A bit of Tenacious Tape will sort out that pin hole.
Cracker this Dave. From start to finish, chilled & chatty...perfection. Really enjoy your longer films. Thanks for sharing👍
Nice one Dave...I'm off up Cross fell tomorrow night. Was considering it now after watching I'm getting sorted. Going up from Kirkland 👍👍🍻🍻
I'm sharing Dave's channel with everyone I know. This wonderful content deserves a bigger audience!
That was fantastic
Big thanks Steven. It was an amazing trip for sure 🙏🏻. Glad you enjoyed it too 👍
Genuinely looked so happy in that one Dave, lovely to see
Big thanks John. Is amazing what a bit of sun can do 🌞 ATB 👍
Superb Dave again I really wanna do this but as you know I always go with my mate Riley my spaniel it’s just something we always do together I’ll have to come up with a plan on my own for this one. 🤔
Another belter Dave 👌💪👊 lovely to see you back in the lakes again. I was actually up there too for a week staying at pooley bridge. Yep Friday through Friday and yep the weather closed in big time I pity anybody who was up high caught in it proper disorientating impossible to navigate with out aides. Only managed hallin fell and gowbarrow as the missis isn’t a massive walker oh and Greenside mine 😉 Great drone footage too. 👌😉
Green crag the place I fell in a bog waste deep trying to do a short cut, nobody about didn’t think I was getting out 😂
What can I say!! we absolutely love Eskdale we've explored all these Foothills most Birkett classified not many Wainwrights I think are the best Micro Mountains in't Lakes and Harter Fell is my favourite of the lot...Green Crag also another la'al belter...great video superb drone footage reminds me I need to take another trip down that way soon Have a great weekend bud tek care stay safe ATVB Andy and The ROCK STAR ⭐ 🙏🏻
I walked the same fell several weeks back, but i did it from SeaThwaite via the Wallowbarrow gorge. Yes the area is magic. I lived in the Lakes for 14 years and never gave the area a glance (wrong move) i love the place, its so quite and the views are great. Caw, Stickle pike, very similar.
Amazing place to camp. Scenery is fantastic
Superb video and amazing scenery
Glad you enjoyed it Steven. ATB 👍
Really enjoyable vlog Dave and what a stunning pitch. Good to see you're still using boots rather than trail shoes that seem to be favour. The weather has been dreadful over here in North Wales, never known it so bad. Thanks Dave for uploading such a fantastic adventure.
Hi Dave, yet another great video and fantastic scenery. I used to wear shorts and tee shirt during my summer day hikes / camping. Bitten by insects causing a rash. During hiking holiday in Scotland, felt a sharp pain in my leg. Pain eased off , later back at base, I noticed a tick attached to leg. Could see it pulsating - feeding off my blood. I removed insect and hours later red bull circle appeared. Returned home and visited GP surgery and nurse examined it. She told me to keep area clean and to contact again should condition persists. All the best Dave, from Philip.
Longer format Dave, absolutely love it 😁 Hope youre well, Adge
Glad you like it Al. ATB 👍
Enjoyed the video and another great spot. Great to see u in the lakes again.
Nice one Peter. Many thanks 🙏🏻
Great great video Dave…just shows you don’t need to go high….Solitude wine and chocolate in the Lakes can’t be bad. ATP Jim.❤️🏔️👍
Absolutely Jimbo. Glad you enjoyed it pal 🙏🏻
What a stunning pitch! What's the name of the fell?
It’s Green Crag 👍
Great vid Dave, loved the golden sunlight on the crag and views out to the mountains .👍👍👏👏👏
🙏🏻
Any bike self adhesive patch will fix the leak in your BeFree at low cost👍🏻Park Patches for eg.
Nice one UP 👍
Really nice and relaxing camp Dave 👍. Great spot to pitch the tent!
Cheers Tod. Glad you enjoyed it. ATB 👍
Hi mate good video, I like out of the way hikes camps.. what navigation app do you use to keep you on track ?
Cheers. Just OS maps on my phone 👍
@@TheSoloSummiteer thanks, been using outdoor active but might move to OS
Hoping to get out next week to Eskdale for a couple of nights. Can’t wait!
Enjoy 👌🏻
Love your longer videos with all the drone footage and your detailed geography of the area,great to watch
Big thanks as always Harry 🙏🏻
Fantastic video mate 👍
Big thanks Marcus 👍
Another great video Dave. Lovely hill, stunning views. Love your relaxed, easy style, never any dramas. Thanks for your videos, I'm off to the hills.😊
Really appreciate that Steve. Thank you and have a good un 😎🙏🏻
Great video Dave... I had a laugh when you said "to prove I'm not a bagger, I'm not gonna touch it"... Then a few seconds later you proceed to touch it whilst disguising it as asking what's the actual summit 🤣 I see you what you did there 🧐🤣
I know 🤦🏻♂️. 🤣😂👍
Hi mate, I've made myself a walk from fox field to Keswick which I'm doing next month and green crag is where I'll spend my first night so cheers for the video, looks spot on for a camp👍
That’s quality. Good luck with it. ATB 👍
@@TheSoloSummiteer thanks mate, just hope we get better weather for August 🤞
Excellent video! Thank you!
