  • It has been a while since I hiked any kind of distance and I feel like I haven't been wild camping for years, so I packed my camera and my hiking back and took on the challenge of The Cumbria Way. In 4 days I hiked 77 miles, wild camped in some beautiful locations and enjoyed a little bit of landscape photography. I hope you enjoy this micro adventure.

    In this video I was praising the DJI Osmo Action. I take it all back as mine had a catastrophic failure mid trip. I was forced to buy a GoPro 7, which was my second choice, but so far I love it. It should be more reliable than the Osmo.

    • @shrimpfarmer
      @shrimpfarmer Před 5 lety +1

      Thomas Heaton good choice. I have the 7 and a couple of friends are using the Osmo action. They have problems also.

      No problems with mine. Been using it since the release!

      I also had the same, Day 2 of my 30 day holiday abroad! Total brick to carry for the rest of the travels. I bought a Go Pro 7 the day after the failure.

  • @henryfitzthum7563
    @henryfitzthum7563 Před 5 lety +107

    Was one of the main reasons why I subscribed to your channel Tom, Missed all the camping adventure photography series and then you kinda teamed up with Brandon trying to commercialize, I watched afew of those then lost interest could not view anymore haven't watched anything from you for maybe 8 months then I seen this title Wild Camping & Photography mate you got my attention again

      @henryfitzthum7563 Před 5 lety +2

      I followed both Thomas and Brandon and afew others before these 2 merged with their bright idea of offering photography workshops together, I then started to see these 2 change as greed start to take over they were only out there to line their own pockets, when they stated well people we can only post a vlog once a week every Thursday I believe that's when I stopped watching but still subscribed.

    I am so grateful that you are showing the work and challenges behind going out and shooting in nature! People seem to forget that we do have to get to these places, and sometimes that means hours and hours of trecking just to have the weather fall through and have to head home empty-handed. It's nice to have someone showing the less fun glamorous side of things!

  • @ToastandJam52
    @ToastandJam52 Před 5 lety +1

    I did this hike back in the late 1990s. The first day from Ulverston to Conniston was a horrendous. The day started with light rain and just got worse as the day progressed. I was so exhausted by the time I got to Conniston that only had enough energy to pitch my tent. I was thinking that if the weather stayed like this then I would have to give up. Anyway, I passed out in the door of my tent not having eaten and still fully dressed. I woke the next morning to birds cheerfully singing and the sun bursting bright. It stayed like this for he rest of the hike. Temps were in the high 20s/low 30s for the rest of the trip. I totally agree that the final day into Carlyle was extremely disappointing. But one there, it is a nice town where I spent serval days recovering. Thanks for bringing back the memories!!!!

    Honestly, I don't understand why I'm hooked to this video. No sharp images, no fancy transitions, the "only" photography is far from "absolutely stunning" (where the peak touches the sky on the left side of the image feels a little nervous), just a man hiking on a trail. Love it.
