Autumn Wildcamping in the Lake District
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 พ.ย. 2019
- My friend, Heather, and I headed up to the Lake District last weekend to see all the Autumn colours before they disappear! We first headed to Rydal where Heather went for a freezing swim, then for lunch at Lucia's in Grasmere and then heading over Kirkstone Pass to Patterdale where we started out hike and camp. The evening was pretty freezing and it ended up blowing a gale all night! But nothing beats wild camping, whatever the weather, and we were in the most beautiful location :D

This clip actually made me cry... the music was absolutely beautiful.. and the fact that you were hanging out with a friend in such a beautiful place., I’m very envious .. a good friend can enrich your life so much . I’ve never had that. You have excitement and wonder for life that I’ve lost over the years. Your country looks sooo beautiful. Thank you for taking us on your adventures with you., it makes me feel like I’m right there.
Jeff Mcilroy thank you so much, this was a lovely comment to read 😊
I didn't cry but I know how you feel Jeff 👍
Wild camping is illegal. Even before the pandemic
Judy Boyes bore off
@@judyboyes9441 Wrong.
Camped there many years ago with a friend, who sadly is no longer with us. Just the views took me back. Thank you
So glad I could take you back there and remember a special time :)
What I like about your videos is the beauty of a natural world, just nature, even the girls are completely natural beauty, the music is very relaxing and happy. I'm in hospital and your videos give me strength💪💗 i love hiking too.
You two are my new Rock Stars, your presentation has bought tears to my eyes. I went to Rydal a few years ago and stayed in at yurt at Rydal Hall and from there explored the Lakes. The lakes can match anywhere else in the world for beauty. Loved your spirit and enthusiasm, I wish there were more people in the world like you two. Looking forward to watching your films and future content.
What a lovely video made even better by two lovely people who have so much excitement for the outdoors, I took my daughter wild camping for a week when she was younger but it’s sadly not in her blood. I go every year for a week and I love it. Thank you and great music too. Well done. Atb. Tony
So glad that the TH-cam algorithm brought me to your channel!
Nerdfighter thanks so much for watching 😊
@@RambleFamily Just found you as well....subscribed!
That algorithm is a mythical beast..many cat videos later... thanks too, looks like an interesting channel 😃
Haha, it's just bought me here too.
I'm envious of you both. I'm terribly overweight now and dodgy knees, so this stuff is a struggle for me now.
Lovely video X
Over the course of my life I have been fortunate to travel to many beautiful parts of the world, but I struggle to thank of any quite as beautiful as the Lake District, a place dear to my heart. Thanks for sharing.
It really is very beautiful and I am so lucky to be able to head there just for a weekend :) so many more corners of it to explore!
A great video , lovely music and informative . You ladies radiate health and love of life .
How could anyone dislike this? Beautiful people, beautiful music and scenery ! Love it.
As always, your music compliments the scenery perfectly
Thanks very much :)
i like these tunes, who are they by ?
@@pen2199 Thank you! They are in the description if you press 'Show more'.
@@RambleFamily I love music like this for videos. Where do you license it from? Or just in general where do you get the rights to use it? I'd be really interested to find out 😊🙏
A week before I left for Australia I went to Rydal with my son. It was the last time I saw Autumn there for 4 years now. 2 years since I've seen my son. The Lakes are breathtaking that time of year. Queensland has a very different vista and climate. Thank You.
Why haven't you seen your son for two years? @Kev
@@agnesskibicka Hi Agnes. Covid for one (I live in Australia) My son lives with his mum in the UK. Secondly, my ex wife wont let me take him abroad to Spain or Europe only in the UK. It is illegal but I cant afford to fight it yet. So it limits my chances to see him.
I love your resilience, even when you don’t sleep you still 😊. I have been unwell for a couple of days and was just about fed up with TH-cam, then I came across your vlog, it has giving me a real lift and I’m gagging to get back out on the hills , I do most of my walking and camping here in Ireland. You should visit and do a vlog sometime. Your beautiful accent reminds me of my cousins who live in Manchester . Stay safe and keep the videos coming 👍
Who wants to go wild camping in the Lake District this year???
me!
Damn right, I bought a load of gear at the end of last year just as the clocks turned, aiming to solo wild camp I didnt find 5pm bedtime appealing so bring on 29th March :D
Me n I am from British Hong Kong.
@@yxhankun not anymore?
yxhankun get yourself over to the uk 👍
Lovely! That's what it's all about - even the cold, wind and rain : ) Place Fell was my first fell in Feb 2001, and Angle Tarn my first wild camp later that spring. Thanks for bringing back the memories!
the song is so just so perfect... beautiful ladies.. outdoors,what else could I ask for?
Thank you for the video! I've only just found this and it's just what I need as I'm slowly healing up from a shattered femur from late November and I'm missing the outdoors immensely. Thank you for the simple beauty of this video filled with two beautiful souls, it brought a tear to my eye.
Great video. Down to earth, easy to watch, interesting and lovely music. Looking forward to seeing more Athena and Heather
Great video again Athena, you and Heather are such an epitome of all that is good in the "Youth of today", and there's a great deal, well done ladies,now pls hang around while I find the keys to the "Delorean" and root out the Speedo's !, I'm on me way !!!!
Well done,more of the same and most important stay safe.
Thanks Ed :)
Great to see a young couple enjoying nature like this
Returning home from work meetings on the train and missing the hills, found your channel and it’s put those blues at bay! Great stuff :)
Brings back a lot of happy memories of the coast to coast walk I did a few years ago the lake district is fabulous you have a newer version of my orange MSR tent regards mike
Absolutely gorgeous video! Love the Lake District 😍 your Choice of music, editing... just everything is wonderful! Thank you for sharing.

