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

[@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

[@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.

[@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!

[@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,

[@Adam_Outdoors]

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

[@steveb1972]

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

[@ianbarnard7682]

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

[@markburgess4528]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@steventhomas231]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@natkob18]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@martinspeck7482]

good for you girl!! I'm watching this on 01,07,21 and i turn 55 in the morning, i wouldn't of even felt happy parking in that lay by! subscribed and liked,,, chase your dreams and enjoy every moment

[@Daytona2]

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

[@angelofloveiam50]

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

[@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.

[@akkedegroot4883]

Happy birthday! You are amazing. It is beautiful what you do and tell us. You are doing it! Be proud and happy.

[@georgehaines9386]

What a lovely video abbie.. And the quality was exceptional.. You must take inspiration from all this.. after all it's all your own work..effort and creation your very gifted.. So thanks for taking us up there with ya.. Ps you looked so emotional tucking into that first chip.."Stay wild abbie" 👏🙏💐🍻

[@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.

[@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 .

[@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!

[@spleeeen4it]

You're an amazing host and guide. Keep up the fantastic work.

[@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

[@elisekennewell2205]

Well done! So wonderful to share this joy with you. I so relate to you and your challenges, thank you for your channel and your commitment! ❤️❤️

[@HighlandHikers]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@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 :)

[@nadine8785]

Happy Birthday Abbie, another beautiful video with amazing scenery. Thanks x

[@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!

[@jeans1712]

🥳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!). 💌

[@lespeacock591]

As always Abbie - feels as if I am there too. It feels like I am walking thorugh life alongside you with these Films and it is a very gracious & inspiring thing. Thank You Abbie. Stay Safe.

[@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.

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!

[@1robboard]

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

[@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.

[@Peterjames3535]

It’s so good to see you solo again.

[@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.

[@BackpackingUK]

[@geoffminter2927]

Great video Abbie. I fully understand that feeling of freedom whilst out on the trail and I've walked nowhere near as far as you! (I'm changing that !) I am truly at peace with myself when outdoors. Happy birthday too!! 🎂🌸

[@nigeljones8202]

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

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 ❤

[@AbbieBarnesWILD]

Enjoy! And thanks for the bday wishes!

Happy belated birthday, Abbie! In 2018, I scaled Helvellyn via Striding Edge on me birthday and it was a most rewarding ramble. Your gorgeous trek reminded me of that day. Ta!

[@crystalelkins5301]

Absolutely gorgeous views! ❤

[@marcuscastle]

Looked amazing well done, I'm plucking up the nerve to do my first wild camp!

[@ianpark1805]

Ah, lovely video. Familiar territory for me. Years ago I devised my own ‘Tour of the Lakes’ and where you turned down to Patterdale we continued up - John Bells Banner? (I’m sure someone will correct me if I’m misremembering) - and over to Hartsop Dodd before dropping (I use the word advisedly) into Patterdale. I’ve also mastered that yoga move you did at the beginning - I think you’ll find it’s is known as the ‘Whoaaa-arrgggh’!

[@paulyoung5393]

Happy belated birthday Abbie! Thanks for the video, it brought back very happy memories as my brother and I walked down that same valley a number of years ago on a scorching hot day. Beautiful area.

[@phillewis3108]

I absolutely LOVE your videos.

[@cullenfitzgerald7484]

Thank you so much Abbie for sharing this inspiring self growth experience! There is just something about being in the wild that brings me such a mental high. It’s my escape from reality. Although I have had the courage to wild camp just yet. Your content brings me and my partner an escape when we are caught up in the day to day hustle. Thank you.

[@kwoody1986]

Happy birthday Abbie 🎂. It's great to see you getting over your fears of wild camping. Really enjoyed this video. Keep on inspiring and being you. Take care cheers Karl 🤟🤟🤟

[@rozbeaumont4587]

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

[@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.

[@cruisesandland]

Thank you for this great video! You gave me some ideas for my hiking trip to the Lake District district this coming June 2022. ❤️
