SCAFELL PIKE Solo Summit Camp - surviving a freezing night alone on England’s highest mountain

Solo winter summit camp in my Hilleberg Allak 2 on England’s highest mountain; Scafell Pike.
Had an amazing night on my favourite mountain at the weekend. Dragged my 18kg rucksack with full winter gear to 3140ft just below the summit of Scafell Pike. An amazing night of solitude on England’s highest mountain. Stunningly beautiful but brutal winter mountain conditions in the morning.

You know more than most of us and you still say “.. if you’ve got any advice for me..” humility is my favourite human characteristic 👏🗻

[@unclepeteswildadventures]

Well said about those who say ‘it’s only the Lake District!!’ Words can’t describe how good this video is!!!

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

Big thanks UP. Means a lot 🙏🏻

[@johnmacdonald6345]

Well !! What can I say Dave. This has to be one of the best videos ever. My partner Jill and I admire your determination. Some of that footage shows Antarctic conditions. True entertainment. One request though, please tell us day and date during your introduction as it's good to put a timeline to your adventures. Thanks Dave. Kind regards John and Jill.

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

Big thanks guys. Really appreciate that 🙏🏻

[@malgreenley-lakedistrictvi5230]

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

Absolutely Mal 🙏🏻

[@joinmeoutdoors]

Bloody hell Dave, that was an absolute masterpiece! The conditions in the morning were everything we hope for on these outings. I loved the shots on the summit in the morning! We are so fortunate to be around in this era where the technology is light and compact enough for us to capture moments like these. Cracking job 👏👏👏 ATB, James.

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

Much appreciated James. Thank you 🙏🏻

[@lostintransit5822]

You are truly in your element up there and it shows on your face. Stunning camp! Thanks for taking us along, your effort is very much appreciated❤ You should add a link where we could donate you a coffee or pint as a thankyou 👍

I really appreciate the trouble you’ve taken to get to places and photograph and video some outstanding landscapes . Many very vivid reminders of places visited in younger days but alas can only watch on KZbin while caring for my partner with Alzheimer’s.. You may well have many cares in your audience enjoying the images you bring to their homes.Well done and thanks .

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

Big thanks for your comments Paul. Really appreciated. Take care - Dave 🙏🏻

[@22patch22]

Great video ,that view from the summit with the sun coming up was breathtaking to watch . You certainly know your stuff. Liked and subscribed 👍

Awesome, thank you!

[@dementiaresearchershorts]

I love the way you talk about the mountains and the Lake District. It’s my favourite place in the U.K. and I love walking in the fells. Keep up the great work, the way you shoot and stitch your videos together is perfect. Onwards and upwards mate!

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

Big thanks DW. Much appreciated 🙏🏻. ATB

Thank you too!

[@damianhill6704]

Loved the first pumping at the summit the next morning. You can't buy that feeling. Although I think I'd of taken a nice cup of tea with me.,....

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

Big thanks🙏🏻. Think the brew would have been blown out of my cup 💨 🫖 😁

[@mojorisen1295]

Just amazing that your country has no trees, which would offer you a little cover from them winds you are always finding! I camp out at tree line in my winter trips at 10,250! nothing like camping in the winter months! Love your crushing winter trips in the freeze of England!

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

Much appreciated. Glad you enjoyed it and best wishes 🙏🏻

[@kevmacsx]

Great viewing. Born and bred there but left in my mid 20's. 40 yrs on and it brought back so many memories. Thanks for sharing.

That’s brilliant Kev. ATB 😎👍

[@DAVID-kl7fz]

Just brilliant , what an epic adventure once again taking us up to Scafell pike in winter just amazing even with the time and all the right gear i wouldn't attempt it (yet ) without the training and experience built up first doing smaller trips .very inspiring Dave stay safe Brilliant

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

🙏🏻

[@paulbennison2614]

Awesome as ever Dave.

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

🙏🏻

[@normanc.2021]

Another awesome trip Dave 👍. I noticed that you were alone in this video. Lol always beautiful and worth watching. Be safe my friend have a great week. ✌️

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

Big thanks as always Norman 🙏🏻

[@Northern_Rockhopper]

Jesus mate, that is some serious graft, not only hiking up to the top of Englands highest mountain with all that camping gear on your back, but with the icy conditions as well, well done man. Well deserved beer after that trip for sure. Amazing video as always. so inspiring to make me get out and camp. This’ll be one camp you’ll never forget, there’s not many people can say they’ve had Scafell Pike all to themselves. Thanks for sharing mate. Look forward to the next one.

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

Much appreciated Rick 🙏🏻

[@adge_ventures4915]

Sensational Dave! What a brilliant watch. Hope you're keeping well and staying busy 😊 Adge

Great film Dave, Working over seas at the min and just watching this makes you realise, we have some of the best views in the world.

Absolutely Steve 🙏🏻

[@malcolminstone4213]

Just watched a very happy bloke up a mountain. Brilliant stuff Dave the film quality is brilliant and those sunrise scenes were scrumptious. Don't stop and ta❤️ PS Getting under my duvet now!

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

Haha. Don’t blame you Malcolm 🥶. ATB

[@simoneales4566]

Loved this camp Dave, didn't want it to end...and I don't think you did either😄. Was waiting all weekend for this video to drop and it didn't disappoint. Fantastic scenery but tough conditions up there, which you coped with showing your expertise and good humour. Snowy mountain tops look magical but you really nailed it home how tough it can be for the inexperienced or unprepared. Was working all weekend so was glad to, just for an hour, feel like i'd been in The Lakes..the best place ever. Great stuff mate👍

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

Brilliant Simon. So glad you enjoyed it 🙏🏻

[@EzeAdventurer]

EPIC BROTHER! Well done!

[@Mark1967cotty]

Thanks Dave for another fantastic video,amazing no need to have tv on whilst your making these ,there’s no better watch 🙏👍👍

Glad you enjoyed it 🙏🏻

[@sam.midford]

Another great video 😊👍 the opening shots are epic. I had to get a hot water bottle and blanket for this one 🥶... Definitely parky outside!

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

Cheers Sam. Haha. Very 🥶👍

[@HikerBobOfficial]

Nice one Dave, this was absolutely epic 👏... watched this all the way through 👍... I've just got an allak same colour and still not had chance to get out in it ... there is something epic about winter summit camping .. it's my favourite... see you on the next one 🙏

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

Cheers Bob. It’s a bit of a lump the old Allak but once you’re pitched up and inside it’s an absolute palace 🙏🏻

[@joycehopps7093]

That was awesome but I was so worried for you in those conditions. However, you did it and you must have a fantastic sense of achievement after that. Well done it must take real guts. 👏

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

Thank you Joyce. Yeah I loved it. Was really tough but I did enjoy it. Take care - Dave
