Coming to terms with being a wainwright bagger is an emotionally overwhelming experience that can lead you to experience feelings of denial, anger, bargaining, depression and eventually acceptance!! 😉

I don't mean to sound stupid but what is a wainwright bagger???

[@ELFATIH3127.OFFICIAL]

Beautiful scenery for camping...

[@angelaknisely-marpole7679]

Lovely, thank you!

[@mattcarr3798]

Great vlog Chris, i was chuckling when you said, i bid you a good night, then started laughing yourself 😅, keep it up Chris always look forward to the new vlogs 👍

Funny I’ve just got back from a walk up to the water falls.

[@user-fk8rb8ue5h]

Stunning. Thanks for sharing.

[@anna__bella_k]

Beautiful route, great footage and useful tips as always ⛺️ Thanks Dave!

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

Glad you enjoyed it Anne 👍

[@dwaynestewart411]

Hey Dave I know you didn't care for it but I thought it was a pretty nice camp and glad I was able to come along. They all won't be perfect but who cares. It's way better than being stuck at the house wasting your life away. Life is too short to worry about the little things. Have a great one my friend and I will see you next time. Dwayne

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

Absolutely Dwayne 👍. Glad you enjoyed and ATB 🙏🏻

[@colinboxall2692]

Great watch. Bagger - when I was looking at the maps, tick a few off etc. 😂 those valleys from little town separating Robinson an hindscarth are great. Always quiet. I have 4 left but will always do scarfell, gable and pillar. Getting off hindscarth or Robinson requires care in the wet. Those waterfalls in that weather looked amazing and peaceful. I was up there two weeks ago and it was wet wet and windy ! Go prepared with waterproofs.

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

Cheers Colin 😎👍

[@bigpondkayaks7731]

i like to see these as they are more manageable for us mortals with heavy gear :)

Big thanks 🙏🏻

[@simoneales4566]

Cracking film Dave. Chilled vibe, great scenery and as always drone footage was brilliant. May have been a disappointing pitch for you..but your content was as entertaining and informative as ever. Thanks for sharing.👍

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

Big thanks Simon. Much appreciated as always 🙏🏻

[@GoingSoloOutdoors]

A great video per usual. Maybe not as pretty of a pitch as you usually get but it definitely beats sharing a spot with anyone else! Great little swimming spot at the end!

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

Nice one 👍. Yeah, it was great to have a peaceful pitch 🙏🏻

[@gainesy_walks]

Great video Dave, it was High Spy and Maiden Moor across, did that area last year and was going to camp Hindscarth or Robinson and the wind ended up nuts, heyho. Long drive home haha. Cheers for sharing, David

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

Sounds great! Glad you enjoyed it 👍😎

[@richardstephens8541]

I travel up the valley to work. The view is easy on the eye.

[@martinjordan5172]

Hi. Great route. I must try that one. Ok, you aren't a bagger 😂 but being a bagger doesn't mean you have to race up each Wainwright, tick it off and then race to the next one. You can enjoy each one and savour the experience and the bagging in a way 'forces' you to go to areas which normally you would avoid and sometimes they surprise and you discover new favorite places. Anyway keep up the good work and happy bagging err sorry l mean exploring. 😂

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

Absolutely Martin. I just like exploring and may ya bit of bagging along the way 😁. ATB

[@drytool]

I thought it was a still photo until you hopped into the frame!

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

[@barralass352]

Your own personal infinity pool with a view can't get much better than that. Your drone footage superb as always. 😊

[@Rogar0]

Well Dave, I thought that it was a grand camp; with some awesome drone footage, i can imagine for yourself that maybe it wasn’t the ‘perfect’ pitch for you but for us, who you took with you it was a good camp! Thanks for that and all the trouble you take for giving us the variety of views! Take care mate! ⛺️👣🏔🦉👍😎

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

Nice one Rogar. Much appreciated 🙏🏻

[@carmelodriscoll6155]

Get to Peak District, some lovely walks and camps there, I go at least twice a month as Lake District just too far for overnighter. Anyway good to see ya out in the English Lakes again Dave

[@marky59]

A new one for me too - might try it in October when I am in the Lakes again = thanks for sharing as always :). stay safe

Picky little bugger aren't you? 😀😀😀. That route looks right up my street so thanks for sharing it. As ever, enjoyed your video. ATB,Roger

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

Very picky 😁👍. Yeah, it’s a great route. Cheers Roger. 🙏🏻

[@lizkent2624]

A great route, the landscape in that part of the Lakes definitely looks different; I found the valleys with the craggy sides and waterfalls really interesting.

