That time-lapse was incredible! 😍

[@grahamsmallpeice1212]

Just finished watching and you ask if we want to see similar videos…. it’s a yes from me. It’s actually like we’re there with you when we can’t be. Like being out with a mate. Keep doing what you’re doing and we’ll keep watching 👍🏼

[@danielevans6720]

These videos are my favourite of yours, the hiking is good but these videos have them all

[@andrewshore2898]

Thank God for that! I thought you were going to disappear for awhile, and that I would miss my weekly fix, (💉💊) but I was wrong, and daddy’s gonna make me feel good again.

[@mikewinrow364]

I really enjoyed our night out with you Glenn Deffo love these type vids

[@dt8ustotten285]

WILD CAMP WAHOO!!! Yup miss you Finn. Bag of VOMIT LOL!! Love your new tent.. so much room! OH YES.. love the over nighters!! Think it is relaxing for us and you. Enjoyed a couple of your sea side adventurers as well. Thanks so much for sharing! Love from the USA!

[@paulcooper9187]

Occasional overnighters would be really good

[@barbarawilliams5621]

We really enjoyed this, the changing sky was amazing. Love the van camps as well….but then we enjoy all you video!

[@paulbennison2614]

Loved it. The time lapse of the night sky was simply beautiful. More of the same would be great.

[@MisterChrisInTheUK]

Yes, definitely enjoy these short trip videos. Thanks as always!

[@wind_breaker]

I love these tent and van overnighters! Multi day is great too!

[@ClemThomas-on4db]

Your videos are never boring I look forward to every one great channel well worth the watch would love to see you do the Highland way

[@niclrig]

I love this video. Loved the views, the chat and the relaxing feel to it. I found it a very therapeutic watch😊 Glad you got a photograph of that beautiful morning view. I will keep my eye open for that on your website. Really looking forward to some multi day hike videos 😊 Thanks Glenn 😊

[@nicminx]

Absolutely love the camping vids and van trips. Should do some trips around the big dams as they’re pretty dramatic. But whatever you do it’ll be fab

[@neilbuswell6205]

Love your camping videos, It’s because of you Glen why I went out and bought a tent and camping gear last year and me and my kids came up to the Lake District and had a fantastic weekend, can’t wait to do it again soon.

[@Fishy1764]

I actually love the camping vids Glenn be it in a tent or the van and not forgetting the walks there also enjoyable .🤪👍

[@tamirew9247]

I love all your content but the van camping videos are my favorite. They seem to be more personal and humorous.

[@mitchelljsawyers]

Sublime vistas in every direction! Absolutely stunning... the best camping spot ever. Yes, I like the wild camps, van trips and it would be great to see more of those. Thank you, kind sir.

[@johnmacdonald6345]

I've watched and enjoyed everything you've ever posted and I have to say this is BEST EVER. The video has everything. Views, camping, banter, commentary, tent review. The time lapse is the best I've ever seen. More like this please. Well done and thank you.

[@hazelduerdoth4333]

I could live in a house like they out there ❤️ the peace and quiet .. just wow . Finn is probably chilling with mum dreaming about going for a hike with you but when she’s with you she’s probably dreaming of chilling out with mum 🤣🤣🤣

[@RETROinversion186]

These are my favorite videos of yours! Love the overnight camps 🏕🏕🏕

[@clairepennington9416]

Got very excited knowing you had a new tent...getting old, its the little things lol...seriously tho you are an amazing photographer you really are, you capture nature perfectly. Seriously in love with your pictures x

[@barryhaggis9601]

This edit was perfect. Just GoPro and main cam too for some beautiful shots.

[@mrmackie007]

Yes more of the random overnighters would be great 😃

[@PeterR1chard]

Really enjoy the overnight ones with things like the amazing time lapse footage. Especially this one which was an absolute belter.

