My First SOLO WILDCAMP & Explore Of The Howgill Fells..Terra Nova Starlite 1.

[@deekelley891]

I just want to say how much I appreciate the fact that you work a night and instead of going home for a good sleep, you’re climbing and hiking for miles. And for my enjoyment half a world away, you add the additional hassle of carrying camera gear, drone and batteries. I just want you to know I very much appreciate it. Thank you so much.

[@AndrewBeavers]

thank you 🙏

Most underrated channel in this corner of KZbin, amazing as always👍

Yes I agree, I think Andy’s videos are brilliant, his narrating, his filming he just captures everything.

Hi Andrew it good to see you back on fells and camping

[@Steve72Outdoors]

Great video Andy 👍 love the Howgills . Your face when them jets came over .... priceless 🤣 we both jumped too when watching video . Brilliant mate 🏔🏕 ✈ 👍

[@tonyoutdoors9369]

loved it done most around the howgills during lockdown lived in brough and sedbergh beautiful in summer andrew

[@danmegoutdoors8709]

Great video Andy as always, fab scenery, the look on your face when the jets went over made us chuckle 👍👍👍

[@petelumley1578]

Howgil fells are brilliant, and with not as many people as other places. Another great vid Andy.

[@paulharrison5421]

Great video, well presented thoroughly enjoyed .

[@ackosadventures2486]

Great video Andy a stunning area that few people seem to visit move them the other side of the M6 and you wouldn’t be able to move for people.👍👍

[@MattLakeland]

When I was a teenager I used to camp at Black Force/Cautley Spout area and then walk over the tops to Sedbergh. It was a cracking route.

[@joncadman4935]

Thanks for sharing another beauty Andy, what an area to explore, all the very best

[@lizkent2624]

Spectacular and amazingly steep! A really interesting video, thank you! Glad the tent stood up well to the winds.

[@andypotts8062]

Many thanks Andrew for another excellent video...Your reaction when the jets flew over is priceless....The same happened us when driving down Glencoe...my wife nearly passed out she thought the bottom had fallen out of car...Beautiful scenery shown brilliantly by the drone footage....many thanks and best wishes

[@DaveGoodman1959]

Really enjoyed that one Andy and those hills looked very beautiful in those conditions. Cheers 👍🍻 In fact for me was one of your best vids. The views were stunning.

[@SteveSingerFowkes]

Wow! Bloody fantastic Andy!

[@8ionicman63]

At 7 min, priceless, surprised you didn't hear them coming! Great video, keep them coming!

[@johnburton8457]

Another cracking Video Andy, superb footage , loving the drone shots.

[@peakfreak01]

Sshhhh!!! Don't tell everyone about my Howgills playground 😊 I defy anyone not to fall in love with them. When you do Fell Head, head up Carlin Gill and past Black Force up on to Docker Knott over to Wind Scarth and then Fell Head. You won't be disappointed, my friend. 👌👍😊

[@AndrewBeavers]

haha i wont lol..ive certainly fell for them pal what a place..ill take a look at that route as ill be doing that at some point thanks..

[@TheKeefusoutdoors]

Camped in that sheepfold meself before. It's an art installation by Andy Goldsworthy. Great video as always mate. 👍

[@TheKeefusoutdoors]

Why do people feel the need for little fires in the hills? Take a bloody stove!!

[@dynamo127]

Great moment when the planes came over - your face had a slight look of Frank Spencer after some havoc unfolding😁. Another great vid buddy - keep it up!

[@stuperambulist5154]

Another cracking video mate, keep em coming, I love seeing the seasons change.

[@robbell5525]

That's the Howgills added to the list 👍 Belting video & trip Andy, the mornings drone shots were superb.

[@chrisstone3104]

So glad we came across your Howgills adventure. A place both my wife and I know well… camped there, run all over it, proposed bottom of Cautley Spout, argued on Wild Boar fell. Always stayed at St Marks Cautley way back in the mid / late 90’s. 👍😎

[@EventyrsorenDenmark]

Very nice video and a great video. Enjoyed watching it very much. Thanks. Have a wonderful weekend.

[@xix94]

Nothing better than doing a night shift and then been out in the great outdoors great video brother

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

Nice one Andy. Reminded me of my mountain biking days up there back in the early 2000’s. Lovely and quiet but certainly not to be underestimated in terms of ascent. It’s very up and down. I also believe the Howgills themselves are known as “sleeping elephants” due to how they look with their steep but rolling terrain resembling elephants laying down on their side. ATB pal 🙏🏻

[@AndrewBeavers]

theyre certainly steep buggers mate & you know when youve climbed one..great area for mountain biking i bet with good grassy stretches..i can see how theyd get that names now looking at them..cheers for watching pal.

