      Yeah I can't wait for winter and not having to deal with midgies, thanks for watching 😊

    Loved the video - it’s so annoying about the pesky 🪰 hazmat suit next time?

    Nice one Stuart, aye the midges are a pest! You should head up to the Scottish highlands sometime to experience our version of the wee blighters 😆 What tent you going for?

      I did a camp in Glencoe a while back and I'd never seen anything like it, I had to hide in my tent for a while on that camp too. I'm thinking about getting the Fjallraven Absiko Lite 2 ⛺

    🤣I thought you were going to do some honey collecting with that shield on at first...I'm sorry cos of them little sods it was your worst camp(any camp for me would be the worst Camp👍)...Bit of good news...my wife was thinking about buying a tent cos a couple of my sons go camping and told her how amazing it was...you can imagine the fear I felt, but while out walking a few weeks ago we sat eating our picnic in Goyt Valley and she got bit really bad by ants and said stuff the camping idea...I was so upset you couldn't imagine my disappointment😪😏😂😂😂...A descent midgie repellent is a Hamlet cigar...don't smoke it just light it...tried that citronella candle but that is useless and stinks...also lavender oil as a rub on...if that don't work at least you will smell nice...Yeah Garlic Bread(its the future)...might not keep the bugs away but will keep your mates away...Bloody Parma Violets are my wife's favourite...How dare you try to start her thinking about going camping again...going to unsubscribe now🤣...not a sodding chance...love every vid you post especially when you visit the Peak District...Cheers Les.🙂👍

      Thanks Les, only a matter of time though till your wife buys a tent and before you know it you will be hooked on camping. May see you on top of the fells one day 😎

    Nice one Stu. Though I do think those midges were bad karma for past use of the screaming banshee otherwise known as electric pump😂Haha.

    Ha! Those bloody midgies! If you're looking for a bigger tent, not too heavy and not too expensive, Ib can recommend the Sierra Designs Clearwing 2 Tent. (They do another opne something wing but can't remember the name) It's huge inside and has nice vertical walls so when sleeping it doesn't slope in on you. Outdoor gear review does a great review on it and I have to say, I'm 6'3 and I love it. Good quality and about 2kg in weight, maybe just under. As for Midgies, there's that new flextail thing i've seen that you attach to your arm and people are saying it helps but yes, citronella candle all day long :-)

    • @StuartThow
      @StuartThow  12 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      I will have a look at the Sierra Designs tent, I'm about 6'2 so struggle for space in a lot of tents. Thanks for watching and the recommendation, really appreciate it 😁

      Re the midges....If you can find any bog myrtle, rub that on you. Easy to find in Scotland but not in the peaks.

    • @StuartThow
      @StuartThow  12 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I'd have rubbed anything on me if I thought it would help 😂

    I may have mentioned once or twice before, but I hate 🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟. Im pleased for you that a breeze rescued your camp. Why would people set of fireworks in the Fells!!!!!! Still at least you had some soothing music to go with them 🙄. I felt your pain Stu 👍

    • @StuartThow

      Hopefully as the colder weather arrives the fells will get quieter 😎 Thanks for watching 👍
