NOT THE BEST IDEA!! Bothy/Dubs hut camping in the lake district.

- Ended up spending a night camping in a Bothy/Dubs hut in the lake district. At the start, this trip was meant to be a tent camping overnighter in the lake district, but we came across this Bothy and decided to sleep inside for something different.
We were not expecting other people to sleep in the Bothy/Dubs hut as well.

My dad used to take me out walking every weekend without fail - we roamed our native Yorkshire and all over the lakes. Your lad may not know it now, but you’re forging some of the best memories of his life in videos such as these.
Another fine journey you have taken us on...... Im 63 and disabled so these trails are now but a dream to me,
but its so fulfilling to just armchair it thru your eyes !!!!.....thanks for all you do my friend !!!!!
I be willing to come get you and do a camp with you, you may be disabled, but you never give up on your dreams, dreams can become a reality, can bring your armchair too
@@liamharding7605 amasing and brilliant from australia YOu have sparked ideas
Great video from down to earth lads great video pal hi from the west of Ireland 🇮🇪
Snap except age ;-) I might be older or younger lol lol
@@hoppingrabbit9849 Its his disability he is rightly concerned about
This might not be your sons idea of a great day and night, but i guarantee when he's older and you are gone, its these memories with his dad he will reminisce on with his own kids,
You're a very special dad,
Great video, 😊
Be safe,
When the people left there many years ago I wonder them looking back at that place tears in their eyes their venture and the ending it !
Yep, that would not do me at all; leave the Bothies to those who don't like their own company! Glad you tried it for me! Now I don't need to lol
I don't fancy kipping in a bothy, great place to dry clothes and equipment! Good to see your lad tagging along. Look forward to more adventures, stay safe atvb 👍🦊
Yeah with a axe murderer
Greetings from Florida in the States. I SOOO appreciate your videos because they are the experience of the actual camping and nature. So many American channels focus on cooking instead of the earthly experience. Thank you, cheers!
The scenery was Stellar! As with you, I would not enjoy sleeping with strangers in a Bothy. The interiors I have seen on TH-cam show a mass sleeping platform or bunks meant for 2-4 tired hikers seeking shelter. That aside, the Bothy system can be a lifesaver in bad weather.
Outstanding video as always Dan. Love the views . keep them coming
Nice hike and amazing views! English countryside is beautiful.
You’re doing a good job with the GoPro - picture quality is great.
What I like best about your hiking videos is the scenery. What’s best about your woodland camps is the meal prep. I enjoy them all!
I stayed in here a few weeks back, 12 of us crammed in. Some were a little loud but soon as a few of us went to get our head down everyone followed suit and was great. Tents are nicer though
Hi mate, 12 people I bet that was crazy
Love your videos. You are down to earth and incredibly honest. That's what makes you the best, ❤
Be safe,
I've stayed in dubs hut a couple of times, it didn't have the wood burner then, or the sleeping platforms, it's much better now. They're definitely mountains in the lake District lol. If I remember rightly, anything over 600m above sea level is classed as a mountain 👍🏻
I do love how when you wanna finish your food you say: ‘I’ll ring you back in a bit’ lol
Enjoyed the video as always. I only slept in one of those huts many years ago in the late 60s. i was 12 years old at the time. We used to call them "Shepherd Huts" they had no home comforts whatsoever. I used to go on shooting trips and usually camped out, but my uncle said we could try one of these places. To be honest, it felt nice to have some room for a change and be completely dry. See you soon. 👍👍👍
A lot of the mountain bothys in Scotland have been closed because too many people thought that they would be safe from the cold and bad weather in them, and spent the night, but came to a worse end than if they had pushed on. The weather here can change in a heartbeat, and what might look like a nice sunny day can turn soul sappingly wet, foggy, and cold before you have a chance to adapt.
If you are going out in the highlands, please don't plan your route around bothys and caves, but make sure you can either get to your destination, or leave enough time to turn back, and plot out emergency stops along the way. Stay safe.
As a finn I find it amusing you are talking like that about summer weather.
Part of the problem in Scotland (and probably elsewhere) is that people / groups are increasing using the bothys for recreational camping (as opposed to them being a refuge or stop over for hill walkers), and they leave them full of rubbish, beer cans and have no consideration for those coming next.
@@GG-im1cb aye. sadly, its the same people that have got wild camping either banned or regulated in the trossachs. everything is somebody elses responsibility to them. somebody else will clean up when they leave.