[@pauljones5066]

Howgills are great. Very chilled vibe, no hussle and bustle. Thanks Andy.

[@Tom-eq6vo]

That fly past was cracking 😂 some stunning views there 👍

[@tonyhare8961]

It's like the Howgill's are hiding in plain sight , proper solitude. One of the great upland areas and often ignored for the Lakes and Dales - great stuff Andy.

[@otf.outdoors]

Cracking little spot to camp mate👌, loved them views in the morning from the drone, definitely looks a great area to explore, atb Mick 👍

[@grahamscothern4319]

Nice one Andy !

[@Topboy12345]

5☆ I'm not into mountaineering or hill climbing. BUT your videos are so inspiring and captivating with the photography, insight and of course yourself. Amazing !!!! 👏 👏👍

[@Mikebwilson2316]

Absolutely love the Howgill fells. My go to place. A small parking area at the top end of the valley you were in. Wild camped on many occasions up there. The place is never busy, you are lucky if you see others on your walk. Great video Andy. ATB

[@theheightoflife]

Made sure I made time to watch this tonight! Thanks for the info on the parking and route 👍🏻 Looks like it worked out good as your original plan never worked. Wow mate stunning and Cautley Spout looks amazing 😍 Loved that reaction with the jets mate haha brilliant... I miss working with military craft in my previous job, they can come pretty quick and if they're giving it a bit the sound won't be far behind them. Thing is when you're in the solitude you was casually making your video I bet they did indeed make you jump out your skin 😅 nice one for leaving that bit in though haha superb 👏🏻👏🏻 I know this sounds weird lol but when I see military craft and I get memories then amonst mountains making new memories there is just too much excitement for me to cope with sometimes 😂😂 After speaking to you yesterday I'm definitely gonna do this route you did I think looks epic, bit of a steep one in parts like lol but awesome and all adds to the fun. Cool how you can see to the Lakes on a clear day. Are those bottle holders added to your straps mate or built into the pack? Calf summit looks cool, you picked an awesome spot though and love the shelter, Terra Nova do make some awesome kit and cool how they sent it ya👌🏻 plus you got to test it out a bit with some testing winds. Glad you checked and ticked off more of the Dale's 30 👏🏻💯 Nice frosty morning, awesome cloud clearance and epic drone footage. Bang on. Yeah mate you gotta get those enduro batteries for the cold. Even on the Gopro 11 the stupid blue batteries will have the same issues I reckon with those temps. The enduro ones for cold all day long! But I only use them now in any case I don't trust those standard blue ones, gave me too many problems and made me wana throw my gopro off the summit. I film more with just one of the enduros then I got with prob 2 blue ones and that's not even when they were playing up. Anyway I'll stop rambling now haha epic watch as always mate really did enjoy it 👍🏻 😊 ATB... Chris 🙏🏼

[@AndrewBeavers]

yeah as we were saying you deffo need to get up there mate & do some exploring i feel you'll love the place & it's so quiet..the bottle holders on the atompack are built in to the straps as standard now great pack love mine.. got two of those enduro batteries & a new sd card as that was playing up too bits of footage corrupt here & there which was pissing me off..but with the new batteries & card its been flaweless to the point even in these low temps ive been out in of late 1 battery has more or less done the full trip..tfw mate.

[@theheightoflife]

@@AndrewBeavers yeah im gonna for sure! Really looking forward to it 😃 Ahh right ok, I was actually looking at an Atompack before think they were sold out or something, I remember not being able to get one for some reason anyway. Will take another look at those then cheers mate. Ahh brilliant!! So glad you got the enduro batteries and got on OK with them. 🤜🏻💯🤛🏻 bang on 😁 T Are it easy pal... Chris 🏕🙏🏼

[@ChrisJB]

Yep Andy, the Scafells (and most of the major Lakeland fells) are clearly visible from the Howgills. Calders is probably my best Howgill fell as I like the way the land falls away south at your feet down into Hobdale Gill.....pretty dramatic. There are two more Dales 30s in the Howgills (Fell Head and Randygill Top), do you need to do those? They're good too. I use the Enduro batteries and touch wood they have been reliable. Anyroad, top-notch vid pal......I always enjoy watching stuff about my beloved Howgills. 😍. ATB, Chris

[@AndrewBeavers]

cheers chris yeah ive fell head & randygill top to do..already looked at a route for randygill top..just bought two enduros & done a full day filming on just one battery so definitely a whole lot better..i feel ill be doing a lot more in that area mate loved my first visit.

[@liamwilkinson788]

bought those poles in haste a while back turns out they're great poles. good video

[@Nbstevens78]

Love the Howgills. Bairly a blade of grass ive not trodden on bud. Awesome hills one of the best training grounds we have.

