Paul I damaged my knee walking the dog about 18months ago, result is I am awaiting knee surgery and until then my capacity to walk any distance is limited. Your videos are like a tonic, they take me to places I can no longer go, and your relaxed conversational manner is like spending time with an old friend. Thank you for doing what you do.
Unless you've been involved in a major accident or already had something serious like rheumatoid arthritis, I'd be very cautious/weary of any surgery. I did my knee out clearing up after rookie builders and my knee was in agony for way over a year. Later I developed plantar fasciitis (right foot first then the left), and that is only just clearing up. But imho, rest and gentle stretches are best, not surgery. Surgery can work, but you have a 50/50 chance of it going wrong too. I can't recommend a good old sports physiotherapist more than the scalpel! Good luck though. It's a bastard for sure, especially if like me, you're pushing 60.
That was a brutal camp, you get worried about the tent, the weather, ticks, get no sleep. But you still think about filming and make a great video. Impressive!
I had to smile at your idea of simple camping compared to the 1970/80s when I was wild camping in the Peaks, Lakes, Alps etc. No contacting the wife by satellite link back then, and karimats were the height of comfort. Love your videos, though. I still camp, but osteoarthritis limits the places I can reach, so I enjoy joining you on trips to some of my old haunts and also many I've never been to.
A friend of mine died as a result of Limes Disease in 2016. I am fastidious in maintaining and proofing my kit. I spray my kit before, during and after use with Permethrin. I seal the tent zips where they meet with a tampon so ticks cannot pass the 2 toggles. I always use a bathtub tent with micro mesh. A good tip is buy a bunch of Dalmatian Chrysanthemum (Giant Daisies) and scatter them around the tent. Ticks hate the chemical they give off.
Years ago I was bitten by a tick in my belly button. I was sick from it for a year. Fortunately no Lyme disease, but I did have some strange things. Heart palpitations. Usually early morning until afternoon. Vomiting often. General feeling of not feeling well.. I am now terrified of ticks.
Old neighbours of ours moved to an 'exclusive' area near Botley Hill, their yougest daughter suffered from a lot of ailments, heart problems, etc. for over a decade. She's only recently been diagnosed with Lymes Disease as the cause, of course they get lots of deer in their garden.
Good tent!, I t’s bombproof! And I was surprised to see ticks at this time of year. Good location though. I was up there at the end of last year doing some low level walking following surgery. Thanks for sharing.
Sawyer's Permethrin is your friend...I always treat my hiking clothes regularly. The protection lasts through around 5 - 6 washes before the clothing needs retreating. I also treat external surfaces on my backpack. Grassy areas like you're in will be good habitat for Ticks. When you spot one like that, if you can't just flick it out...could carry a small roll of masking tape in the pocket...just take a piece of tape and dab the tick and should stick to it, then can fold it up trapping it for disposal. Also...two words...Ear Plugs...I carry a pair in my backpack, and greatly helps with tent flapping in wind or rain noise during the night.
Melbreak is one of my favourite walks. I like to go up the scree from the other end. I never seem to see anyone up there. The view across the central ranges on a clear day is absolutely stunning and you can swing by scale force on the descent and then finish with an easy stroll along the length of Crummock. A lovely little walk that I enjoy immensely every time I do it.
Started following recently your channel and I am amazed with your camping adventures. I am new to camping and here in Malta🇲🇹 we are very limited and I never experienced such conditions. Well done for going through all this and sharing all this with us to enjoy and learn.
So glad your gear didn't fail you. That was definitely a wooly camp that's sure to go down in your journals. I was glad to see that you had your walking pole, they certainly are a good assistant when needed. 🌬⛺🍜💪🤳
Great to see you braving the bad and the ugly winds, hardcore 🤜 you did well to last the whole night, hope you had a good sleep when you finally got home safe. Our favourite pot noodles are Curry for my partner Gyles and good ol’ beef and tomato for me 😋 I guess if you don’t weather the storm you never appreciate the glorious days, better luck next time Paul 👍
OMG, what weather! My heart sank when I saw the intro as I just ordered that tent yesterday along with the PC version! That area of the lakes is deadly. I hoped it was click bait to keep me watching to the end, thank goodness it was! Great video and hope the ticks didn’t bite. Thanks J
Hiya, I was up Kinder on a camp on Tuesday and found a couple of ticks, 1 decided to be a cling on - good job you had a tent built for them conditions, you would of flown into the lake below in a naturehike 🙂
The ticks would have me on edge more than the wind. 3 pole geodesic should have no problems with that. That might be a spot where deer rested and the ticks jumped onto the bottom or back of your pack attracted to sweat scent. Check bottom of pack after putting it down in damp herbiage. Leaches will also jump on there. Check all gear when you get home - you don't want a colony in your back yard when shaking or drying gear. Always good to wear gaiters and spray them and boots with strong repellent.