People are the biggest problem in nature, humans can be hideous uncaring selfish pieces of sh_t with zero consideration for no one and nothing but themselves, they carry all the crap in then leave it lying around because they couldn't be bothered to carry it back out, most humans are the dreggs and scum of this planet.
@@hornantuutti5157 I’m Canadian, no winter is as bad as ours 😂 over here it’s perfectly legal to break into a private cabin if you need to use it to get away from a snow storm during winter. It’s run on the honour system so thankfully abusing this rule is pretty rare (tho not unheard of).
Thanks, I had a great time as usual. It was very interesting there. Thanks for sharing. Take care, see you next time.🙋🏻♀️💕🙏
Cheers Dan for a fantastic video the views were amazing thanks Dan, that's were I'm going with my family for a day cheers Dan 👍
Nice to see your boy out with you Dan👍🏻
I once stayed in a bunk house In Scotland another camper snored like the sound of a jumbo jet, allow there was 5 of those jocks and just me I said I bet your misses is glad when you go camping, and he said yes! It hasn't put me off my trips North of the Border be maybe take ear defenders next time!😂😊😅
Great vid as usual👍
I have often thought about staying in a Bothy, that has made my mind up, it won't be happening, will stick to the good old tent. Thanks for sharing 👍
Spot on picture , really clear Dan amazing views to wake up to , least it’s not raining lol 🫶🫶🇬🇧💚
Great vlog, lovely to see your lad out with you as well. Brilliant that the vacuum mylar bags for food worked a treat. Haha snoring competitions with strangers, one tale for the next camp.
What a great idea you had there. Thanks for the link. Watched you quite a while.. love the newer content.
Nice one Dan!
Stunning views looked amazing.
Cheers Graham
Looks like a great place to go! It's definitely on my list of places to go and stay.
That place is awesome mate. Thanks for the show Dan.
great video dan ! thats defo a place on the list for a hike and a wild camp. Video quality really good too mate
Picture quality was excellent!! The meals look fantastic, especially the breakfast 👍
Passed there so many times on my way to Buttermere where I spent my childhood camping holidays. So beautiful
Great video. Footage was really good on the go-pro.
Loved the sheep joining you for your breakfast lol
Nice to see you out of the woods.
I have just been scouting around Derwent water for a place to hammock camp, with a view of the lake .... got afew ideas...
Another cracking video Dan it's hard country there but great 👍 was born in the lakes it just keeps drawing you back
Great vid mate,picture & sound bang on , first time watching 👍
Hi Dan , the Camera worked great mate , this was an interesting change from your usual Woodland Camping , it will be interesting to see what else you have lined up for us ! , Be Well my Friend , until next time .🙂👍
Great video and nice to watch your little adventure also well done to your son Kieran
I love seeing the places I once went to!! Thank you so much and subscribed ;-)
Good quality video, fantastic views,love them pouches
Cracking video Dan.
Definitely don't be put off visiting any other bothy.
They is some amazing bothies up in Scotland.
ATB Dan 👍 👍 👍 👍
Great picture quality, really enjoyed it
Great vid as usual mate, GoPro was okay to be honest, I thought it was great. Thanks for taking the time to share.
Good to see you visit somewhere different bud, quality video as per 👏
Looks amazing.
Them stir-frys look bloody good too.
I stopped in dubs hut briefly last year in torrential weather , dryed some gear , left some gear to collect next morning .quite a few already settled in. I hiked on further to innominate tarn on haystacks , camped the night . Brilliant area .
Lots of vids like this, but sometimes u find special ones, your vids are one of them
Thanks Dan, I enjoyed that, not as much as if I'd been there myself but still it's much better than watching rubbish on Netflix. Keep it coming mate!
Great video love the food bag's ☺️
The number 1 rule in bothy camping is get to sleep first so your own snoring does not affect you!
Hey Dan - Thanx for the great vid! The quality on the go pro was good and you handled it very well. Some TH-camrs swing those things around so much that it make viewers dizzy just to watch it. You did great though and it looks good.
Fantastic views, GoPro picture quality is great too, I’m still using the 7 Black, still a fantastic bit of kit and does everything I want of it.
Hi Darren, we popped in that bothy/hut on father's Day my only ever walk with my Daughter and her partner as it was pouring down! A special day! Sharing space with others has its drawbacks such as snoring or farting during night, apparently I do both as does my partner but he is a 🐕, my favourite mountain is near by Dubs Great Gable a real gem, I hope to see you on more Lakeland adventure's, and yes video very good with new gear. Best wishes.Mark Shaw.
