[@d-jbradford1451]

... not sure how promoting wild camping on youtube and marketing Scottish ale does anything positive for the Lake District.

[@scottsam7020]

Where did you get the cap from the lakeland one - very cool

[@brewski3217]

Do you have to be black to join?

[@CouncilOfWolves]

Langdale is heaven on earth for me. It's been thirty years since I last wild camped there. This video captures the feeling of the place perfectly. I'm a bit old now but I will one day return. Thank you for making it real.

[@mauricelaidler4789]

Thank you. Just retired, I have been contemplating wild camping. I’m now convinced. I have the gear and will start in my native Northumberland. Possibly Humbleton Hill. Then, the Lakes.

[@ConkerKing]

Camped there once, and whilst rousting about found the remains of a plane crash on Bowfell.. Wasn't too long after the crash so the tail section was pretty intact.... There was also a sheep carcass in the wreckage which initially quite startled my teenage self at the time.... !!!

[@davidmarshall5596]

Excellent this ❤terrific getting away from people isn't it🤔can't put a price on peace and quiet 🎉

[@annemariewharton2797]

Thank you for taking us wild camping. Absolutely brilliant 🤩

[@gaylinlyons6534]

Sigh! I am lost for words. Such a beautiful area, lovely vistas. Your sunrise shots were amazing!!!!! As you are watching the sun rise, I am at home watching the sun set. I have been working evening shifts, today I worked a ten hour day shift and this is simply a delight to see. I am also a photographer, but no photos for me, I am simply enjoying the moment. - Thank you, from Ontario Canada

[@danielcargill8019]

Nice little swimming hole off that waterfall, awesome

[@CaroleFrenchFox]

Such a soothing voice. It often seems men from up North tend to have annoying squeaky twangs, but not Glenn, nice deep voice yet soothing with it. And the beautiful landscape to boot.... just need the cute doggo back!!! 😀 41:31

[@matej.mlakar]

16:25 yep, that is true. But not only wildcamping. Where I'm from and I do get a chance to stand in fron of massive peaks of big drops, where nature reminds you that you are nothing. It shatters your ego, removes all the problems and you get in a almost like a meditative state. You can really feel that primal connection with the nature and that you are a part of it.

[@CockneyKez]

This was just what I needed after a difficult and stressful week, a trip to my favourite mountain😊 Crinkle Crags was the first mountain I climbed and the view from where you were has to be one of the best in the whole of Lakeland. Really enjoyed this one Glenn, even your waffle was top class ❤❤️ ❤❤

[@GoSummitSolo]

Ha Love it "I don't want to go home, I could just live in a tent". Haha great! (i know, exactly) You have a good voice for videos 👍 great video! And funny. "Goodbye Table" 😅🙏🙏🙏 deffinetly relate. Well done 🙌 Lots of Sean the Sheep's in the lakes aye. Well done

[@dafr0n]

I'm not a sheep shagger BTW, had me in stitches 🤣26:15 - Another good one Glenn

[@emmacannon2011]

Oh…. the sheer calmness and mental refreshment after a long week. Exactly what I needed. What a lovely video, in every way. Thanks Glenn, as always! 🙂

[@GlennJ1881]

Right on my doorstep 2. Pun intended. Wish I had the legs to get up there marra.

[@gunterbecker8528]

That night deserves the thumb up

[@cairnscrow8713]

Great vid. So pleased to see you doing more wild camping. It's added an extra dimention to an already great channel 😀

[@lilbird4198]

Thank You for another wonderful adventure, BC. 😊💚

[@mccoysmedia]

Great video again this week 👍🏻 “I’m not a sheep shagger” cracked me up 😂

[@bpslodge]

"I'm not a sheep shagger by the way" 😂😂😂 That line actually made me laugh out loud. Great wee film Brian.

[@David-uf8ex]

Lovely video 👏👏 amazing sunrise . It’s spooky people are wandering around in the middle of the night in such remote places . I could be on the moon and a coach trip of aliens would pull up 😖

[@davidthomas9079]

Quality Glenn. What a great time of day to be at that location for a stunning sunset and sunrise and so good for the mental health. I could sit for hours on top of a mountain with no one else around...perfect.

