Solo Angle Tarn Wild Camp In The Lake District

[@tonyclifton1804]

Right now I'm having mental issues had them for years been watching you for about a week And I have ordered some gear And I'm going to start doing little walks and camps Because I'm 54 Thought I had nothing and nowhere but I was wrong ❤❤❤ I was wrong I have everything and everywhere Spent the last of my money not living on my sister's couch anymore thank you

[@susanvaughan4210]

I just had my birthday. I'm old enough to be your grandmother and have mobility issues. So sharing this beautiful trip was a great present for me. Thanks Abbie!

Happy belated bday Susan!

[@kennethcarter5720]

Well I remember your C2C walk and the regret you had not camping there. I am so glad you got there. Well done. A personal achievement for you

[@ianbarnard7682]

One of your best ever films. I smiled and cried. Thanks for bringing the wild when needed.

[@steveb1972]

Abbie you’re big superpower is being one of the nicest people in KZbin Wild Camping! 😊👍🏻

[@chrisbendall4215]

You above all "own your life" you have demonstrated that in your vlog with perfect clarity and detail. Your message to others to understand, take on board and overcome what seems to be an increasingly understood and frequent malady is both brave and caring. Without louding off about my earlier experiences of stress etc I absolutely agree about the healing powers of the outdoors for human kind in general. May your journey be blessed with all comfort. I think you are on to a winner with attitude life is so fleeting. Nice post and take care.

[@scottlinus]

Never stop fighting the fear. Particularly when you feel overwhelmed, vulnerable and disassociated from the world around you. I find it difficult to differentiate between the exhilaration and euphoria of being immersed in nature and the anxiety and panic brought on by doubt in my ability to extricate myself from potential disaster. Thanks for another brilliant video and a belated happy birthday.

[@MichaelAndersen_DK]

When nature rewards you with a stunning sunset and a beautiful morning and day like that, you know you've made the right decision. Birthdays are like when you gathered enough experience points and you level up. Ding!

[@steventhomas231]

Escapism. Thats what i love about this. Relaxing and enjoyable to watch.

[@LynnStAubin-od5qe]

This video really spoke to my heart. Like you, I need nature to fill me up when I’m drained. Thanks for all you do and for sharing your thoughts.

[@markIburgess]

Happy birthday Abbie. Oh to be 25 again. What a fantastic sunset. You really are an inspiration to people. You are also very brave to be so open about your mental health. Wish I was young enough to go wild camping and to get my son there as well. He has just done his bronze DoE. Now for the geek bit of me. The aircraft you saw was Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey a very apt name for you being in the great outdoors. I'm a keen model builder which I do to keep me sane, a get away from the stress of modern life. I did take Adam up Catbells (easy walk, but very busy) 6 or 7 years ago and he (and me) loved it. Love watching your videos. Best wishes, Mark

[@timfarness5136]

Happy Birthday 🎉 25 was a hard one for me also. Thinking a quarter of a century, now I'm almost 60. Many happy years ahead to you!

[@skyblue-df2od]

snap!

[@natkob18]

Thank you very much for the video. Again it is pure therapy. At least for me. And this filter is a great tip.

[@stetomlinson3146]

Happy Birthday! I think I saw you in the area a couple of days after you filmed this! A mate and I were walking the C2C and as we passed my mate said “I’m sure we’ve just passed Abbie Barnes!” I said “You’re seeing things! She doesn’t come up here much, She hangs about down South!” Looks like I was wrong! Stay safe and strong. 😉😀

[@domo3552]

I adore your videos, and I admire your honesty... Thank you! I couldn't find an emoji of a birthday cake - Sorry!

[@chinsewying7447]

Happy belated birthday Abbie All the way from Kuala Lumpur I watch all your videos I hope to be able to walk with you ............one day

[@Adam_Outdoors]

Happy Birthday Abbie. I had similar anxiety's about getting out and camping. You are an inspiration. x

[@TFSOutdoors]

Hi Abbey, Happy Birthday. I was at the tarn a few days before you, it’s a small world! I was hiking the first half of the Coast to Coast and also camped down in Patterdale. Before I left to go on the hike I was suffering terribly with anxiety and my mental health. I decided not to camp at the tarn due to my fears so precooked the campsite. After reaching the tarn the follow day I had the same thought, one day I’m going to wild camp here. It good to know that we are not alone in our thoughts and many others share the same struggles, feelings and thoughts. It’s good to break that silence and Shari ring you experiences is refreshing and something to celebrate. I should say that the five days I completed has had such a positive impact upon me and I came back with a very different mindset to when I went. Thank you so much for sharing,

[@chrisjohnoliver]

I just wanted to thank you for sharing this experience. I've been thinking about lately about taking my son, who has has special educational needs, ADHD & autism amongst other things, on a wild camping trip. He loves the outdoors and camping (albeit usually on a more traditional campsite) and I wasn't sure how he'd feel about wildcamping. However, after watching your video, I sat with my son and we watched it together and he can't wait to go to Angle Tarn! I'd watched quite a few videos, and they were more about what kit you should have etc etc but your video was more about the experience, and that's what me and my son will be going for. So thank you. We'll definitely be there at some point over the summer, and I suspect it won't just be a one time thing.