Hi Paul, loving the content buddy. Regarding the fella in the toilets with the fragrances. Yes, you still get them. In some clubs the ladies will be able to straighten their hair in the toilets. Ladies can also buy pumps to walk home in. I got bitten by a tick in Scotland once. I went to my local doctors to inform them and they said ticks don’t exist in the UK. 😂 Didn’t offer any antibiotics or anything, just sent me home and told me to get a grip of myself. I was a lot younger then, I actually pulled the sack of the tick off in panic. I was very worried, but 18 years later, I’m still alive. 😂
very much enjoyed the video ticks aside, a beast of a tent, it didn't budge little or no pole distortion. given the conditions its good to know the tent will stand up to whatever's chucked at it.
Another great video Paul, got to admire your enthusiasm to get out in all weathers. I do like the look of the Nortent, but am struggling to justify adding to the collection of 20 tents I already own 😂 I did think it looked a surprisingly narrow though at the end you had your head at unless that was just the wind bellowing the inner.
Looks like the tent performed brilliantly in the wind 👍. Such a great design! Shame about the ticks. Thats never fun to see in the tent. Great video Paul!
Nice one Paul, I reckon you had stronger winds than I had in my first night in the Vern 1. Great to see it standing up to even more, shame you did not have the kestrel. Weird though, like, whats he doing in MY tent! Could tell it was not mine though, no
Well done for seeing that through! Looks like a great tent. That looked like one of those mornings where a full English breakfast is required! Great video. 😀
Great demonstration of grace under fire! I'm right there with you on ticks, have been bitten twice here in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, we are having quite the infestation due to the wild Winter just passed. Looking forward to your next trip, after you finish off your month of daily postings. Take care Paul and thank you.
Glad the tent held out for you Paul Baltic conditions looks a decent tent tho. Favourite spot of mine opposite your view rannerdale knot going back to lucky lucky men the 90s was the time we had them lurking in toilets good to see you out again 👍🏻
Not far from my home there, just outside ennerdale, I noticed the ticks are out early again, might be another bad year again for them. I will say they do like to nest in those tufts of long grass which they like to climb up on o they can latch on to things that brush past, so I try avoid them when setting up my gear, but its sods law if you get one I suppose. The tent seemed to hold.up.fairly well anyways.
Meal wise, I recently used the Idahon instant mash, couple of spoons of Bistow in a container and some cook meat. I found it a lot more filling than some of the dehydrated meals I've used over the years and would recommend giving it a go
Just like you Paul, I've found that guy tensioners slip in high winds. I now run the guylines out to their full extent so there's nothing to slip and nothing to get out of my sleeping for 👍
Was last up in Buttermere for the Northern Lights - stood in the middle of the junction you parked at staring up at the sky. Was an amazing night - Buttermere is probably my favourite spot in the lakes 😉👍
I use the same tip for the pot noodle with the Quaker porridge pots. I transfer the contents to a zip lock bag and write on the bag with a sharpie pen for the amount of water.
A brilliant video Paul👍, especially when you were laughing at the weather.🙂 I skipped through the non talkie parts, for when I'm back at home and can watch it in full.
Great video mate! Laughing at the bit about the gents toilets and the guys selling toilet paper, Armani/old spice or lollipops to you… can confirm it still happens when I occasionally go out to pubs in Edinburgh there are still some establishments with these legends in them 😂👍
Just a heads up that I picked up a tick on Dartmoor sometime over the last three days. Big old ramble from Oakhampton to Ivybridge so no idea where exactly. Great videos Paul - thanks for all your hard work editing them and putting up with the lovely British weather!
I don't think I've tried the latest flavours of Pot Noodle, but for 40 years, my favourite has been the chicken and mushroom, with a buttered muffin to dip in!
The tent held good, there Paul. So important when in doubt to get out in the cold and wind and double check the guy lines, even for the sake of peace of mind!
Hi paul just love your video can't do it any more can still walk a bit but knees shot can't kneel down so camping out plus 77 built like a coopers product so watch you favourite spot in the world crummock water closely followed by buttermere you seem to like most places I do keep up the good work mate I'll keep watching 🙃👍
Just a helpful suggestion. The tent can be tarped over. Stake it low, resting the center or the tarp directly on this tent. You have to use at least a 10 x 10 foot tarp. Use a quality tarp with guy-line options. I have a 10 x 12 hex design tarp. Though it is not square, I an hoping the shape will allow for cliser to groung stake down, blocking even more wind and rain. This way, the tarp takes the elements, not the tent. Makes for a quiter warmer sleep.
