. My ancient greek is terrible.
Well I speak ancient greek as a Native language. Guess they spoke it with some foreign accent.
There was an invasion on my side of town.
I climbed the Alport castles 30 years ago - seemed easy at the time. Mind you, everything was easy 30 years ago.
It probably is easy to some. Though I imagine anyone who doesn’t like heights won’t enjoy it. Few handholds for at least one or two points and very steep.
@@alantierney Yes, and since it is land-slip topography, it won't be particularly stable either!
Nice One Al,
Thanks👍🏻
Another cracking day out.
Of course
If a shelter or a tent whatever doesn't has a floor I don't want it.
It has fabric you sit on to be fair. On either side. Whether you count that as a floor, I’ll let you be the judge. Thanks for watching 👍🏻
How does it stay up??
Just prop it up with your back. As if sitting under a blanket with 2 people. Same thing
‘And that’s what we gotta get across !’ … well, I mean…. you didn’t ‘gotta’ 🤷🏾♂️
Totally did
Werewolf country.
I haven’t heard that like.
She looks like she's freezing
Shes fine 🤣
Blai-nai fest-in-iog

“Fine speech …now what do we do?”
Classic jackass
Have you ever seen the series Jackass?…..well……
Ye
Touching how much love and respect he shows with pet names for her like 'dwarf' and 'Michael Jackson'. What a sweet guy
Terms of endearment. 🤣
Why does it have those arms thingys
Just vents really. But i found u can prop it up with a trekking pole. Although i don’t know if thats why they’re there
How cool … How on earth does it work? I’m assuming it needs to be windy?
No u just prop it up with body. Imagine sitting under a blanket basically. But if wind blows in. It sort of inflates. But thats not supposed to happen ideally
I can understand why you couldn't drive up that road. I drove up it in my very old zafira and when I got to the top there was a really strong hot/burning car smell, not sure if the clutch was slipping or what, but the car only just made it. Since then I've always driven the other way round, past the lakeside cafe and avoided that hill
Ye i thinks because of how narrow it is as well. Quite intimidating. I did something similar on the honister pass in an old banger myself.
As ex Army all we had in the 1960s was a waterproof poncho no sleeping bag……..just a wool blanket with a kilt pin to form an blanket envelope. You had to pair up with another buddy join two ponchos together wit thin rope and form a bivouac and sleep head to tail.
I wouldn’t fancy that. Thank god for new gear 🤣
Meh the storm's nothing in comparsion to surviving Welsh accent...
Scouse. Thanks for the positive input. The world appreciates you and your existence. 👍🏻
@@alantierney Although it may seem like that, didn't mean you this time lol, but anyway much obliged mate and wish you folks the best on your travels ;)
Sorry mate had a few comments saying I sound welsh. Not bothered by that obviously but read your comment based on that. Thanks for taking the time to comment. 👍🏻
@@alantierney No worries mate, have a good one 😉
As others have suggested, I think that’s the most accurate representation of a ‘stroll’ across the ‘Red Ridge.’ Really good! Still laughing at Gemma’s response to you suggesting you needed some milk 🤣
Ye i think some people use fisheye cams which skew it to make it look worse. And thats classic gemma really. 🤣
Ah canna feel me hands or feet just from watchin ya!
Immersive viewing
@@alantierney Literally. But ya canna beat the view. Lovely wild moors, and rugged weather let you know you're alive, even if you canna feel parts of your appendages!
I’m sorry but subtitles are needed I can’t understand a word laa
No worries thanks for watching