[@gordonjones3572]

Spectacularly beautiful. Thank you.

[@PoloABD]

Bow fell looks magnificent. Just a shame I live in Kent 😢

[@sharonrojas9569]

What a fantastic camping spot--a true "room with a view."

[@Rustymouse]

II is primal. It has been lost until we discover it personally . The most wonderful thing.

[@duositex]

I can't help but feel like, as a viewer, we're the last people that will see this place in such serene silence. I can't believe there aren't people crawling all over it.

[@kevankoya]

Wow! A perfect place to go after a stressful week at work. Bliss! Great channel 😀👍

[@keithmiles9359]

Another great video fella. I'll have to wait another 6 weeks for my next dose of sanity.

[@MountainManJohnFilms]

Just missed you! We went up through the farm, and up to crinkle gill about 2 hours after you came down...... lovely film. Totally agree with you about how it feels to be out for the night in those surroundings. 👍

[@dt8ustotten285]

Love going on these hikes/camps with you. I think you make us feel like we are there enjoying it as well. I hear you on the people thing.. thanks for sharing!

[@grahamtowler1761]

Looks fantastic and great to get away from people and noise

[@davidbeck1696]

YouTubing at its absolute best. Perfect morning viewing. Thanks guys and girls

[@BlackCrag]

Thank you 😊

[@davidmarkall6626]

Love your videos its like we're there with you.👌🍺👍

[@RS.Outdoors]

Great location and always nice to get up early and watch the sunrise.

[@nickjh1968]

Another gem of a video Glenn. Thankyou sir for your wonderful content.

[@Kevh1963]

One of your best videos you’ve done. Fabulous!

[@TheRowlandstone73]

After discovering your channel earlier this week, I've been watching one of your videos every day. This was the 2nd one I watched, but felt compelled to watch it again as this one really resonates with me. The light nights - which unfortunately, are already slowly on their way out - the beautiful weather - which we haven't exactly had a lot of these last couple of weeks - the peacefulness and those incredible views. Even that particular area where you camped seems weirdly familiar to me in some strange way. I'm not even a camper, but I love this content and will continue to watch. Cheers!

[@BurritoRoll]

Great video, if I have any financial capacity I would love to support your magnificent work. You seem like a guy who prefers small crowds and just going for adventures that provides an escape from the harsh reality. I wish I can afford such option but for now, by watching you beautiful lad, I get to experience what its like and it almost made me tear up. I want to explore the gift of nature, hopefully soon I can do it.

[@timbirkin1971]

Great video Glenn … I love the waffle … don’t ever give it up 😊

[@ReturnToTheMountains]

I camped at that spot about 20 years ago. Amazing place and views if the clag aint down

[@paulbrown7735]

Great video Glenn. Just done my first wild camp up at the top of Hellvelyn. Weather was great. Woken up by a drone at 4am though! Thanks for your all your inspiration!

[@stephenthompson1998]

Brilliant views well done.

[@timrutterford8660]

Great video, it's an amazing place. It's not very often in life that one can listen to that silence, it just grabs you inside. So looking forward to the next one.

[@Garncec]

What a video!! Im inspired every time I watch yr videos pal , but this one was true CLASS! Totally agree with chats! Thanks

[@user-ml5st5cj9o]

Another great video Glenn. Very much appreciated during these difficult times. You are an inspiration.

[@soniayoung7531]

Greetings Glenn great hike amazing scenery the hills, the sheep awesome, your videos are always so informative, the moon was beautiful, fantastic sunrise thanks for sharing stay safe

[@gemmalewis6531]

Love your videos and love your chat. Really makes it seem like we're up there with you and you're chatting to your friends.

[@SevenGC89]

Looked like an awesome journey man! A+ for no water spillage this time 😂. Such gorgeous countryside over there across the pond, would love to travel out that way one day, keep up the amazing work my friend.

