A Cold and WINDY Wild Camp on Seathwaite Fell

Seathwaite Fell Wild Camp in the Hilleberg Soulo. I was joined on this trip by Scott (aka The Lone Explorer) and we headed up to Seathwaite Fell. Our return route was via the spectacular waterfall Taylorgill Force.

Thanks Dave, really enjoy watching these, really reminds me of being in the mountains

[@colinboxall2692]

Enjoyed. Thankyou. Best Part by far was watching your expression as you took in the view of the borrowdale Glaramara Valley on the walk out, priceless. Ps raining in North of Portsmouth and watching your camp expos. Helping my mood whilst working from home. Take care.

Thanks again Colin 👍. Take care - Dave

[@ianreynolds2106]

Thank you Dave, top stuff 👏

[@JackKlumpass]

This was a great video for me, so thanks. I’ve still not done an overnight up there, as I’m still finding my feet (literally), but I tell you what, your videos and others are really supporting me having a go and I’m working up to it. I’m finding even 8kg on terrain like that really challenging balance-wise but I’m getting there gradually. Thanks again, great quality vid.

[@NNICKKK]

Keep at it man! I returned to the hills last year and did my first 7 wild camps in 2021. Leaned a ton. I agree on the inspiration, there's some great KZbinrs out there who share the right attitude. Dave is a great example of this. I think that's why his vids resonate. It's infectious! Get up there and enjoy the first camp this year, be safe man.

[@unclepeteswildadventures]

If you haven’t got trekking poles mate, get a a decent pair They help enormously with balance and give you more power and rhythm because you use your upper body strength too.

[@HobbiesAndSunshine]

Great video Dave, those surroundings would make me feel I'd like to stay there.

[@CockneyKez]

What a stunning location that was. The tarn looks like a mirror from above, absolutely gorgeous. Loving the drone footage, and that route back was breathtaking. Great Gable looked so beautiful glowing orange in the morning sun, fantastic video, absolutely loved it 🙏👍❤

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

Really appreciate your kind words Keren. Your enthusiasm motivates and inspires me to keep going during difficult times. Big thanks 🙏🏻

[@CockneyKez]

@@TheSoloSummiteer I really hope things are starting to get better for you now and I cant think of a better way to find peace of mind and clarity than being in the great outdoors and pushing yourself out of your comfort zone. You do an amazing job with your channel and you are such an inspiration to so many of us Dave. Looking forward to many more adventures from you ❤

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

Not really Keren. It’s a bit like one step forward, two steps back. Got to keep pushing on I guess. Support from people like yourself is amazing tho 🙏🏻

[@CockneyKez]

@@TheSoloSummiteer credit where its due, you are inspiring and true to yourself and us all. Part of the reason you are my most favourite channel is because you are so honest and down to earth, Im sure apart from me, there are so many others that can relate to you. All we can do is to keep plodding on, things will work themselves out in the end, they always do. All the best Dave ❤

[@jensunray1]

Those Drone shots mate!!! Another 10/10 !!!

[@daverylance6456]

Yet another great vid Dave, at least as good as anything else out there at the moment. Your knowledge and passion for the fells is clear mate and makes the vids so good to watch. Thanks

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

[@janehunter6285]

Hi Dave, I have just come across your videos last night ,after finding myself watching more videos like this since the pandemic and being inside more in the evenings ,and have just watched this one .I was totally mesmerised for the whole video and for someone who finds it difficult to find something that holds my attention ,these days that's saying something! Its difficult to find words to describe how beautiful your video is and the scenery is just breathtaking .Some of the music is really beautiful too ,and i found myself feeling totally relaxed and just there ,which is so important in these stressful times. Thank goodness for people like you who are adventurous enough to do these hikes and take people like me ,who would love to do this ,but not be brave enough ,on your journeys with you ,so we can experience some of the beauty that we might not ever see.Anyway thank you so much for sharing and taking us with you !Stay warm and safe .Best wishes Jane

Big thanks Liz🙏🏻. Yeah an “interesting” descent 😁

[@goingwildagain]

Pike oblisco looked tricky . I'm new to the wild camp done 3 last one October. My 2 dogs couldn't get to some of the mountain areas you visit. Love the vlogs very interesting. When I stood looking out towards Scafell on a walk with the dogs the feeling was amazing for a fat lad with complications. Keep inspiring maybe view my vlogs .

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

Nice one and well done 💪👍

[@AndrewBeavers]

Cracking area up round there Dave can get a bit busy too in summer.. Its a fair old trek out to the official Seathwaite fell summit too & as wainright describes the best place to view Seathwaite valley..Great drone footage & Great End always looks a massive beast from there don't it..hope tha doing well pal take care. Andy.

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

Cheers Andy 🙏🏻

[@alexdokic5567]

Thanks for all your hard work and time taking us on the journey with you and putting the videos together! I have not been on many walks in the Lake district, mainly from Boot in Eskdale to Scarfell and Scarfell pike finishing off in the Wasdale head Inn! My problem is my brain wants to do it but my body says no! I'm no spring chicken anymore!! I have a problem with my lower back at the moment but hopefully in the spring I can walk to sprinkling tarn, it looks fantastic, love the waterfalls, it would take me twice as long to get there as I like stopping to take photos. All the best and keep going.....

[@MountainManJohnFilms]

You got gorgeous weather again. That Tarn area is stunning. You sure got ideal visibility! Love the drone shot over the Tarn to Great end. .... I'm up for a day on 15th. Then hope to pop up for a camp in the weeks after that. See if we get any snow!

[@chrispietryga8710]

Another great video. You possibly know this already...if you cut a tennis ball in half you can put one half at the bottom of the pole to stop it sinking into the ground and the other half at the top of the pole to protect the tent. It works on my Luxe mini peak which is like your pyramid tent.

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

Big thanks Chris 🙏🏻. I know about the tennis ball thing now and have done that. I’ve also changed my trekking poles. ATB Dave