Such a sensitively created video Crystallizing the outstanding beauty of the Lake District. I love that place and you really captured its essence, thank you.
Wow...I love the colours and Heather matching. Good to see you both 🤗
I love the fact at some point your vlog involves a cuppa of tea.....I also like your relaxed presentation during. Keep them coming 🙋🏼♂️
Always! It's going to become a thing haha!
Beautiful scenery and music. One thing I really like is that you showed the route on the map. Subscribed!
I liked that as well. It was the moment where I stopped and compared the route to an online map.
Wish I met you 30 years ago wot babes love the vid🇬🇧👍
This just makes me happy
Stumbled across your channel and I'm glad I did - I could feel my heart rate slow as I watched. There's a gentleness to autumn that you capture really well. 😊 I cycle and often miss the calm as I fly through. May linger more often now. Great vlog! 👍
Great video Athena. And I really like the way you add the extra details in your description. Keep up the great work... and adventuring!
Trying to make it as accessible as possible for others :)
Heather has an incredible smile, I hope you two do more videos together, wild camping & swimming......loved the music also....👍🏻
Truly inspiring video from 2 great people thank you these videos keep me going as I ly up with a torn calf and Achilles tendon..The swim was great.Great to get out there.👍👍
What a beautiful video, music, scenery, so inspiring. Inspired me to start planning a trip to the lakes. Respect and may the sun always shine on your faces.
May the road rise to meet you and the wind be always on your back
Stunning scenery, thanks for sharing. I hope you two had nice snuggles and stayed warm.
Wow thank you that brought so many good memories for me as a young lad, who like you, enjoyed the outdoors camping in the Lake District. Music is powerful too , great.
Heather is a brave woman it’s a beautiful view in such a beautiful part of the country,I have only been in the lakes a few times . When I finish my camper van build I will be seeing a lot more of it thanks for sharing your video

How refreshing, great scenery great experience, I so miss the hills and wild camping, you've inspired me to get back to, I have too for the sack of soul.
What a beautiful video capturing an autumn experience in the stunning lake district. Relaxing, serene yet invigorating with the cold dip in rydal water lol awesome. Thanks for sharing this

First time I've come across you vlog. I enjoyed watching it and will be watching many more.

Thank you for magnificently catching the beauty of the Lake District. The colours of the vegetation it’s so breathtaking, the music captures the essence of the surroundings. This scenery inspired many works of romantic literature, it’s not hard to see why.
Always great music!
Fantastic video and great songs. Can't wait to go wild camping for the first time soon.
I watch a lot of wild camping pages and you are definitely one of the more talented at the videographers in the genre, a pleasure to watch! :)
What a fantastic video, looks like you ladies certainly were living the dream. You have such an infectious smile and a great passion for the outdoors. Loved the music to this video.
Thanks for sharing, stay safe ATB Dave Outdoors 👍
Wonderful. I wild camped there a few years ago with some friends and it's gem of a place. Cheers.
Spent 25 out of my 25 years holidaying in the lakes, and I love to see videos like this, doing the lakes justice.

Great vlog, really enjoyed watching this 😊
Thank u for uploading such a beautiful video,,.
I've spent a few nights at that Tarn... beautiful spot girls...good choice 😁
Thank you, for taking us on your tour via video.
I just been in LD last summer for the first time. Love that mornings on the lakes site, sun go up on rocks and quiet...Fresh coffee and tea, breakfast and go another day... take care ladys. Tom
The lakes are awsome, great video.
Beautiful scenery! Great part of the country
Lovely scenery. Thanks for sharing.
What a lovely spot for a wild camp even the you said it was cold it looked like you both enjoyed it. Great video .
Thank you! It was a great experience :)
Well done ladies, right enjoyed this video, many thanks
What a fairy tale country. Thanks for the video; very pleasant and entertaining.
Super filming... Great place to hike
This is the way I like to experience Europe. I have done this in the Alps where I shouldn't have been 'camping'. I was hammocking and really only there between sundown and sunup. Those were the best nights and mornings. I would love to travel the Uk camping all over.
Excellent watch, really enjoyed sharing your adventure..
love angle tarn so i watched this video which was great, and i now have a new music playlist, thanks soo much you have made my day..
Very pretty landscapes and beautiful photography. That looked like a great time camping.
That was a lovely video and a great channel, I live not too far from Ullswater and I love filming there and the Eden Valley. Thanks so much for sharing.
What a great video! I've never done a wild camp... It's inspired me to get out there and do it!
go do it Jack,you wont ever look back.
Thank you for bringing 12:50 seconds of happiness into my often drab existence. The photography and music, together with your collective personalities were so enjoyable. As for Heather, I believe the appropriate adjective would be: brave.
