- Coledale Horseshoe BIRTHDAY Wild Camp in the Lanshan 2 Tent
I head to the rugged Northern Lake District national park for a two day wild camping adventure in the Lanshan 2 tent (with 4 season inner). Night one sees us at advanced base camp (Rydal Hall) and a few scoops in the Badger Bar. The lads were kind enough to surprise me with an epic present, which is very comfy. The next day, we headed into Ambleside for a cooked breakfast and obligatory visit to the outdoor shops, before starting the epic 'Coldedale Horseshoe' which takes in various summits in a spectacular area of the Lake District. The ascent was tough with the usual heavy pack and we arrived at the pitch site looking forward to a well earned rest and a few birthday beers.
The next day, we set off to complete the next half of the walk, taking in some epic summits and enjoying some spectacular clouds and scenery. A variety of tents were used on this trip and it was nice to take the very minimal but effective 'Lanshan 2'.
The seed has been planted for the Durston X Mid which looks to be an epic shelter.
A fantastic way to celebrate my birthday and some top memories made
Thank you for watching and remember to always leave no trace.

That seemed like a tough ascent, It looked like it was worth it though to spend your birthday with the boys.
Thanks Dom. Top weekend out.
Nice video mate. Looked a great pitch. I’m always planning camping up there. Climbed it so I know about the final hundred yards 😖 walshy didn’t give his verdict on the wildegreet 😂 🦌
The durston tents are popular now. I bet ye get one. 😂😂
Yep another year closer to me. Wait till you turn 50 😖
It’s just a number though. Good to watch mate. Atb
Send storfgryt and pillows and lanterns
Thanks pal! The Goat put too much water in and drowned it 🤣 was top, nice area! Ace pitch site. One of the best, not a place for windy days though. Send wigs and fondue.
@@MCMOutdoors 😂 oh my. He’s forgotten everything about camping. Needs to get out more. Send shifters and van things
Class mate! I have never seen such a perfect pitch than this, it was like a lawn 😆. Look hard graft this one walking up to the site . I'd have definitely been blowing out my ass.
A fab birthday camp with your mates, can't beat it and what a top gift the pillow was.
Cheers pal 👍
Nice one mate. Top weekend out.
Happy Birthday Chris, thats the way to celebrate a birthday lad. Your pal is right about the fast delivery of the X Mids. I sold my version 1 last week on eBay and on the night of the 8th of March i ordered the version 2 and it arrived today 14th .....mega impressed with that even though i got stung for 88 quid by Big Ears collectors. It can take that long waiting for UK companies if you order on a Friday night....by the way do you and AL text each other and ask each other what tent you are wearing this week ??? He was wearing his Lanshan this week too :)
Haha, no I haven't spoken to Al for a while! Was the one person too small you reckon? I'm interested in it - looks ace!
@@MCMOutdoors No Chris i just sold the old version 1 and bought the new version of it because there are some upgrades and it's got more space. I would say as far as one man tents go this has a good amount of space . I prefer it to my Soulo for that reason and unless there are strong winds over 35/40 mph i will always choose the x mid just because it performs very well and weighs a 3rd of the hilly and it packs so small PLUS it drys mega quick whennyou get a break in the rain so really good for more than 1 nighters. Old version is 1P V1 and the new version is 1P V2, I also have the 2 person X mid as well and if i am on my own i find the foot print is massive but i mostly go to the Peak District where its better to have tents with small footprints outside of the summer months because its mostly boggy and damp unless you know where the dryer spots are. I think you will like it but do what i do and get a tape measure and some masking tape and measure out the floor plan at home, blow your sleep matt up so you can see what to expect etc ATB
Looked ace mate. Many happy returns....."long may your chimney smoke with other folks coal". ATB.
Haha, cheers mate - thanks for watching
Nice and chilled mate and that’s how it should be in old age😂. My worry is that I’m 45 this time which rounds up to 50😂😂😂
Haha! You look it 😁 It's just a number mate - I plan on doing this until I can't walk anymore. Then I'll just binge my own vids and neck craft beers from my chair 🤣
@@MCMOutdoors 😂 that’s the ultimate dream😂
Happy birthday squire...!
I echo everyone else’s sentiments...what a great way to celebrate the occasion. And by “seed planted...” can I assume you’re contemplating a Durston purchase...? My Xmid pro2 (first release) is fantastic although it has a larger footprint than my Duplex. Plus the geometry really does need as flat a pitch as possible. But it’s an absolute banger & although I bought it to decide which I’d keep, I kept both lol...!
ATB mate... .Wish.
Cheers pal. Yes, it looks to be a fantastic shelter! ATB 👍
Happy birthday again marra.....cracking way to spend your birthday chris ...I'm out on a solo next week in Northumberland testing out some new gear as always cheers for the inspiration all the best 👍 😃🏕⛰
Cheers Gaz. Enjoy your new gear mate and I look forward to the pics!
Definitely a good spot there and glad didn't get out of control weather. I've just got the same lanshan and will be using it very soon! The time goes faster the older you get so times like this are great
Enjoy the Lanshan mate. A very good value shelter and packs very small.
Great video mate all the best 🍻 I'm 43 in July and I really fancy a rummage up to lords rake and the west wall traverse 🤞. Great spot mate I love the lake District I feel at home when I'm there. Atb. The walshmeist 😎
Cheers! Cannot beat being out in the mountains! ATB, Chris
Happy belated birthday Chris, unfortunately I will be a half centurion next time round and hoping to do something similar to escape the usual trappings!
Enjoy yours Matthew and hope you do something great 👍
Happy birthday, mate. looked like a cracking camp. Are you venturing to the outdoor expo this weekend
Alright mate! I'm off on a camp with Matt - enjoy the expo pal! Will be a dream!
Awesome mate wait until your 51 😂I’m sure if I didn’t hike mountains I’d be twenty stone I’m sure it keeps me young lol I actually hate being indoors 😊
Haha. Won't be long at this rate. The years are flying. ATB pal
Happy belated birthday Chris in a special place to camp with some good friends 🍺🍺