Nice one Dan, a nice change from your normal videos. Cheers Pal 😃
Picture quality and sound seems good
Lovely place, I agree with you the snoring and too many people would have just spoiled it for me
Awesome sound ✅
Awesome views ✅
Awesome upload ✅
Loved it Dan ✅😃
The picture & sound was perfect.
Wondered when more people would show up lol , those places are always crowded, enjoyable video 👍
Thanks Dan the views are amazing pictures is good fantastic video you soon
Picture quality is great enjoyed the meals and the views
Good to see you Dan class I'll have a wee dram and settle myself cheers will
The go pro stability is a great addition to the arsenal .
Nice to watch your films while doing the shopping btw .
That is freaking nuts dood!
Nice to see you up the Lakes.
There’s some cracking spots to pitch up on Brandreth, which is the one nearest you and it’s an easy walk.
Tabbed up there with my little ones in the Summer, was hot as hell. Amazing views. Some nice rock pools for bathing in behind that old mine building.
nice 1 mate i hate them places when strangers turn up i go out ta get away 🤣🤣 i know loads of great places ta camp👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🤞
Nice one, Dan! Good experience! Wildcamping vs 7 in a stinky hut..... I know what I'd prefer! Ha!
Gopro sound and vision good as far as I can say, I'm only watching on my phone, though.
Yep, since Bothy’s became popular they are full almost every weekend. Try the winter and during the week if you want it to yourself. They exist to help hikers in trouble traditionally, but now are a ‘dry adventure’ for people who don’t want or know how to put up a tent. I only use them nowadays if the weather is bad. GoPro seems good. Just got one with wire mic etc.. on the media mod for my channel, and well worth it. Bad at night though so be prepared for that. Well worth the investment still.
enjoyed every minute 👍
Nice picture and sound!❤
Good picture quality and good video .
Another great vid Dan.
I have been using YHA camping barns recently. You might want to check those out.
If you pay the extra you can have exclusive use of the barn for you and your party. Worth a look if you want the privacy for filming.
There are hundreds of them. There is a years worth of content just reviewing the barns mate.
cracking mate, hopefully i will be out myself in the coming weeks, play safe 😊
Hi Dan.
A mate and I went there in September.
Visited that slate mine,too. Parked there overnight for a tenner (?), I think.
Some great stuff at that mine, made from slate outside the visitors centre, ain’t there.
We stayed up on Brandreth,we great views of Lake Buttermere and Scotland in the distance. We saw that bothey as we were walking up to Brandreth.
Didn’t fancy it, myself.I your planning on more walks up there, try and get up to Three Tarns. Great view of Scafell Pike.
All the best 👍🏾🇬🇧
Having had to use ratpacks on ops in the past 😩 and looking at the price of in the bag meals for camping , the opportunity of sealing your own home cooking favourites in bags is great. Thank you. 👍👍
Nice to see you out and about, never stayed in a bothy, not really sure if I'd like to with other folks in there I don't know.
I've stayed in many bothies, the ones in the lake District can get pretty busy as do some in Scotland, the ones in the kielder forest are a bit more private, they are a lot harder to find scattered about in a forest, plus you get to have a fire as there is a lot of dead wood lying around.
Great video marra , I know what you mean about bothys,that one is particularly busy . Keep it gannin, that lump is Great Gable ,all stone summit though .
Good vid , food looked good. I’ve never bothy camped. Maybe I won’t know with my snoring 💤 😂
Stumbled acorss @English Woodsman in this bothy when he was doing this exact video. He asked I would like to stay but I couldn't unfortunately. Looked a cosy little place though
Yes I remember you mate
Picture quality in my opinion buddy is very good. As for camping, I reckon a tent is the best option but great place to stop for a brew and a warm up if needed or a place in very bad weather. A new experience pal and keep up the good work fella
Mateeeeeee, cant believe how close we got to finding each other 🤣 hopefully see you soon Dan 🤘
Picture and sounds looks very good
I already have smaller sealable bags, but got some from the link thank you.
My Brother used to live in Penrith, The hills are known locally as Fells, loving your channel subscribed a few days ago when I found you.
Enjoyed the video.. could have been a scenery of a movie.. thnx 🥰
Parts of Mission Impossible were filmed there!
