[@carlosalmeida1273]

Wow!... Excellent day for hiking and wildcamp. 👍 Always beautiful and relaxing film 🎥 👍. Senic views! ☺ tks for sharing.

[@garnforaratch]

Thank you Carlos.. it certainly was.. we don't get weather like this very often so we had to make the most of it :) best wishes R&D :) :)

[@PaulMessner]

Another cracking video and yet another sublime location. Wastwater is one of my favourite locations. Thanks for sharing, R&D. Best wishes. Paul

[@garnforaratch]

Hi Paul, When the sun shines in Britain where else on earth would you rather be? Got lucky, this was day one of three nights, four days, we were blessed. Seatallan is a summit that not many bother with, they all want the big trophy on the other side of the valley. Cheers for watching...ATB R&D

[@mawebb88]

Fabulous skies and scenery. England's greatest. Will be watching it again for definite. Thanks for sharing. ATB.

[@garnforaratch]

Hi Mike, The camera didn't do the amazing skies justice, it was truly just WOW. Having the Scafell Massif as a view from your tent was rather special. This was day one of a four dayer/3 nighter, so more to come. TFW...ATB R&D

[@steinwaygoat]

Oh perfect day! That countryside reminds me so much of the mountains down in southern Wyoming. I usually travel down there once a summer for a good trip, and if I don't make it, it seems like a lost year! How lovely to be able to come along on your hike. Incredible editing and music. Jules

[@garnforaratch]

Another enjoyable video. We watched it last night. I think we were on dalehead that night. It was a fabulous evening. Great lapses as per. Maybe we have turned a corner. I've not had much rain for ages. I've cursed it now. Anyway. Look forward to the next one. Only cos I'll be in it. 😂. Take care. See you out there.

[@garnforaratch]

Hi Andy & Carrie, Yeah this was the same night as your Dalehead camp. We were out for three nights, this was the first, the other two to follow. Diane loves a good lapse as you know, cracking night up there. We met a lovely couple from Tynemouth whilst up there, he organizes a large walking group over there, we chatted for age's. Could this be summer were having? Take care both...R&D

[@Yorkshiremadmick]

Lovely filming and music I’ve just bagged a used Akto off eBay. And just subbed 👍🏻

[@garnforaratch]

Thank you Michael very much appreciated.. I am sure you will enjoy your Akto.. when we're aloud out again !!! :):)

[@catherineweaver9302]

Sheer class, guys........stunning skies. That side of the Lakes gorgeous. Shaking dust off the tarp this year......see you around, mebbe'.........Borders?

[@garnforaratch]

Thanks Catherine... aye we definitely need to hit them border hills.. would be nice to get some solitude.. love to bump into each other again.. ATB.. R&D :) :)

[@AlanMETALMAN]

New subscriber here and really enjoyed this trip out, canny weather for it as well mind. I saw you on Andy Wardle's video of Angel Tarn and I was up Place Fell on 25 March on a similar day, cold start but boiling by the time I got to the top. Going up there again in a few weeks with my son so we must make sure we call in on Angel Tarn on the way down as it looks, as you said (and one of my favorite sayings) "Well worth the effort" . Cheers Alan.

[@garnforaratch]

Hiya Alan, Subbed you back mate, thanks for subbing and taking time-out to comment. Place fell was the intended destination for that meet, but the group decided on Angle Tarn. The weather god's looked after us, that's for sure, we got lucky. It was warmer on the hill than the campsite. Aye, 'well worth the effort' is something i say quite a lot, because it can be a howk with a big pack getting to those high places...lol. Will check your vids out. ATB R&D

[@ScotsWildcamper]

Great as always , i wish i'd kept my Akto because i've got 3 tents , a 1-man , 2-man and 3-man that are all roughly the same weight ( 2.4kg ) !! Diane looks good in the Eddie hat . Its a good life..... we're lucky to live in a peaceful country and do what we do. ATB and i'm sure we'll meet again some sunny day lol !!