[@Hengists_Wild_Camps]

Top video Andy. I especially like that bit, early on in the vid', when those RAF jets flew overhead.

[@gazza1858]

Another outstanding video, thanks a lot much appreciated.

[@unclepeteswildadventures]

I spent my youth on the Howgills, awsome place. Brilliant video Andy. I think I’ll spend the weekend replaying those jets and the look on your face. Haven’t laughed so hard in years. 🤣🤣🤣

[@AndrewBeavers]

i werent laughing 😂 frightened me to death lol..

[@unclepeteswildadventures]

Also after the first jet always be ready for the wingman 5 secs separation 😳great vids mate. 👍

[@AndrewBeavers]

@unclepeteswildadventures ayy there's always two of em.. I was ready for the second one 🤣

[@peterbudd44]

Great video again , loved the Jets going over , such a great sound if you know they are coming , haha...Thanks .

[@stepheneverett6131]

Great video Andy ,first one I’ve seen but throughly enjoyed it Marra .looking forward to checking out more .first time I’ve seen that little stove ,looks good 👍

[@chriswhite2714]

Watch out for them low flying planes Andy 🤣🤣🤣 fantastic video as always 👍

[@AndrewBeavers]

ayy bloody things 😂

[@gainesy_walks]

Buggers them jets, can't here em til the last minute 😂 closest ive been were up at Inominate tarn, could see the rivets under em, absolutely crapped myself. Looks great up there, spoilt for choice with spots. Cheers for sharing Andy 👍

[@AndrewBeavers]

ayy frightened the life out of me lol..its a great area with suitable spots every where you look..looking forward to getting back up there.

[@Andy_Bat]

Thank you Andy for this latest epic, my other half always says that the Howgills look like comfortable armchairs.

[@brendonbriggs622]

Cracking video pal as always, if your after a new carma you wana have a good look at insta 360 mate but just use it as a forward facing 1 and the app on it amazing for Instagram clips, also tryed and tested in alps as my mates used it when snow boarding, they were both gopro guys but had same problem in cold just zaps batteries

[@lostintransit5822]

Great camp and the tent was cracking in the wind, very solid tent

[@philjones3335]

By eck lad, thee stumbled on a good en there. I'm still working my way through some of the fantastic camps you've done in Peak District, be next year before I move onto Dales. Never tire of watching your stuff, best on KZbin by far.👌🤝

[@skookumjack]

Great stuff! You had very kind of weather! At 39.mins the sun was fantastic 👌 .

[@michaelblack9813]

Like sleeping elephants as Wainwright wrote about them, when you looked out from Calders it just looks like an elephants head. Took my Grandson up past Cautley spout,I think it's the highest drop outside in England. It's a grind up there but well worth it. You'd be out of luck buying a pint in the Cross Keys as it's one of a few Temperance inns still in business. Glad you enjoyed it up there Andy. Look after thee Sen. Michael.😊👍

[@penman8985]

Great quality as usual mate. You might just have sold that tent to me. I'm after a new Summer shelter and price and weight wise this ticks a lot of boxes. Keep up the great work mate! ATB - Simon

[@Theorangeman.]

New subscriber here. Found u after the vid with paul messner. Great work

[@chipjones7185]

Thanks Andy for the detailed vid on your Howgills adventure. I have a dvd of Cameron McNeish spending time up there, and along with you're updated info on the 'sleeping elephant's ' has inspired me to visit the area sooner than had planned. Regards to you, maybe catch you up there sometime 🍻

[@WainwrightWalksWiaLocalLad]

Good to see you on the Howgills. Great hills where you can stride out all day. Away from the main drag up to the The Calf it's usually nice and quiet, a good spot for Bank Holidays. The sheepfold was designed by Andy Goldsworthy but built by a local drystone waller. Plenty of jets about recently UK Typhoons and USAF F15 Eagles... noisy buggers! I barely use the GoPro these days, Lumix G80 and Osmo Pocket, Rode Wireless Go mics.👌 It's a fair pull onto Yarlside from the col🤔😂 even more up that ridge you went up! Enjoyed the video, thanks for sharing. Cheers Alistair 👍

[@northumberlandmountainhopper]

Cracking camp in a great spot Small tent but it’s perfect for solo camps as so light, being low it sheds the wind well Cheers

[@larsjrgensen6753]

Hi. Nice video. According to Terra Nova it is a 3 season tent, which is clearly shown in your video as well :)

[@LundysWildcampBushcraft]

Great video Andrew that looks like a great area the new tent looks good I've just got the helm compact one not that I do much hill camping but plan on doing more this year atvb Jimmy 😎😎👍👍

[@thewanderingforester]

Cracking video again. Never been up the Howgills but (like many I suspect) have been planning to for years! I have a Gopro Hero 9 and not had battery issues as bad as yours - usually they give up at about 30-35% in the cold. Now have Enduro batteries which are are definitely better. The jets going over - absolute class moment. I ducked and I'm at home! Thanks for sharing.