For camping I’ve always stuck to a 55 litre and never ever gone over that rule it’s lasted 46 years ;; Paul don’t forget to check for any red rings around a bite on your body just in case
I got bit by a tick in 2014. I contracted Lyme disease and co infection bacteria.Stole my health,my money,my career (mason/bricklayer) Still infected to this day. Now work a security job because my health is kaput. Red rash or bullseye ring not always present. Lyme disease CANNOT be cured.
Damn ticks. I hate them too. I spray my inner tent around the edges with stuff to keep them away. Also keep up woth my TBE jabs every few years. They are hardy buggers. They can surive into very cold temps unfortunately... Not sure what the solution is. Need to find/develop some kind of predictor form them... Midges and mosquitos I can stand, but creepy little suckers in my underwear no thanks.
I love sweet and sour the most. When it's on offer I buy a tray 😂. Perfect camping and festival food. Reusing that bag like reusing tea bags is proper Yorkshire! Yeah the bog blokes , spraying you with knock off spray 😂. Glad the tent worked out! Definitely look forward to seeing it tested some more.
Hey Paul! Havin' a Michelob Ultra Light with a shot o'100 proof Yukon Jack this evenin'. I take a small flask of the Yukon when I go on overnights in the White Mts of N. H. Gorgeous country!
Gorgeous spot, would appreciate seeing how you apply the permethrin Paul, as in where on tent/ equipment. I'm a bit averse to chemical repellants but even more averse to bloody ticks.. think I always assumed it might damage tent fabric or waterproofing but I'm blonde so am prone to silly notions with no basis in fact 😅, great vid , thank you for taking us along 👍
one thing I have heard people do with Zoleo or Garmin inreach type GPS messaging is to message someone else at base to check the weather online and forward you the summary in text form. I thought 'windy' was a bit naff for Wales ; meteoblue - too generic, accuweather too generic, XCweather - middling, skywatch crashes on me, as it pains me to admit it the MET OFFICE mountain specific forecast isn't too bad - tend to over compensate but.... maybe better they say it's 40mph gust and it turns out only 30mph than the other way round. they do seem to be able to model the mountain temperatures and wind a bit better.
haha love this comment. Was literally comparing that tent or style of tent vs just getting a true 4 season tent for winter (ft of snow type of winter camping). Everyone kept talking up that durstin tent like it was invincible..... I settled on a true 4 season tent. I want something I can depend on if it gets hairy and that durston is a great tent, but not 4 season bomb proof good.
Hi Paul have been following your channel for a few years and we think this was perhaps the craziest weather you’ve camped in. Hope you enjoyed a good breakfast and brew once you got back to Buttermere. Those paths out of Buttermere have been a real challenge with all the wet weather and subsequent flooding. We were there in mid September and filmed our route to Scale Force and the flooding was terrible we nearly turned back and then almost didn’t make it back! Check out our video ‘the highest waterfall in the Lake District - Scale Force’ to see what it was like back then. By the way we have always been inspired by your camping and still (even in our retired years) hope to get out and give it a go.
That looks a fine tent a fine tent Paul. Pot Noodle is my staple hill food, Alway get a load in when on sale, Bombay Bad Boy is my favourite. The other option is Huel not as cheap as PN but very tasty.
Great video Paul, curry pot noodle is the best (for me) and I also remember the "no splash, no gash" from the lad in the gents in the S41 bar back in the day 🤣😂 that tic got me itching all over just seeing the little blighter, bloody evil critters. You couldn't have picked better conditions for a first test, but as you say its solid when up. I'm even contemplating looking at one myself, trouble is I've already got about 5 tents at the last count 😂👍 ATB Andy
Whilst camping in Glen Dessary (North West Scottish Highlands) for 2 nights i was unlucky enough to have about 80 ticks feast upon me. Thankfully i have an understanding wife to check me over and remove them all. No ill effects.
Rather you than me! But that tick was massive, the ones I get are so small I only ever see them after they've been sucking my blood for 24 hours or more. And I'm a tick magnet, I get bitten at least 4 or 5 times a year, and once 5 times in one day! I've had to get antibiotics for Lymes twice. I've only been camping in really bad wind twice - both in my Saunders Fellpine from 1978 - but it really wrecks your sleep.
Great video Paul watched your mate yesterday Andy,and you today ,made me look at the weather for Yorkshire coast tomorrow I’m off,ps were you sitting on a footprint?
There isn't really such a thing as a Windy forecast, Paul. It may be worth spending some time getting to know it. Windy is a platform which presents various different weather models. Essentially US Global, European and UK. They often differ significantly, so it is worth comparing them. It really is worthwhile getting an understanding of Windy.
The only ticks you want to see in a tent are bad weather testing✅ Shits and giggles with yourself✅ no spray, no lay✅ Another fantastic video Paul well done.

