Just recently you've popped up on my time line. I'm now addicted. Loving everything I've watched so far, doubt it'll get worse! Barf is my favourite so far, but I've many more to enjoy. Thank you.
Great video as always Dave. To be fair, I could happily watch you doing almost anything. You’re just one of life’s nice guys. Keep it up and keep smiling mate. 👍😊
Not bad Dave. A room and a brew with a view, and your own private swimming pool! One of the most gorgeous sights you'll see, the sun rising and the moon setting in the mountains. Take care matey! Simon, Somerset.
opening scene dave wow...a beautiful area up there mate doesn't get walked as much as the big boys over the road there but has so much to offer in the way of views..i always say you dont need to be on the big boys to appreciate the views,the small ones have some of the best lakeland views on offer..i'd sort of worked out where you were before you revealed you were on harter fell..that view over to the hardknott fort gave the game away..something you ought to get done is the wainrights dave only 99 to go ,there's some superb summits to explore.. superb stuff as always pal tfs Andy.
That opening scene 👌, loved that video dave, you always find some cracking spots to pitch. The surrounding scenery looked something else!....again great video and look forward to see what's next 👍
Yessssssiiiiii Mr Sumiteer! Brilliant mate. Pretty much the whole place to yourself, perfect! That cute little tarn is stunning! Amazing video, as they all are and always are! Keep been you mate, your a breath of fresh air. Much love - Adam in the wild 💚
Wow, thanks for that Dave taking us along with you, and I’m not surprised that you were knackered having to walk up the mountain twice to take us with you! Absolutely stunning scenery and views all topped of with your DJI muni 2 Drone footage, brilliant! I have the same Drone btw and it is a gem! Once again thanks for that and take care! 🎮🛸👣⛺️☕️🌞👍😎
Wow , so spectacular , , ,what a Beautiful place to camp, I need to go there one day.Thanks for your fantastic drone footage, and all your efforts to show us the stunning views.Thanks again ,cant wait for the next one
What a find mate👍🏻 Good going! Right little gem of a spot that. Loved the shot of the rising sun shining across the water, stunning. Brilliant film Dave, nice gear too😎 Cheers mate. Mark
Absolutely incredible again Dave. I'm only a 3rd in and it's already sublime. I'm going to have to start just copying and pasting in the superlatives as I just repeat them on your vids !! So great. Oh and saw the comments about the paid promotion. You don't need to justify anything to anyone! Ppl massively underestimate what is involved to document these trips for our pleasure.. for free! Take ALL the help you can get!! And fwiw, a coffee donation option is never a bad thing. Ppl piss away a Starbucks for £5 and then moan about some guy on TH-cam doing all this awesome stuff.. for free! Boils my piss lol any support to keep this kind of quality coming for us who long to get out between other commitments is money well spent!! Anyway, nonsense rant over! Another banger Dave. Much love to you. 🙏🏕️
Wow Dave what a fantastic video and perfect timing. After seeing one of your earlier videos camping on Great Gable, have have just done the same route up Sour Milk Gill to Great Gable via Green Gable and back down via Ruddy Gill, what a route thanks to you. Now back and bloody knackered and watched this video, thanks as always an inspiration! ATB Steve
Great video as always; keep them coming. Got a lot of Revolution Race gear myself; I like the Wander Pro cause they have a zipped Opening at the end of the legs which makes easier to get over your boots. I notice they’ve started to do this on some of their other trousers. I’ve done about 7 reviews on various RR items. Great gear and their price point is excellent 👌 thanks for taking us along. ATB Mark.
Another great video Dave! A new summit for you, but Harter Fell I have climbed up that about 10 years ago. Stunning views across to the Scafell's and Bowfell too. Not your normal March weather, but very welcome though! Great photography, love to reminisce on walks from my past, fabulous ! Thanks again Dave. Best wishes Mike
Your videos are excellent! Thanks for all the effort you put in to making them. I'm desperate to get back to the Lakes and enjoy some of the stunning scenery for myself 🙂.
