Thank you mate! I'm taking some much needed time out of filming for a while to focus on some personal stuff, but I shall return stronger (although slightly older and even more weathered) than before!

Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment. I'm very glad you enjoyed the video 🙏🏻 Stay safe.

Glad you enjoyed it Peter! Thank you for taking the time to let me know too, it's greatly appreciated. Take care!

Thank you Stuart, It's a great spot that I highly recommend 👍🏻 It's not as busy as some of the more popular tarns in the Lakes.

Thank you very much for subscribing and taking the time to leave a comment Andrew. Really appreciate the positive feedback mate 🙌🏻

It was great mate, moved at a really good pace and it was amazing rock to climb on. Loved it 🙌🏻

Hey Ms Kayak! Thank you very much 🙌🏻 It's great to hear from you again, I hope you've been having some great adventures! 😎 The Alps trip was amazing and has definitely opened up a new area for me to explore 😃 As always, thank you for watching and taking the time comment, you've made my day 🙏🏻

Thank you for subscribing and taking the time to leave a comment 🙏🏻 Enjoy! 😎

Thank you John, that's made my day! I hope you have a great camp and manage to find a good pitch. Cheers for taking the time to leave a comment mate. Enjoy! 🙌🏻

Hi Hanzlah, Thank you very much for the kind words, I'm so pleased you enjoyed the video. There are a few places around the tarn that offer flat pitches to camp on. The tarn is fairly well protected from the elements although this does depend on the direction that the wind is coming from. Still one of my favourite places to wildcamp in the Lake District though.

Thank you very much Antonio, It's always great to hear that someone is enjoying my videos and you are absolutely right, it's hard to produce good content and figure out what people would like to see as well as how they would like to see it. Greatly appreciate your kind words and I hope you continue to enjoy the content.

Haha! Thank you very much for subbing 🙏🏻 Hope you enjoyed watching. You should check out my Elbow Ridge video for some real exposure on rocks too!

Thank you very much for pointing that out, greatly appreciated! Hope you enjoyed the video and yes, although the conditions at the moment are the worst they have been in a very long time, it was still a spectacular experience.

Hi Ms Kayak 🙂 Thank you as always for your kind words and for taking the time leave a comment, it always makes my day! It was definitely a breathtaking experience (partly because of the altitude but mostly for the amazing views). The crevasse we were working in was only around 10-15m deep but some were so deep we couldn't see the bottom. Needless to say the fantastic guides we had were keen for us to use the more accessible ones 🤣. Truly hope that you enjoyed the video and thanks again 🙏🏻

@@ian_fox Thank you for allowing me to experience this ice climbing through your lens.🏔

@@ms.kayak7seas it's my pleasure. Although sometimes the footage doesn't look as good as I'd hoped I am always trying to improve 😊

It was mate! You'll be on the next one...

@@ian_fox hopefully as a frozen heap at the bottom so I can be in a human predicament episode 😂

@@Prepnation100 that's the dream right there! 🤣

Hi there! Thank you very much for the comment, I really hope you enjoyed the video. The camera is mounted at the front of my climbing helmet (I'll try to include that in my next video) and I think it worked well. I was trying to give the viewer the best perspective so that they could see things how I see them. I am currently out filming in the French Alps but when I get back I would like to research the kind of fossils that I found in the video (I didn't want to guess on camera and end up being wrong) 🤣 I would love to go searching for some other fossils like shark teeth and turtle shells, that sounds amazing!

@@ian_fox Look forward to it. Had your bell tickled.🤗

Wow, thank you very much, that genuinely means a lot 🙂 It's always nice to hear that people are enjoying my videos. I try to get better each time with editing and presentation, you've made my day with this comment 🙌🏻 Greatly appreciated! 😁

@@ian_fox Always nice to make someone's day💃😁 It's true tho-you can really see your vids getting better and better for each one,-so keep going!👌😊

It did thank you mate. I've since reproofed my tent and Goretex kit with Nikwax though, always good to keep on top of it. Hope you enjoyed the video, thank you very much for comment also 🙌🏻

Thanks very much Stu, that's greatly appreciated. I'll check them out at the first opportunity. Hope you enjoy the videos and thank you for taking the time to leave a comment. Cheers!

It was a great morning indeed! Great views like that are rare in the Lake District as the mountains make their own weather but I'm glad it turned out well. Hope you enjoyed the video and thanks for the comment 👍🏻

Thank you, really appreciate that. The pitch turned out to be ok in the end, I'd definitely use that one again.

They were actually better than I remember 🤣 and way better than those dehydrated/freeze-dried meals, although both have their pros and cons.

