Solo Hiking the Dragons Back, Chrome Hill

[@DrunkOnWanderlust]

Great vid, lovely views 😁

[@krisgleave]

Aww thank you. Starting the Cumbria Way today, day later than planned. Depending on how it goes I don’t know if I’ll be there this weekend I’ll have to play it by ear and see how many miles I can get done today. Probably take me 4 days but I’ll try for 3, that way I will be able to make it. Fingers crossed

Enjoyed the video Kris. My wife and I have driven around that area, but never been up them hills. Mind you, fear of heights, getting dizzy usually on such walks, I'll leave them walks to you lol

[@krisgleave]

Haha yeah that makes sense. Although, Chrome Hill is alright and I’m sure you’ll be fine with that. That’s the main hill anyway and not really that exposed. Parkhouse Hill is the steeper one. It’s well worth checking out it’s a lovely area around there. Thank you

Some long walk bys on this one Kris 😂 how small were people back in the day to be able to fit in the bunker 😮

[@krisgleave]

Haha I know…this is from when I used to make an effort haha. No idea how they fit in there. Maybe I’m just a heffer haha

I'm a big fan of Chrome Hill. How was it for a wild camp location Kris? The last time I walked it, virtually the whole hill was ankle deep in sheep shit and it put me off! Good on you for going through the 'Dragon's Eye'....it has to be done. ATB pal.

Cheers Chris. Oh don’t get me wrong…it’s full of it up there haha. But there’s a spot that I point out when I pitched mine and was fine. Not the straightest pitch but doable. It was windy the night I pitched there too and was in my Lanshan 2 Pro which I had at the time. Anytime after next week I’m good for a camp anywhere if you fancy one as think you said you’re available Fridays. Off doing the Cumbria Way solo on Tuesday

[@ChrisJB]

@@krisgleave Okay mate. If the weather holds I might be out next Friday night (one of the Dales 2000 footers I still need). Have a good un on the CW and we can sort summat out after. 👍

[@krisgleave]

@@ChrisJB Okay great sounds good. I’m on the trail Tuesday to Friday although hoping I can get some decent miles in the first day and access it from there

looks like a nice day for it mate - enjoy your 'early retirement' mate and maybe this is providence's hand giving you a push in a direction which you needed to make in your life !

[@krisgleave]

Haha I know…I’d love early retirement haha. Do have an idea of what I want to do, it’s just putting it all into action now
