You know that you are old when you have to ask pensioners in the supermarkets to reach you stuff on the lower shelves because you know that if you get down to get things, you can't get back up
There is a content man. Who has no idea how much it helps those of us experiencing some poor mental health issues. Thank you mate, for everything you do.
👍👍👍 OUTSTANDING VIEWS DAN, you ALWAYS bring us the best videos u truly do!! Thankyou. Can't wait to get out and give it a go. Right, back to the vid 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Your best video ever, Dan (in my opinion). Great to see you out on the Moor with fantastic 360 degree views from your campsite. Equipment testing and food tasting were both v useful. A lot in this video, so I must watch again! Cheers.
I bought a pair of black diamond trekking poles, cost me 110 quid, I gave them away to a friend as I couldn't get on with them at all. Ilkley is a stunning area and a place I want to camp this year.
Walking poles...aside from my tent needing them, they are great for your knees and work your upper body. Always wanted to camp on Ilkley Moor (live close by)
Took walking poles on our walk across the country last year. Felt a bit stupid with them at first but by the end was so glad I took them, especially when going downhill.
Nice one Dan!! I envy you young folk as I'm past Tent Camping due to when I get down it's agony getting back up so it's Hammock Camping for me now on and I use trekking Poles 99% of the time. btw those Quack Things are Ducks ;-)
super wild camp dan stunning views, sorry i could not be there pall but i kneeded the solo wild camp i had been planing for the last eleven months...i know you know what i mean...just happy your happy and getting far and away... peace pall
April 17th 2023 just watched your video m8 great stuff indeed. Only came across ur channel and its best about for camping. Keep up the great work Chris from Northern Ireland 😎
Hi Dan I know the area well I live about 4 miles away I spend a lot of time walking Ilkley moors sometimes i take a tent or bivi As you saw some fantastic views All the best Alan
Great to see you out and about again mate I wouldnt call that a mat Dan, its more of an airbed, like we used in the 70s. Me dads probably still got em lol
I think you were sensible not taking your gear,. Does law you'd not have found a good site plus you survived lol. Loved the views, Mother Nature's glory. Feel lucky you share your experiences, thankyou
Nice to see you out and about. For me, watching you camp in the hills or in the woods is the same. Yes the scenery is different but outdoors is outdoors. For me anyways. Thanks for sharing. Take care and stay safe.
Dan, what a beautiful spot, it was great viewing especially listening to the water fowl and silence. That mat is interesting, I'm looking for a summer mat. Great to see you away from the woods and on the Moors. Take it easy atb Taff 🤠👊
Took me a while to get used to using poles I have dodgy knees but once you get used to them they are a great aid to walking.just keep at it and you will soon see the Benifit of them.
Dam it's about time. A normal camping video. During your lockdown over there in the UK you could have went stealth camping you're away from everybody you wouldn't have got in trouble if you would have got caught plus it would have been a true stealth camp situation and you have all that equipment for stealth camping and you didn't do it but at least you're back about time a normal video nice and long
I use a pair of trekking poles when I go to the Lake District every year. They're really handy on steep gradients, especially when coming down from a mountain. I was skeptical at first but I wouldn't be without them now.
What a beautiful day and evening you had there. Don't feel bad about the trecking poles, they exist for a reason, loads of fit healthy people use them. I got my first walking stick when I was 34 and my first wheeled walking frame when I was 40. I can't use walkingsticks now but I do use a staff in the woods but I can only walk so far. I love to watch these sorts of vids because it is nice to be able to experience places (even if it is only on screen) I am unlikely to be able to get to myself on foot :)
Good video, stick with the poles mate. I always use them, helps your knees and back when carrying heavy packs, also good for flicking snakes of the hiking track. Cheers from Australia 👍🇦🇺
Sticks everytime out Dan. Keep me balanced on rough ground and come in for using as poles for the basha if the weather is bad and I need secondary cover. Ilkley Moor looks good. I generally stick to the peaks as it's fairly close. I'll have to travel a bit further and check it out one day......cheers and keep safe pal.
I love the woods mate but I'm a mountain camper for the sky and stars was up the lakes Friday first camp of 2021. The tent you used would be great for stargazing great video mate. Also don't use poles myself even though I regularly hike the lake district. Regarding the strange noises I've never really heard owt strange but I've seen some weird things in the dark skies and they weren' satellites or meteors either.
Searched TH-cam for a review of the Trekology ul140 and can only find one by Gaziano Outdoors. Would like to see yours Dan as I think that it would be great when used in a Bothy I'd also love to see what it's like in a Hammock.
The golf balls are what used to give us a 4-minute warning when the Russians were sending over their ICBMS I think its called RAF FYLINGDALE another great video your a legend
It's Menwith Hill, I believe it's still an early warning system operated by the US. Fylingdales is near Pickering. Honestly one of the good things about living round here is that in a first-strike situation, we'd be so close to the first strike zones we'd be immediately incinerated, thus not having to go through a "When the wind blows/Threads" type situation.
@@shabingly I was only on t’phone to my brosef about this on Friday. I said the same thing, anywhere round here should be wiped out straight away, even if it was slightly over towards the nuclear power sites of Heysham or Sellafield I think we’d still be vaporised without much worry.
Back at it again!!! I’ve missed these duo adventures. Cheers brother! As to the poles... I usually always take at least 1 and if there is serious elevation or in the winter when conditions get slippery I take 2. I like being able to use at least a pole to do a porch on my tarp setup or pitch a tarp tent.
dan i felt the same when i first used walking poles .but they do work .they keep your body upright getting better oxygen in your lungs while walking up the hills and help with balance in windy / rocky conditions esp when you have a big pack on your back lol and it also helps your legs because your arms /wrists are doing some of the work aswell atb kev
I found that using walking poles slowed me down and made me less steady when going down steep hills. I think it’s some sort of psychological effect I can’t explain. Without them I scamper around like a mountain goat. I also kept losing them! I do think they’re good for giving your upper body something to do while hiking. Great video!
Can't wait 5th of May get out myself. Found a spot just can't get there yet need to get another bike. Once I get one get out more often then. Watching there sort of videos makes the wait worth it.
Love this one dude - one of your best... I especially love the bit where you get deep and philosophical about the P*andem!c and C*vid but then say "Anyway let's get down to t'pudding' - Perfect juxtaposition and perfect evaluation of the experience and of our times... I'm going up to Ilkley on a wild camp myself this week (that's why I watched this one)... Oh and by the way I've used the Trekology UL80 in a one man tent and it just about fits length wise but not much space either side. I used it in the Robens Arrowhead... Peace on wild camps brother.
Bloody cold on the moors,always about 4 degrees colder than surrounding areas.Probably nippy up there right now as we haven’t got warm temps just yet.Power to you Dan 👍🏻 keep doing what you love to do.
@@englishwoodsman Thanks mate it was relaxing enjoyed it. Keep up the good work. Can't wait to get back camping this year myself.have you camped anywhere near Saddleworth Moor? I go through the a lot was thinking of wild camping
Great looking wildcamp and that location looks beautiful ~Peace~
Hi mate it's a nice place but now wild camping could be stopping at other locations i feel small place like that will soon be full
When you're old like me with knees and hips you'll appreciate how much pressure walking poles take off your joints.
I’m with you on this one.....everything hurts....😉🤪
I know that feeling !.
@@bobhead6243 I come with my own sound effects!! Ohh..Arggg...Umff lol
@@DMAC1966 That sounds like me too , lol.
You know that you are old when you have to ask pensioners in the supermarkets to reach you stuff on the lower shelves because you know that if you get down to get things, you can't get back up

