There will be a lot more of that "no overnight parking" BS going forward, the powers that shouldn't be don't want us travelling and getting outdoors, they want us shut up in our "15 minute cities". Great video Andy, keep camping and stay free 👍🏻
DON'T no what to say, never herd you talk so much!! 😮 Except it was great to watch 😅 thanks for sharing, from Steve near Chester England 🏴 where the Roman's once lived.
I left the national trust because of their no overnight stays policy. Why contribute to an organisation that takes my freedom away! Great video as always
Thanks Andy for once again a great video. Those colours at sunrise were beautiful. One reason I like watching you is you're straight to the point, does exactly what it says on the tin, totally no bs
Another belter of a video Andy. I wish I was still as young and tough as you but at my age I’m waiting for the warmer weather before I get out up there.
Quality once again sir. I remember my first time heading up onto Kirk fell and I was using the view ranger app and it wasn’t the most clear of apps showing me the routes and I ended up taking the gully route down off there. It was very sketchy especially with me been on my own.
Fantastic video as always Andy. Kept me entertained on the long diversion home from shift this evening. Thank you 😊 always look forward to seeing the Lakes these days. I remember you once said to me, you’ll end up gerrin’ addicted and want to go further afield…I’m definitely gerrin those urges now! Still so much to explore, I love that. ATB, Sarah ⛺️✨
Superb as always Andy. Did that route up towards Kirk fell not too long ago. Takes its toll on the legs. Mountains looked great with the snow camped summits. Great footage and vid. ATB, Craig
Just trying to control us. Clamp down on parking and try to stop... It's an absolute joke. Wouldn't mind paying for parking, but the prices are extortionate! Once again, another enjoyable video 🤙
nice one mate. Love that area.....oh , hang on. I love every area In the Lakes 😂. Well done, another great film....At last dome my first Wild Camp 2024. So film out Friday.
Excellent video. A great pitch with superb views. Many thanks for showing the beautiful colours of the sunrise in the morning, wow simply stunning. Best wishes.
Great views Andy. Them sneaky sods will do owt to make money, you wouldnt mind if you could park over night but they know how to catch you out.. Looking forward to your cairngorm adventure mate. Cheers.👍
I remember reading about the car park last year and having to pay even the locals weren't happy I think it forestry land and they did it.i did that Kirk fell chimney last summer I came over from gatescarth and was thinking that can't be the route up lol.a pillar camp is getting done this year I can't wait
Shame about the parking, but think Ennerdale got absolutely clobbered after covid. I had to park right up the hill as Bownesw was shut atbthe time. Got them fells left to do, looking forward to it, might leave them for last 😁 tfs, David 👍
They put that parking meter in a few months ago overnight annoying the locals as a lot of them parked there either to walk round Ennerdale Water or up the forest road.
Cracking trip that one Andy. Beautiful skies in the morning. How does the Chinook compare with Soulo regarding room Inside the inner, and vestibule size? All the best mate. Stephen 👍
Great video again mate. I also went up the ‘chimney’ route on Kirk Fell crags, I know exactly what you mean. Certainly had to check my pants at the top 😂😂 In wainwright’s guide book he talks about it being not bad at all & any average hiker will find it easy 😁 Take care Andy 👍
Interesting vid mate of a block of the Lakes I perhaps know the least. I'm really pissed off that Bowness parking has now got extortionate parking fees, with no overnight stuff. This has the potential to really mess up a plan I've had for a while. I've wanted to take in a wild-camping trip, exploring Ennerdale, seeing all the rewilding stuff, etc, but this really messes it up 😭. I might have to take a chance.......fifty dabs, risky though! I've checked and you can get a year's pass for 25 quid but that's still daft for one trip. Anyway, enough of me grumbling. Good stuff Andy. 👌
ive parked there a few times chris & never known any bother so why these clampdowns ive no idea..even if you purchase the year pass i dont think it allows you to park overnight..
Superb Andy Lad shame about Bowness Knott CP...we've used it for years so much so Traceys got herself a year ticket £25 reasonable considering it's £8.50 a day... Pillars a great Mountain from both sides a big favourite of mine... Pillar Rocks one of my only two remaining Birketts left..gone has the day I'd of just freed it up there I'll get a mate with a rope to get me up but am in nee rush...the Rock Star 🐶 will be sitting that one out. Stay safe Marra ATVB Andy and The ROCK STAR ⭐ 🙏🏻
cheers Andy ayy its a shame about the parking ive used it a few times & never known any bother so why the clampdown ive no idea..looks like ill have to come black sail way again to get the pillar camp in..drop off front face via shamrock traverse & back up..
Where is the TrailStar? I can’t comment too much as I’m using my Bonfas Middus 2P (with inner tent) in this weather. Love this time of year as so few people around compared to mid-year.
Nice one andy, great video as always pal , I actually caught my first broken spectre picture on pillar, have you ever camped on kirk fell ? Just wondering what it is like to pitch there pal, take care mate
Fair doos its a fair bit of weight to hump around and the volume is quite a consumer of pack space but its suiting me for the longer nights and i can just about get all my warmest winter gear in my 70litre Zpack . My mate has just bought a set of thicker poles to beef up his Sigma so 9.6mm instead of 8.something and i am going to get a couple of guy out points put on the hem of the sil nylon section and buy the thicker poles for mine too which will come in at 1.5kg . The same mate has the Chinook too so i will keep you informed on his thoughts although when i looked inside his chinook i preferred the space of the Sigma and i just love how the material functions but never say never in the pursuit of the perfect tent :)@@itsmescottp
Are you privy to the weather Gods by any chance Andy ? You always seem to have awesome conditions. How are you getting on with the Mythic Ultra ? What are you matching it up with when you reach camp ? I just took delivery of one today so i will be taking it out tomorrow and i am looking forward to wearing it in camp with a Helly Hanson base layer and the senchi 120 as a mid layer which should be nice and cosy down to the current sub zero temps we are having at the moment. Are you going to share your thoughts on the Chinook ???
loving the mythic ultra Olan & i pair it with a merino base layer,the senchi 120 0r 90 & then ive the bottoms too i wear under the down pants. i may do a video on the chinook at some point keep yr eye out..
Can't help thinking that we having our liberties taken away from us inch by inch...can't park here, can't go there, don't do this or that. Absolutely disgusting.
Reckon most all of the local and county councillors are campsite owners and they're turning the screw on car parking for nefarious reasons... im no conspiracy theorist. However,i do know this to be the case in many cases. Recommend folk look into it and get things moving. 🙄.
@gazbesford712 they do sellout pretty quick it's popular gear..you can set up to get the notification when they have a drop or follow on social media..