[@grahamtowler1761]

Great sunset and views from your camping spot

[@winstonward5772]

Whoah Glenn, that Timelapse was insane. Great video as usual and you were great on Neale James’ podcast as well 👏👏👏

[@willbo2000]

Definitely like this kind of video, great tent, fantastic light & conditions, awesome breakfast!

[@paulradford7290]

Loved the time lapse! Got to say I enjoy the mixture of different types of content. I've not done any wild camping yet so kind of living that experience through you at present.

[@duckypam]

I love your wild camping and van videos. More please

[@paulstubbs1843]

That’s an amusing thought…. us all in your tent together 😂. You seem to be adding more humour as your confidence grows 👍

[@kristinahenschien2771]

Your videos are real tonics, so refreshing and fun☺️

[@davehopper7928]

You have pitched in almost the same spot as i did in winter. Clear night minus 7 no wind perfect conditions. That tent is so sturdy in strong wind winter conditions hence the extra weight.

[@user-km7cu1bs6b]

Brill vid as always Glenn. I love every single one you make but I do have to say for me I am converted to the camping vids. I prefer these. It feels somehow like i’ve had a complete trip away when I watch you have a walk and then set up home for the night, make a meal, have a drink and waffle as the sun goes down and then wake to breakfast and a new day. The part where you mention the simulation had me… 😂. I always say the same. If the light is right in the fells they somehow look fake or painted dont they? When I show my pals my photos they think it isn’t real. The colours somehow look like its being displayed on a HD screen that we cannot see- so beautiful.! I will as always watch on Patreon too when you upload it. I have never wild camped yet. I have nobody I know that does but I desperately want to try it. Maybe sometime you could do a video for people wanting to get into it to give them ideas on what to buy or how to set a basic tent up. I have no idea where to start, how to use a jetboil, which tent to buy or how to pitch it. I’ve tried finding companies who rent gear or take you with them so Im not on my own whilst learning but not having much luck. You are so patient when you talk I think I could take pointers from you🙏 just a thought. I appreciate you are a busy man. Thanks again for another cracking Sunday evening well spent. Take care matey🤟🥾 Ange- ps, love love love that music you play at the end. It suits your vids when I hear it now I think of you driving back from a walk

[@tnetroP]

What a great video. I'm not a hiker or wild camper. But I've been thinking of giving it a try. I've had a quite bad 10 to 15 years and am looking for peace and solitude. Watching videos like this of the beautiful scenery makes me realise I need some of this in my life. Thank you.

[@BrynDavies67]

Yep love these videos Glenn, especially the overnight timelapses. Interesting to see what equipment you take for a wild camp, apart from the obvious. Eg how much water & food. It’s also nice to see places that are familiar from other vids but to see them at dusk and dawn. Love HTW as a comprehensive guide to the lakes but these add an extra dimension.

[@DAVID-kl7fz]

Hi just a brilliant vlog and I'm glad your now stopping and pitching tent, some walks were quite long (you know )and your time laps was really enjoyable to watch , more of theses please .what i also like is you take us back to main road where you started, showing a new rout back and how to get back , some walks vlogs just stop and this is when you tend to get lost once again brill .

[@rpark8265]

Good to see you enjoying your second breakfast Glen although you’re a bit taller than the average hobbit 😂

[@Mountain-K2]

Thanks Glenn, yet another lovely video... I love seeing new gear and esp tents. Was sitting on Dow Crag today the views are mind blowing. Dow Crag is very interesting place people chat together in the centre of this crag on it's summit it's amazing... Kindest regards... ♥

[@seanb6259]

Content ideas you asked? Maybe do all the areas best most picturesque waterfalls? Maybe some lesser known fells/ tarns/ valleys? Just some ideas, loving the recent posts. The only LD fix I’m getting lately in your videos! 😔

[@dantheman7486]

Favourite episode yet

[@paulyoung5393]

I do love the time lapse shots, especially that overnight one. Amazing to see the cloud development and the light returning. Another great video, thanks Glenn.

