... 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.

[@cairnscrow8713]

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

[@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!

[@shanemoran8260]

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

[@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 ❤❤️ ❤❤

[@annemariewharton2797]

Thank you for taking us wild camping. Absolutely brilliant 🤩

[@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 🤝

[@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!

[@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.

[@AaronDavies004]

Great video as always! May I ask what settings you have your GoPro at for your vlogging?

[@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

[@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!

[@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 😖

[@neilbuswell6205]

Only just watched this one and your making me want to drive up from the midlands and solo camp. Who the hell is walking around up there at 2 in the morning that would weird me out.

[@karenstewart9833]

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

[@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! 🙂

[@Alexandros.Apeirwtan]

Why the sheeps over there aren’t guarded by dogs ? Maybe because no enemies? I love your videos !!

[@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!

[@riccosuabe]

Brilliant video as always. what sleeping mat is that if you don't mind me asking?

[@PoloABD]

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

[@amylee3531]

You dont need a third arm bud, just get a strap for your camera/lense ;)

[@davidmarshall5596]

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

[@robertbush6652]

How many beers did you carry up or are just slow drinker😂

[@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]

😂

[@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

[@RS.Outdoors]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@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.... !!!

[@GlennJ1881]

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

[@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!

[@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 👌

[@GlennGowen]

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

[@MattGregoryGuitar]

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

[@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

[@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. 👍

[@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 👌👍👍👍👍

[@MyIntrovertedNature]

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 ;-)

[@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!

[@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 !!

[@nickjh1968]

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

[@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.

[@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 👍

[@jonm4989]

Lovely vid as always Glenn, but it does worry me seeing you carrying all that gear up there for one night.

[@BlackCrag]

Thank you 😊 Nah, it's all good 👍

[@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 😅

[@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! 😊

[@Garncec]

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

[@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 😍

[@christinejones2205]

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

[@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.

[@willbo2000]

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

[@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. ❤❤

[@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.😊👍

[@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.

[@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.

[@freddiecampbell]

PLEASE let me know how much your overnight camping backpack weighs? My kit weighs about 30 K. I can't imagine walking upstairs with that on my back.

[@mccoysmedia]

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

[@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 👍

[@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.

[@bpslodge]

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

[@MrQuintonia]

What a stunning camp site! Absolutely gorgeous ... Thank you for taking us along with you...

[@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.

[@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.

[@ReturnToTheMountains]

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

[@TrailBlazerUK]

Just disconnected from Chaos for 6 nights in snowdonia and I’m just about to drop my very first mountain vlog video 😁

[@David-zt4hq]

Good job, loved the vlog. Those Brewdog IPA's cost about 3GBP out here in Hong Kong where I live, so quite jealous of that. Just get a few weeks each year in N. Yorks and a few days in the Dales and occasional visits to the Lakes. So thanks for sharing so many wonderful experiences in that part of the country.

[@SusanCrone22]

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

[@durnin84]

26:14 You were very quick to clarify that point... Guilty conscience?🤣

[@markp7745]

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

[@ethicalbunny]

Looks wonderful! Encouraging me to get back out there and try some more wild camps as I haven’t had the best experiences 😅 views look 👌🏻

[@BlackCrag]

Thank you 😊 you definitely should!

[@sanaallbikers7209]

Enjoy watching here from Philippines Count me bro

[@mickgrundy4615]

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

[@andysimmo4984]

Hi Glenn me being a NOTTINGHAM FOReST FAN⭐️🌳⭐️ its good to hear that your not a derby clownty fan (sheep shagger😂). Keep up the waffle 🧇😉

[@jdredshift]

I was in that area today. Went up The Band and did climbers traverse onto bowfell and esk pike. Absolutely love your videos man, best Lakeland vids I’ve found and so informative before heading out onto the fells. Keep up the good work, will hopefully cross paths with you on the fells one day. Thanks for the superb content.

[@SpyderLEE]

I love the lakes. Wish they were closer so I could go more. Ps change your antiflicker setting in the camera to 50hz to match the frequency of electricity. It’ll stop the flashing lights when you are in shops and stuff 😁👍

[@BlackCrag]

I've tried but the GoPro performs terribly at 25 or 50fps. Really laggy. Maybe I've got a dud 😂

[@SpyderLEE]

@@BlackCrag lol. I’m literally just looking online now at the dji osmo 4. Thinking of swapping out my GoPro just so I can plug straight in the dji mic

[@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.

[@stevehubbard8459]

Loved that. I'm going to put a change request into KZbin to enable 2x thumbs-up! And henceforth, 5-barred gates are to be known as fat-boy gates 😂 Thank you.

[@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. 👍👋

[@rescyn1190]

What with the clear skies being useless for your normal photos... curious what your experience / appetite would be for astrophotography when camping?

[@carolinemason4210]

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

[@lilbird4198]

Thank You for another wonderful adventure, BC. 😊💚

[@gordonjones3572]

Spectacularly beautiful. Thank you.

[@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

[@shaunpardoe5359]

Another great video… so sheep sh+++er ahh it did slip of the tongue a bit to easy , hopefully you don’t own a pair of sheep Sh+++er wellies…😁😁 🐑 and when is the hand bag line coming out..keep it up and thank you..😊👍

[@superbadiii4856]

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

[@TheVeganBelly]

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

[@Kevh1963]

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

[@halsinden]

just here for anyone else concerned about what any of the 4 main chaos gods might think of this and the destruction it will inevitably wreak upon the imperium...

[@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 😊

[@danielcargill8019]

Nice little swimming hole off that waterfall, awesome

[@mattysb38]

Where is the best place to park vehicle when wild camping up scarfell.never been to lakes before.planning on first wild camp

[@grahamtowler1761]

Looks fantastic and great to get away from people and noise

[@timbirkin1971]

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

[@flyingvisit2]

The herdies have been hefted, does that mean you have been hefted too and let loose on the fells? 😉 A sense of peace and wonderment out there, don't know which way to look first, so beautiful. Thanks Glenn for the great wild camp.

[@billkendall2881]

Did you find who doing the shouting late on, maybe it was Mountain Rescue doing training? Voices carry a long way up the fells.

[@davidmarkall6626]

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