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

Cheers Liz 👍😎

[@davidbutterfield8911]

Nice one Dave. Did the Newlands Horseshoe about 18months ago, but was nice to see what was below me on High Spy and Maiden Moor. Lovely valley and falls! Nothing compares to the big ruggedness of Scotland for me either, but The Lakes has a unique beauty and tranquillity of its own. Don’t write off the smaller fells though, some have a mighty view from them, Latrigg and Raven Crag are good examples of that. Keep em coming matey 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻⛰️ 🥾 ⛺️

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

Cheers David. Yeah the Lakes is still a very special place 🏔️🙏🏻

[@kennybrydges9084]

Brilliant that Dave.. bet you was tempted to go jump in the waterfall eh.. but made up with the swim at the end .. good lad.. ATB Kenny. 👍🙏

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

Nice one Kenny 😁👍

[@jonm4989]

Nice one Dave really enjoyed that. I must have walked the Newlands Round 5 or 6 times, but have never ventured down Newlands Valley, That path up to Dale Head Tarn looked lovely. Take care mate and thanks for posting as always.

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

Yeah it was a very enjoyable route. I’d certainly recommend it. Cheers Jon 👍

[@jonm4989]

@@TheSoloSummiteer thanks Dave I think I will. Also when you were recalling the names of the fella on the Cat Bells, Maiden Moor ridge you left out High Soy. Not having a dig by the way, I marvel at your knowledge of the Lakes. All the very best.

[@MountainManJohnFilms]

Nice approach. Quiet top. Reminded me of Pillar a little although I did find an edge. That would be a nice winter summit in good snow? . . . Planned one in the week next week but weather looks crap

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

Aye. Know what you mean John. Good luck for next week 👍

[@Simon_Nonymous]

If they remake Tarzan, I know who they can cast in the lead. That's a nice little route, I've enjoyed a camp at Dalehead Tarn,and always love the profile of Causey Pike and Scar Crags.

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

😆👍. Cheers Simon. ATB

[@Marksnowden1]

Great route dave , fantastic place is dale head, especially from honister, you are my favourite bagger by the way, even though you’re not recognised as one 😂😂 139 bagged 😂😂

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

🤣👍

[@JRLNeal]

Star move at 30mins diving in and drone shot to boot. Must be a first? Also like the drone pull away as you walked down the open mountain path was excellent.

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

Much appreciated 🙏🏻. Thank you 👍

[@ireneboston7953]

Super circuit, Dave. It's been ages since I've been up to that wee reservoir on Scope Beck and I'd forgotten what a lovely forgotten corner it is, so thanks for the reminder! Have you ever camped on Grasmoor... I mean if you're already 'bagged' it of course... LOL I like the route up Lad Hows onto the summit and then back down Liza Beck. Or up Whiteside and along Gasgale Crags to Hopegill Head and then down to Coledale Hause and back down Liza Beck/Gasgale Gill. Just saying...

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

Big thanks Irene 🙏🏻

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

I did try camping on Grasmoor but it’s a very rocky summit. It was also very windy so I had to get off and drop down to the valley.

[@ireneboston7953]

@@TheSoloSummiteer Yeah, you're right, the Grasmoor ridge needs a calm night. The ridge up to Ladyside Pike and Hopegill Head is a good one (avoiding the forest as we know what you think of those! LOL) and the Hope Gill valley is lovely and quiet. As is Rannerdale Beck between Whiteless Pike and Lad Hows. Must get back there, it's all reminding me how stunning that bit is.

[@garymartin557]

boring pitch? maybe, but still you found solitude in a mad world.

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

Absolutely Gary 🙏🏻

[@J-Walks-007]

Cheers Dave love the look of that route… I’ve been there but came from Honister way… it was nice to see that valley walk 👌🏻… your editing gets better & love the tunes… can I ask whick platform you use for those track please? Thanks for taking us along, take care stay safe👍🏻

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

Big thanks J. I used Epidemic Sound for my tracks. It’s a paid subscription royalty free music site.

[@J-Walks-007]

@@TheSoloSummiteer cheers mate👍🏻 one of your track on this one along with the drone was mint👌🏻 didn’t know weather to watch or do some dad dancing😂😂 I’d planned to go up to the lakes today (eastern fells) for a 2 night bagging mission…although I’m not a bagger they’re just on route😉👍🏻

[@J-Walks-007]

Just to add…complete wash-out though 🙄 💦

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

@J-Walks-007 😁👍

[@merkyw4187]

Its about time you popped on a ferry to Ireland Brew ! You'll find solitude here.... ? Well lol no wainwright's here though :( you'll be dissapointed as a bagger :)

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

I was actually looking into it recently. Just need to set aside some time and make some proper plans 👍

[@merkyw4187]

@TheSoloSummiteer great :) anywhere along west Mayo, the North Donegal / Morurnes, all Kerry and West Cork with a couple midlands the Galtees.. wicklow / Dublin and east I wudnt recommend :).

Greetings from winter hill mast. Any recommendations for my little mutt Billy in the lake district. He's getting on now and feeling the pinch. Somewhere picturesque and minimal walk . I've started to carry him around for extra support. Thanks.

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

Sorry to hear the little fella is starting to struggle at bit (I know the feeling 🙄😁). Sounds like you’re taking good care of him though. Unfortunately there’s no where like that I can recommend as it not what I do. Probably best on a campsite, something like the one Langdales 😎⛺️👍. Take care you guys 🐕🙏🏻
