- Total solitude wild camp in the remote Eskdale valley of the Lake District
A night in my Hilleberg Allak 2 in the heart of the Scafell range.
A 12.6 mile (20.3km) walk with 2550ft (780m) of ascent.
Many thanks for watching - Dave

When I was 15 I wild camped by the stream to the right of the telephone kiosk. Brought back a lot of happy memories.
That wine holder looks like a drip bag. Surely you can find a way of securing it to the roof of the tent with a syphon tube and then you can concentrate all of your energy on the sandwich and chocolate bar. Stunning video as always. I generally watch them more than once they are so entertaining.
😆 🍷 👍. Glad you enjoyed it. ATB 👍
All I can say is thank you. 👍
Praise the creator 🙌
I wish that area was that quiet on a hot summers day!
Brilliant Dave ! One of your best 👏 makes you realise how small we are !
Absolutely Howard. Big thanks 🙏🏻
WOW just WOW 👌
The peaks above the inversion looked like nunataks in Antarctica. Breathtaking.
What a fun playground. Great creek for a hot summer’s day.
Absolutely Liz 😎👍
Oh Dave man !.......just epic M8.
Michael.👍🙏
Having not done an over-nighter more than twenty-five years, three days ago I took my 17 year old son (his first wild camp) up the Esk River and we camped approx, 50m below where you were camped on High Gait Crags. Words cannot describe the beauty of the place. The next morning we climbed the side of Cam Spout to the summit of Scafell Pike, returning via Little Narrowcove. What a great two days out.
Thanks for the inspiration, it was just what the doctor ordered.l
🙏🏻
Stunning. Reminds me of the Drakensberg mountains in my home country of South Africa. I now reside in Australia.
What do you say pal...well actually..absolutely stunning!!
That inversion with the drone footage was ace & a broken spectre too of the drone eh 👌
Real remote feel to that valley up there I do love that route up the eskdale valley..cam spout looking excellent & the Scafells..well 👌 superb.. stay safe pal & hopefully see thi soon.
Big thanks pal. I love that place. See thee soon bud 🙏🏻
Spectacular! No wonder you're chuffed with that one.👍👍👍
Big thanks 👍
Great vlog Dave and amazing cloud inversion.cheers for sharing
Cheers Harry. Glad you enjoyed 👍
When i lived in the Lakes my fav place was just where you are. It does not get any better especially when you have it to your self
😎🏔️🙏🏻
You know it's going to be an amazing video from the opening drone shot .the cloud invention is something else
Cheers Gary 🙏🏻
Yep, a great pitch.
Wow that’s the best drone footage I’ve seen of the Lake District, and that as to be the best views thanks Dave👍👍
Big thanks Mark 🙏🏻
This has to be your most magnificent video yet. Absolutely breathtaking. Can't find the words to say anything more. Truly wonderful.
Very much appreciated as always Frederick. Big thanks 🙏🏻
I watch all your video,s Dave i don,t comment on a lot but i have to say your passion and the views you show us are spectacular, i really enjoy when you show us what you have for tea / snacks (sad i know)lol . But its all part of the experience . Atb Nigel.
Haha. Really appreciate that. Big thanks 😁👍
Wow what a walk! Thank you for sharing!
Watched this originally on my phone..but had to stick it on the “Big Telly” to get the full extent of the atmosphere, views and your clear enjoyment of being in your favourite place. That drone footage..Wow...Thanks for sharing what seemed a deeply personal experience.
