Good to see you back in the hills again Dave. Those deer nearly sounded like roaring lions...Ive got out..(at long last!!!) but up on the Scottish Border forest roads...a beginning😉. ATB. llama_ladee_anny😀
A nice, relaxing video. That’s a good looking inner. Solid walls and sets as nicely as any I’ve seen. The inner which came with my second hand Duomid is so saggy, baggy and heavy that I rarely use it. The tent also looks great. I might have to splurge.
Ooohh a nice looking mat!! 😊 What a wonderful place for a hike and camp…looked great Dave! Sounds like the deer are getting to work early this season! Some lovely spots for camping up there - hope the car got sorted without any issues 🤞
It’s very comfortable as mats go, was great to hear the Deer off in the distance. Haweswster is a great area for camping ⛺️👍 Car had no issues thank god atb Dave
A fair camp I'd say Dave - I mean no wind at all and the mat worked. ChrisJB's Thermarest is knackered too. I wouldn't spend that money on em. Well, a few peaks at some mountains bit it's just good to be out. I hope your knees are OK. Mark
Cheers Mark , weather wasn’t the best but always good to be in the mountains. Thermarest overpriced and uncomfortable , new mat is much more comfortable. Tfw atb Dave ⛺️👍
@@BorderRambler A pleasure as always Dave. For sure it's being out that counts - what a feeling. I think people are twigging onto other products - you pay for the name it seems. Good to hear of the new mat.
Nice camp Dave, I've had enough of inflatable pads and thermorest in particular as the bloody uberlite let me down again! I'm going heavy duty with a self inflating pad as a blown air bed is not too much of a problem on just an overnight camp on a thru-walk it's a disaster! I had to sleep on the cold hard ground for 3 nights before I found a village with a hardware store that had a cheapo festival pad to buy!👍🍺😎
Hey Dave 👋 The views on the way up matey were perfect, I'd love to camp in the lakes, but it's so far from me, sadly, the furthest I've camped solo is the peak district. I loved it though. Cool viddy. Enjoyed it.
Long drive, long climb and dam that clag, as on a clear day it is such am amazing part of the lakes. Looked a canny mat but surprised you get any sleep with those randy stags about - deer not you! I am like you with a regular car service, do not want a break down in the middle of nowhere without a phone signal, cheers Alan
Nice one Dave. I have the thermerest same as you and always suffer with my back in the morning. I have been looking at the mat so you recommend it ? Cheers Graham
What a great wee spot for an over nighter and so quiet, which I don't associate with the Lakes, I was down there last week around Thirlmere and the place was busy, but then the weather was glourious, what a difference a week makes. I like the look of the new mat, I will recommend it to a mate who gets onto the tops a lot. The usual top quality video Dave, I look forward to the next. ATB Big Dave Scotland
Thanks big Dave, yeah it’s a quiet area of the lakes as the car park is the end of the road !! No sunshine for me 😂 but still nice to enjoy the peace of the hills atb Dave ⛺️👍
Great to to see you back out bud. Seen a few folk try that out including Andrew park, I’ve had loads of issues with the kilos gear version so might give that a crack. Lovely looking camp spot that too. ATVB Robert
Thanks Robert , yeah it gives a decent nights kip does the the light tour mat, lovely area if you ever head that way , about 8-9 miles from junction 39 of M6 atb Dave ⛺️👍
I'm with you Dave, I reckon the Haweswater area is my favourite part of the Lakes (Northern Fells run it pretty close also for me). Just seems that little bit less busy. Nice spot too on that ridge. One to bear in mind for the future. Great stuff. ATB, Chris
Thanks Chris , I agree Northern Fells is also very lovely too. Haweswater never fails to disappoint although it was a tad claggy on this one TFW atb Dave ⛺️👍
Great video Dave, I loved the light and was going to ask if you'd changed your camera as it looked good. Sorely tempted to get an MLD I have to say and I echo your thoughts on the mat. I've now got two for me and Jan and sold both Thermarest. Happy camping A
Thanks Andrew , hope your are well. That was the first run out for the GoPro hero 13 paired with the DJI mic 2 via Bluetooth and no cables or adapters 👍 It’s a very comfortable mat , hoping it performs well in cold weather too. I do like he MLD shelters ⛺️👍 atb Dave
Very nice set up especially that reflecting mat is that from ebay?! Kinda envy having MLD but I already have X-Mids and one Big Agnes, I also fancy Six Moons Cape and LiteWay Pyroomm poncho, the are kinda like MLD but 2 in 1 and maybe more fun to use and have so maybe in the future when I have some savings ;p

Nice to see you out in the Lake District, it will be interesting to see how that mat performs in winter 🥶 Atb Darren
Absolutely, a good cold camp will give it a proper test 🥶 atb Dave

Thanks it’s the plus size inner and fits much better than the old original version. Tfw atb Dave ⛺️👍
Nice one Dave, looked a nice chilled out camp despite the claggy weather. The sleeping matt looks the business..good stuff ..cheers Stevie
Thanks Stevie , conditions not the best but still a good night ⛺️👍 atb Dave
Good video Dave. Nice scenery. That mat looked pretty good - I'll take a look. ATB
Thanks Jim , it is comfy that’s for sure 👍🏻 atb Dave

Ordered a MLD bivy as looks nice kit.
Cheers Adrian
Lovely area Adrian , plenty of bivi spots in the craggy areas . Comfy mat that’s for sure , I will be wanting to hear how the mld bivi is 👍
Beautiful scenery, Dave! Wonderful sharp video in 4K. Do you have to drive far to get to this place? Cheers!
Thanks Dan , it’s around an hours drive from home for me 👍 so not bad really atb Dave

Atmospheric! Sitting in the dark and clag listening to the bellowing of stags, fantastic!
Yes it was an eerie sound that’s for sure atb Dave
Nice one Dave.