Cracking spot that . Great weather too , really lucky. We had over 20° up here last week , now sitting in my living room looking out at fresh snow up at Nevis Range and the Mamores... looking forward to more videos Dave. 👍
Stunning views from the drone, what a fantastic place! That little lake is in an interesting position, it looks like it's perched on the side of the hill. I've not been up to the Lakes for many years but I'm definitely inspired to go again sometime.
It was nice waking up this morning to go on an adventure with ya Dave. The scenery was absolutely beautiful as always with your videos, kept up the good work 👍 The new gear looks great as well. Be safe out there my friend ✌️
Fab as always Dave!! I did my first extended walk after two years of injury around the Malvern Hills last week.......soon be back in the Lakes hopefully !!🙏 🙌
Hi Dave, Looks like you had a cracking time up there. The views were tremendous. I liked the drone shot near the end (40" approx) where it skimmed over the tarn then the big reveal over the Irish Sea and Scafells, brilliant coupled with the music. The kit from Sweden looks the business. The detachable hood on the down jacket is a useful feature. I've never hiked up that side of the Lakes before,although I remember the hair raising journey in the car up Hardknott Pass. It's certainly on my radar now. ATB Dave .....and keep 'em coming M8.😊🙏👍
Very enjoyable love the views . I rode the passes on my motorbike hardknot is tricky. I feel its time to do another wildcamp soon too. Good inspiration because its so easy not to go sometimes but when your their is amazing. Your drone will cope with reasonable winds I have flown mine in 25 mph and the footage is still stable. Keep the footage rolling. GWAgain
Lots of snow when I was Last up there, great vid , I knew you'd find a good pitch 😀, defo do the Wainwrights, I'm really enjoying doing them , and been amazing places I wouldn't have seen otherwise
Nice vid. I went up there a couple of months ago but there was zero visibility. Definitely going back when the forecast is good , views look fantastic.
Nice one Dave as usual, sorry to hear you have not been so good , not been to good myself for week or so pretty mad whether lately, anyway onward and upward was they say👍👍
Another inspiring video Dave, thank you very much. Did you say the sky is ‘pinkering up’? I’d contact the dictionary authorities and get that word put in. It was lovely storytelling and your work with the Drone is exceptionally good I don’t know why you said otherwise. I love to see your enthusiasm for the Lake District and it’s good to see you back there. Keep safe and happy.
Hi Dave. When I first saw the picture of you at this tarn on Instagram I thought you were back at Lambfoot Dub just above the Corridor Route - clearly not! Perfect weather. Hope you’re doing well mate. Cheers, Si
Some cracking views there we've all had less than ideal pitches but we always make do and there's always a handy rock lol.ive got the same bottle holder there hard to get hold of at minute like a lot of gear everywhere out of stock.i must admit I use 2p tents and have struggled a few times finding a pitch big enough but I love the room I get with the 2p tents.
Absolutely stunning as always - both the scenery and your production. I take your point about Wainwright bagging. If what someone does is race to the top, tick a list then off to the next one it may suit them but to me spoils the walk. However one good thing about bagging them is it means that you finish up wandering over areas of the Lake District which you wouldn't normally think about visiting and as you do you discover new favourite places.
Found a decent pitch in the end Dave , comfy on camp lol . I haven’t done that harter fell but the other , it looks a stunner indeed . New gear looks the biz hope your well atb Dave ⛺️👍
Amazing temperatures last week. I was up in the Lakes for the whole week. Summits and long walks everyday. Spent a cold October day in 2020 up Harter Fell from Coniston - 15 miles and the rain didn’t help. I hate driving on the pass and wrynose. Last Friday was stunning weather. You were on Brandreth and I walked the Buttermere /Ennerdale upper fells. Looking forward to the next camp. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Dave, that brought back some nice memories, I haven't done many peaks but have done Harter fell, I went the long way round that you pointed out. Nice music to go with a fantastic view Northwards! The only thing you didn't do apart from checking your Battery is going for a swim before breakfast.
@@TheSoloSummiteer Got a few days hols up in Eskdale next week Boot Inn, so doing a bit of recee,, tag on a few days camping too. Soz not to bump into you!