Big thanks Isobel 🙏🏻
Hi Dave, I can't think of any better words than "absolutely stunning". You are without doubt the 21st century equivalent to Wainwright...only better! This was truly exceptional. Thank you for treating us to this quality footage for everyone who loves the Lakes. Incidentally a few years back my brother and I were crossing Great Moss - when all of a sudden we were spotted by a herd of cattle who stampeded us in a "pincer" movement. We literally had to run for our lives. It was only the farmer some distance off...on his quad bike, who called the herd away and saved the day for us. Truly terrifying!! This area is as you say jaw dropping👍
I couldn't agree more Ray.. I've watched a few on you tube who try to be like the Solo.. Dave's a different gravy for sure, I'm surprised a TV guy asnt picked him up yet! Hes that good IMO.. 👍
@@kennybrydges9084 I agree with both of you..👍👍 I've watched The Solo from the start and he is top notch 😊👍👍
Really appreciate your kind words Ray. Glad you enjoyed it. ATB 🙏🏻
Absolutely Dronetastic!😃
😎🏔️🙏🏻
👋🏻,top class again Dave, thanks for sharing 👌
Brilliant Dave..You really are the best 👍👍🙂
🙏🏻
A real gem this one made my evening cheers 🍷
Cheers Dave 😎👍
Magnificent. Please keep doing what you're doing.
🙏🏻
The coffee's on me. Thanks for the videos. I know it must take that bit of extra effort but it's really appreciated. Yourself and Paul Messner have encouraged me to get out there for myself, after years of wanting to go wild camping. So I'm busy leaving no trace now and maybe I'll see you out there.
Really appreciate that Paul. Big thanks and good luck with trips 😎👍
Wow. Truly stunning Dave.
Great film yet again! I've cycled over Hardnott a few times over the years and the 30% incline sign at the start of the video always made me rethink my life decisions.
Cheers Rich. That must be a killer 🥵
Absolutely stunning views and the drone footage above the clouds totally breathtaking. Thank you for sharing your walks/camps. 😀😀
Couldn't agree more
Thank you Janet 🙏🏻
Wonderful..that is one of my favourite of your adventures...the cloud inversion !!!!

WOW!! What a view that was. Its the first time I've watched one of your videos and it wont be the last. Awesome drone footage and I can't get over that view from your tent, gotta be one of the best pitches ever. Great video, thank you.
Big thanks Jo. Really appreciate that 🙏🏻. ATB
Great vid Dave so relaxing and fantastic views.
Always love watching your videos Dave but think this one has to be my favourite 😍 it's just stunning. Those views gave me goosebumps, especially the drone footage. Loved it 🥰
I know what you mean Val. When I was stood by the river looking up at the Scafells it just so humbling. A wave of emotion came over me but I had to just shake it off and carry on. It’s a special place 🙏🏻. Glad you enjoyed it too 😊
Stunning video, just loved it.🥰🥰🥰
What can I say Dave everyone has said it,👍 the word is stunning one of my favourite places in the lake's, your drone footage was out of this world.
Big thanks Bert 🙏🏻
Wow what amazing views 😊Great video, enjoyed every minute 😊
Dave,you’ve done some great walks and camps,but this could be your best so far mate.Well done and keep it going.🏴👍
Big thanks Phillip 🙏🏻
Loved the scenery, we’ve hiked all those you mentioned, filmed most for our channel. There’s no place like it. My wild camping adventures start this spring, now my daughters are teenagers I need some alone time with the fells and mountains. ❤
Nice one 😎🏔️👍
Love that area , another great vid Dave , and that drone footage! Wow.
🙏🏻
Cracking video. Thanks.
Bloody hell mate, your channel just gets better and better, that drone footage is truly awesome, can't wait for the next video, thanks for sharing that
Big thanks Les 🙏🏻
Spectacular. Eskdale is next on my agenda. Thanks for the inspiration once again!
Absolutely Martin. Love it there 🙏🏻
Hi Dave. Well, you have been and gone and done it haven’t you?? Surpassed yourself. That was an absolute joy to behold and the drama of the drone flight was totally unexpected. It looked like a typical drab day in the hills. To find there was an inversion that was above you was a surprise! I watch your blogs on my big tv, and I felt like I was there with you. Awesome spot. Phew. Need to have a lie down… (it is 1am after all😂)
😆👍. Much appreciated Ian 🙏🏻
brilliant filming
Drone footage unbelievable mate.... top of the world.... awesome....