Ya great picture quality!=8)
So pleased you have moved on to new pastures as much as I love your channel I was sick of you sleeping in the campsite and the permission woods There is a lot of wild campers out there and they get all over the place You definitely need to keep up
Try being a little nicer when you make a comment,how bloody rude. you probably sit on your ass whilst making stupid comments like this but judge others who are getting out there and giving it a go. Let's see some of your adventures so we can judge yours 😊😊
What a back handed compliment😅
@Sammy Russell Didn't want to be mean just I watch Wardle mcn Adam in the wild bushman in blue they haven't got anywhere near as many subscribers as Dan has they put so much into their channels Somewhere near every episode keeps it fresh
You know he may camp in the same places that seem boring. You mentioned other " wild campers " who put so much into their videos, go off to great places, and have far fewer subscribers. Then, you must ask yourself why so many watch these videos. It's obviously not the areas he's camping, I can only speak for myself now, it's the presenter, he's down to earth, honest and funny, he sugar coats nothing, he's someone so many can relate to, the others you speak of, may want to watch him and see what they are missing in their videos, just my honest opinion on your post,
You have to remember, Dan has a wife and kids and he doesn't have the funds to go too far every week. Keep doing what you're doing Dan. Another great video.
Such a shame you didn't go to the top and look down the valley and over Buttermere because the view from Fleetwith Pike is amazing, great to see you're exploring my part of the country.
Stayed up on Brandreth last sept. Great views.
Great vid
Makes me wanna get out walking again
I always take ear plugs when staying places like that 👍
Same reason why I rarely stay in Bothies...
To answer your question:
A hill is anything under 1,000ft but there is more to it than that.. In England & Wales a Nuttall is a hill over 2,000ft
In Scotland you have:
Donalds which are hills south of the Highlands over 2,000ft.
Grahams which are Scottish peaks between 2,000 and 2,499ft
Corbetts which are mountains that measure between 2,500-3,000ft
Munros are mountains in Scotland measuring over 3,000ft
- There is also Marilyns which feature all mountains in Scotland, England, Wales, Northern Ireland and even the Republic of Ireland with a prominence over 490ft
I'm sure there are more names for hills out there but that's the ones that I know of but really a hill is a hill at the end of the day..
I will be in the Peak District soon for my first ever visit and I can't wait as I have a lot of interesting things planned for that hiking and camping adventure, hopefully all goes to plan.
It is NOT that the Hills are so High; it is that the Valleys are so low!🙂 Mining and erosion have had a lot to do with this landscape.
this is the comment i was scrolling through looking for, hope it gets pinned
@@riddlydiddlyimawantedmanin4442 Cheers Riddly Diddly!
Awesome vid! We are off to Scotland in 3 weeks and plan to stay in a bothy for the first night if it’s not full already 😅
Unless they packs say otherwise you should discard that water after boiling a ration pack in it
Definition of a mountain in the uk is having a peak higher than 305 meters/1,000 feet ❤
Good video hope your son had a good time ❤
It's 2000ft/609m we use here in the UK
As Julian says it's traditionally 2000 ft in UK which equates to just over 600 m in metric.
Correct. 2000 feet or higher is a mountain.
Just stayed in dubs hut last night with a mate, was 10 other lads aside from us too a few of them camped out then the rest of us squeezed in the bothy.. had a great night loads of good crack all round
There's literally only a handful of these here in ireland a shame really cheers for the video dan
great stuff
BL-Pegson & Powerscreen rock crushers and screeners i used to work for these guys. big rocks into little rocks..... great video pal
Picture quality is great 👍👍
I thought that sheep was a dog 🤣 great idea for a quiet sleep, ear plugs! I've got noisy cockerels and when my friend comes round to stay in his motor he uses them and says they work a treat. Even if you can't sleep for the rain or wind hitting your tent they will be great so it's well worth keeping a pair in your bag.👌❤️💛💚 have you walked anywhere on the Pennine way? It goes through my garden and if you do I will give you a cuppa or can of some sort.
Hills mountains 🤯 ‘anyway that big thing over there’ 😂 love your style mate.. who cares as long as they’re not flat haha 👊🏼
I just say it as it is mate
Great video and really good picture quality. Bothy not for me; a tent gives privacy and personal space things we value when out in the wild. Yes, of course there can be some advantage but overall who needs to be surrounded by complaining strangers. Thanks again!