Likewise, I broke my Fib a few years ago and fell across Pauls channel in the early days. been watching ever since.

@@tomfenn7149You were right about the age group!!!
That was a brutal camp, you get worried about the tent, the weather, ticks, get no sleep. But you still think about filming and make a great video. Impressive!
Hard enough to camp in those conditions, harder still to produce a coherent, technically sound film. Especially as a one man band. Bravo.
We all have different opinions on tents, mats, sleeping bags, and stoves, but we all agree that ticks can do one. Everyone hates ticks.
I'd be worried that the US meat allgery tickbourne disease doesn't come to the UK...
Bo Jailey :) when I get some camping gear again, we should do a wild camp together :)

Camped on more or less the same spot a couple of years ago. Lovely view down the valley there

Nice one Paul. Tent performed very well. I have the PC version which i love. Built for bad conditions!!
Didn’t even realise ticks were about this time of year. You got unlucky there
Think they’re out because of the warm spells we’ve had here. I believe they are just dormant beneath leaves.
They're tick nymphs and some species are active all year
Hiya, I was up Kinder on a camp on Tuesday and found a couple of ticks, 1 decided to be a cling on - good job you had a tent built for them conditions, you would of flown into the lake below in a naturehike 🙂
Paul that tent is an absolute Beast 💯 I want one, and watching you take it down was very informative 👍 ty cheers ❤from Michigan
The ticks would have me on edge more than the wind. 3 pole geodesic should have no problems with that. That might be a spot where deer rested and the ticks jumped onto the bottom or back of your pack attracted to sweat scent. Check bottom of pack after putting it down in damp herbiage.

You're going to remember that one for a long time Paul... Well done holding yourself together and still filming... Awesome 👍
A good test p-dog. Nortent make some good kit. I like the fact we are seeing some competitors out there in the 4 season region. Cheers Steven

Great job matey and, you didn't bottle it and leave like you see a lot of others do.
Really appreciate the time stamping on these films Paul, thank you!
The eyes in his head see the world spinning round , cracking camp out great views , I liked the tent
Thanks Paul. Waiting for my Vern 1 to arrive. Very helpful and reassuring.
Love your Lake District camps Messner. Keep them coming please!
Bombay Bad Boy...the only one worth considering!
Oh...and plenty of water for a lovely soup to drink 😁
It’s ten years I’ve been out of the country now and I see pot noddles have evolved!!!
Savage camp !!

Still infected to this day. Now work a security job because my health is kaput.

Lyme disease CANNOT be cured.