[@andrease2320]

So i have two tents of the brand. Have try two snug packs which are two small or two heavy one of the tent of this brand is very light one. Which I take out on day hikes use in winter to ditch in snow at less 0ne kg. It a great security blanket in case of bad weather but the other is your tent I use as main tent because only 2 kg but it as y say open two sides give cook out the wind at all times but in good weather extend the room. I find very handy in mountain weather because it has the room to dress and stand up in rain when you need the space or cook with being 4 seasons it great in storm. In dangerous weather. When you get trap on the fell you love it for weight to size of use room. It the bed of choice. But one warning use a foam mattress under the ground sheet it very thin easily I would think to be damaged on roof ground with out there extra protection ground sheat. Use foam rolll to protect it

[@TheGearHunter]

37:23 love this time-lapse, perfect choice of music. Delicious!! Thanks 🙏

[@ac9110]

That was thoroughly enjoyable to watch. Great to see some camping as well as the regular Wainwright ones.

[@moretea8314]

There are backing vlogs and wild camping vlogs then there's BlackCrag vlogs; quality. The Lake District is beautiful, which you capture so well. One day I'll get to retire there but until then I settle for the occasional visit and regular BlackCrag vlogs. Cheers Simon of Suffolk.

[@gj2772]

Nearly at the end of this one and I have to say, what a cracking video pal. Id definately like to see more of the same, possibly work in some of your fitness and nutrient regime? Also that overnight time lapse was genuinely one of the best ive seen. Bravo.

[@hazelduerdoth4333]

Spiders are the reason why I’d never go camping 🤣🤣 and also that I’d have to have a pee pot inside the tent 🤣cause I’d never go outside during the night .

[@worstuserever]

In the UK? Indigenous spiders are all harmless to humans. Lots of them are so cute if you watch for a while, especially jumping spiders who will gaze at you intently and even hop right into your hand.

[@hazelduerdoth4333]

@@worstuserever I see a spider and I’m a goner 🤣🤣🤣

[@flyingvisit2586]

Of course we are all enjoying your camp trip, your new tent looks great, 2 doors you're spoilt! Heavenly views up there. You've got all that one needs to be happy. I love that sound of the zip and the smell of the tent fabric and what a fantastic sunrise! Just love the wild camp trips. Thanks Glenn. 😍👍

[@sheffycity]

Good morning Craig Wow what beautiful views and the tent look pretty cool to have a gd day Craig looking forward to the next one Trace 😊

[@Brock_in_the_North]

Enjoyed listening to more of your story on The PhotoWalk Podscast. Always good to get inside the mind of a photographer 😊

[@christinejones2205]

Perfect Black Crag video - views, chat wild camping and another picture in our wish list! Thank you!

[@Johnlancaster]

Great film and some superb conditions. Tent looks a winner 👍

[@shabingly]

I'd suggest a tunnel tent as a mid-point between ultralight and something like the Southern Cross; but as you seem into two entrances, the only dual entrance tunnel I can think of is the Hilleberg Helags, and I think the 2-person of that is 2.3kg-ish? And a grand. If you used walking poles, I'd suggest an Xmid, or maybe summat by Liteway if you fancied single wall.

[@medievalladybird394]

Loved this one, what a treat🎉🎉 Plus you answered a question I had been wondering about: everyone using the collapsible beakers of a sudden, mostly orange coloured. You were the first to show that the cup actually is collapsible, as I had assumed. We had similar ones in the sixties, invented in the GDR, but they were tricky and could collapse middrink. I like my porridge "unadulterated": water, oatmeal, salt. When its nice and thick and in your bowl, cover it with brown sugar(optional) and let it swim in cold milk. Anything else I'd call hot Muesli. But that's just me.😅

[@cressidaheath9252]

Such a wonderful vantage point to watch the weather doing its thing, in a picturesque way for a change! A definite thumbs up from me to more camping-out videos with great views, whether in the tent or van, and some waffalage. (It is even better if the Flynnster can come too) Thanks for doing what you do, the obvious enthusiasm for the photography side of your adventures definitely adds to the enjoyment of watching each week.

