The Pleasuredome is a hilarious name for a tent, even more so if it’s a nod to the Skegness/Fantasy Island raves from the 90’s, given that the Lakes are so far removed from that 😂
I think this is really skilled film making. An outdoor gear manufacturer should pay you to shoot a promo for them, there arent many that are delivering inspiring videos like this. Well done mate.
Congratulations on your 'ton' up Dave. A great personal achievement. The Pleasure Dome continues to carry out its duties admirably. Thoroughly enjoyable vid Dave.....as always. 🥾⛺️😊🙏
Hi Dave. Watching this for first time and by total coincidence I wild camped about 20ft away from your pitch here last night. Had non stop heavy rain from 9pm until 6am this morning. Great pitch though. 👍
Again an amazing one Dave, thanks for taking us along and showing us all the lovely views! I for one enjoyed it as always take care of yourself and congrats on your 100th camp. ⛺️🏔👣🦉👍😎
i know what its like climbing with hardly any sleep, i did the 3 UK peaks challeng, 25 years ago. Snowdon wasnt a bother, but i started to feel it after driving up (i wasnt driving thankfully and none of the other climbers were), then Ska Fell Pike was a bit of a slog and then Nevis, that id never done before, was a massive uphill challenge, yes, deliberate pun, this over 3 days. man, i needed my own bed after that, thankfully we had rented a cabin. the drivers were along for the party, well they were there for a emergency, being serious, as we had a inexperinced couple with us.
Unreal Mr pussycat, watching all these vids back seems like a daydream ❤ I couldn't have done it without you and Dan ❤ camels in Cumbria, barging in on a book reading club, you couldn't write it 😂 love you guys to the moon and back❤ atb Paul 🙏 🏕🏕🏕😁
I’m not the only one who has crap sleeps and in the morning feels terrible 😂 , cracking camp looked very peaceful and the light in the morning is always special .📷⛺️👍 well done on the 100th my 100th is about 5/6 camps away .
Lovely video Mr Solo! I saw the notification and immediately thought it would be the one you did with Mr Beavers so I hope we've got that to come then? 🤞🏻 And I looked in Sainsbury for those little choc rolls you say are so good and you've obviously done such a good job in hyping them up that they were out of stock! 😂 x
@@TheSoloSummiteer hurrah! :) lol, cheeky bugger, I need to find some to see how good they are! was also telling my mum about them too and now she's after some! 😂 looking forward to Sunday, stay safe. x
Must take its toll doing 2 treks and then wild camping in winter conditions. No wonder you were looking for an easy camp. Although I think your easy and our easy mean two different things! Looked a lovely spot and some superb drone footage. Congratulations on your century mate. I'm sure the Grasmere Tourist Board would congratulate you too.😂 You showcase the Lakes more than any platform I know.👍
Nice quiet spot there Dave , great views again. I've just accepted voluntary redundancy , I'm 52 and worked for 23 years in a plumbers merchant. So I'm working on projects , maybe utube 🤔
This was epic enough for me, You camping amidst my childhood "hunting grounds". It's 62 years now since we left High Close and it seems part of me is still there. 😢 Thank You
100 up!! Great achievement! Whether you like it or not, you are a great inspiration! I live in Essex and can’t wait to get back up into the Lakes!! Langdales it will be after watching this!
Hell yeah congratulations on your 100th camp...another very enjoyable video..the views the following morning were great with ever changing light..just when I thought it was too windy for the drone...as ever superb drone footage and accompanying music... Here's to your next 100 camps, many thanks and best wishes
Nice one Dave. Lovely relaxed stroll and sleep. Like you said, they can't all be epics and why would you want them to be? We do this cos we want to be able to relax and enjoy it, it's exciting but it's not always fun doing 20 mile horseshoes and clinging onto a mountaintop in 60 mph winds. Love your stuff mate.
Congratulations on the 100th camp Dave! No substitute for mountain mileage regardless of length of time you've been at it 😊 Keep safe and well, Adge and B 😊
Love the Skylarks singing , one of my favourite sounds . I camped on Birks last year and a Skylarks was singing above me in the dark at midnight , very strange but a welcomed sound .