Thanks very much Chanelle 😊 Editing takes a lot of time and a lot practice (and patience) but I'm making progress.

@@ian_fox you have the patience and will soon gain the knowledge, when you do I might have to pick your brains as that’s where I struggle in the editing of my videos 🤦🏼‍♀️

@@chanellehalford9833 always happy to help! And thank you 😊

😂 Thanks, it was indeed grim but not the worst I've done. I'm hoping the Lakes will be more welcoming in two days when I return. Thanks for the comment too, hope you enjoyed the video 🙏🏻

@@ian_fox I’ve just returned from a Snowdonia camp, blue skies and pink clouds! Forecast looks good so, fingers crossed for you 👍🏼

@@Professionalmoochers awesome! Did you make a video? Glad you had a good time and the weather was kind to you 🤙🏻

@@ian_fox I got some footage but haven’t looked through it yet so could be a load of cack 😁

🤣 Probably not the correct terminology but one that I'm sure many will relate to anyway. Hope you enjoyed the video Si 👍🏻

@@ian_fox sure did pal.

Hi Rob, Thank you very much for that, it's greatly appreciated! I'm still getting the hang of filming my wild camps but it's very encouraging to hear that people are enjoying the content. I've been into hiking and camping for years myself but never though I'd have the confidence to actually create a channel as I'm very self-critical and it looked like a lot of work (I wasn't wrong!). I love Snowdonia and can't wait to do some filming there in the future. I can definitely recommend Cwm Idwal or maybe Cwm Lloer, although these are popular areas, if you arrive late, leave early and leave no trace, I'm sure you'll have a great experience and won't be bothered by anyone. If however, you're feeling a bit more adventurous, try camping in/around one of the old disused slate mines. Let me know how you get on though Rob, I'm sure you'll have a blast. Enjoy and stay safe!

Mate, very much appreciated. I am gonna give it a go Monday/Tuesday and I’ll let you know how it goes. Thanks for taking the time to reply. It is very much appreciated bud, thanks. Keep the vids coming, very enjoyable and practical watching. Take care, stay safe bud. Rob.

@@robp5220 happy to help Rob, I really hope you have a safe and enjoyable trip, definitely let me know how it goes. Thank you so much for the awesome feedback too, I'll be back in the Lakes straight after work again on Tuesday to explore another area. Take care! 💪🏻

Hello MT! Yes there is definitely something special about the sounds of camping, sadly I couldn't grab the camera fast enough to capture the serious gusts but my little Hilleberg Akto was definitely tested that night. I think the strongest wind I've experienced was in the valley of Glen Coe, Scotland during the West Highland Way challenge, it was certainly exhilarating to say the least. So glad you enjoyed the video, really means a lot 🙏🏻 Hope you're keeping well...

Hey Roderick! Hoe gaat het? It was great meeting you yesterday at Patterdale. I'm not sure how the video will turn out as the weather was pretty challenging throughout the night. Best of luck with your challenge my friend, massive respect! P.s I didn't see the Medic that you mentioned but she would've been insane to take the route that I was using whilst carrying that much weight 😂 Keep in touch buddy and stay safe!

Hi there! Great question. Yes, I always carry a small personal first aid kit on my person (clips to my belt) if I ever leave my pack. Just a small off-the-shelf one from an outdoor shop but I've added a few items like a foil blanket and spare (mini) head torch and whistle etc as well as my cell phone which I always keep on my person. So glad you enjoyed the video, that genuinely means a lot. I'd love to get myself over to NZ for some climbing one day!

@@ian_fox Hello again, thanks for the reply. I think that you would enjoy our bush and mountains, but not to be taken lightly. The understory is very dense and a compass is a must (or GPS), go off the track and you are down to 200/300 metres an hour. many vines and creepers hinder the way, especially in the Tararua range. (see it on line) and of course you won't see a soul from one week to the next. I just finished a 3 day tramp and never saw a soul. After 50+ years in the mountains it has kept me fit and I go often, many solos and with others . 46 tramps (hikes) so far this year (67 last year) and not finished yet. If ever you come down this way make it a long stay, there is so much climbing and tramping to do. It will test you to your limit !! ATB. Cheers from NZ😊😊

@@mountainmantararua8824 wow! The Tararua Range looks spectacular! (I just googled it) It definitely looks like a challenge but also a place you can really lose yourself and get away from everything (and everyone 😂). I'm certainly a map and compass guy but a GPS is great as a back up navigation device. Lastly let me just say thank you for the messages and your kind words about my video, I can only hope that I am still as active and fit as you are after 50+ years in mountains. Keep up the great work sir! 💪🏻

Cheers mate, I was waiting for you to sell yours actually 🤣

Thank you! 🥰