[@Ratsotone]

When I watch your videos Abbie, I find myself smiling all the way through, you give off such a positive energy and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

[@barrydoxseyuk]

Just watched this over New Year. Reflected on walking Coast to Coast in 2014. Some 49 years after my first climb up to Angle Tarn. Love your videos.. Keep doing it.

[@Daytona2]

What a lovely ramble, thanks Abbie 👍 Love the fact that you weren't under time pressure.

[@alexandrawessel4717]

Oh Abbie i think we are all complicated messes. Some just hide it. You share your ups and downs and help us know we are not alone with our struggles. I really really hope you realise how much your videos mean. And how much they help. Apart from being super beautiful and informative the emotional part to me is even more Important. A year later I hope you had a wonderful 25th birthday. Sending virtual hugs I think you are very amazing.

[@hikingwiththeshackletons]

I 100% agree, getting into nature is so empowering, I feel so alive, exhilarated & at peace out there. I live the working week by planning & looking forward to the next time we’re out on the fells, It’s the only thing I think about.

[@justaguy9451]

Yup I'm in the hiking honeymoon phase, I love everything about hiking and climbing. Apart from the ferns. I hate the ferns.

[@davidlegh-hayton9818]

Well done you. I'm lucky to call Cumbria my home, and though I'm a good deal older still feel those anxieties you speak of. Cumbria is my birth home though I have worked professionally in the outdoors my greatest joy is solo backpacking in my own beautiful homelands. Nothing brings that inner happiness of watching the sun go down on a hard won day or waking to a new day where the choices are ours alone. Keep on keeping on, and just breath it all in.

[@johnalden5821]

Everything in this video is so beautiful and uplifting. Happy birthday, Abbie. Thanks for sharing such a wonderful place, both in the mountains and in your heart. There will be many more for you, I am sure. You should make this a birthday tradition!

[@yasminshikingmission]

This was my first solo wild camping spot! Fab spot, and it was comforting as quite a few other wild campers around when I went. Lovely to have a chat to a few of them when I went and I had a fantastic sunset.

[@angelofloveiam50]

Happppy birthday. Abbie. U did it .tqke it easy. Enjoy love smile make memories and keep sharing and caring

[@spleeeen4it]

[@neilt7191]

Happy Birthday Abbie . Coincidentally we stayed on a small campsite local to us 2 weekends back , where they had Alpacas which we fed . I've not wild camped up at Angle Tarn myself - With a new tent just ordered , I'll make it the next place I pitch up for an overnighter in the hills . Another great adventure in the Lake District Abbie , the clouds lifted in more ways than one . Thanks for the wonderful video . Take care .

[@nigelpartridge339]

Just watch your vid Abbie. I've quite old now 😁 but you are a inspiration to everyone. Thank you. Im letting work take over me with working all time and weekends . . Luckily enough to be offered a more steady job this week and look forward to what I love . Thank you.

[@leejohnstone7500]

Inspirational as always Abbie. Mother nature gave you a spectacular sunset as a present. The outdoors is, as you say the best tonic for any issue. Be kind to yourself and a belated happy birthday.

[@clairecletc9011]

Loved this video! What a beautiful place to wake up to on your birthday! Well done for braving the wild camping and I hope your Penny memories brought you more joy than sadness. Thanks Abbie x

[@wildhypnotist]

Happy belated birthday. Your words on your birthday eve brought a tear to my eye I will not deny. I applaud your courage and hope you find eternal peace one day.

🥳A belated Happy Birthday to you Abbie! A quarter of a century milestone, in your power spot and feeling right. Turned 60yrs on the 27th and enjoyed a very nice park walk too (not as glorious and wild, yet out of doors!). 💌

[@1robboard]

A belated Happy Birthday Abbie and, great that you did 'exactly ' what you wanted to do. Good on you !!

Watched this on my 45th birthday and so much of what you said resonated with me. Thank you, and happy belated birthday! :)

[@iaindunbar1578]

I know I am a bit late, but happy birthday. And just remember, the next time you are feeling low, you have already achieved more than most people have in a much longer time on this earth.

[@gavinprue9541]

Me and a friend stayed overnight at angle tarn on our coast-to-coast hike... watching the sunset over patterdale and the valley was amazing. However, the next morning was like waking up in a aerodynamics tunnel... Great video!

[@HighlandHikers]

Fantastic video, very inspirational, keep up the good work.

[@nigeljones8202]

Another excellent video Abbie. Great videography and meaningful commentary. Amazing lighting as sun illuminated the mountains in profile..wow. Well done again 👍

[@emmawalker4326]

[@clairejohnson7809]

I’m going wild camping next week in the Lakes but as it will be my first time I’m doing it with an arranged women only group! I can’t wait until you start arranging group hikes again as I will definitely partake. Happy belated birthday!

[@phillewis3108]

I absolutely LOVE your videos.