[@carolginther9996]

I like the overnight trips and I would like them even more if Finn got to go too.

[@robbayliss9010]

That time lapse over night was breath taking. Hopefully the witch didn't notice your presence overlooking her bridge.

[@paulgul1]

Loved the video, the time lapse bit overnight was great. I'd like to see more footage taken with a standard lens, the ultra wide angle lens is very deceiving for distance. It give the impression of something brings miles away and then you say it'll take 10 minutes to walk there 😂

[@louisesmith3860]

Looks good to me cracking tent. Great video again and stunning views. Thank-you again xx

[@peterwillis4239]

Yes perfect walk out and wild camp. Beautiful scenery. Thank you. 👍

[@ranarentz1124]

Love these camping videos so much!

[@petemarsden9431]

Love all your videos, but the wildcamping ones like this are my favourite. Brilliant as always.

[@debskeith]

Random nights away are great, and love these videos…..I do particularly enjoy the van ones too👍

[@Mark1967cotty]

Just a brilliant watch again Glenn makes my Sunday night 👍, how about camping the wainwrights series 😂👍

[@markandamira]

Just loved this video. Just makes wanna get out there. Good job 👍🏻👍🏻

[@gordonharker4705]

I absolutely love that. The sun rises superb. 👏👏👏

[@user-dz9qf7sj6m]

Sat in my apartment on Kos watching this excellent video. Thanks for sharing Glen, Steve.

[@thewilksourlife631]

Hi Glenn, another really injoyable video with fantastic scenery. That inversion was mega. I like watching your overnighters wildcamping. I'm interested in photography so the only thing would be may be to explain more about the equipment you use for that and shots. Your banter is great and you are funny with it. I watch with a smile. Thankyou.

[@cherylgoodwin2838]

Bloody smashing video and yes loving the camping. Unfortunately for me any walking is on hold due to health, esp feet with tendinopathy and plantar fasciitis. So the videos are wonderful to watch, esp the camping as that's were I would love to be out on our local mountains with buds my Alaskan Malamute 🐺....but fingers crossed maybe next year 🤞🏻🤞🏻. So please more vids camping and walking all are fantastic 👍🏼

[@lewisdiamond7850]

Great video and love the short wild camps, keep them coming.

[@catbuffett3675]

Love all your content! Always look forward to watching your adventures… 😃

[@jamies_adventures]

That’s my favourite tent too. It goes with me everywhere in all seasons (including summer actually). Great vid :-)

[@oldskoolbarbie6087]

Awesome Timelapse Glenn.. enjoy all the vids, after living in the lakes for about 7 years, i still love seeing more of them, now I’m no longer there… though I can sometimes see the mountains from the Isle of Man…

[@user-cu4cn6qd2q]

Yes! Could we have more of these, please? Great video, thank you!❤

[@gaylinlyons6534]

I did enjoy this camping video. I will watch more. The shots you took were amazing! I no longer do any camping but I am a wildlife photographer and I keep learning from you, especially about light. Great, this is great. Thank you! - Ontario, Canada

[@user-vb7ij4kd9f]

Loving this video! Yay to more wild camping, looking forward to the videography and photography from the earlier and later parts of the day.

[@northstarcreative]

And van ones too - all good 👍

[@grahamtowler1761]

Its all good and you have to do what you like, the walks are brilliant though, even lower level ones would be great though not really your thing

[@mariaj1719]

It was great to watch and straight away became a favourite. We can’t get to the Lakes till September so until then we rely on your videos to take us on hikes and walks. Also loved the podcast, you should do your own 😊

[@ragingbull9940]

Excellent bit of escapism, great photography as usual Keep the foil packets and make your own porridge and meals much cheaper Always entertaing

[@glennwilliams-dk7vk]

Great video love the camping trips and the way you don't push or promote anything totally genuine keep up the good work 👍...