I don't go out of the tent in mine Brad but you could on grass if it were dry. ATB
@@MCMOutdoors looking forward trying out my pillow
Happy Birthday Chris
Thank you 👌👍
Happy birthday young man. At 21 it is no wonder you had to wait for the older others. 👍🍺🍿🍰
Haha, I was sick of it mate. Had to wait hours for them 😅 ATB pal and thank you for watching

Nice one Simon 👌👍
Thanks!
Welcome!
What a great way to spend your birthday and a cracking spot for your overnighter. It looked like you had a great time. Nice one Chris 👌
Thanks Joe 👍was a cracker mate. ATB!
Great video really enjoyed watching 👌
Glad you enjoyed it mate
Happy belated birthday Chris 🎉 I honestly don't know where the years go! I personally want a refund from someone for all the years I can't remember that went in a flash!😂.. the older we get the quicker the years come around I'm sure of it.
Great birthday weekend camp had and that camp pitch up was brilliant! Flat & the scenery 👌,you definitely looked cozy in your evening attire 😴 & the awesome pillow 👍. Fab video.
Thanks Jane! The years certainly do go quicker! 🎉😁
Brilliant vid and happy birthday!
I see the Durston X Mid 2 is $300 ( plus a bit extra for solid inner) but wondered if you know how much your mate got it for including import tax please? Cheers
@Lee Jordan that's great info thanks Lee. Good advise to pay up front to avoid delays. Think it's one I'll save up for. I like the way that it's stable as soon as you put the poles in unlike the Lanshan that i have just bought before seeing this 🙄 if i got this right now i would be in the doghouse with my wife 🤣
Great video and happy birthday. What is the name of the lightsource you use in your tent? The one hanging from the ceiling.
Thanks, lighthouse micro by Goal Zero
I’d love to wild camp any advice for a first timer
Watch more of my videos 🤣 *jokes. No, just gather the basic gear and get out there - don't be too ambitious in terms of huge mountain, just pick somewhere relatively safe and get out and enjoy the experience.
Happy birthday dude 👍🏻🏕
Thanks for watching 👌👍
Another great video Mate.
Happy Birthday.
You do look young for your age.

Love that part of the Lakes and a brilliant horseshoe, has to be my favourite, which I did last year and loved doing all those Fells. Happy Birthday and cannot believe you are 41....I was 68 last Sunday and I always assumed (going on looks) you were older than me! It's a right bloody slog up to Grisedale Pike and even worse coming down that way and I only had a day pack on, mind you a young un' like you should be jogging up there! Great area there to pitch and given the time of year great night and morning as well. I thought the mist was going to spoil things but great to see it clear and a free park, roast dinner and a pint - it does not get much better than that! Cheers Alan
Hahaha! Cheers Al! Yeah, the old age clock is ticking now mate! You only look 18? It's a top area mate, really enjoyed that walk - was brutal but good fun 👍 thank you for watching pal!
Happy Birthday again Chris. Glad you had a good time with your mates in the Lake District. Looking forward to your next adventure 👍😊❤️
Thanks very much Cath! Was epic! 👌👍
@@MCMOutdoors no problem Chris glad you had a good time 👍❤️
Cracking round of Coledale, one of, if not my favourite places to be in the World. If that wasn't enough The Coledale Inn is my favourite place to stay eat and drink in the Lakes. When I eventually persuade my other to move to the Lakes, Braithwaite will be top of my list Chris.
This brought back the memories of the day I did the Coledale Horseshoe. Six hours and I was totally cream crackered.
Keep going with the Wainwrights, I'm sure I'll see you eventually 😉
Atb Andy H
Never been in that Inn before - loved it. The hike was epic! I'll be back (with a light day pack on next time) 🤣
Happy birthday pal, I can see you had a bloody belter. Now 21 hey, well I know you work hard but I think you must have slept on your new pillow for longer than you know 🤣🤣🍰🧁🥧🍻🍻🍻🍻
Haha! Thanks mate
HAPPY BORN DAY, you are a young fella, I've got 12-years on you.
Just a number and all that 👍 Rannulph Fiennes summiting Everest at 70 is my benchmark 👌👍