[@garnforaratch]

Hi Eddie, Yeah were fans of the Akto, cracking little tent. Good to have a selection, you can tailor your needs, regarding weight etc. Diane has her Enan now, she is very impressed with it, it's the 600 kerlon version packed weight 1.1kg, unbelievably light and very sturdy when pitched. This years model is kerlon 1000, some of the bigger stockists still have the lighter version. Should be getting it on the hill over the easter break, i'm pondering now...lol. For a long distance walk it would be great. Oh, the hat get's worn and my hip flask is on every trip. Happy Easter from the ratchers! Your 'back oot' soon, look forward to the vid. Aye, we sure will meet again, no fear. Take Care...R&D

[@ScotsWildcamper]

1.1kg !!! Me codpiece weights more than that lol. 600 kerlon never heard of that , i'm very happy with my tents but for 6/7 day trips like the one i did last year and future longer backpacking trips a lighter tent might be worth it for me ! I like headroom more than floorspace , yeah you'll notice the buff in most of my vids , cheers ! Happy Birthday Diane ! X ATB Eddie.

[@RS.Outdoors]

Stunning mate. Wonderful place for a camp and weather looking good. The two of you should look at doing the TGO challenge next year, you would love it. Atb

[@garnforaratch]

Thanks Ray.. the weather was cracking so we made the most of it.. never lasts that long around here.. read about the TGO challenge.. maybe one day.. :) best wishes R&D :) :)

[@jonathanambler]

Beautiful

[@garnforaratch]

Cheers Jonathan.. hope you are enjoying that GoPro.. ATB .. R&D :) :)

[@Bezstopy]

great views, lovely country, pity there are no trees to hang my hammock ;-) btw clouds and lake reflection at the end - postcard material :)

[@garnforaratch]

Hi Bez, Sadly there aren't many summits with trees in the uk, the sheep graze constantly on the high slopes, keeping even the grass shorn to millemeters. We like to hammock too, so relaxing we find. The clarity and long range views were awesome, that view at the end was once voted as the best in the whole of the British Isle's, think i agree. Thanks for watching...Roger & Diane

[@kaz3565]

Brilliant scenery and so peaceful, enjoyed that. Love my trangia triangle and I've got those wee bottles too, handy for carrying :)

[@garnforaratch]

Hiya Kaz, Thanks for watching and taking time-out to comment. The little trangia triangle's are brilliant, and the little bottles too. This was day one of three, and we were blessed with dry conditions. There was still a wee bit of snow, it made for some cracking views. Take care...Roger & Diane

[@MarkTayloroutdoors]

Amazing video, really enjoyed this, absolutely beautiful footage and photography with some great time lapses too. It really is a beautiful area up the Lake District, and I can't wait to get back up there myself and get soak up all the views, and get another video of course 😉 Thanks for sharing, ATB Mark

[@garnforaratch]

Hi Mark, Cheers for watching bud, we are lovers of the Lake District too. Can't get enough of the place really, when were not there we are usually planning our next camp/visit. This was day one of a four dayer, three nighter, we moved around a bit, to get some different conditions, light etc. Each valley has it's own micro climate, it can be raining in one and sunny in the next. Hope you have a great visit, next time your in the lakes...Happy Camping...ATB R&D...ps. be looking out for your vid :)

[@wasdalemanexploringoutdoor5137]

Hi Gang Perfect conditions, you just can't get anything better than that. Regards James

[@garnforaratch]

Aye.. certainly was James.. the weather has been spot on lately.. lets hope it says for the Easter break.. ATB.. R&D :) :)

[@jbss7382]

+garn fora ratch, Thanks for sharing. 1 new subscriber. Any chance you can put a link to the Swedish military fuel bottles; and the fuel you use? Many Thanks Jonathan

[@garnforaratch]

Hi Jonathan, Cheers for watching and the sub, the bottles are swedish military issue and are part of the army trangia stove set-up. The fuel i use is bio-ethanol, and the burner is an Esbit, and of course the trangia triangle. These bottles can be sourced from army surplus stores if your lucky, they are on ebay from time to time. ATB R&D

[@penman8985]

Hey guys, another great video. Do you recommend the Akto as a 1 person, 4 season tent? They look very good although I’ve heard mixed reports about condensation?

[@garnforaratch]

Great 4 season tents, condensation can be an issue with all tents in the UK, our climate is so humid. Loads of vid's on KZbin showing the pro's and con's. Thanks

[@suzannejackson66]

Excellent video Roger, We have just published our wild camp on Middle Fell. What stunning views we had, Hope you get the time to have a look. Hope Diane is well. We are looking forward to Winter wild camping ATB Sue and Steve

[@thenorth-facewanderer6965]