[@AndrewBeavers]

ive just bought two enduros & done a full days filming on first outing on just one battery so definitely a whole lot better.

[@Pauladams2676]

Funny seeing those planes startle you sir 😂

[@AndrewBeavers]

did more than startle me lol..

[@Wildcamping101]

I did that same camp and route a good few years ago now. My first time out with the Akto. I remember that climb up side of the waterfall being a bit of a slog. Lovely rolling hills in the Howgils. An area I have planned to revisit. 😂😂 made me laugh when those jets flew over… Great video that Andy. 👍🏼👍🏼

[@AndrewBeavers]

cheers craig ayy its a slog up but rewards are worth it mate stunning place cant wait to get back up there..ayy bloody things shit me up lol 😂

[@paulstubbs1843]

Fantastic, it’s always intrigued me this area… shall have to give it a visit sometime.

[@Solohikeruk]

Spot on again andy, I have just purchased the enduro battery for the gopro, so hopefully that will fix the cutting out, doing my head in as well 😂, a friend of mine puts his gopro in a cloth bag with a hand warmer, he swears by it, but enduro battery for me, never been up to howgills but definitely on my list, great video pal 👍

[@AndrewBeavers]

ive just bought a couple enduro batteries & on first outing done way better..did a full days worth of filming on one battery which i was impressed with.

[@helenreeves6978]

Heck aren’t the Howgills remote, very ghostly …. Very brave 😅

I've been using the gopro 11 black with the enduro batteries and no problems at all in the cold. Great video as always!

[@AndrewBeavers]

I may be preaching to the choir, but have you tried the GoPro enduro batteries? Thanks for sharing another camp with us.

[@jonm4989]

I discovered the joys of the Howgills for the first time last summer and did the very same walk as you. On another note you mentioning the Dales30 has caught my interest and I’ve gone and ordered the Dales30 book off Where2Walk. I’ve seen your confidence grow producing these videos Andy and hope you’re getting a buzz from the positive feedback. Keep up the good work and as a suggestion why not do a dedicated series on the Dales30? I don’t suppose it’s been done before on KZbin and is obviously very doable. Take care mate.

[@AndrewBeavers]

have to admit i do really like the place its like nothing else how the hills roll along like they do..got the exact same book too when i started looking into the dales 30..something i could look at but id have to start again lol as ive done nearly half now.

[@jonm4989]

@@AndrewBeavers It doesn’t surprise me that you’ve done half of the Dales 30 already. Glenn from Black Crag started his Wainwright series recently and said he’d do them all in the same order as the books (despite having walked and filmed many already). I think his series is working really well and he very much comes across as a man on a mission. I guess one of the beauties of filming the Dales 30 would be the relative ease and I guess you could always default to the favoured routes from the book. Lastly I don’t suppose anyone’s done it on KZbin and it will give a boost to the Dales. Anyhow I’m sure your content will continue to be great regardless Andy. Best of luck to you.

[@boolay75]

Been really curious about wild camping the Howgills for some time now. Apparently got a very remote feel to it.

[@tentipiwildcamping]

Andy, bin the GoPro and get the DJI Osmo 3, no battery issues with that 👍🏻

[@AndrewBeavers]

bought some of those extreme temp batteries & they seem to be doing a lot better.

[@atrampinthehills.841]

We are planning to do all of the Dales 30 this year...Yarlside looks a bugger

Thanks for another cracking video. What altitude are you starting your walks or are you climbing all 674 metres of the peak? Also, are you enjoying your new boots? Nice that they match your down jacket 🙂

You’re getting quite a collection of tents now, you need to try a Dan Durston. How are you finding those new Scarpas? Are they a narrow toe box or suitable for wide feet? Those Howgils look very tempting indeed. Good work as ever Mr Beevers…

[@AndrewBeavers]

the scarpas..ive a narrow foot & they fit well with a spacious foot box..the lacing lends itself to a wider fit though so suitable to all foot types id say..certainly enjoying using them so stable on uneven ground.

Great video again Andy brilliant content, I hope you don’t mind me asking but what is you do for a living as you seem to work different shift patterns, keep the fantastic videos coming.

Hi, can you tell me how this tent is performing in heavy rain and wind ? Also, is the condensation an issue? looking to buy it for my ultralight hiking kit.

Its a decent size tent for its weight and 4 seasons and plenty of room to get changed etc...The Soulo is a solid tent for 4 seasons but even at 5 foot 10 its a bit of a faff getting changed inside the inner when the matts inflated and gear is strewn about.
