Yes I saw that. In some ways it could be better. But was thinking more about an easy approach for my mate 🤣..... Done that area for a bit 👍........ probably
Thanks for the comment. It's a great area with plenty of variations. And it's often very quiet. Did a recent film on Rampshill Head. But also High Street, Place Fell and Angletarn Pikes are in my playlist 👍😜 definitely an area worth exploring
Yup. It does Richard. The times we stated were well after we were packed. But it also depends on location. We saw nobody till we left. We had breakfast and started packing tents at 7..30. I guess it depends on how early is early. And your take on it. Admittedly I'm normally away early. But on this occasion we were out of the way and I had no problem with it, so we took our time and sat about. There's no set time, it's about respect for others. And on this occasion I saw no problem. I'm a responsible Wild Camper. I park and Pay, I have no fires, and keep out of the way. Thanks for your concern, I can tell your a lover of the Lakes. So am I.
@MountainManJohnFilms apologies for my arsy question, but the Lakes is getting bombarded by "wild campers" creating campsites. Like you said, the guidelines are subjective so common sense should be used in these cases. When I summit camp, I do so solo to have less impact. Each summit is different of course. A peak like Kidsty Pike should be camped more responsibly than let say a large domed topped one like Pillar.
@@richardjennings2708 It's cool. I understood where you were coming from. If you see any other of my wild camps I'm usually alone. But always high and discreet. I support your thinking. Unfortunately the wild campers your talking about are generally not actually keen wild campers. Just people on a jolly. I appreciate your interest in spreading understanding. I know some don't appreciate films either. But I'm sharing my experiences, and hopefully the love of the hills...I absolutely think most of it is lack of knowledge and awareness. 👍
@@MountainManJohnFilms fantastic response mate, and apologies again for being arsy. I've been proper stressed out recently from idiots on social media, and I'm not realising that I'm becoming one myself.
Great video, looked like a great spot for a camp.
Thanks Stuart. Yup it was a nice spot. Only flat bit about and right by the summit. 👍
Nice one pal. Reminiscing great times with old friends; priceless 🙏🏻. I checked out that pitch but didn’t fancy it in the Duomid. ATB 👍

Nice video I have been to the Lakes a few times but not there so I will put it on my list to do cheers

"Arrive late and leave early" guideline doesn't matter to you two?