[@BlackCrag]

😂

[@AndreFavron]

What a delightful place - the absolute quite and the wildlife (that are not predators) just a few meters away would be a brilliant memory. However, I have just learned something about myself by watching this video: I, personally, like water when camping! I always knew that I loved it and that it fuels my soul, but it wasn't until I saw this snowless and barren landscape that, as beautiful as it is, I realized that it is not for me. :-O

[@DavidMichaelBurnett]

This is one absolutely perfect video. Thoroughly enjoyed it and I liked the way you focussed on just how good the soltude was. Seems like this one hit the spot! I bumped into you earlier in the year when you were heading up Stickle Ghyll for the (very) wild camp you had and I had the Repace's on so we had a chat about those I remember 😃👍 Always enjoy your videos man. I've been contemplating for a few years investing in some proper gear and doing this but soley doing the dayhikes at the moment! Hopefully I'll be out doing this soon. Cheers mate 🤝

[@paulrobinson8263]

Awesome mate, jealous yes and wish i was a tad younger again. Perfect weather for it any sign of cold and my Raynaud’s kicks in and that is totally painful believe me 👌👍👍👍👍

[@pauladeviveiros1448]

Yes my friend, getting back to the simplicity of life,…out in nature, away from people and the hectic rush of life! Looks amazing 😍

[@willbo2000]

Cracking stuff mate, more or less in the place I was last time up there, could I do with that now 👍👍👍

[@rumbalala]

Absolutely stunning camp, hike and attitude Glenn. Have only just discovered your channel, and it’s rapidly becoming one of my very favourites. Just brilliant videos mate: really helping to give me a kick in the arse and drag my knackered knees up and about. 👍👋

[@mathewriley1776]

Awesome vlog again ⛰️🍺📷

[@jamieb741]

Living in North Essex , I love the outdoors and the lake district even more. I get there as much as I can , thank you for your videos - I'd love to do a mountain camp. But as you say , start easy first.. baby steps. Thank you again 👍😊 glorious evening there with stunning views. It's not flat , it's just spectacular 👌

[@therossendalerambler-mikei7294]

There’s only one 4.30 and it isn’t the one in the morning 😂. Another informative vlog love the Langdales

[@pejotel9557]

❤ I truly need that experience. All the problems, and dramas overwhelmed me recently. I got a van, I've got a gear (except handy tent), I've got a 5 days off every two weeks,I've got a passion for wild camping, I can even see a Breckon Beacon from my house window, but I can't motivate myself to do something great with my time.

[@MountainManJohnFilms]

Do it 👍

[@DAoutdoors]

Hi Glenn. Beautiful video again mate. I was only on the band, Bow Fell and Esk Pike, the other week. Thank you so much for sharing as always. Cheers Dave. 😀⛰🥾

[@RootsLion]

wish i could carry a tenth of that in this weather

[@markp7745]

Great vlog as usual. So relaxing to watch I nearly dozed off😂

[@nataliekeane8944]

Honestly that view at the start of your hike and then coming back down into the valley was mind blowingly beautiful! Thanks for taking us! 😊

[@shanemoran8260]

Hey black crag just sub to your channel love the videos you do excellent videos love from Dublin🇮🇪

[@christinejones2205]

Love this! Recently back from staying at Harry Place farm in the valley, some fantastic walks and views.

[@dixonpeter]

Cracking video as always, love that spot, was recently up bow fell, may have even been the same weekend as I saw a few of those markers!

[@mickgrundy4615]

Wow brillant video hats off to you glen. Loved it best one iv seen thanks so much for sharing again.

[@karenstewart9833]

Awesome video really enjoyed this one was looking at google maps as you pointed out all the different crags and features😁

[@lindab6421]

What a fantastic video, filming and audio marvelous. Just loved it so much, thank u xxx

[@andyairshots]

Seen a few of your vids. Love this too. Start to finish. There's something about never doing this sort of thing (closest I get it a farmers field once a year at RIAT) yet experiencing it first hand. Thank you 👍

[@davidmckechnie1]

Great video and same tent as me! Awesome 👌

[@ILoveMontana0708]

Absolutely love the videos you share and enjoy the adventure. Please keep sharing as much and as often as you are able. I live in MT in 🇺🇸. Thank you for bringing this side of the world to me. ❤❤

[@skatemetrix]

Crinkle Crags is the lumpiest mountain I have ever been on. But those views of Langdale and the Scafell Range are amazing- while seeing the southern side of Bow Fell reveals a craggy-like rib section (full of grooves in rock face) which I have seen nowhere else in the Lake District.