Loved it Dave. Always am impressed with your choice of pitch. Stunning. That opening shot is a bit of wizardry 😝. Im a bit like you with summits, not ticking off a list, but when i count them up im well on my way....Keep it up mate. Great stuff.
Absolutely stunning..how good is that :)... What a pitch, I must get my Soulo BL out in weather like this wow stunning drone footage, classic Solo Summiteer Stuff for sure Dave. Loving the long vlogs and only halve ways through lol includes paid promotion :) ! but don't sell your 'Soul' to the devil 👿 :) keep it real and coming Dave, thks ATB ☘️
Big thanks Merky 👍. The “paid promotion” refers to the jacket and trousers that were sent to me by RR (that I don’t even need). I get contacted regularly by companies asking me to promote their stuff, but RR were the only one I’m interested in. I’m certainly not selling my soul. If you look at nearly all other channels they are asking for likes and subs, buy me a coffee, advert breaks during the video, promoting products left right and centre, etc. The pittance I make from TH-cam doesn’t even cover my fuel costs for travelling around making these videos. I do this because I enjoy doing it, it’s as simple as that. All very real my friend. It’s keeping my going at the moment as I don’t have much else. Glad you enjoyed it 🙏🏻
Awesome video mate , I was there Saturday and parked in the same place 👍🏻 That’s ace that revolution race sent you the clothing I love that brand real good quality gear Nice one mate
Another amazing video Dave, love the ending with the music, brilliant. The weather has been awesome and I managed a two day wild camp at the beginning of it. The night time was amazing bright moon (As you said like someone shinning a torch) clear sky, it was like daytime, and apart from my tent pole braking, my roll matt having a slow leak and my Befree water bottle filter being solid in the cap part, which for the life of me can't workout why that happened, I had a great time LOL! One thing that was a nice little addition, as you mentioned, to my gear was the bottle holder that goes on the shoulder strap. You don't even realise its there, so cheers for that mate. I have looked on the RR website and everything I seem to like is not in stock? I'm either too fussy or they sell their stuff like hot cakes LOL! batteries flat Dave Aaaaaaadddddmmmiiiiinnn Ha! Ha! Ha!
Haha. No way! It’s a great spot isn’t it⛰👍. Just watched your video on your TH-cam channel. Really enjoyed it. My new video, out tomorrow, was filmed in the same area. Keep um coming 😎 ATB - Dave
We've been up here once when we did little stand and scafell ... it's got to be one of the best views around 🙌... the hardknott fort really adds that next level to it doesn't it? Alot of old norse and roman history round these parts. You might have inspired me to get out and do a camp here mate... hope all is well 🙏
Awesome video, it's a long way to the Lakes from Bristol so I only manage to get up there once or twice a year, very jealous of you lucky lot up north who can pop up there on the weekend. I do have the Brecons nearby but there's something special about the Lake District for sure. My first Wainwright was Mungrisdale Common, I figured if I started out with so say, "the worst one" then every one I did afterwards would always be better in comparison. So far it's rang true but I don't have as many as you to compare to haha! Keep up the great videos, they make for fantastic inspiration to get out there where ever it may be 👍
Great pitch Dave, Harter is a secret gem. Nice summit. I did Hardknott fell, Harter and Green crag in the same trip. Both of the other two have great views, especially Hardknott of the Scafells. How about tent lights?I have one but nobody ever mentions tent lights 😉. Belting trip pal.
@@TheSoloSummiteer Tell me about it. i’ve usually got 12-14 kg! my light is a Pika lantern which doubles as a torch/charger. i like to not use up my head torch incase i need to get down the mountain. Keep going pal. Harter is a nice summit not so well known.
Wow. Another great one Dave. I love the longer video too. Great spot camp spot again. Can’t wait for the great gable camp now. Was that a 2 day camp out in two different tents?