Lee quarry in Rossendale Lancashire is a great place for views and a great walk over the Moors
👍👍👍 OUTSTANDING VIEWS DAN, you ALWAYS bring us the best videos u truly do!! Thankyou. Can't wait to get out and give it a go. Right, back to the vid 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Strange sounds were probably grouse lots of them on the moor looked very peaceful 👍👍
The vuew is beautiful
After long time watching your camping video good
Really enjoyed your video. The joy of freedom showed on your face. Looking forward to more of your adventures.
Your best video ever, Dan (in my opinion). Great to see you out on the Moor with fantastic 360 degree views from your campsite. Equipment testing and food tasting were both v useful. A lot in this video, so I must watch again! Cheers.
Glad you're able to get out! Still in lockdown up here in Scotland 😒. Mind you it's only a few days to wait now👍
Can't get my head around why people think they have to wait for some little prick in a suit to give them the green light. 😃
I bought a pair of black diamond trekking poles, cost me 110 quid, I gave them away to a friend as I couldn't get on with them at all. Ilkley is a stunning area and a place I want to camp this year.
That looks like a lovely spring day.
They're a great bit of kit. They do wonders for your arms believe it or not.
Walking poles...aside from my tent needing them, they are great for your knees and work your upper body.
Always wanted to camp on Ilkley Moor (live close by)
Looks bloody lovely! Silence ...... fab views ...... bliss.
cool
Good video
Took walking poles on our walk across the country last year. Felt a bit stupid with them at first but by the end was so glad I took them, especially when going downhill.
My dad took me to Ilkley Moor as a kid.
Always seemed more remote than it was.
One word...Beautiful!!
Nice one Dan!! I envy you young folk as I'm past Tent Camping due to when I get down it's agony getting back up so it's Hammock Camping for me now on and I use trekking Poles 99% of the time. btw those Quack Things are Ducks ;-)
Do more videos like this.awesome
My 57 year old knees thank me for using poles 👍. The tent looks nice too 🙂
Walking poles are great for extended backpacking trips with a load.
super wild camp dan stunning views, sorry i could not be there pall but i kneeded the solo wild camp i had been planing for the last eleven months...i know you know what i mean...just happy your happy and getting far and away...
peace pall

