Another Wow! from me Dave. Every time I see your drone shots I’m sitting going “wow, wow”! 😮 What a gorgeous area & a gorgeous pitch up spot 😊
Great video Dave. This is my favourite area of the Lakes too. It’s one of the best views of the Lake District from the Birker fell road. I was walking near Devoke water last year and did not see anyone.
Have loved your films around Devoke Water over the last year Dave.
It just looks so tranquil and has a different feel to other parts of the Lakes.
You obviously love it there and it comes through in this film.
Calm, chilled and always in control. Just what we like👍
Gobsmackingly beautiful plus truly stunning drone footage.
A very enjoyable film Dave, it’s such a beautiful place to camp and go on adventures. I look forward to the next one, all the best, Brian.
Those views are amazing! Thank you for another fantastic video!
Stunning scenery it's privalage watch Dave scenery footage. Always look for it get time. Great tent bright to.
Wow what a place. Proper stress busting video, thanks again pal, really appreciate your efforts.
Great to see the hills and mountains of home from my overseas location
As always nothing to complain about 🎉. A lonesome tarn, barren countryside, a perfect sunset and great views from the drone over Hobbit land.
Thank you for not showing the boat house up close. Boat houses give me the creeps.
Last time I slept in a tent was 1985 and I was eight months pregnant 😅. Never camped before so far as I remember, or after.
I don't have a favourite place, but if
I could have a last wish fulfilled, I would like to be at Blea Tarn looking toward the Langdale Pikes and have a choir there singing Jenkin's Benedictus.
Take care.
Great video, always enjoy the drone footage! Thank you.
I bought an Allak2 specifically on your videos Dave. Best camping purchase I've ever made. The quality is so good.
Great vid. It's funny how we all find an area afresh and re visit . Seathwaite then Harter got me loving the look of this side too. Doesn't surprise, with those views huh....... 👍
What a great camp, I think it's great that you had the second night without filming. If I'm honest that must be a bit of a bind sometimes. Just read some of the comments and it's clear we all enjoy the effort you put in doing, filming and of course the editing. You introduced us to this area through the films and we love it... Thank You ATB Sel and Tracey
Loved that…beautiful !
You’re right about Hilleberg, tried MLD, Tarp Tent, but now I use my Akto for winter, and the Enan for 3 season, they’re both fab, and apart from using an MLD Tarp now and a gain I don’t think they can be beaten. Great porch for cooking with a meths stove the fly coming down to the ground blocking the wind! I’ve also got an original Akto I bought in 1997, the leather patch model and it’s still weather worthy!
love your content ! we are keen walkers and I'm a big petrol head so I'm combined the two and bought a M3 Touring ! all bases ticked
Super circuit, Dave. I love that area around Devoke Water and you're right about the bogfest - never known it dry even in a drought! I thought the creaking was your knees...
Another enjoyable watch Dave. My fave area of the Lakes has to be the Langdales for sure. Not that I have camped since my scouting days but that rain would keep me awake all night LOL
Simply stunning camp !
Another cracking vid Dave, I always look forward to the remoteness and solitude your vids bring, I have 2 Hilleberg tents an Akto and an Unna and love them both and you do get what you pay for and some..
Agree with you about the superior quality of Hilleberg but I have had a Soulo pole snap in high winds. I’m a fan of Terra Nova tents too which have never let me down.
This is an area I’ve also camped before. Agree on both the bogginess and quietness! Parking is easy (and free!) and it’s an easy walk, so would be ideal for the winter. I’m also a petrolhead Dave and have three cars, one of which is a BMW M340d which averages around 49 to the gallon long term, but regularly does 53 on the motorway!
Stunning spot Dave great vid !
Cheers G
Great video, never wild camped in the lakes yet 😜
Hi Dave. Mega mate, what a camp, and you are right its' so quiet out there. I'm sure it has everything to do with the fact there are no Wainwrights out there.
Cheers for sharing mate
All the best
I got a new BL soulo as it was only £40 more than the RL, cant fault it and the quality is top, absolutely love the tent, I camped at styhead tarn during storm lilian in August and it took a bit of a battering it held up well 👍 ATB
what views 👀 you always manage to pitchnin the most amazing places , great camp mate , hope you feel better soon 👍 nothing worse than feeling not quite 100%
Me and the wife had just had night out on devoke water night before ,got wet though in afternoon bolted back to van to dry out ,just as you was setting off,😮 we love this part of the lakes when ever it's busy ,you can always find quite and the views are amazing ❤ stop telling everyone or wot we going to do for peace and quiet 😅 joking, love your videos thanks ,nick and June
Hi Dave. I’ve also owned my fair share of tents and I agree re Hilleberg quality. The only tent I have had which is equal, if not better, in terms of quality is my Samaya Assaut 8k. The only downside is its price. But I sold other tents once I got it as I knew I wouldn’t be using them again I now “only” have 3. A nallo 2, a Jannu and the Samaya. Great video as always mate 👍
Was good meeting you at the apex event fella glad you guys smashed it
Cheers Dave, you never fail, always an enjoyable video. Another lovely pitch with great views. Hilleberg's do look the business. Many thanks for sharing ❤
I have a Hilleberg Niak which I absolutely love and also a Fjallraven Abisko View. The Fjallraven is nearly up there with my Hilli on quality, maybe just a bit under.