Hi Dave. Just interested of the 4 tents you have, if you had to part with 1, which would it be and why? From your comments in the video I have a suspicion which but am curious to hear your thoughts! Great location by the way - always a bonus to be that close to a water source cheers. Gary 👍
Haha. Interesting question Gary. I guess it’s the Akto. That’s the one I’ve used the least. Saying that, I now fancy getting our in it again. Watch this space 😁⛰⛺️👍
Under 2000ft!!😱…you’ve taken your eye off the ball Dave!😂😉 Another fantastic spot buddy & stunning footage Thankyou 👍🏻 Can I just ask you how your finding the iPhone 13pro ? Especially night shots & video…. I’m thinking about one but nighttime stuff mainly. Thanks again for taking us along mate, epic videography 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
@@TheSoloSummiteer oh brilliant, I was hoping it was as good as reviews were saying, thanks for confirming 👍🏻 I best get one sorted now😂👍🏻 Cheers buddy looking forward to your next one.
Hi Dave, what great weather, perfect for walking and filming. I did fairfield horseshoe yesterday and couldn't see a thing. Do you just use a map for navigation or a GPS map as well? And have you learnt navigation yourself or been on any particular courses? Thanks, Claire
Hi Claire. I nearly always use the OS map app is n my phone but always carry a paper map and compass. Not done a course on map reading just learned myself by practicing.
Would it be feasible to start at Birks Bridge, go up Harter fell, then down via Hardknott pass, past the fort and over up slight side and Scafell and back in one day?
You would have to be fitter than me. That would be a long walk with a lot of ascent. I did a video on a similar route. May be worth you having a look at it - Remote solo wild camp amongst the Scafells.
Hi Dave Great video … Re RevolutionRace…. Hard to get the sizing right. What size are you and what size did you order? Hope you don’t mind me asking? Ta
What a lovely little vid Dave, as always thank you for letting us tag along. 👍😉
Love that view with the swimming pool 😁
STUNNING! 👌🏾😉
I discovered this channel last year - next week I'm doing my first trip up Scaffell Pike, completely inspired by this channel!
Really appreciate that Paul 🙏🏻

Pure inspiration. My daughter and I watched with awe and we noted that because you enjoyed your moments there; we also enjoyed everything fully.
That’s lovely you watched and enjoyed it together, Karen. Big thanks 🙏🏻
Yet another consistently brilliant video. And stop telling us you're a poor drone pilot! It just ain't true! 😁
Big thanks Bob🙏🏻. I’m just not as good as I’d like to be, made more difficult by the wind.

Big thanks AM 🙏🏻
From some angles that tarn was like an infinity pool. Super cool.
I know 😎👍
Wonderful walking country...the Lakes at its best...one of the best tops in the whole of the district

Haha. No way! It’s a great spot isn’t it⛰👍. Just watched your video on your TH-cam channel. Really enjoyed it. My new video, out tomorrow, was filmed in the same area. Keep um coming 😎 ATB - Dave
@@TheSoloSummiteer ahh thanks so much haha, number of tech challenges to work out 🥴 Oo will look forward to seeing that 🙏🏼
“Technical challenge’s”. Tell me about it 🤦🏻♂️😁.
We've been up here once when we did little stand and scafell ... it's got to be one of the best views around 🙌... the hardknott fort really adds that next level to it doesn't it? Alot of old norse and roman history round these parts. You might have inspired me to get out and do a camp here mate... hope all is well 🙏
Nice one HB. Big thanks 🙏🏻
Awesome video, it's a long way to the Lakes from Bristol so I only manage to get up there once or twice a year, very jealous of you lucky lot up north who can pop up there on the weekend. I do have the Brecons nearby but there's something special about the Lake District for sure.
My first Wainwright was Mungrisdale Common, I figured if I started out with so say, "the worst one" then every one I did afterwards would always be better in comparison. So far it's rang true but I don't have as many as you to compare to haha!
Keep up the great videos, they make for fantastic inspiration to get out there where ever it may be 👍
Big thanks Luke, really appreciate that 👍. ATB Dave
👋.Great spot
Great video as always....o just treated myself to a pair of RR trousers with your discountcode so thanks very much it saved me 16 quid.
Nice one Olan. Good saving too. Hope you enjoy them 😎👍
Amazing Dave what weather just got the same drone not had chance to use it yet though constantly windy lol.keeo up the great vids👍
Big thanks Dave 🙏🏻
Great pitch Dave, Harter is a secret gem. Nice summit. I did Hardknott fell, Harter and Green crag in the same trip. Both of the other two have great views, especially Hardknott of the Scafells.