i wouldnt mind paying a tenner or what ever..its 7 quid for 24 hour at edale..but to rule out overnight parking with fines is just ridiculas.

...but another smashing video cheers Andy
Great spot. I came down from Kirk Fell the way that you went up. That was interesting too. Some if the best ever 'scree - surfing'.
Excellent video. A great pitch with superb views. Many thanks for showing the beautiful colours of the sunrise in the morning, wow simply stunning. Best wishes.

not camped kirk fell yet its one to do but there is plenty good ground up there for pitching.
every time i see that chinook 🤦🏻♂️🤣 some nice morning colour 👌🏻
Get back inside your Nammatj and be happy that you have got all that space :)
@@Olan... The Nammatj is no more...😬
No way , whats happened ?@@itsmescottp

Good video Andy - looked cold. What poles do you use out of interest (trekking)? Guessing they are lekis?
Leki sherpa 👍🏻
Wheer were the pictures ?. Great to whatch as usual, thankyou.
they didnt turn out great tbh its hard to determine how good they look on back of camera at night.
👋🏻
Which tent You have? Looks great.....
big sky international chinook 1p.
Can't help thinking that we having our liberties taken away from us inch by inch...can't park here, can't go there, don't do this or that. Absolutely disgusting.
You should do a camp with the solo summiteer. Absolute quality.👍
ive camped with dave quite a bit if you check out some previous videos he's in there..

Hi Andy what tent are you using and do you think it would be big enough for a 6”3 man
its the big sky international chinook im 6'1" & its comfortable for me so id imagine ud be ok.
@AndrewBeavers thanks Andy I will have a look at one.
What do ya sleep in?, base layer like or dya strip off t duds? Curious that's all,
base layer top then with senchi designs top & bottoms.
@AndrewBeavers must be good gear they all sold out, lol may save up for a hoody like, cheers Andy, keep keeping on

@AndrewBeavers I'll do that bud, nice one,
Why's the Orange down jacket got a black patch it was not there before 😂
its a different jacket..mythic ultra other one is mythic alpine.
Andy, what tent is that please?

Watch this with my 9 yr old grandson really embarrassed with the swear word at the beginning
I think he said "looking" beautiful. Can't recall Andy swearing in the past.
Definitely says “Looking”
Get real!