another excellent vid 👍
So it must have been you we passed on the motorway, tootling along slowly behind a lorry! What's more we stopped at Forton Services just afterwards. Great camp, I can see why you love that area, always good to be near the edge of a range. We have found that views from the lower fells tend to be really good. Not sure what my favourite place in the Lakes is, Langdales?, Wasdale?, Northern Fells? Dont know!
Another smashing job you have done again with this video Dave 👌. Re Tent Quality and the Hilleberg Brand, i totally agree 100% Hilleberg are the Mercedes of the Tent industry in every sense. They cover all bases just like Mercedes does from performance to customer service. One thing i have noticed though is that over the past 3 to 4 years since Wild Camping has gotten more and more popular is that a lot of the other Brands whose quality and performance and customer service are nowhere close to Hillebergs is that they have started to up their prices and a lot of them are not far off Hillebergs prices which is totally unjustifiable in my opinion because as you quite rightly pointed out Hilleberg are simply the Best. Saying that after owning 8/9 Hillebergs i am down to the Unna and Nammatj 2 which I have only owned for almost 2 years and I haven't given them a massive amount of use yet because i keep going back to my Lightwave Sigma, more so the S15 and more recently the S20. These 2 tents are not in the same class as the Hillebergs in terms of strength and durability but for the weight and amount of space plus the packed volume, Dryability ( How quick they dry out) and condensation control they are in a class of their own and I mean that 100%. Given our climate, I am baffled as to why they are not more popular, especially in the UK. Because i like them so much I am seriously considering buying a spare S20 just in case they ever stop producing them. There are occasions when you need to give them a bit of a hand with condensation management but all that is, is just a quick wipe-over once during prolonged heavy rain. Due to the dark colours of the materials used, they do dry out incredibly quickly
Will have to check the Lightwave tents Olan as I'm after a new tent ( are they 4 season at a push ? ) .
Saw your and Going Solo review of the Nemo Tensor Extreme mat , you was right it's an excellent choice and a good recomendation
@@ShaunYoung-i3j Thanks for watching my videos 👍Yeah, i would say 4 season but I wouldn't want to push them on a summit camp if the winds were going to be stronger than 35-40mph. If i can manage to get some 10mm poles, I will be selling my Unna simply because the Lightwaves pack up to much smaller and are obviously much lighter although its that lightness that means that they are no match for Hilleberg Soulo and Nammatj.....i would definitely recommend getting an extra guy out point for the middle of the sil nylon section on both the S15 and S20 , It makes a big difference, i have attached a bungee cord to them on a guyline tensioner so that i can pull it out further to aid ventilation into the vestibule area or just peg it down tight when the conditions dictate
@Olan... Thanks for the reply , Olan it's much appreciated.
@@ShaunYoung-i3j you're welcome Shaun
Love your vids. My fave YT ones 😊
I got the Black Label Soulo last year and I love it. They reckon if u have the red label already, u don’t really need the black label as that will more than cope with our weather as you’ve already proved, but if u don’t own a Soulo, then spend the extra and get the Black. Really nice area that Dave and you caught the sunrise in the cloud beautifully.
Good stuff Dave👌 I’m gonna have to have a gander round that area it look great this time of year with all the shades of brown grass 👌 just seen one of the Apex vlogs…looks like you burnt that one up bud!💪💪👌
Thanks stay safe
Lovely area that, never been there, reminds me of the Teifi Pools in mid wales..can’t believe the size of your pack! I have trouble filling my Atom Packs Mo 50 even in winter with the Atko Lol
Great camp Dave, love de…e water , great place to park as well , great spot near the cairns, I have a wild country helm 2 and a durston xmid 1 and are both great tents mate, although I’ve not had the durston in strong winds yet lol, take care mate and keep them coming
Stunning views with the drone, just after you've pitched!👌 What's the music called during those shots, heard it in some of your other vids? Thanks for uploading, Dave. 🏔👍
i think we are all petrol heads at heart. my love comes from an early exposure to two stroke motorbikes. as to why no one goes there i think the answer is simple for you proper youtubers. winds are a shy of what is required by at least 80-90mph, and it's hard to get the £350 folding ebike (link in the description ) up there. great video as always Dave, hope your 100% better soon.