Brilliant Dave as usual.
Big thanks UP 🙏🏻. ATB

Much appreciated 🙏🏻
The drone footage on this video is amazing. I’ve wild camped further down the valley at Scar Lathing and I’m looking forward to doing this one sometime soon. Nice work Dave!
Cheers Phil. Camped on Scar Lathing myself. Nearly got eaten to death by flying ants 🐜 😬😁
Oh Dave! ....... Gosh what a stroke of luck. I bet you smiled when you saw the drone come out into the sun. I'm well jelous of another camp. Should have done 2 by now this year..... Maybe soon. Great film mate. Keep safe.
ATB bud 😎👍
Incredible drone footage. Great video
🙏🏻
Great vlog! Stunning footage
A nice little Saunter 👌
😆👍. Absolutely
@@TheSoloSummiteer when the drone punched through the clouds it was the best drone footage I have ever seen , unreal mate and I thought to myself , I need a drone 😀
Awesome 👌
Really enjoyed that one mate fp 👌👌
Wow Dave... I know I think I say this on every one of your videos lol but what a camp man!! They just seem to get better 😍😍 Love the name The Throne of The Gods and that pitch was definitely worth the hunt, absolutely awesome. Drome footage in the morning was ridiculous 😱😱 absolutely epic mate what a morning!
Thanks so much for sharing.
ATB pal... Chris 🙏🏼👍🏻
Cheers bud. ATB 👍
Heck it was quiet there 😃
Okay just seen this for the second time as the views and then the drone footage was absolutely incredible. What a masterpiece you've made, well done and thanks Dave! ATB Steve
Big thanks Steve 😎👍
First class , especially the drone climbing above the clouds and the views when it cleared. Great work Dave 👍👍👏👏👏
Much appreciated Dave. Glad you enjoyed it 👍
Majestic..absolute banger pal 👌 🔥
🙏🏻
Didn’t enjoy it absolutely loved it. I was going to say when the amazing drone footage showed how stunning it was above the clouds would you have rather camped on the tops. But seeing the mountains reveal themselves must have been awesome. Question answered I think. Thanks for sharing 👍👍
Absolutely, man 🙏🏻
Awesome dave, love the drone footage, the gods were truly looking after you on your camp pal, so glad for you on how it turned out with the views, packing up is the worse part of camp 😂😂, thanks for sharing pal
🙏🏻
Great video!! Thank you for sharing!! x
Big thanks Kelsey 😎👍
I am one of your new subscribers mate and I absolutely love your channel. The quality of footage and shots you get are first class. All the best and looking forward to the future videos
Really appreciate that. ATB 🙏🏻
Intro music, top notch mate.
🙏🏻
The drone footage and the clearing clouds were definitely the "icing on the cake".
You are one lucky man.
Dave congratulations on this vlog,
Upper Eskdale is my favourite place in the Lakes, one for the connoisseur, and far from the madding crowds.
I never cease to be amazed at this huge wilderness at the heart of the Lakes, and this side of the Scafell range is so much more impressive than the Wasdale side, with Esk Buttress, Mickledore, Broad Stand all looking superb.
Absolutely Andrew 🙏🏻
Wow....a boring Monday night saved by your breath taking video...Amazing drone footage, especially above the clouds..great music and also excellent time lapse..As a photographer I was in total awe of the location...thank you so much, very best wishes
Really appreciate that Andy. Big thanks 🙏🏻
Absolutely amazing this pal the drone shots from above the clouds 😍. Nice area that I still haven’t truly explored as of yet. Thanks for sharing matey and great to see you out. Oh and is it true you’re still hiding opening valentines cards you received 😜. Thanks again mate hope all is well. ATB Steve
😆. Cheers bud glad you enjoyed it 👍