[@lewisjevons52]

This is amazing :) I was literally in Glenridding on 17th after coming down from High Street the night before, in the Lakes for the first time in 2 years! I wish I could have bumped into you to wish you Happy Birthday and tell you how much I appreciate your videos!

[@26CT1445]

Happy Birthday. I love the Lake District and have always wanted to wild camp at Angle Tarn. I really enjoy your videos, thanks for making them.

[@paulfastbikes361]

Happy birthday we nearly met . Was at same place as you . Beautiful place Lakes district. We have to learn to share it . Staycations meaning it's a lot busier

[@loopylou]

This was so lovely. It was nice you didn't need to hurry and could take it in and of course the scenery was first class.

[@Jeff-Vader-1]

Happy birthday Abbie , don't be a hard rock when you really are a gem

[@happygolucky3616]

Happy belated birthday 😄 Great video! Thanks for uploading. I camped at red tarn 4 week ago. (beautiful sunrise) I was thinking of going again this week but I may go up to angle tarn now 😀

[@BackpackingUK]

Happy Birthday! Great video again, Angle Tarn is a lovely location to camp.

[@antje8303]

So so so happy for your!! What an accomplishment !! Been following your solo camping attempts and I am exactly like you! And it feels soooo unbelievably great if one is able to push through ones fears! My success this year was going on the St James Way solo, camping (but on campsites) with the aim of being able to wildcamp soon! I live in the middle of the French Alps and it would be so easy here but my unreasonable fears are holding me back. Seeing this gives me so much energy and courage and hope that Ill be able to overcome my fears at some point, too!

[@christopherbrightman-white1961]

you are an absolute inspiration, Abbie

[@mikebarrow157]

Glad to see that you're still producing your good stuff Abbie! I lost my dog last week and have dropped from three walks a day to vegetating. Looking to your films for motivation.

[@sicooper4230]

Stay strong Mike.

[@lyndaturner9294]

Sad news, hope you’re able to get out and get some exercise soon 🤗

So thanks for taking us up there with ya.. Ps you looked so emotional tucking into that first chip.."Stay wild abbie" 👏🙏💐🍻

[@heinrichdiederichsen3467]

What a beautiful walk. Thanks for being with you!

This is my favourite video yet. Love your passion and beautifully filmed. Well done and what a wonderful way to spend your birthday. 😊

[@StudioPluckyPuck]

What a fantastic thing to find on my lunch break! :D Love it!

[@krysiabrowne3605]

I did my first solo wild camp in the lake district on the 7th June, spent 3 days in the mountains started in Ennerdale lake, visited Scarfell pike and accidently ended up in Buttermere then back into Ennerdale :D. Loved it and planning future trips, even when I was drenched through and exhausted on the last day :)

[@googletookmyoriginaluserna4182]

Happy birthday Abbie, thanks for all your inspiring and motivating content!

[@Matt7895]

I did Catbells, High Moor, High Spy and Dale Head Tarn while you were doing that! So awesome to think you were fellwalking the same day as me!

[@FootieFan2024]

Abbie this place is ridiculously picturesque! A real gem of a place. Loved that sunset too. Your coast to coast was an amazing achievement for you. I've never seen anybody cover so many miles before ever not even the other walkers I watch on KZbin,channels like John Rogers,Tom Outdoors and Day Tripper. Mind you though John Rogers did do 32 miles once and Tom Outdoors has completed the South or North Downs path can't remember which one it is. If you get the chance to watch any other walkers on KZbin I can't highly recommend those channels I've mentioned. I also watch Ladmob too but he does more live streams than anything else. Sorry for the essay 😆😆😆. Great video! And Happy Birthday!

[@leedennehy5077]

Abbie, you are bloody brilliant 👍

[@miagifodder5599]

It's cool you got into nature so young. I was 26 when i got into getting out and about sorted me right out.

[@davidharber6790]

Aw, love these! i have a daughter of Abbie's age which makes me feel all protective lol

Sorry.. Happy belated birthday wishes to you Abbie . Forgive me as I should have said this at the beginning of my previous. Congratulations I hope it was all you wished for ... Happy days 🥳

[@andykeast8920]

You are 27 now so happy belated 25th and happy 27th for last June. Really enjoying your blogs. I’ve just bought my first tent at 53 yrs and looking forward to some wild camping. Probably start in Dartmoor since I’m a Southerner. I’ve been inspired. Looking forward to some outdoor therapy. Bless your heart Abbie ❤

[@gilleliz2]

A late happy birthday to you. You did a smashing job all alone, nerves of steel, well done. X

[@icegypsy99]

What an amazing way to spend your birthday. I'm trying to get to that point myself. I have had a lot of loss in our family. 4 in the past 2 years. I feel so broken sometimes. I think I'm still a ways off from doing any camping. focusing instead on getting out more regularly into nature. It really does help.

[@msyeah4835]

Happy belated birthday. Beautiful video

[@rozbeaumont4587]

aww happy birthday Abbie. keep doing what you do, i love walking along with you, albeit by tv