I really don't know what the secret is Dave, but your videos just get better and better.
Whether is a hill and a tarn like this one or the majesty of Wetherlam, it's like being transported away to all these wonderful places.
I've so many plans to follow these routes you've laid out and visit for myself.
I must have the same thing went up Grizedale and it took so long just didn't have anything in my legs and breathing was shocking had a good camp at coldale hause tho.i have a few different tents as well 1 is the hilleberg niak and I agree the build quality is amazing I think I might get the unna as well.
Great video Dave, fantastic sunset 😍 Not sure I've got a favourite set of fells, love all of them, but the Northern fells were a lot better than thought they'd be!!
Your the best youtuber out there
that was a great camp Dave, with beautiful views. as far as tents go, because of a few other TH-camrs and how they brag about they're hilleberg tents and how better and more expensive they are , and all others are second rate. I hate those tent more than anything else . I wouldn't trade my Walmart tents for 10 hillebergs . Also my go-to 4 season tent is an 18 year old US ARMY LITEFIGHTER tent that has been in combat in Iraq and Afghanistan and it's still in excellent condition. I would like to see a hilleberg tent do that, and I only paid 80 dollars for it.
Dwayne
I thought you were going to admit to service station bagging for a moment😂😂
Another cracking video Dave, lovely sunset. I was a petrol head myself years ago. Thanks for sharing your trip.
Forgot to ask where is that area. My favourite area is the Langdales.
Thanks
Another smashing video, thanks mate
Devoke water is an amazing place. Me n my wife stop at birkerthwaite holiday let a lot.
Mint video Dave great footage
Brilliant pitch that. Something about a sea view that just works. Loved that one ☺️ ATVB Robert
Such a beautiful area man, this video was simply gorgeous!
Perfect timing with this video as I WILL be going there tomorrow!
I very much enjoy your videos as you give a “normal” take on wild camping and I mean that as a compliment!
that rucksack is ruining the audio quality of you video :/
Looked a bit boggy Dave, keep walking through the shitty feeling mate, probably a bit run down. Great camp again though bud, the views are just stunning, can you not borrow the Black label poles from the better half 😆😆 I have loads of tents but always use my Akto in winter. keep em coming mate. Atb. Tony
Just watched your Everest challenge Dave, bloody hell mate, no wonder you’re knackered, respect mate 😎😎🍺🍺
Great vid as always Dave. An area I’ve never been… looks some great views though. And nice and quiet as you say. Been watching a few of your older vids today. Keep em Coming. 👍🏼 ATB Craig.
Another cracking video Dave! Yep, bit of a petrol head here too. Favourite place in the lakes is probably woods below great crag. Don’t shoot me down, I know you don’t like the woods 😂.
You did a bit of Wainwright bagging there Dave with three of his Outlying Fells, Seat How, Water Crag, , and Rough Crag,
How would you compare the Hilleberg against the Durston?
Enjoyed the video as well Dave.
Amazing skies mate. So moody. Love it. Photographer’s paradise
Just asking, Did you have phone signal there, where you camped I mean?
ATB
Dave
It looks boring to people. But the place is great
Good job it's not your bones creaking 😉
Get some delta pegs dave
Yeah petrol head! I remember when Ford Escorts won everything 😃Yeah also 60 mph tucked a safe distance behind a big truck. The you can watch all the idiots hogging the middle lane and tailgating at 80 in the outside lane🤯 ps mate you could do with an Atom packs mo 50 and or ear plugs for that Osprey😆. Great vid mate
Golf r estate
Was this 5th September?
Great vid and footage. How long would the walk from the car to tarn take?
Yup, petrolhead here or ex pertrolhead, single, 3 cars, 1 that hasn't moved in a loooooonnggg time, 1 that rarely moves but should and 1 whip! Once I got into hiking in the mountains a couple of years ago, I realised when a nice day comes along, I'd rather be up a hill than driving a car! Favourite spot in the lakes is probs Sca Fell for me, challenging route up (lords rake), high up, stunning views and generally quiet!
Have a brew on me 😉☕
Because you are mad.......
Coincidence. I watched yesterday jonathancraigguides of that tarn walk. It's on my list as wainwrights outer lying fells to do a bit of bagging 😂
Your feeling not too well and the routes will inspire me on my personal recovery.😎💪👍🏕