[@dixonpeter]

I enjoy the day hike and camping vids, not too bothered about the van vids but dont mind them, especially if they feature the fluffy white beastie. Would love to see some vids up some biiiiig hills in Scotland or other places, really enjoyed the Madeira vids.

[@grahamrussell1651]

Good video Glenn, the time lapse was fantastic

[@mccoysmedia]

Like all the videos mate. Van, wild camp and of course the ramblings on the normal walks 😂 Thought the time lapse over night was class 👍🏻 That style was a bit naughty, not sure it should have barbed wire in it !

[@jcascroft]

Definitely more please Glenn, loved it thanks 😁

[@slowfranklin3094]

Nordisk halland 2 lw, huge and very leight weight. Only downside: not selfstanding, tunnel tent. Repetching if you've hit an uneven spot is a pita. Had it with me in the lake district in May for me and the big dog, perfect for that.

[@mrptpalmer]

Thanks for all the videos and well done on your amazing photos! Always wondered about your other tent - seemed like an odd choice as an inner pitch first so had a good laugh when you explained it 😅. The SC looks like an amazing tent - hope you enjoy it for years to come buddy.....

[@Dagrdottir]

Got up early today 4.30 am, it'smy birthday and the rotten dog wouldnt let me lay in so I went for a walk on the marsh behind my house and it was thick fog. So much so that the Dungeness power station looked to be floating! Rays of sun broke through and a friend was walking their dog 100 yards away and looked like a ghost walking through the beams. By 6am all fog was gone and it has been roasting all day. Your video showing the fantastic of scenery is wonderful and I love it when you camp overnight and stay in the van overnight.

[@markkendall9167]

Love the camping vids Glenn. Always a treat to watch.

[@martinappleby2895]

Great Vlog Glen, the timelapse was awesome. As for the tent I don't think you can go wrong with the SC2 especially when your up in the mountains, for your multi day hikes and a lighter tent have a look at Durston and the Nemo tents.

[@carltonwood2873]

Hi Glenn, I really enjoyed this! Your overnight videos are definitely my favourites, you need to get out in the van!!

[@Indigenous-English-Man]

Great video sir. I visited Zermatt in April and and hiked up to the zmuttgletscher glacier which sits under the southern face of the Matterhorn. As much as I love the lakes. After seeing those views and the height of some of the mountains it’s hard to ever feel overwhelmed up in the lakes now lol.

[@richardborley7326]

Loved it . Your camp vids are always great as is all your work. Keep it up 👍🏼

[@danielcargill8019]

Great hike and camp. Is there anybody watching this Euro? Great tournament so far. It's funny how the English are so critical of the team. Boston fans are the same way.🇬🇧🇺🇸

[@richardpearson5036]

Eyup glen, I'm loving this video, sat watching you on the square eye and commenting on me fooern 😀. Yes yes yes, I'd love to see more camping and yomping. Just as an aside, I too love photography, I've learned quite a bit from you about light and such,just loving the content buddy, thank you so much .

[@nigelplatt3808]

Really enjoyed this one Glenn , that tent looks perfect and I cant wait to see some more overnight adventures👍As a carp angler as well as a landscape photographer, I just wanted to say that anglers have used Avons Skin so Soft as a midge repellent for a long time as well, it works brilliantly.

[@james-qw1mi]

the new tent looks great thier nothing better than being drunk on the fell way the witches bridge at the bottom of the hill hope you slept well lol

[@hellieb1277]

Really enjoyed this one. The views were incredible. Really looking forward to seeing more wild camps and van camps. Hubby and myself want to do the Cumbria way so really looking forward to seeing you do this one for us 😀