How about tent lights?I have one but nobody ever mentions tent lights 😉. Belting trip pal.
Many thanks UP 👍. Lights are great but it’s yet more stuff to carry and I ain’t getting any younger you know 😩😁
@@TheSoloSummiteer Tell me about it. i’ve usually got 12-14 kg! my light is a Pika lantern which doubles as a torch/charger. i like to not use up my head torch incase i need to get down the mountain. Keep going pal. Harter is a nice summit not so well known.
Awesome!
Wow. Another great one Dave. I love the longer video too. Great spot camp spot again. Can’t wait for the great gable camp now. Was that a 2 day camp out in two different tents?
Many thanks Mark, glad you enjoyed it🙏🏻. Yeah that’s right. Will be a few weeks before that one is out. ATB Dave
Beautiful scenery. Have you ever found yourself up there having "a poo with a view"?
Haha. Very rarely. I’m pretty regular that way and don’t eat much when I’m out 😁
The best part of doing the Wainwrights is that it takes you to parts of the LD that you might not usually visit...
Yeah. I get that Jason 👍
Nice! ever used the drone for a reconnaissance mission to look for camp spots?
Cheers Alex. Yes I have 😎👍
Hi Dave. Just interested of the 4 tents you have, if you had to part with 1, which would it be and why? From your comments in the video I have a suspicion which but am curious to hear your thoughts! Great location by the way - always a bonus to be that close to a water source cheers. Gary 👍
Haha. Interesting question Gary. I guess it’s the Akto. That’s the one I’ve used the least. Saying that, I now fancy getting our in it again. Watch this space 😁⛰⛺️👍
Under 2000ft!!😱…you’ve taken your eye off the ball Dave!😂😉
Another fantastic spot buddy & stunning footage Thankyou 👍🏻
Can I just ask you how your finding the iPhone 13pro ? Especially night shots & video…. I’m thinking about one but nighttime stuff mainly.
Thanks again for taking us along mate, epic videography 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I know J. Shameful 😞😁. Love the 13. Hardly ever use my Sony RX now. Big thanks 👍
@@TheSoloSummiteer does that mean your happy with the night stuff from the 13pro then Dave?..cheers mate for getting back to me👍🏻👍🏻
Absolutely J 😎👍. I sometimes insert night shots in my video. All taken with my 13 since I got it in November.
@@TheSoloSummiteer oh brilliant, I was hoping it was as good as reviews were saying, thanks for confirming 👍🏻 I best get one sorted now😂👍🏻
Cheers buddy looking forward to your next one.
@@J-Walks-007 just for info mine is a pro max 👍
Another enjoyable video! You're too late for this year's Oscars, but maybe next year, eh?
Hi Dave, what great weather, perfect for walking and filming. I did fairfield horseshoe yesterday and couldn't see a thing. Do you just use a map for navigation or a GPS map as well? And have you learnt navigation yourself or been on any particular courses? Thanks, Claire
Hi Claire. I nearly always use the OS map app is n my phone but always carry a paper map and compass. Not done a course on map reading just learned myself by practicing.
no link 4 th bottle holder awesome location f vid tho
Would it be feasible to start at Birks Bridge, go up Harter fell, then down via Hardknott pass, past the fort and over up slight side and Scafell and back in one day?
You would have to be fitter than me. That would be a long walk with a lot of ascent. I did a video on a similar route. May be worth you having a look at it - Remote solo wild camp amongst the Scafells.
@@TheSoloSummiteer thx much! Great stuff you are doing. Love the solitude you bring.
Nice cap, where from
Revolution Race 👍
Is your jacket the cyclone rescue one mate ?
I do have a Cyclone Rescue jacket but this one is the Helium 👍
Hi Dave
Great video … Re RevolutionRace…. Hard to get the sizing right. What size are you and what size did you order? Hope you don’t mind me asking? Ta
Cheers. My waist is about 30, chest about 39. Got small size for both jacket and pants.
Thank you