Loved this and the last one. Stunning visuals and lovely touches (sound of a Skylark, music selection 🥰). Looking instagram worthy to me 😃 Big congrats on 100 camps 🥳🎉
In 2021 my wife and i walked through that up to Sergeant Man for our first wildcamp in over 20 years. Found navigating all the lumps and bumps quite confusing, but great views. Enjoyed this one. Congratulations on 100 camps, your experience shows. ATB, Roger
Another cool video Dave. An 'easy' one now and again does the world of good. Some lovely drone footage there too. Makes me miss England so much. Thanks for sharing, be safe.
They don't all have to be cliff edge , wild weather adventures for good content Dave 👍😁 stunning Lake District speaks for its self and you capture it all perfectly.. 🎉 congrats on reaching your 100th wildcamp 🏕👍 that's some going in 6 years and every trip we gain a bit of knowledge as the learning never stops 😁 great video dave 👍👍👍😁
Another beautifully shot camp Dave. Your vids show off the lakes in winter so well. Just caught the rainbow over the valley , the skylark signalling spring incoming - perfect 👍👍👍👍👍👏👏
Well done Dave, that’s a big hurdle (100 camps) to have leapt over in a relatively short period of time. Congratulations, and such a relaxing, get away from it, camp out in nature at one with the world type of gig! All the best and looking forward to the leap forward on Sun the 26th!! A few more hours to work with and no doubt opens up more possibilities for you into the evenings. Looking forward to it! 👌🙏🙏
Super one, as always, Dave, and the chilled, shorter route videos are just as enjoyable as the epics as it's all part of the experience in the mountains. I had to laugh though - it's an easy one, he says, as he charges through Grasmere at warp speed and then puffs uphill like a steam train! I love that ridge between Silver Howe and Blea Rigg, with the views to the Langdales, so I recognised your pitch and remember it well. It's a super ridge to bimble along and just relax and explore all the nooks and crannies. Last time I was there, it was roasting hot I remember. Super sounds of spring to hear the Skylark and see the frogs spawn. Another sign of spring I love is the first Wheatear arriving back (or White Arse as it's also known, for good reason!). Congrats on the 100th camp - well deserved and don't do yourself down. You have indeed gained a great deal of experience in a short time, which is great. Quick question - what are the down booties you're wearing with your down pants in the camp? Are they Rab too?
Yes Irene. Don’t think I really do easy ones do I 🤦🏻♂️. It’s lovely up there and was so quiet for my trip. The boots are Montane Prism booties 👍. Take care - Dave
@@TheSoloSummiteer Thanks Dave,, mine are falling apart so I need some replacements. I forgot something else that made me laugh. You trying to say the wind and exposed weather turns your face red, which I know full well it does but there's nothing like getting your excuses in early... nothing to do with what you were warming in your jacket of course! 🤣😉 Ix
Congrats on your 100th camp Dave 👏🏻 what an amazing vista you had there and thanks for some stunning drone shots, absolutely breathtaking. Stay well 🤙🏻
I really love watching your videos. Have I said that before? 😄 Amazing views from where you were camped, makes me really want to get back over there again soon.
Another excellent vid as always.i think I'm going to have to do more camps like that this year mainly because my knees are starting to really get worse but still some cracking views.
Hi Debbie. I don’t give out exact details of my route or camping spots. Instead I prefer to encourage people to do their own exploring, just as I do. There are lots of clues in my video about my location. Good luck with your exploring 🙏🏻
Thanks for another great video. I recently bought a UCO candle lantern a tea light one. Check them out I think you would enjoy having one. They are small and don’t weigh anything. Good for warming the hands up and keeps condensation down in the tent.
Just watched this half sat in bed half in the shower, getting ready for another the day in the rat race. Thanks Dave ...keep them coming
Nice one Baz 👍
No advice needed man. Perfect. Respect to you and thank you.👍
Cheers Lee 👍

Congratulations on your 100th video…Thanks Dave…As always another top class video from a top class bloke 👍😘
Much appreciated 🙏🏻
I think this is really skilled film making. An outdoor gear manufacturer should pay you to shoot a promo for them, there arent many that are delivering inspiring videos like this. Well done mate.

Have you thought of instant tea? I said ‘ugh’ when my son suggested it but it’s not bad - and you don’t have to carry milk.
Yeah. Not sure I could stomach it tho FS 😁