Will be watching this later - just a bit busy painting the bathroom at the mo 🙄 well Rick is 😊 - Emma & Rick 👍🏼
Lovely spot for a camp. I'm definitely going to look into the trekology equipment; looks great.
April 17th 2023 just watched your video m8 great stuff indeed. Only came across ur channel and its best about for camping. Keep up the great work Chris from Northern Ireland 😎
just been up the moor today hopefully will get a chance to get a wild camp up there at some point.. wicked video liked and subscribed
Nice video, that mat looks fantastic. New sub from Wigan. Take care and stay safe 🙂👍.
Great vid. Watch out for the Hounds of the Baskerville! Never thought I would like hiking poles, but now my 50+ knees love them.
Nice to see people out and about.
Hey Dan. Get yourself a small water filter and couple of collapsible water bottles for on the moorlands. Save carrying heavy water.
Stunning views mate and a lovely place to camp, Tent also looks good might have to get one for my adventures
Hi Dan
I know the area well I live about 4 miles away
I spend a lot of time walking Ilkley moors sometimes i take a tent or bivi
As you saw some fantastic views
All the best
Alan
Great video looked nice can't wait to see you're next adventure!
👍
It’s such a pain wild camping is not legal in England, with the lockdown and people’s mental health it is the best thing to do!
Great to see you out and about again mate
I wouldnt call that a mat Dan, its more of an airbed, like we used in the 70s. Me dads probably still got em lol
Yep. It's looks about the same height as the foot end of my Fox 1 😮
nice to see ya both out mate ..allways use walking poles now my knees are old 🤣🤣.. just camp where you like best 👍👍🏕🏕🌲🌲🔥🔥
i always saw people using walking poles and think omg what a geek until i used some, did buy them for tarp set up.
Ace to see you back out :)
We use the trekking poles here Dan to fight off Grizzly Bears. Smashing Dan to finally see you boys out. 👍👍👍
What a stunning day you went camping as that sun makes them views even better 👍👍
Hiking in that terrain hiking poles area must with the weight on your back.
I think you were sensible not taking your gear,. Does law you'd not have found a good site plus you survived lol. Loved the views, Mother Nature's glory. Feel lucky you share your experiences, thankyou
Well done you both great video
Good to see you out and about again Dan
You naughty boy, let's get down to the pudding loooool...
lovley camp dan, the views are stunning...atb...jeff.
I have just watched your new video as well mate
Great video!! It’s defiantly good to finally get out
I prefer a nice hickory stick. I get ya im not a fan of them hi tech poles lol you have a great day
looking forward to your honest review on the new trekology AFUFT UL 140 sleeping mat thanks
Nice to see you out and about. For me, watching you camp in the hills or in the woods is the same. Yes the scenery is different but outdoors is outdoors. For me anyways. Thanks for sharing. Take care and stay safe.
Hi Dan use your walking poles, take Your kit with you to the top of the hill.
👍👍😂
All the Ps sir.
Do you not have a water filter system , I have a Katadyne filter , works great mate , saves carrying loads of water as weight .
Reet enjoyed watching that Cheers lads.
Usually only use poles for decending as they provide stability. Nice location
I use them all the time. They help your knees, hips and back. They have saved me many times from falling.
Dan, what a beautiful spot, it was great viewing especially listening to the water fowl and silence.
That mat is interesting, I'm looking for a summer mat.
Great to see you away from the woods and on the Moors.
Take it easy atb Taff 🤠👊
Thats not a camping mat...its a glamping air bed. 😎
@@andyroid2555 👍🤣🤣
Honey Jacks, good food stunning scenery. What more can you ask for! This makes a change to camping in the woods, change is good. Stay safe atb 👍🦊

Walking poles a must when out on the hills
Great video, it would be useful to know where to park when you go to these places.
Great to see you out doing what you love hope to see lots more these next few months 👍
The “golf balls” are at Menwith Hill.
I like the look of that camping mat , especially as I'm a front/side sleeper 😍😍
I use a pair of trekking poles when I go to the Lake District every year. They're really handy on steep gradients, especially when coming down from a mountain. I was skeptical at first but I wouldn't be without them now.
Good to see you out again Dan 👍
And we are back finally 👍 Great to see the 2 of you back out, out away for the woods for a change too 👍🏕⛺️👍🙏👍😀

Use them all the time it takes a lot of the stress off your knees
When you are out take a look lots of peaple use then
Beautiful area
Good to get out Dan. Well done mate, great video 👍
Your knees will thank you for using them when you get older.
Do what is right for you mate
All the best

Great sunset shot Dan 👍
Back at it again!!! I’ve missed these duo adventures. Cheers brother!

I like being able to use at least a pole to do a porch on my tarp setup or pitch a tarp tent.
I do bikepacking camping and hiking camping, always use hiking/walking poles when on foot. Never leave home without them
I felt foolish using hiking poles until going down steep grades and realized how they steadied me
Use them no matter what, I will carry a sherpa load with a head harness and poles turn your body into a 4×4 walking machine...
Was it any easier useing poles as your hands are always in use (if you no what I mean)

Is their any chance of you making some some English woodsman patches ?