Holy cow 😮 be careful Paul 😊❤from Michigan
Try crumbling a few oatcakes into the noodles. Makes it thick, tasty and filling. Keeps you full up for a few hours.
Nice film as always. Really like that tent, will join the queue for buying one I think
Hey Paul! Havin' a Michelob Ultra Light with a shot o'100 proof Yukon Jack this evenin'. I take a small flask of the Yukon when I go on overnights in the White Mts of N. H. Gorgeous country!
Great video Paul, love the new tent.. I'm currently saving up for the Vern 1 😎
Same. Praying that the price doesnt sky rocket
Good one,at 23 min you said I wouldn't want pegs to rip out snd blow away and the advert kicks in for an airline singing Baby take my hand fly away 😂
“……And the eyes in his head, see the tent flapping round……” 😫
Nasty weather but the tent stood up to the challenge. Hope you didn't get too wet. Best wishes.
Gorgeous spot, would appreciate seeing how you apply the permethrin Paul, as in where on tent/ equipment. I'm a bit averse to chemical repellants but even more averse to bloody ticks.. think I always assumed it might damage tent fabric or waterproofing but I'm blonde so am prone to silly notions with no basis in fact 😅, great vid , thank you for taking us along 👍
It got ugly pretty fast 😂😂 looking forward to this one as seeing how the new kid on the block stands up in the wind
Enjoyed that mate, great video as always.. now time to watch the string vest video 😂
Cheers pal. It’s a bit ropey 😂
one thing I have heard people do with Zoleo or Garmin inreach type GPS messaging is to message someone else at base to check the weather online and forward you the summary in text form. I thought 'windy' was a bit naff for Wales ; meteoblue - too generic, accuweather too generic, XCweather - middling, skywatch crashes on me, as it pains me to admit it the MET OFFICE mountain specific forecast isn't too bad - tend to over compensate but.... maybe better they say it's 40mph gust and it turns out only 30mph than the other way round. they do seem to be able to model the mountain temperatures and wind a bit better.
You should have brought the Durston x-mid super wonder tent! That would definitely have withstood the storm! 😂
haha love this comment. Was literally comparing that tent or style of tent vs just getting a true 4 season tent for winter (ft of snow type of winter camping). Everyone kept talking up that durstin tent like it was invincible..... I settled on a true 4 season tent. I want something I can depend on if it gets hairy and that durston is a great tent, but not 4 season bomb proof good.
Hi Paul have been following your channel for a few years and we think this was perhaps the craziest weather you’ve camped in. Hope you enjoyed a good breakfast and brew once you got back to Buttermere. Those paths out of Buttermere have been a real challenge with all the wet weather and subsequent flooding. We were there in mid September and filmed our route to Scale Force and the flooding was terrible we nearly turned back and then almost didn’t make it back! Check out our video ‘the highest waterfall in the Lake District - Scale Force’ to see what it was like back then. By the way we have always been inspired by your camping and still (even in our retired years) hope to get out and give it a go.
Jesus Paul... I was sat on the couch and began to start itching😂
38:09😂. your sense of humour is the best Paul
Love the Nortent with the inner 👍🏻 Cozy 👌🏻
Great vid again Paul... Can't bet the original Chicken and Mushroom Pot Noodle! Tick season is upon us then! Nasty little buggers they are!
Had a very noisy night in the tent on Sunday - type 2 fun for sure.
Not a great lover of pot noodles but when i do always crumble an oxo cube beef chicken veg chilli just gives it that bit extra. Good video.
That looks a fine tent a fine tent Paul. Pot Noodle is my staple hill food, Alway get a load in when on sale, Bombay Bad Boy is my favourite. The other option is Huel not as cheap as PN but very tasty.
I love the Pot Noodle idea Paul, makes a lot more sense than shelling-out for those expensive rip-off meals, chuck some chopped Chorizo in - sorted!
Add some chopped spring onions and some crushed peanuts and it's a gourmet meal!
Great video Paul, curry pot noodle is the best (for me) and I also remember the "no splash, no gash" from the lad in the gents in the S41 bar back in the day 🤣😂 that tic got me itching all over just seeing the little blighter, bloody evil critters.
You couldn't have picked better conditions for a first test, but as you say its solid when up. I'm even contemplating looking at one myself, trouble is I've already got about 5 tents at the last count 😂👍

Whilst camping in Glen Dessary (North West Scottish Highlands) for 2 nights i was unlucky enough to have about 80 ticks feast upon me. Thankfully i have an understanding wife to check me over and remove them all. No ill effects.
I think you've helped me decide on a new "Me and the Dog" tent. impressive.
Rather you than me! But that tick was massive, the ones I get are so small I only ever see them after they've been sucking my blood for 24 hours or more. And I'm a tick magnet, I get bitten at least 4 or 5 times a year, and once 5 times in one day! I've had to get antibiotics for Lymes twice. I've only been camping in really bad wind twice - both in my Saunders Fellpine from 1978 - but it really wrecks your sleep.
Great video Paul watched your mate yesterday Andy,and you today ,made me look at the weather for Yorkshire coast tomorrow I’m off,ps were you sitting on a footprint?
Pot noodles a great idea, especially adding a little something like a pepperoni sausage. ❤️
There isn't really such a thing as a Windy forecast, Paul. It may be worth spending some time getting to know it. Windy is a platform which presents various different weather models. Essentially US Global, European and UK. They often differ significantly, so it is worth comparing them. It really is worthwhile getting an understanding of Windy.
I'm saving up to buy this tent at the moment, looks like it held up really nice!
The only ticks you want to see in a tent are bad weather testing✅ Shits and giggles with yourself✅ no spray, no lay✅
Another fantastic video Paul well done.
