- I walked up the gorgeous Eskdale Valley in the Lake District from the Woolpack Inn campsite. A so followed the river Esk, I passed numerous waterfalls and plunge pools.
Turning right and ascending after Lingcove Bridge, I set up camp in the shadows of Bowfell, Crinkle Crags, Esk Pile and had the Scafell range in sight when the flag intermittently cleared!
The following morning, I ascended up to 3 tarns and dropped back in to the Langdale Valley via the band where finally the weather cleared and I finished at the Old Dungeon Ghyll with a pint and a bite to eat.
Wonderful hike in and camp Dave! Eskdale has everything except the crowds! Years ago I took a similar route and camped not far from Sampsons stones in the Great Moss area. This brought back a lot of happy memories. Thank you.👍👍
Thanks Anthony. I’ll be going and going again for sure but up the left hand side next time as you mentioned 👍🏻
Great video again Dave, not too familiar with that part of the lakes either, really stunning valley.
Glad you enjoyed it Paul. Good you can enjoy the experience vicariously via me!
Hi Dave 5:10 lovely to meet you … Dibdabs 😊. We loved our swim so refreshing
What a place for a dip. Lovely to meet you too, you could tell that you were all so invigorated!
Nice video mate, I haven’t been to that area myself yet, looks nice and quiet for a bank holiday people escape 😁
I’ll go again. It’s class. Next time though I’ll take the left path after the bridge, I think that’s where solo summiteer went on his video.
Hey!! You mentioned us 😂 Great vid, and lovely to meet you on your adventure!
Was great to meet you, loved your enthusiasm!
Love that little Valley

Nice one. Dartmoor is somewhere I’ve never been, I’ll have a look for your channel 👍🏻
@@boolay75 dartmoor is an awesome place hopefully in videos coming up i’ll show more things like the round houses and stone rows 4000 years people have lived on it where do you normally go 🤟🤟
@@boolay75 it looks like lake district is your favourite do you live near by
what is this footprint for X-Mid 1 that includes vestibules?
Hi mate. It was custom made by www.quintcraft.co.uk/
She makes it with or without vestibule coverage or anyway you like.
What’s your backpack for 10kgs mate?
I’ve got a Gossamer Gear 42L which I took on this one. It weighs about 750 grammes but not as comfy as my others. That’s the penalty you pay.
Can i ask how long did you walk for to get to that camp .thanks
It was a leisurely 3 hours mate, it’s a steady one, such a good place to visit.
Ok thanks not bad if its flatish