🙏🏻
A moment of silence to all those that haven't seen this yet. 💪🏽👏🏽
🙏🏻
Dave yet Another great video from a Darrener, just goes to show you dont need to camp way up high to enjoy the surroundings, i have one near me 517mtrs called Bouldsworth Hill great views not as good as yours were but still awesome and solitude to. keep them coming
Nice one Derek. Sounds like you have a great little hill there 👌🏻👍🙏🏻
Another belter Dave, you have been lucky with the weather there 👌Good luck with the Mozi repeller , i hope it works . I had the first ever one of them type of things in Belize in 1984 and i can catagorically say that it was shite . It was supposed to imitate the buzz of the ones that dont bite which was supposed to stop the bitey ones from biting or that was the marketing that i fell for 🙄. It's weird how all the other insect life is disappearing but those nasty little buggers are thriving, if there was one species that i would like to see go for good its those horrible things. Lets hope we see a bit more of that sun over the next few weeks before summers done 🙏 ATVB
Haha. Nice one Olan 😁. Well, if it doesn’t work there’s always “meditation mode”, eh 😵💫🤣👍
@@TheSoloSummiteer i reckon getting more wine down your neck might work a lot better 😜
You can tell that every time you do a wainwright - a little part of you dies.
🤣👍
I’m not a bagger 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
🤷♂️😆👍
Fantastic job love to see the views keep it up 👍 😊
Cheers Mick 👍
Awesome route Dave reminds me of the back of mallaig in Scotland didn’t see a soul Always wondered we’re that path takes you 😊 nice video man fair play for carrying all that clobber I’ve gone back to the helm for summer
Nice one Trev 👍
For a moment Dave I actually thought you was having a pee at the start of that video 🤣 Bagged Green Crag Fell about two years ago your video bought back memories of how boggy it was, looked a great place to camp though. ATB Karl 👍
🤣. Cheers Karl 👍
Worst wainwright’s route I did was that area I fell waste deep in that bog land you can cut right near the tree line too avoid the bog
Oh no Jack. Squelchy indeed 😁👍
I’d had just come off a camp myself from Upper Eakdale, as you was parked up haha. I was wondering where your video would be. I’d never thought of heading that way, but sure will after this, lovely stuff as always mate.
Oh nice one. You should have give me a shout 👍
Superb Dave,best part of the lakes.
🙏🏻
You're not bagging again, are you, Dave?! 🤣 Surely not as we all know you're not a bagger! Cracking video and I realised it was Green Crag from the opening shots and thought, it's about time you went up there, bagging or not! It's a corker of a wee hill and you're right about the view towards it from Birker Fell, such an expansive view with a gorgeous background, but the whole bit is a bit of a bog fest, even in dry weather. Agree about the dogs, by the way. If that had been kids or someone elderly, unsteady on their pins.
😁👍Yeah. I love it round there Irene. I’ll definitely be back. Take care 🙏🏻
Green crag punches above its weight. Great views. I did a round inc Hard knott, Harter and Green crag. That section between Harter and Green crag wasn’t too bad when I did it. Shame they don’t do a map with routes avoiding Wainrights, especially since your not a bagger😂😂😂💼💼💼💼atb
🤣😁👍
Hi Dave, brilliant mate. As soon as I saw the opening shot in the first few seconds I knew you were on Green Crag. It’s a belting little hill. Bit of bog trot which ever way you approach it, but well worth the effort when you get there. Superb that the rain stayed away for you. All the best mate Dave 😀⛰🥾🏕️
Definitely a wee hidden gem Dave. ATB 👌🏻👍
Solo Baggins 😎😎👍👍
🤣😂😁👍
Great video and great you managed to get a bit of summer. That bog between Harter fell and green crag is always wet even after the driest of weather. Wellies rather than walking boots .
Haha. Know what you mean Ray 🥾 😁👍
At this time of year you can see the Noctilucent clouds (about 85 km high, so still in the sunlight). About 90 mins after sunset. Easy to photograph, try a timelapse maybe?
Thanks for the info 👍
Looks amazing Dave. Nice to actually get some blues skys. It's been a crap summer so far. Hope it picks up for August.
Cheers Steven. Let’s hope so. It’s been terrible 🌧️🤦🏻♂️
Surprised at what a quality little hike and fell that is. On the to do list! Another great video Dave ⛰️
Glad you enjoyed it pal 🙏🏻
Mint camping spot. I afto get myself on of them mosquito repellents👍
Aye. Don’t forget to use the code 👍