[@pennymichaels7449]

So excited to see this video in my sub box! 😄 Can I ask if you started camping/hiking solely for the purpose of your photography, or how you got into it? Was it always a part of your life? Would love to hear about how it became important to you. or even if you talked about it in a video. Much love!

[@Everlastinglife2024]

👍 for the title alone

[@MyCovertNarcissism]

I really enjoyed that, one of the best camping videos I've seen in a long time. Absolutely beautiful spot you were in. Keep up the awesone videos.

[@nigglemoth]

Loved the video. As you were walking there, I was wondering how do you even start to have the experience needed to wild camp in such a location - then you went on and explained how to go about doing it. I too worry about spiders getting in the tent, I would be ultra careful when it comes to opening that zip to stop them getting in I think :). Looks a lovely rejuvenating place, thank you for sharing your chilling time with us.

[@superbadiii4856]

“You might think I’m a sheep shagger cos I’m always going on about sheep, but I’m not” 😂

[@Fishy1764]

As usual mate absolutely loved it. Think im going to have to take a look at this one my self.All the best🤪👍

[@Fishy1764]

By the way I totally agree with you as far as "camping for our sanity ". And you take some crackin photos.😊👍

[@andrewdavis9223]

Great video as usual 👌 😊

[@MattGregoryGuitar]

Just stunning. I love your videos. Can't wait to get out camping again. All the best

[@marpop99]

Another great VLOG. 😁

[@carolinemason4210]

Thank you so much for sharing this! Skmply awe inspiring!

[@iwasapirateonce1639]

Beautiful cathartic video, literally my favourite viewpoint in the Lake district. What lovely peaceful weather the UK has had for what feels like ages, the Midges are defo taking advantage of the lack of wind however!

[@thomasburkl]

This is exactly the kind of video I love watching, thanks for sharing your experience! I just discovered your work through listening to Mali's podcast. Your videos are very inspiring, this is exactly what I am aspiring to do. By the way, I am a bit of a metal head myself ;-)

[@mjb328]

Amazing video as always Glenn, thanks so much. Your narration makes me feel like I’m there. Hope to do a wild camp at some point, just not sure I have the confidence. I know it would be great, just gotta do it 😅

[@dawnboone2]

So enjoyable. Thank you. ❤

[@dimitrisnikolaou1387]

Keep spreading your infectious positivity, Glenn. The Lake District and its hikers are blessed to have you as an integral part of their journey.

[@BlackCrag]

Thank you 😊 🙏

[@EnigmaStar153]

Peace pure peace 💙

[@RyanJones-ig3qc]

That sheep comment caught me off guard 😂😂😂

[@AdventureRuss]

Great video as always, agree 100% when you said you crave for more of the wild now you’ve unleashed it. I’ve found this too, so rewarding and the fulfilment you get from it is like no other. Enjoy your next adventure and thanks for another top video 👍🏻

[@BlackCrag]

Thank you 😊

[@markpursglovephotography]

Cracking video Glenn. Love Great Langdale. 😍

[@hazelduerdoth4333]

Wow I just wish I could to hiking there , the peace and quiet ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@susancrone5670]

Another fabulous video! Thank you for taking us on your journey ❤️. I sincerely hope you find a companion that appreciates you and will be your cohort in life, traveling, cooking, camping. And, of course, must love Finn! ❤ Sorry reread my comment and I sound like some meddling maiden aunt! Not my intention at all

[@zarniwoopb6078]

Stunning and inspiring. Thank you

[@Merritt7278]

Brilliant video, did make me laugh when you said im not a sheep shagger 😂 Hearing voices in the middle of the night would of been a bit freaky, great views though, the simple free things in life are the best, what a way to get away from people and all the bad in the world. All the best !!

[@cumbriabornbred3690]

That's a lot of kit for this weather. Well done man. Impressive 🤣

[@BlackCrag]

Needs my camera 😁

[@tarkus123dave]

You make some crackin vidz pal. Just chillz me out. Well done agen 👍

[@jentill1034]

Absolutely agree with you, got to get away from people, and I am planning a LONG hike this weekend. Your channel is an inspiration.

[@TheVeganBelly]

I would love to join you on your camping excursion, a night under the stars sounds amazing in this heat ❤
